I was looking around my favorites on a computer I was about to reformat and I came across this link that I had been searching for for some time:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~prock/poker/hilo-10000-sorted
It is a link to a page by I believe Andrew Prock who is a quite a knowledgeable stud 8 player in my opinion. Prock some time ago posted a link to this on RGP but I can't find the post.
This a simulation of all of the 1755 different stud 8 starting hands and how they fair against 6 other (7-handed) random starting hands in a show-down simulation to the river. Since this is showdown poker what card is in the door doesn't affect the sim and of course AcAd4d = AsAh4s. Also naturally each hand shown represents a varying number of actual hands. Now I realize these types of simulations are of limited value but I thought anyone who hadn't seen something like this for stud 8 might be interested.
I have been working with the Wilson software for stud 8 and I am contemplating doing a simulation for stud 8 starting hands using computer players instead of showdown poker. I would guess that the work has already been done by someone but I haven't seen it. This would be something like the tables in Bill Boston's manuscript on Omaha 8. The project is pretty intimidating due to size and I wonder if it will be of any significant value. I think playing skills involving board cards are so important and variable in stud 8 compared to Omaha 8 that simulations may have less value.
If anyone has worked with the Wilson stud 8 program I'd like to hear about your experience. Any imput would be appreciated.
