- About Video Poker ... NOT! (VPN)
-
- It may look like Video Poker, but it's not. If you like to win, VPN lets you
- cheat. If you like to understand, VPN provides some tools. If VPN does not
- convince you to stop playing Video Poker, it will make you a better player.
- Some of the features of VPN include:
-
- 1. strength analysis to help you select the best way to play a hand.
- 2. fast advice heuristics to tell you the best way to play a hand.
- 3. play two hands at once to compare strategies.
- 4. set up your own hands to study specfic situations.
- 5. change pay outs to study their effect on strategy.
- 6. better than average card graphics, with some surprises.
-
- VPN should run on any Mac with System 6.0.7 or later. Due to the
- computationally intensive nature of certain features, VPN works best on
- systems at least as powerful as the IIsi. Card displays look best on a color
- monitor. With all features enabled, VPN works best on a screen of 640 by
- 480 pixels or greater.
-
- Warning: the Advise and Analyse features are not "friendly". Do not use
- them in a system that must perform time-critical tasks.
