Re: [vpFREE] killer feature for a VP trainer

The ability to replay hands you made an error on has value, but it's
limited. I've used it and and had two issues with it.

1. You recognize the hand.

2. The hand is in the error log because of a typo. You know you want
to hold all three aces, not just two of them.

Were I designing a practice program, you'd be able to choose a class
of hand to practice, and it would give you example after example until
you had it down cold. They types of hand where this would be useful
would vary by game.

Examples:

Years ago, when I was learning how to play KBJW, I had Winpoker give
me hands with the joker (one of the modes it has is you specifying
cards) and I was able to get more concentrated practice choosing
midcards to hold. I got to the point where I was getting 99%
efficiency without even thinking.

Later I was learning 10/7 DB. I had it present me with hands
including A J (offsuit) and three other random hands. Soon, the rules
about the penalty cards dictating whether to hold the AJ or just the A
were second nature.
