Hi guys, does anyone know if there is an option to show hand strenght on pokerstars, its on the play money tables but i cant find any option to turn it on for real play..

I presume you mean tell you what hand you've got e.g. High card ace. If you don't know your hand strength I'd suggest not playing for real money.

Wow cheers for the informative response dude, much appreciated! Why did you post such a pointless post? The reason i feel hand strenght indicator would be helpful is because i multitable omaha, as there is alot of cards in my face it would save a few seconds if i have the hand strenght on the screen like some other sites do, it would help to save me misclicking fold etc if there is two tables flashing in the background.

No, it's not possible to do that it would be to easy for multi tablers and absolutely pointless in real money mode (especially games like omaha) if you get told what your hand is, it would become way to robotic playing so many tables.

This feature was only implanted for using for new games in playmoney mode, so you can get a feel for all the different variants of poker so no it's isn't available.

That's not entirely true - - on some sites you can activate the feature 'show hand strength' on any tables (ie. 'ipoker')

I am not familiar with this option to show hand strength. What does it do? Tell me my 72o is in the bottom 10% of starting hands? Many sites have a descriptor showing that tells me I have a pair of x's, or straight, but I have not seen one that shows me any detail about what the relative strength of my hand is at any point before showdown. Does it tell me I have a 20% chance of filling my flush draw?

Is it dynamic? Does it change on the flop, the turn, the river?

Oh, yeah, I stopped playing at pokerstars cuz...well, they don't want me anymore.

I multi table PLO and OHL at Inter Poker on the Boss Network and they do show hand strength at all tables and I do find it useful specially on OHL tables when I have a lot of tables open.
I do not need to use it but I can't see the objection to using every aid I can get hold of and I really cant see how it is "absolutely pointless" but each to their own
