Hi-
I'm new to UPF and wondering if there is an internet site where you can run simulations to compare outcomes of heads up no limit holdem hands.

The best you are going to be able to do is to determine the "showdown value" of two hands. That is, if player A has this hand and player B has that hand, what is the all-in, showdown equity of each hand.

I would suggest a program called Hold'em Showdown by Steve Brecher at www.brecware.com or Poker Stove by Andrew Prock. which I believe you can get from his website at www.pokerstove.com.

Brecher's program will perform exhaustive analysis when one or two hands are unknown (two unknown hands can take several billion iterations, so have a fast computer or a lot of time). Prock's program is very fast, but doesn't analyse known holdings against random hands.

Get both, as they are both very useful.

Turbo Texas Hold em by Wilson Software is amazing, you can run ANY simulation that you want. It also analyzes your play and gives tips.

It is definitely worth the money.
