- The WorkWare Co. publishes several poker programs. Some are
- "shareware," insofar as your license allows you to copy the program
- and distribute it or give it away. There are 3 "shareware" programs:
-
- 1) "Poker Challenge 7 Card Stud Version": a game of real
- poker with 1-7 computer opponents.
- 2) "Poker Challenge Texas Hold'em Version": a game of real
- poker with 1-9 computer opponents.
- 3) "Vegas Pro Video Poker": a game like the video poker
- (five-card draw) machines in Las Vegas Casinos.
-
- If you register any one of the three "shareware" programs, WorkWare
- will send you all 3 on disk now and one no-charge update in the
- future. Also, you may subtract $10 from any other program you order.

-
- THE MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE "MASTERY OF POKER" SERIES:
-
- QUESTION: DO 7 CARD STUD AND TEXAS HOLD'EM, THE GAMES, REALLY PLAY
- POKER? Yes. The primary purpose of the game programs is to play
- poker. A beginner, or anyone playing for entertainment, can simply
- ignore the tools that are included for professional players. In
- Stud, you play against 1 to 7 computer opponents ("AutoPlayers"), in
- Hold'em, 1 to 9. The AutoPlayers simulate the play of human beings
- with distinctly different playing styles. And you can change their
- styles! You'll have to play for real to come out a winner!
-
- QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE HAND/GAME ANALYZERS? There are two
- "Analyzers," one for Stud and one for Texas Hold'em. The Analyzers
- do not play games. An Analyzer lets you create any possible situa-
- tion of cards. Then the Analyzer compiles statistics on your
- chances of winning, your opponents' chances, the kinds and numbers
- of hands (straights, pairs, etc) that result from the situation, et
- cetera. Serious players use the Analyzers to answer questions
- about poker that are too complex for math or "card sense."
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: IBM or compatible, DOS 2.0 or later, 192k free
- RAM (256k machine), any monitor, no special graphics card.
-
- PLAYING TO WIN
-
- To win at poker, you need two things: practice and knowledge. Now
- you can easily use your computer to get both! The "Mastery of Poker"
- programs were originally designed for professional poker players.
-
- 7 CARD STUD, the Game: The AutoPlayers bet, raise, fold--and even
- bluff--automatically! The computer keeps track of winning hands,
- stays on cards 3 thru 6, final bets, types of winning hands, wins per
- hour, etc. See a complete report for each player. Set up the game
- for casino play or a private game. Set the betting limits, antes,
- maximum raises, players' stakes, etc. Play to improve your skills or
- just for fun. Includes the Stud Hand/Game Analyzer(tm) as a bonus!
-
- TEXAS HOLD'EM, the Game: Play against 1 to 9 AutoPlayers. The rules
- are different, but the game's computer features are like 7 Card
- Stud's. Includes the Hold'em Hand/Game Analyzer(tm) as a bonus!
-
- 7 CARD STUD HAND/GAME ANALYZER: Choose any of the cards in a hand
- for 1-7 players, then run 1000's of test hands in minutes. See what
- wins against what, and how often. The computer reports numbers,
- percentages, and odds for both resultant and winning hands. Test
- stay-or-fold strategies. Improve your "card sense." View statistics
- on screen or print them out. Any combination of hole cards and up
- cards may be tested. In 2-5 minutes, find answers that expert
- mathematicians would take hours or days to figure out.
-
- TEXAS HOLD'EM HAND/GAME ANALYZER: Like the 7 Card Stud Analyzer, but
- for Texas Hold 'em. Test the "board" or hole cards for 1-14 players.
-
- The games include a 16-page manual. Analyzers include instructions.
- The programs are in color if your monitor is.
