   • I want to start this thread so that we can discuss software that we are using.

     I use the following. You can google any of these to learn more.

     1. PokerPad: To play with keyboard and ease the pain on my wrist.

     2. PokerTracker: To track my hands and winnings.

     3. PokerEV; To check if I am putting in my money with good equity (needs PokerTracker)

     4. SNG Wizard: To analyze the effect of push versus fold in bubble situations.

     5. RealTime HUD: To display the stats of opponents in real time.

   • Great post, Krishna! I have a list of tools to look up, but this is a super-set of that list, so now I'm gonna use this :)

     SharkScope is good for looking up how bad your opponents are, especially for sit-n-gos.

   • Thanks for the links.
     If anyone is buying PokerTracker wait until version 3 is released.
     I think even if you buy now they will ive you PT3 for free.
     But t is better to just wait few days.

     I need to upgrade to PT3 this month. I will get some discount but will need to shell out few bucks.

   • Good to know. I was going to get on that relatively soon. Now I can procrastinate a bit more :)

   • All the software are essential if you are serious about playing online.

     Jason - Poker Tracker 3 is out. It has integrated HUD.
     I installed trail version and it looks good.

   • My first post has some details of the purpose for each software.
     The descriptions are very brief so ping me if you need more explanation.

    • do you use poker stove?

11. • Posted by Krishna 2008-05-30 21:26:00

    • Not very much.
      It is used for computing equity against a range of hands.
      Useful for analysis after the fact.

    • how much do those other programs cost?

    • I use SScope to figure out which tourneys to enter. It's also good for cash games to just get a general sense as to whether someone might pose a threat or not.

      I also manually look up players on Poker-Edge.com to get a feel for their playing tendencies. It's been IMMENSELY helpful. Very often I know how to play a person on the very first hand after they sit down. If Poker-Edge.com says they're a "Maniac", I can generally call their out of position pre-flop raise with more modest hands like ATo and better. A "Maniac" is apt to raise from UTG with hands like JT, J9, K8s, etc. Hugely profitable as a result!

      Good luck!

    • Yeah SharkScope and Poker-Edge are great tools to use. I've checked them out, but don't play online seriously. I definitely recommend both for the reasons Ken just mentioned. If you have RSI problems like me, the keypad tool that Krishna suggested probably helps a lot, too :)
