Does anyone know of a free odds calulator I can use to see how a particular hand does against 1-9 random hands and such? If you do, if you can provide a link for a web calculator or a link to download it, it would be appreciated.

Briachek I downloaded texas calculatem from download.com, I also have another random application called poker calculator that does odds for omaha high and O8 but the interface is not as nice as texas calculatem. Calaculatem will only 3 random hands the other one will run up to 9 other random hands. If you want the poker calculator send me a PM with your E-mail address and I'll send it to you.

if you are a little familiar with C/C++ code you can easily download a very good free poker library.
You'll find them at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pokersource/
These libraries are used at ww.twodimes.net and it's easy to use, very perfomant and efficient
