The last few weeks I've had one thing on my mind: can poker software programs really let me play great poker? How much would I improve? Could you say that in dollars/hour? I will answer these questions in this pokeroffice review.
I began searching for excellent software. I wanted the best tool I could find with the best possible reputation. Then a poker friend suggested 'PokerOffice', he talked about how this tool has been around for some time and about it's excellent reputation in the world of online poker.
I was completely settled for a night of online poker with pokeroffice at my side. Naturally pokeroffice calculates basic stats like your outs and odds, but so does any other good poker software program.
Then I started understanding why everyone is talking about this software. As the game progresses this program actually 'watches' your adversaries and records all their actions. After some time pokeroffice will have completely 'mapped' your adversaries. Based on these findings pokeroffice will tell you if your opponent is a loose or tight player. It will also show you how much dollars/hour this opponent is making or losing. Based on all this information, poker office will suggest you to check,raise or fold.
After playing for some time I could see my game database getting bigger, yes pokeroffice will store all your games. You're able to see where you won and lost the most money and start analyzing you're play. There is also a hand replayer which will allow you to replay specific sessions or entire tournaments.
Another thing I really like about pokeroffice is that it shows you the hands your adversaries mucked after a showdown. Not many people know this but, you as a player actually have the right to see these mucked hands, this is exactly the same in a real casino. Pokeroffice will get these from the hand histories and show them to you.
While I was playing with pokeroffice I noticed lots of these 'small' things that make the program really useful. You can play at many tables simultaneously, you can filter your hands, it shows things like stealing, blind defense and so on.
I have to say I saw an increase in my poker earnings. The program also learned me some stuff and let me 'think' like a professional poker player does: what are my outs and odds? What's the style of my opponents? In the end PokerOffice did make me a better poker player online and offline.
