Poker Edge

Ah, the big question on everyone's mind. Poker Edge differs from the rest of the field in terms of how much the program costs, because it goes on a subscription rate.

The website justifies the cost by noting that winning one extra hand through the use of this program would offset the cost of a one-month subscription; which is more or less true.

This would be equivalent to 6 months of using the low-limit version of Poker Edge or 3 months with the high-limit version.

So, with prices like these, Poker Edge is definitely a premium service made for serious limit players about getting every possible advantage over their opponents.

However, after contacting the authors of Poker Edge, they have agreed to offer a large discount on subscriptions through this site, which makes it an excellent buy for any limit players.

For the serious limit player, Poker Edge is unquestionably a good investment in the big picture of things. The ability to break down your opponents into quantitative pieces especially in low-limit games is really an amazing ability.

Here are some practical examples of what Poker Edge stats could do:. Example 1 : You've got top pair, top kicker and are in a pot with a few players.

You bet on the flop and get one caller, PlayerX. The turn brings 3 of a suit on the table, representing a possible flush. You bet the turn and get raised by PlayerX.

The writing is on the wall - he has the nut flush here. You easily muck your hand and save calling a big bet on the turn and the river. Example 2 : You've got top pair, top kicker and are in a pot with a few players again.

You bet on the flop and get one caller, PlayerY. The turn is a rag and you bet again, but are raised by PlayerY.

This tells you that PlayerY does a lot of bluffing or semi-bluffing, so you are not necessarily behind right now.

You call the raise and then check when the river comes. PlayerY checks behind you and you see that he had a busted straight draw, giving you the pot.

These are examples of very clear, cut-and-dry situations of how the stats may be applied. With more experience, you can probably derive more information from it or get comfortable with stats that are a bit more borderline when making a tough play.

As their site says, Poker Edge will eventually pay for itself with a subscription if you use it correctly. That said, there are still some points about the program that can hamper your ability to use it effectively - especially for the more experienced online players.

There are a number of drawbacks for serious players when using Poker Edge. Even if you don't use player notes, it still takes some time just to enter in a Player ID and check up on a players stat when the time is on you.

While Poker Edge does give you the ability to recall the stats of a recently searched player, it is only effective if you can instantly recall any one of the players at your tables - which could grow to be a rather big list.

Otherwise, you're still typing in player names by hand. Update: These issues have been addressed in the updated version of Poker Edge. Now, there is a feature to automatically bring up all the player at each table and color code them as a 'fish' or 'shark', giving you a fast an easy way to determine who you are playing against.
