Firstly, I'm just learning to play the game right now, and I don't know what the most useful knowledge is (from my understanding, there's differing opinions out there about that also, even among successful professionals).

"More useful knowledge is your odds of winning after the flop with the turn and river both left... Therefore it would make more sense to have your 'Either' column listed as 'Turn'..."

Regarding your other post, it's true that it would be more useful to know the odds of winning vs. hot/cold hands. However, I don't have the ability to do that right now, mathematically. It sounds like a pretty intense project.

Regarding this post, what you're requesting that I do here is to remove a column of information. I would much rather that a user chose to ignore it than didn't have access to it, though.

At a loose limit table, you're probably right about ignoring turn card odds in favour of board odds. However, at a no-limit table, turn card odds might be a valid consideration.

Because everyone has their own opinions about these things, and because the "best" play changes according to betting limitations and opponents, I've put up as much info as possible, given my understanding of probabilities and the game.

Regards,
Dave.
