good job on that one. Maybe some visual improvements would be helpful? St. like: selecting the cards from a stack of cards and disabling the already chosen one (maybe with https://deckofcardsapi.com/)

btw: how are u running the simulations?

Thank you! The api looks really useful, and I'll see if I can add it in. The simulations are basically random draws from a deck of cards assuming that the cards inputted have already been drawn. I then just count the wins from the random draws to figure out the probability of winning.

why not just use pokerstove?

Because they wanted to build something.

While pokerstove does essentially the same calculations, I don't think it has a web interface. My goal was to make an easy to use app that didn't require you to install anything or have any programming background. But thanks for the note, and I can definitely use pokerstove in the backend to run faster simulations.
