Poker Effective Hand Strength (EHS) algorithm algorithm, it can not be computed manually and has to be used in an Artificial Intelligence context. Poker Effective Hand Strength (EHS) algorithm Effective Hand Strength (EHS) is a poker algorithm conceived by computer scientists Darse Billings, Denis Papp, Jonathan Schaeffer and Duane Szafron that has been published for the first time in a It has since then been considered as a reference in the realm of poker artificial intelligence and has been the basis of further research such as: The algorithm is a numerical approach to quantify the strength of a poker hand where its result expresses the strength
Draw (poker) Draw (poker) A poker player is drawing if they have a hand that is incomplete and needs further cards to become valuable. The hand itself is called a draw or drawing hand. For example, in seven-card stud, if four of a player's first five cards are all spades, but the hand is otherwise weak, they are "drawing to" a flush. In contrast, a made hand already has value and does not necessarily need to draw to win. A made starting hand with no help can lose to an inferior starting hand with a favorable draw.
