With people constantly looking for help with regards to their poker game, a growing number of software programs have sprung up to meet this demand. And while quite a few of them want some type of compensation in return (not a totally unreasonable request); some are provided by people purely through their own goodwill. PokerEV is one such piece of software that seems to fall into the latter category (at least until the better version is finished). It was developed by the creator as an attempt at upgrading current statistical data programs that the person was unhappy with and to showcase the upcoming version.
Overview
PokerEV could best be described as a piece of review software that analyzes a person’s poker playing sessions. The PokerTracker database is what Poker EV runs off of and it gives players a multitude of tools such as graphs, stat calculators, EV (expected values) stats, and several other smaller things. The three poker games that Poker EV works with are Holdem, Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo. The full version is not available at the time of this review, however, the free beta version is up for download.
Pros
One definite pro with the free beta version is exactly as stated, “free”. And for a free piece of software, it is pretty good at giving some relevant statistics. The graphs clue a player in on how they can improve their play by spotting good trends and reinforcing them or by noticing bad patterns and trying to break them. The program can also help you attribute your recent good/bad play to specific factors such as not going to showdowns enough, trying to see too many flops, etc.
Cons
As previously stated, only the free beta version is available right now so there are bound to be some issues. One thing that is definitely an issue is that certain hands are sometimes skipped in the analysis. This may be due to the program not wanting to give bad data but it is still annoying. The graphs can be kind of hard to read and they sometimes give vague information that isn’t always all that helpful. Plus with the skipped hands, the graphs’ value as a helpful tool decreases quite a bit.
Overall
The price seems is good enough to at least give this free beta version of Poker EV a try and it could serve as a precursor to something much better when the new one comes out.
