    Other Poker Tools
    A lot of new and creative Poker Tools have come out to the market, tools that track the actions of online players so you know what type of player you're up against, database tools that can help you analyze your own hands and leaks, videos and documentary of professionals playing so you can get insights into their thought processes, heads up displays providing stat's and odds while you play online, and even more. Check out some of the more popular Poker Tools and training tools listed below:



    SitnGo Wizard: SNGWIZ will teach you how to play a near perfect late game strategy. You will learn when to push and when to fold. You will learn the importance of various factors such as number of opponents, stack sizes, and opponent calling ranges. If you are a beginning player or just new to SitNGo tournaments, the SitnGo Wizard will quickly turn you in a winning player at the low limit SitNGo’s. If you are already an experienced SitNGo player, the SitnGo Wizard will help you find and eliminate costly mistakes that you don’t even realize you are making.

    Poker Tracker: This is probably the most popular software tool to analyze your online poker hand histories and learn about how you play and how your opponents play. Poker Tracker is recommended by FTR as a must tool to find leaks in your game - are you calling from the blinds too much? Are you losing too much money on certain mediocre hands? Are you playing well in certain positions and poorly in others? Poker Tracker can help you answer these questions, and ultimately make you a better poker player.

    Poker Edge: PokerEdge uses an entirely new principle. Poker Edge provides you access to a massive database of player stats to use at your own convenience. This database has been built up using a large number of computers collecting player stats 24 hours a day. The best part is that it is constantly growing to accommodate new players, refine older players, and it is updated daily! As a member, run the Poker Edge software while you play, and have access to all the player stats in our database.

    Poker Office: This online poker tool allows you to track all of your opponents actions as well as your own game, while you are playing, without any need for hand histories or user input.

In addition, PokerOffice comes with a Live Advisor Window that displays real time opponent modeling of the players you are currently facing, real time probabilities of future hands, hand rankings, Pot Odds and live graphs and statistics.

    Poker Sherlock: This is an online poker assistant, tracking your hold'em poker tables and opponents for you while providing up-to-the-minute statistics as you play online. Poker Sherlock highlights crucial information of your opponents such as VP$IP, Pre-Flop Raises, Aggression and much much more. Poker Sherlock offers an easy to understand "dashboard" interface, integrated HUD display (for heads up display) on most supported sites, highlights "fishes" and "sharks" with user-friendly pictures behind player stats, among many other great features. And unlike Poker Tracker, Poker Sherlock stores all game information on a central database so there's no need for you to mine data and build up your own set of statistics from scratch.

    Texas Calculatem: This is an online poker assistant that watches while you play, offering instant poker odds and advice throughout the Texas Holdem game, and gives you a considerable edge in the fast-paced environment of online poker. Texas Calculatem's intuitive interface shows you your exact situation at a glance. The table, advice bar, and poker odds chart give you just enough information without being too overwhelming. A novice may choose to simply follow the advice given. More experienced Texas Holdem users will find the additional info, including odds of making certain hands, odds of one of your opponents making certain hands, # outs, pre-flop hand strength & Sklansky score, very useful.

    CalculatemPro: From the makers of the hottest selling poker Odds Calculator comes CalculatemPro - the most powerful Texas Holdem Odds Calculator on the market. CalculatemPro has revolutionized the world of Texas Holdem poker calculators with its superior features and precise customization. It uses the latest, most sophisticated technology and algorithms to instantly calculate hand AND pot odds - bringing you the most accurate advice in a sleek, easy-to-use interface.

    SNG Shark: After months of work, poker pro Roy Rounder was able to compile thousands of his sage-like Texas Holdem tips into an online poker Odds Calculator designed to help players finish in the money in Sit & Go tournaments. SNG Shark considers 7 different variables or "critical success factors" on every hand to offer the player real-time betting advice based on Roy Rounder's personal poker playbook. Shark works exclusively in sit and go tournaments and makes it easy for players to finish in the money. If you're not the shark, you're shark bait - so take a look at SNG Shark!

    Smart Buddy: Smart Buddy lets you see who is online and what tables they are playing on! The poker buddy list works across multiple poker sites at the same time so you don't have to jump around from site to site.

    Expert Insight: Phil Gordon's Final Table Poker DVD has become very popular quickly. Although I'm not sure how much improvement you can get out of one DVD, players are praising this tutorial. From Phil Gordon himself - "Have you ever watched one of the televised poker tournaments and wondered what the players were thinking? Why they made a certain play? Why they folded? Why they bluffed? If so, this is the perfect DVD for you. Get inside my mind and listen in on my thought process as I play at a final table against Chris Ferguson and other world-class players. You'll experience the excitement and pressure of playing on television. Most importantly, you'll see and hear how I make winning decisions in No Limit Texas Hold'em tournaments."
