The *easiest* non-nlt game to implement should be limit texas. After that nl omaha and pl omaha. If you implement omaha, omaha hi-lo isn’t much of a stretch as you only need to change the hand evaluation (and that code is publicly available from a number of sources).

Stud games could be a bit of a pain, due to the constantly changing positions and some occasional weirdness in hand strength evaluation.

Draw games might challenge the mini-hh somewhat (triple draw easily could have a player seeing 18 cards at showdown combined with 4 streets of betting decisions and 6 drawing decisions) and you’ll need some new hand ranking code.

From a profit pov the priority should be plo followed by limit texas, as those games are more common.

I do think that a lot of the work involved already have been done

John Deer,

In analyzing the ease of implementing limit holdem, you’ve missed the key issue of limit poker making one’s eyes bleed. This obscures the developer’s view of the monitor, making it hard to type correctly :P

Happy new year,

Al
