Red and black are not 50/50 because zero also wins for the house. A specific number pays more because it is much less likely to land.
LEARNING CENTRE
Know what the numbers actually mean.
Simulations are most useful when paired with clear explanations. These primers help you interpret a run without mistaking luck for a reliable edge.
Choices affect expected outcomes, but no decision system makes individual hands predictable. Table rules also change the mathematics.
Poker decisions depend on cards, position, bet size and an opponent model. A simulator can train reasoning, but it cannot reproduce every human opponent.
Random variation, rule differences, execution, costs, opponents and sample size all matter. Past simulated results are not predictions.
Core concepts
Expected value
The weighted average outcome of a decision over many repetitions—not what will happen next.
Variance
The natural spread of results around an average. High variance can create long winning or losing runs.
Drawdown
The fall from a previous peak. A strategy can finish ahead while still experiencing severe intermediate losses.
