Review of PokerGrapher

Part of the awesomeness of PokerTracker stems from its ubiquity, insomuch that people are always developing neat little tools that work with or around it. One member of that group is PokerGrapher, a tool that is probably familiar to many, but worth mentioning again because of the function it performs – making profit (or [...]

Review of Poker Stove

PokerStove is a downloadable poker calculator that lets you perform complex equity calculations with a few simple clicks.

Look
This, to me, is what software should look like – no frills, no bells, no whistles – just the stuff you need and a clear interface for getting you there. It’s not the tops aesthetically, but who cares?

Review of Acespade Software: Texas Hold’em Pro 2007

I received my copy of Texas Hold’em Pro 2007 in a no-frills CD sleeve. Installation was a snap and within 3 minutes I was playing with the program. It isn’t the prettiest interface. There is very little in the way of animation and the green and brown color scheme wasn’t much to [...]

Review of Idle Miner

Any serious online poker player knows the value of analyzing hand histories. A lot of poker strategy can be learnt by studying your good and bad moves afterwards without time pressure. Of course, if you could study other players’ hand histories as well, you could learn even more.

Note that there is [...]

Review of Wilson Software’s Turbo Texas Hold’em Version 6

Review of Wilson Software’s Tournament Texas Hold’em

Tournament Texas Hold’em is, I am sad to say, Wilson Software’s weakest offering. That does not mean the program is useless, but you should probably be well aware of what you’re getting or you might be disappointed.
Features

The game features tournament limit, no-limit, and pot-limit Texas Hold’em. This is the only Wilson Software program that currently [...]

Review of Wilson Software’s Turbo Omaha High/Low Split Version 3

Turbo Omaha High/Low Split Version 3 only supports limit play. This is almost always the form found in brick & mortar casinos, but pot-limit Omaha high/low has some popularity online. This program will be no help with that, but if you like to play the limit game, this just might be the program for you.
