               EXPLANATION OF ITEMS ON THE STATISTICS SCREEN        Page 1

The HANDS REVIEW box:

As you play, statistics are accumulated each time you WIN, FOLD or LOOSE a
hand.  When you WIN or FOLD, a count is added under the card number at which
the win or fold occured.  Example: if you bet after the 3rd card dealt and
your opponents fold, thus winning the pot, the count for WON under card #3 is
upped by 1. The LOST counter is only updated when you have played down to the
fifth card and have lost the pot.  The AVERAGE SIZE POT shown to the right of
the counts shows you what was the average pot size when you won, folded or
lost.  The above statistics are significant in the following ways:
1) Most of your WINS will occur after 2 or 3 cards dealt.  The more wins
   you have after 4 or 5 cards, the bigger winner you can be.
2) Most of your FOLDS should be taking place after 2 or 3 cards.  Repeated
   folding after 4 and 5 cards points to a player too anxious of being on
   every pot and can lead to big losses.
3) The AVERAGE SIZE POTS for a good player will likely look as follows:
   For WON:  more than FOLD but less than LOST
   For FOLD: the smallest of the averages
   For LOST: the largest of the averages, hopefully, a small number of hands.
The STRATEGY INDEX box:                                             Page 2

As you play each hand, the TUTOR grades you on your skills in the 7 basic
areas of the game: CHECKING, CALLING, BETTING, RAISING, FOLDING, BLUFFING
and SANDBAGGING.

Each time an opportunity to take one of these actions presents itself, you
accumulate or loose points depending on whether you took the action
correctly (as the TUTOR would suggest).  Please remember the TUTOR is not
infallible.

A perfect score for each category is 10.  Actions which have not presented
themselves will show N/A (not applicable).

Please note that these indices do not take into consideration whether you
won or lost the hands.  You might get lucky and win a few hands by betting
incorrectly, but in the long run you will not be a winner!




The SUGGESTIONS box:                                                Page 3

After each hand is played, the TUTOR will comment on your actions.  These
simple comments are designed to help you better understand some of the
incorrect actions you took during that hand.

If no comments are shown, the TUTOR has not disagreed with any of your
actions on the last hand played.

Again, please remember that students do not always agree with their
teachers.  Take all comments, indices and statistics as an aid, not gospel.
If you have a better way to play cards than the TUTOR, and you can prove it
with a track record of consistent wins, don't change your style!


The PLAYER EXPERTISE box:

The indices and statistics are combined to produce the player's overall
RATING and LEVEL.  The top rating is 100 and the top level is PRO PLAYER.
These ratings are only available after playing a minimum of 5 hands.
