Poker1 / MCU tables of odds: Index

Changed entries or pages

Changed title of “poker odds: 5-draw + joker, two cards to trips” to “… trips (a),” because it and the previous entry in that series covered similar odds and had the same title. The first “(a)” covers chances of hitting specific hands and the just added “(b)” covers the chances of hitting specific hands or better.

Reformatted and published some poker odds charts

Inserted link to poker odds tables index into first seven entries completed

Added notice to bottom of first four poker odds tables explaining that they are formatted differently from others, in accordance with new Poker1.com typography.

Added “(a)” to entry previously titled “Poker odds: 5-draw + joker, two cards to trips.” (The newest entry with the same title, except ending in “(b)”, covers making specific hands or better, while “(a)” covers just making specific hands. This method will be used for other entries in which the title doesn’t specify the difference.)

Added numbers to the entry titles for poker odds tables, beginning with “01”

Functionality added, discontinued, or changed…

Created index for tag “Poker odds table”

Other…

Devised simpler method for copying poker odds tables from old Poker1.com to new site. (This involved use of BlogJet editor, which was purchased for this sole purpose and not otherwise used due to absence of CSS style employment. Copied table won’t format correctly in either WLW or the WP editor, and new quick touch-ups will work, often because of WP’s built-in reformatting. A “pre” tag is another option, but was ruled out in this case.) HTML from a previous odds-series post is copied from either Windows Live Writer’s or WordPress’ editor HTML tab. It is inserted into the BlogJet HTML tab. The entire previous table is then deleted in BlogJet’s design view. BlogJet won’t deal directly with tables. The new table is copied from the old P1 site, beginning with the heading and ending at the end of the text or number INSIDE the final lower right cell. (Note: This method prevents copying phantom tables that wrap around the targeted one.) The table is inserted into BlogJet, the title is changed, the tags “Old p1” and “Poker odds table” are added, along with the categories “Odds” and either “Other games” or “Hold ’em.” It may be necessary to create the line giving the total combinations separately below the table. All graphic suits (which show up blank) are compared to the live old P1 site, the graphics suits are deleted, and intended Unicode text suits are inserted manually. After checking the entry live, glitches are resolved. While this method is deemed cumbersome, it is simpler than the one used previously. (Further note: BlogJet will often strip out the <!—more –> more tag – not just the space after “more” as the WordPress editor often does – and require hand coding of the HTML. Poker1 uses this tag to make only the entry heading visible until clicked for access.)

The secret to conquering tricky opponents

Changed entries or pages

Reformatted “Poker1 visitor tips” entry so that “…let us know about glitches” block quote is above the first paragraph. This eliminates the possibility of the block-quote box colliding with the P1 graphic and being displayed incorrectly by Internet Explorer (through version 8). Also added horizontal rules above and below the “glitches” message.
