Re: [vpFREE] killer feature for a VP trainer

<<i want directed training. my VP trainer should look at my errors,
identify my problem areas, and give me more hands like the ones that
gave me problems. any good human tutor does this. why not have the
computer tutor do it too?>>

Frugal Video Poker does this. After you have made at least one error on the
game you are playing (you can't choose this option until you have made an
error so you might make one on purpose on a hand that is difficult for you),
here is what you do:

Replaying Errors (from "Help")

Error replay insures that you learn from your mistakes by re-testing you on
errors incurred in your session. You can randomly replay hands that you have
missed during a session at a pace that you determine. We also change the
suits and the order of the hand, randomly, so that the errant hand does not
appear as obvious.

Choose 'Replay Errors' from the 'Options' menu:

· Select 'Enable Random Error Play' to enable this feature (you may also
disable error play at any time). If it is enabled, a check will appear in
front of the menu item.

· Type in the 'Mix of Errors and Random Hands', which is in the format of 1
out of every (player entry) hands.

If you choose, for example, 'Errors appear approximately 1 out of every 5
hands', this does not mean errant hands will appear every 5'th hand, in the
order in which the errors occurred. The errors will appear at a random
frequency that averages 1 out of 5 times over the long-term. Errant hands
may not occur for 10 hands, or they may appear twice in a row. The error
hand dealt is also randomly picked from all of your errors.

I find this a very valuable feature, the one I use most when I practice.
