Can anyone recomend poker software that i can use for tournaments?
Ive downloaded Poker tracker and poker ace hud and find it too complicated too work. So can you tell me the best ones other than that to use for tournaments.

Thanks in advance. RJB7

Poker Office has similar functionality. I haven't tried it but have heard it recommended by others. I use Poker Tracker.

I've heard PO is simpler but I've also heard it's a lot worse. Just buy poker tracker and post in their forums when you have a problem. They're extremely helpful and you'll get over the initial learning hump in a quick minute.

I think if you are serious about poker then you should really take a bit of time to learn the ropes, at least about poker tracker which is one of the more essential tools for online poker. If you are committed enough to poker to be a winning player, you can certainly learn how to use PT quickly.

After seeing the demo i was of the same opinion, and kinda still am about Poker Tracker.

Chuck, is it really that easy to learn? even if your a bit of a novice at IT?

Casue you must admit, if you dont use PT the details do look pretty full on.

Oh, oops. Tournaments? Bleh.

I was a novice when I first bought it.

All it takes is a little research and practice. Poker Tracker's site provides everything including customer support if you're completely lost. You're just lazy imo if you can't get PT (or HEM) to work.

Volunterly put chips in pot.

Sorry to be a pest but im just trying to familiarise myslef with the stats. Can you tell me what the aggression factor is out of e.g if someones AF is 2 is ht 2/10 2/5 or what ?

#16 16th September 2008, 12:42 AM

AF is a ratio, it's not a fraction or whatever. It's significance changes with vpip (ie an AF of 2 is way more aggressive for someone with a 60 vpip than it is for someone with a 10 vpip), but generally the higher it is, the more aggressive they are.

Thanks chuck and sindri for helping me out.
I dont belive how helpful this tool is now ive got it working. You dont realise until you have it what youve been missing. A must buy for anyone imo

what kind of poker software? software to like give you probability odds or something? isn't that kind of cheating?

#19 16th September 2008, 3:21 AM

Not cheating at all... all good online players use them, and they're actually for tracking opponent's plays (as well as your own) to identify play styles and weaknesses (in both opponents and yourself).
