Professional poker players are constantly evaluating their game and that of their opponents. The best software for this is PokerTracker. Poker tracker will record every hand of poker that you play online and arrange them into a neat easy to use database to show you exactly how you are playing and, more importantly, how your opponents are playing. If the pros are using it you should too. So how does it work?
Detailed histories of all the hands that you play online are automatically stored on your hard drive by the poker rooms. PokerTracker will take those histories and import them into an easy-to-use database so you can compile statistics, which you can then analyze to help you play a better, more winning, hand of poker.
The software also lets you see your opponents strengths and weaknesses so you take advantage of the flaws in their game. Since PokerTracker is such a great tool for record keeping, you will know how many hands you have played, for how many hours, how many you have won and lost, give you a rate per hour of your play, and whether you have a net profit or loss to show for all that. It actually does more than that, too, but the statistical capabilities of the software is what makes it such an essential tool for the serious poker player.
The software will let you look at how aggressively or passively you play your hands and how loose or tight is the play. Again, you will get all this information on your opponents as well. It will zero in on those times you get too relaxed with your beginning play and when you start playing too many hands. This is one area that you probably have not looked into yet, and PokerTracker finds it and brings it to your attention immediately. It will also keep stats on your checkraises, showdown wins, how often you go to showdown and a number of other vital statistics of your game.
With this software you can look at and judge the performance of every type of starting hand that you have played. These hands can then be sorted by position so you can see the places where you are making money and those where you are losing. Obviously, you want to cut out the losing hands and play only the winners making you a more profitable (and more formidable) poker player. If you cannot look at a history tracking the hands you have played in what position, you also cannot tell which hands are making you money and which ones are costing you. Most of us remember the outstanding winners and the big losers, but it is the not so memorable hands in between that separate the professional poker player from the amateur. Don't be an amateur.
