WinPoker and Frugal are intelligent enough to tweak the strategy order to reflect this. vpgenius ranks strictly on the based of general "Avg Values", without this additional consideration.

If you want to compare "apples to apples", then use the feature in each program that will analyze a specific 5 card hand. In WP, that's the "Analyze Any Hand" option you've used. In FVP, it's "Strategy Charts"/"Create a Hand".

Give 5 specific cards, both programs should arrive at the same rankings.
