Related Poker Software Products
I have provided a collection of some related poker software products other than HoldemHelpem Hold'em Calculator. None of these products
are affiliated with HoldemHelpem software in any way and HoldemHelpem does not endorse any of these products.
Most of these products have a free offer where you have to be a new sign-up at a supported poker room,
make the minimum deposit, and accumulate a set amount of points. Unfortunately, if you do this you will
lose your rakeback offer where you will receive a significant portion of your
rake (the money the poker room removes from every pot, as a fee, for hosting the game) back to you!
Before you check them out you should check whether the software is permitted at your online casino. Here is a list of permitted third-party software at PokerStars (Holdem Helpem is permitted). You should also be aware of the advantages poker software can offer you:
- Mathematical
- Based solely on mathematics and probability theory you can calculate your draw odds, pot odds, odds to win, odds your opponents have a better hand, etc. Most if not all calculators use a monte carlo method where games of chance are simulated thousands of times, an exhaustive approach is just not feasible in Texas Holdem. An exhaustive analysis of all of the match ups in Texas Holdem of a player against nine opponents requires evaluating each possible board for each distinct starting hand against each possible combination of hands held by nine opponents, which is more than 21 octillian combinations, even if you could evaluate one trillion combinations every second it would take more than 670 million years! Good luck trying to figure out your odds of winning without the aid of a poker calculator.
- Self Analysis
- This allows you to improve your game by reviewing hands you have played and finding any trends or weaknesses in your plays.
- Opponent Profiling
- Poker Calculators can monitor the behavior of opponents, you can use this information to try and exploit their weaknesses. You can gain a tremendous amount of insight into the type of opponent you are up against such as how tight and aggressive a player is using a poker calculator. Most professionals agree tight-aggressive is the best strategy. This means you play few hands (tight) but when you do play you are very aggressive. The opposite would be loose-passive where you play many hands and fold and check too much. A poker calculator can spot the strong and weak opponents for you. Good luck trying to profile and keep track of all your opponents at once without the aid of a poker calculator.
- Black Hat Profiling
- Black Hat Profiling is the same as Opponent Profiling except this method consists of storing as many players' behavior as possible including you into a central database where anyone can connect and view. You can use this database against an opponent without ever have played against or seen them play. This type of opponent profiling is not recommended and can get you banned from poker rooms.
