Poker Effective Hand Strength (EHS) algorithm hands. The underlying assumption is that an Effective Hand Strength (EHS) is composed of the current Hand Strength (HS) and its potential to improve or deteriorate (PPOT and NPOT): where: Hand Strength (HS) will enumerate all possible opponent hand cards and count the occurrences where our hand is strongest (+50% of the cases where we are tied): codice_1 In addition, EHS will consider the hand potential (i.e. its probabilities to improve or deteriorate): codice_2 EHS is applicable to a wide variety of poker games such as Texas hold 'em poker, Omaha hold 'em poker, ...
