Poker Office Review
When it comes to Texas Holdem tools Poker Office is one of, if not the best available on the market. In 2009 it was awarded the tag of “Best Online Poker Software” by the judges at the Online Poker Awards.
Aside from providing real time hand odds, Poker Office provides real time stats for you and all of your opponents at the table. You can customise which stats you want to see, and Poker Office will display them for each and every player at the table, while you’re playing, which is where you need them most. You’ll have the ability to see; how many hands a player is voluntarily playing, how many times they raise, how many times they fold to a continuation bet, amongst countless other options.
The other great strength Poker Office has is its superior hand replay and analysis features. Poker Office allows you to replay certain hands or complete sessions in its custom hand replayer. Poker Office also will also create profit and loss graphs, track which hands you win and lose with, track which table positions you make money from; practically every need you can think of when it comes to post play analysis.
Features
Real Time Game Tracking
Pot odds, percentages, hand rankings; Poker Office will give you live odds and rankings for your hand in game as its happening, so you’ll always know your chances at anytime, without having to do nasty calculations in your head. The live tracker will also provide real time opponent statistics, so you can see how many hands your opponents have played, whether they’re winning or losing and loads of other features.
Overlaying Heads Up Display (HUD)
Poker Office will provide the statistics of your choice live whilst you play. The heads up tracking display overlays each table you have up, providing stats for each individual player next to their avatar. Poker Office also displays opponent modelling (the settings for which are customisable), so you can see which opponents are tight-aggressive, loose, passive, etc. Knowing which opponents to isolate and which ones to avoid could be the difference between you winning or losing at the tables.
Other HUD features include; shows player actions for the current hand, future hand possibilities (shows your playable drawing options), multiple statistic profiles – have one set of statistics show for ring games, and another for tournaments.
Advanced Hand Replay Options
The advanced hand replayer allows you to revisit your hands or entire game sessions. You can play and pause hands, skip backwards or forwards between hands or certain parts of the one hand. The replayer is loaded with the same heads up display stats that you would have seen at the time you were playing the hand. Watching a video style replay of your hand like this is one of the best ways to improve your game.
Other features; shows drawing odds, outs, pot odds, best hand, and pot size for the hand being replayed. You can also switch the view so that you can see the odds that an opponent had at any stage in the hand.
Graphical Results
Use advanced graphs to analyse your play post game. Poker Office can display graphs on numerous factors, from profit/loss to % of times you saw the flop. You can even run multiple graphs at the same time, to view any correlations between the way you play hands and whether you win or lose. This is a fantastic way to find leaks in your game. Advanced filtering options means you can be as specific or as general as you want with what you display at any one time. You can even select certain parts of your graph/s and kickstart the hand replayer for that area, to analyse specific sections of play where you may have won or lost, etc.
In Depth Game Statistics
View the most in depth tracking statistics available. You can see a hand chart showing you which hands you have made a profit from or view position tables to find out what seats at the table are the most profitable for you. You can filter results down to view your statistics at different levels of play (i.e just view results for .05c/.10c ring games, or another game type, or combine them all for your overall statistics). Find out which draws you’re losing money on, or what hands you’re playing too much through your statistic tables and graphs, to eliminate mistakes from your game.
