  ANALYZE ANY SITUATION IN THE 3-HOLE-CARD FORM OF OMAHA HOLD'EM

  For information on the 4-hole-card "Omaha Hold'em Hand/Game Analyzer(tm)"
  and other Analyzers or poker games, see "Info on Other Analyzers / Games"
  by pressing 'I' at the Main Menu.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  TO START THE 3-CARD OMAHA HOLD'EM HAND/GAME ANALYZER (3-hole-card form):

    At the DOS prompt (A>), type in "OMAHA3" and press the 'Enter' key.

  INTRODUCTORY:  All WorkWare Hand/Game Analyzers work basically the same.
  Almost all of the essential command-keys and what they do are shown on
  screen.  The following help is broken into 2 parts.  First, the GENERAL
  HELP explains WorkWare's Analyzers using the 7-Card-Stud Analyzer as
  the example.  Second, the SUPPLEMENTAL HELP explains features that are
  especially useful in analyzing the complexities of Omaha Hold'em.

  GENERAL HELP:

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  A "Monte Carlo" test consists of compiling the results of a series of
  trial hands.  For example, if you wanted to determine how often a starting
  hand (1st 3 cards) of Ace, Ace, Two would win against 6 other players, you
  would give 1 player such a hand and then deal many trial hands to all 7
  players.  The more trials made, the more reliable the results become.

  To run Monte Carlo tests of 7 Card Stud, enter 7ANLYZ at the DOS prompt.
  The following screen ( without the 7, 8, 9 cards, and with all card-columns
  active and all results set to 0 ) will appear.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  F1-Start : The F1 key starts the Monte Carlo run.
  Esc-Exit : The Escape key exits the program.
  Ins/Del-Add/Remove : The Insert and Delete keys add or remove a player.
  BkSp-Clear : The Backspace key clears all totals.
  -Move : The Up and Down Arrow keys move the cursor from card to card.
   -Assign : The Right and Left Arrow keys assign a card a value.
  ─┘-Set : The Enter key enables setting the number of trials to run.
  +- keys-Change details : The Plus and Minus keys change the type of
     statistics shown.  The two types of statistics are as follows:

  Type 1:

 W      3612       3096       3038       3104   = Number of wins
 L      9238       9754       9812       9746   = Number of losses
 %     28.11      24.09      23.64      24.16   = Percent of wins
 O      2.56       3.15       3.23       3.14   = Odds to 1 of winning
 $      1598       -466       -698       -434   = Money accumulated *

  (*Note that the money accumulated ($) is based on $1 bet every round by
    every player.  This type of uniform betting, of course, does not reflect
    actual betting, but is meant only to give an indication of whether the
    hand being tested generally results in profit or loss.)

  Type 2:

  Straight Flush           0   0.00 %     Three of a kind          0   0.00 %
  Four of a kind           0   0.00 %     Two Pairs                5  35.71 %
  Full House               0   0.00 %     One Pair                 5  35.71 %
  Flush                    1   7.14 %     Nothing                  3  21.43 %
  Straight                 0   0.00 %     Player #  1

  Type 2 statistics show how many times the trial hand resulted in each
  possible poker score, for example, Straights or Full Houses.

  While the Monte Carlo trials are running, the following commands are seen
  at the bottom of the screen:

             F1-Stop  Ins-Display  Space-Pause  Del-Single step

 F1-Stop : Stop the Monte Carlo run.  It may be resumed.
 Ins-Display : Change how much information is displayed, and how often the
               statistics are updated.  For the fastest testing, press the
               Insert key until nothing is changing except the number of
               "deals completed."  Also, for speed, keep the Type 1 statis-
               tics on the screen.  In this case, the statistics are updated
               only every 50 deals.
 Space-Pause : The Space bar pauses the run and updates statistics.
 Del-Single step : The Delete key single-steps through trial hands.

 NOTE:  The F10 key will clear all card settings.

After trials have been made, exit the Monte Carlo screen by pressing the
Escape key.  At the main menu, press R for [R]eports.  The following is an
example of the information that will appear on screen:

Definitions:

  Resultant Hands:  The figures in this column show how many hands of each
    kind were made in the number of total deals.

  % Deals:  This column shows the resultant hands as a percentage of the
    total deals.

  Res. Odds:  Resultant Odds show the odds to 1 of getting the resultant hand.

  Winning Hands:  This column show how often the resultant hands won against
    the other players.

  % Deals:  This shows the winning hands as a percentage of total deals.

  % Res. Hands:  This shows the winning hands as a percentage of the
    resultant hands.  In the example screen above, you see that the player
    started with Queens paired in the hole.  He got a Full House 6.10% of
    the total deals.  And when he got a Full House, he won with it 93.44% of
    the time.

