Three modules are included with Turbo Stud 8/or Better:

1. Profile - Create players with individual playing styles! Modify the playing styles of included players or create your own players. No programming skills are required. Extensive control over play based on type of hands, position and reaction to the board. The profile modules are custom designed for each of the different poker games.

2. Lineup - Choose which players you want in the game. Create a loose game, a tight game, etc. to simulate the games you typically play in.

3. The game itself - Turbo Stud 8/or Better. Play with 2 to 8 players, control the nature of the game; fixed or spread limit, blind and bet amounts, etc. Stack the deck to create special situations. Statistical reporting includes analysis of starting cards, 3-D bar charts and graphs. The stats can be saved to disk. Play interactively, with features like instant replay, or run high speed simulation to test different strategies.

Custom Hand Analyzers are built into each of the Turbo Poker games. The results are quite different from those obtained using "dumb" simulation techniques. In a real game, players bet, call, raise, reraise, fold, etc. based on the value of their hands, the nature of the board and their playing style. All of our Turbo games do this as well. The computer players act like real players. The results are much more accurate than analyzers which have no betting or folding.

Other Features Include: Get advice and exact odds as you play. Set antes, bet amounts, rake, toke, bring in method, etc. Challenge the best computer player. Peek at other player's cards, replay hands, optional bring-in, evaluate your play using the extensive statistics. Enhanced graphics, sound, printing, and statistics. Ability to save and restore games in progress. Windows 95 through Win XP, or Mac with Virtual PC.
