StoxEV
One of the many programs I’ve been focusing writing on for the book is StoxEV, this little beast is a really in-depth EV calculation tool. You create a hand in flowchart format, giving each player specific hole cards or ranges, and then you can throw some actions in, add a bunch of conditions, set parameters for flops, and weight decisions. You can basically make a tree that represents something that did happen and fuck with it to find more profitable lines, or you can create a big tree full of ‘what if’s’ and build scenarios.
This is true EV, risk vs. reward with all the facts, and all the assumptions. Blinds, site rake, caps, antes, tournament structures are all catered for, including ICM conversions. You can use the program to make unexploitable shoves, create ranges with only +EV hands for situations, or use the powerful math engine to get results accurate enough to hang on your wall.
I’m glad I had to research, play, and try to break this program for the book, it’s taught me a lot, and I hope what I’ve written about it will do it justice.
