Poker Edge Review

Have you got the edge over your opposition….Poker Edge to be more precise? Over the past few weeks I have been testing a piece of software called Poker Edge and found it to be more than useful. I think that as online poker moves into a whole new phase then it is imperative that the [...]

Poker EV review

Texas Calculatem Review

As poker enters the digital age, it’s interesting to see what aspects and artifacts of the game get updated. Some changes are minor – for example, the option to view a deck in four color mode online.

Review of Pokertube .com

Televised poker has come a long way since the now-primitive looking recordings of the old WSOPs. The development of the World Poker Tour broadcasts represented one step forward, and now the proliferation of video on the internet is taking things in even more interesting directions. Internet video tends to offer shorter-form content with [...]

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
