Default Re: Hold\'em roll-out simulators?

Storing all possible combinations of the 7 card hands is incredibly wasteful. In fact, because most computers will store some of your huge memory in virtual memory, it would be much faster just to efficiently process each 7 hand combination individually.

PokerStove is so fast not because it can process hands quickly, but because it is very smart about which boards it needs to process and which ones it doesn't, and lumps them all together.

I have not looked at or run your program, but if you really want to make it more viable for anybody to run, fix up the code that uses >500 MB of ram, as it is probably slowing the program down.