  Winning Odds: This shows the odds to 1 of winning with the resultant hand.


  SUPPLEMENTAL HELP SPECIFIC TO OMAHA:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 3-CARD OMAHA HAND/GAME ANALYZER(tm)
     Copyright 1989 The WorkWare Company.  All rights reserved.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

     This Analyzer works very much like our 7 Card Stud and Texas Hold'em
     Analyzers.  But because Omaha is more complex (in its combinations
     and permutations, not necessarily in its entire playability), Omaha
     human analyzers need a little more help.  So, the Omaha Hand/Game
     Analyzer(tm) has the following additional functions:

I.   WHEN TRIALS ARE RUNNING

     Esc   The 'Esc'ape key now will halt the running of trials.
           This is in addition to the F1 key (the start/stop toggle).

II.  WHEN TRIALS ARE NOT RUNNING

     F5    From the Analyzer screen, press 'F5' to see reports.  It
           is not necessary to exit to the Main Menu and press 'R'.

     F2    Press 'F2' to save the current results to a disk file.  Name
           the file any DOS-legal 'filename' and add the extension '.PKR'.
           If you need a directory, press 'F2' again.

     F4    Press 'F4' to load a 'filename.PKR' file from disk.  Press
           the 'F2' key to access a "point-and-shoot" directory.

     F10   Press the 'F10' key to get a pop-up screen like the following:

                     ╔══════════════════╗
                     ║  Clear Card(s):  ║
                     ║   ─┘=One card   ║
                     ║   Y(es)=All      ║
                     ║   Esc=Exit       ║
                     ║  Command        ║
                     ╚══════════════════╝

           Press '─┘' (Enter) to clear the current card, i.e., the card
           where the cursor is positioned.

           Press 'Y' or 'y' to CLEAR ALL CARDS without further confirma-
           tion.

           Press the 'Esc'ape key to exit without clearing anything.

III. WHEN YOU ARE SINGLE-STEPPING THROUGH TRIAL HANDS

     SPACE Once you have begun single-stepping through trials, the space-
           bar and the 'Del' key will continue the 1-stepping.  The space-
           bar, however, can not initiate single-stepping.

     F9    The 'F9' key toggles off and on the √ check-marking of the 5
           cards out of 9 a particular player used for his highest hand.

     ±     Changes which player's 'F9' √ marks are displayed.


IV.  ADDITIONAL REPORT SCREENS

     In Omaha Hold'em, you must use 2 out of 3 hold cards dealt to you.
     There are 3 possible ways to combine 3 cards 2 at a time.  The 3
     combinations are:
                       cards 1 & 2
                       cards 1 & 3
                       cards 2 & 3

     To analyze Omaha Hold'em, you must track the performance of each
     of the 3 possible hole-card combinations.

     F5    Once you have accessed the Report section, by pressing either
           'R' at the Main Menu or 'F5' at the Analyzer screen, press
           'F5' again to toggle between the following two report modes.

     REPORT MODES:

       3-CARD MODE:  The Monte Carlo results in 3-CARD MODE reflect
                     resultant and winning hands FOR THE PLAYER,
                     irrespective of which two hole cards were used
                     to make the Player's highest hand.  (If you are
                     a registered user, see "Hand/Game Analyzer, Reports"
                     in the printed manual.)

       2-OF-3 MODE   The results in 2-OF-3 MODE reflect resultant and
                     winning hands FOR THE PLAYER'S PARTICULAR 2-HOLE-
                     CARD COMBINATION.

       The following is an example screen of the 2-OF-3 MODE:

______________________________________________________________________________

     Esc   Press the 'Esc'ape key to return to the Main Menu or to the
           Analyzer screen, wherever you came from.

     F5    Toggle back to the 3-CARD MODE.

     ±     The '+' and '-' keys change the 2-hole-card combination that
           appears on screen.

     F1    Press 'F1' to print the current screen.

     F10   Print all 6 screens of the 2-hole-card combinations.

     TIPS:

     1)  To change a player, you must be in the 3-CARD MODE.  So, from
         the 2-OF-3 MODE, press 'F5', then press '+' or '-'.

     2)  In the 2-OF-3 MODE, you will see some hole-card combinations
         report all 0's.  This is normal, occurring because the combi-
         nation is never the best, or it is a duplicate of another
         combination in the hand.

     3)  In the Report section, use the 'F5' key and the '+' and '-'
         keys to set the screen to the Player/Position and the particu-
         lar 2-hole-card combination you are testing.  Then, when you
         press 'F5' from the Analyzer screen, you will return to the
         same player and hole-card combination on the report screen.
