Holdem Coach – a program for internet Holdem players

[MugWumpBW]

JokerPoker Software has developed a program, Holdem Coach, which has been designed to be used by Holdem Poker players while they are playing on the internet. The purpose of the program is twofold:

1. Holdem Coach computes the current value of the players hand at any point in the deal using the two hole cards and the community cards. This value represents the player's equity and provides a relative value of the player's hand against all other possible hands. In addition, the winning percentage against the probable set of hands that would remain after the betting rounds is calculated. These values may be used as a guide for making decisions during play.

2. Holdem Coach keeps lots of statistics for each session of play so the player can track his results over a period of time and get a realistic idea of progress made, differences playing on different sites or for different stakes, etc.

Unlike similar Holdem programs which run simulations to compute winning percentages, Holdem Coach has been designed to be lightweight, compact, and fast. The Holdem Coach window can reside on the screen simultaneously with the Poker Site window with no overlap (assuming a reasonable screen resolution setting). On an average computer, 100,000 simulations can be run in a couple of seconds which means that using Holdem Coach won't cause the player to play slowly which is very annoying to everyone else in the game.

Holdem Coach has been in a beta evaluation and enhancement mode for the past month and is almost ready for initial production release. The next month will be devoted to final evaluation and will provide a chance to incorporate user suggestions into the final product. If you would be interested in giving Holdem Coach a test drive visit http://members.nuvox.net/~on.billw/JokerPoker/ to get an evaluation copy and check out the full documentation.
