Repost of my reddit rant about UX issues in this visualization:
This is interesting, but the layout is pretty confusing for somebody who studies poker.
Every other hand chart has AA in the top left, like these from Poker Stove: http://i.imgur.com/cvgvh.png http://i.imgur.com/cvgvh.png
Also, yours have duplicate information. As2d and 2dAs are both displayed, when in fact they are equal in poker. Most charts split up suited and offsuit hands, like the ones above or this one from Equilab which lists out every combo separately like you do: http://i.imgur.com/BqS1iht.png http://i.imgur.com/BqS1iht.png
Your input format is also confusing. On your site, users have to type '6C 6D' but everywhere else on the internet, that would be written '6c6d'
- cbeaumont 12y agoOP here. Your points about the convention for lowercase and aces on the upper-left are fair. However, the duplicated information in these grids was intentional. I was less interested in building a standard suited/off suited odds table (those are readily available) or a strategy tool, and more interested in a visually clear way to explore the "probability landscape". I find these grids with duplicate information easier to grasp on first viewing. I also like seeing how subtle suit-based patterns in panel 1 cancel out when you average all slices into panel 2. You can't show that unless you retain all suit information
