Poker isn’t just a game, it is an industry. There are television shows around it, books written about it, magazines dedicated to it, and a litany of products that are related to it. I have the benefit of not only being a player, but being involved on the side “written word” side of the game. This not only means that I make a living dispensing my view of the game and how it should be played, but I also get a crack at a number of products available. Odds calculators are becoming bigger and bigger business. Some of them are not worth the space the take up on a player’s hard drive and some are pretty good. Like anything else, though, there has to be a “best”, and Pokerbility is light years ahead of any of the other calculators on the market today.
Pokerbility will have its most immediate and dramatic impact on those who are new to the game of Texas Hold’em. As we all know, there is so much more to the game than a full house beating two-pair. Pokerbility will not only advise the new player about what to do, but the display shows the calculations that support the decision. So the newbie will also know why the Pokerbility unit if dispensing a particular piece of advice. In the long run, using Pokerbility will teach new players how to be good poker players.
Just because this product is best for the beginner does not mean that they are the only ones who will find value in it. There are some rather tricky areas of the game of Hold’em that even intermediate players have trouble with as well as seasoned vets. Starting hands is where much of the money in Hold’em is won and lost. Journeymen players may occasionally find themselves confounded by this aspect of the game (especially when they have spent several hands getting unplayable cards, and are just itching to get into the game). Pokerbility will help root a competitor and keep them on an even keel. Following the advice that is given will eventually help any player survive a drought and keep them playing smart poker until the cards get better.
Pokerbility’s advice is excellent, but not infallible. It is based on cold, calculating mathematics, and the human factor has not been factored in to its calculations. Pokerbility’s advice can be ignored when your experience at a particular table in cyberspace tells you that you have the game won, even if the advice Pokerbility is giving you says different. This is also not the best tool to use when playing multiple tables. The unit can only attach to one game at a time. Outside of that though, Pokerbility is a highly impressive product.
Overall, this product is good for anyone who wants to win at poker. The advice is fast and accurate. The tool can also be tailored to fit various styles of play. The versatility is just the capper on a very good odds calculator.

First of all, I have been playing poker for years and didn’t think that an odds calculator could do me any good. That was the sort of thing that beginners used. I was urged by one of my friends to try Pokerbility. She said that it would help me with some of the weaknesses in my game. My first reaction was (typically) “what weaknesses?” After I got over being terminally offended by the idea that my game could use some help, I downloaded Pokerbility and gave the product a shot. She was right. Not only did it help me identify a glaring hole in my game, but went a long way to putting me right.
Most of us who have been playing for a while have a pretty good handle on the game and know the dos and don’ts of Texas Hold’em. In my particular case, I would foul myself up when it came to starting hands. I know what to do, but when I was dealt a pair of hole cards that was on the edge of acceptable, my poker logic would short circuit and I would play them. This would result in the occasional impressive victory, but more often than not I would wind up chasing a hand that I rarely caught up to.
Pokerbility would help me to know what starting hands to play. When I felt myself tempted to play something that could go either way, I could look at the Pokerbility unit and see what my chances of victory were from a mathematical standpoint. This would be the splash of cold water I needed to center me and ensure that I put down my cards instead of spending money to see a flop that probably would not go my way.
Once I got over my ego, I found that Pokerbility is not just something for the newbies. Even the most optimistic spirit can be brought back down to earth when the reality of hard numbers shows you exactly how long of a shot your hole cards really are.
On the flip side of things, there are those times when your cards are on the edge, and you are not sure if what is in the pot is worth taking a chance on. Instead of racking my brains trying to find the answer, I get instant gratification by looking over at Pokerbility. It has done the math for me, calculated my chances of victory, and made the tough decisions easier. In short Pokerbility has made me a much better player by not only helping temper the hold’em daredevil in me and keep my feet on ground, but also by making the decision making process faster. Pokerbility paid for itself within the first couple of hours after I purchased the full version. It is now an indispensable tool.

It is difficult to remember the days before the internet existed, and what exactly life was like back then. In that long ago time though, I was just one more guy trapped in his cubicle hoping the radiation from my computer wasn’t giving me cancer. Back then my poker playing was also limited to the Friday night game with the rest of the engineers from my department. I was always very good when it came to the game of Hold’em, but the internet opened up a whole new avenue for me. Playing in cyberspace allowed me to go pro. Where else could I play poker for eight hours a day and make more than engineer’s wages?
Playing professionally has also expanded my circle of friends. Most of our conversation is about poker, and, of course, we talk about the products available on the market. A lot of the folks who do this as their main occupation were opposed to Pokerbility. The only reason that I could really squeak out of them fell under the heading of “Silly Man Logic”. They wanted to win, but they didn’t want any help. After trying Pokerbility my opinion was completely different.
If one is a professional plumber, there are a whole range of tools that come along with vocation. I have yet to meet the professional mechanic who has tried to replace a fuel injector with his bare hands. I am floored by poker players who shun the best available tools because of some misguided concept that they have to win on their own. I don’t understand them, but I will happily play online against them with my Pokerbility unit giving me the edge.
Pokerbility gave me the edge when I realized that there are tells online. You may not be able to see somebody’s face, but the time it takes somebody to respond is often a good indication of what they are holding. Using Pokerbility allows my decisions to be almost instant. My opponents cannot link my response time to what I holding. This also gives me some very potent bluff options. Pokerbility may instantly tell me to raise, but if I hold off a bit, perhaps taking all the allotted time, it looks as if I am agonizing over the decision. My opponents will bite on my bluff and just feed a pot that I am almost a lock to win.
Following the advice of Pokerbility has allowed me to make more money playing poker online than working in my old cube. The hard numbers are at my fingertips, and I know exactly what the chances of victory are for every hand I am dealt. The Pokerbility tool can also be adjusted to tailor its advice to certain styles of play. Seeing as no two tables play alike, this can be handy when the landscape changes.
Poker is about winning pots, not about finding out who the superior athlete is. If you want to play better Hold’em online, get the best available tools. Pokerbility has been the most indispensable device in my toolbox.
