Support for 4 different betting strategies where the program automatically changes your bets based upon the outcome of each hand.

Downloads

The program itself. Just sync it to your Palm and enjoy. It's been tested on Pose, the Palm simulator, and my Palm VIIx. If you find problems on other units let me know and I'll see what I can do about fixing them. Without access to other hardware I don't know what I can acomplish but, who knows?

This is a gzipped tarball. The sources were compiled with the Prc tools and the PilRC recource compiler, both of which are available for free download from SourceForge. There is no configuration necessary for this program, just unpack the tarball, issue the command make and, if you have all the necessary tools, you should magically create the PBJ binary, pbj.prc
