I know this is supposed to be a news-oriented blog, so I won\’t tell you about my disappointing finish in the $500 event at Foxwoods this weekend (I\’ll save that for the other site). Instead, I\’ll ask if any of you have heard of, or seen, or used this software or anything like it. Apparently it \”accompanies\” you on the poker site of your choosing and offers odds, hand calculations, and strategic decisions. The way it\’s described, the player barely has to do anything but point and click.
Sounds good if you\’re math impaired, but I wonder how well it works. And I\’m a bit skeptical about whether these sorts of programs can really assist you in defeating quality players. Not to mention: I can\’t imagine that PartyPoker or PokerStars or the rest would be all that thrilled with players having this kind of help/edge when they log-on.
