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?

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.

Because they wanted to build something.
