Exact hold analysis
Video poker is just a paytable plus draw enumeration, which makes it perfect for a dedicated exact-analysis page.
- This analyzer enumerates every draw for every one of the 32 possible hold masks.
- The current implementation focuses on exact choice quality rather than chart memorization.
