Practice Matters
Hold’em Manager 2 is the leader
Hold’em Manager 2 is the leader in the poker database industry. Poker databases are an online necessity for several reasons. Being able to track your results, review your play, and analyze your stats are a great way to grow as a poker player. Also being able to analyze your opponent’s play and make notes away from the game are a huge advantage when you play against them again. A short list of some of the poker software you should check out or own:
Poker database program
Poker database program I'd recommend Hold’em Manager, but try them all. Equity calculator. Mentioned in Chapter 2. There are many free ones out there. We'd recommend Ace Poker Drills since it's free. Poker database analysis program. It will make analyzing your stats and information much easier. Leak Buster has a free trial to check out. Hotkey program. It will make multi-tabling much easier with pre-defined bet sizing and time banking. Poker training applications. If you want to brush up on drills and things to improve then there are several applications out there like the Equity Trainer in Ace Poker Drills, and Ace Poker Coach. Tilt management application. Applications that will close down your client if you lose X amount of buy-ins. Handy if you want that extra protection and have difficulty quitting games.
