The 3 Best Online Poker Tools For Cash-game Players

“On the seventh day god rested… And on the eighth day god proclaimed cash-games the most profitable form of poker… ”

Alright, that isn’t in the book of Genesis, but it should be! Cash games are an interesting prospect for poker players: you play with opponents longer and more frequently; the stakes never change; and unlike a tournament the first hand is just as important -and therefore profitable– as the last hand.

With this in mind, cash-game players have a different set of concerns than tournament players, so without further adieu, here are the top 3 tools for cash-game players and how they will impact your bottom line results.

Poker Tracker

Poker Tracker is one of the original tools for online poker players; and thanks to the company’s commitment to continually improve their product, Pokertracker is as relevant now as when they first came on the market.

In a nutshell, Pokertracker stores your hand histories and filters your statistics in every conceivable category for quick perusal, and to help plug leaks in your game. Perhaps more importantly, PT does the same for your opponents’ stats, thereby keeping meticulous notes for you!

There are many versions of Pokertracker: Hold’ Em, Omaha, and Stud, and each needs to be purchased separately (or combined as a bundle). The latest version of Pokertracker for Hold’ Em -PT3-has a $90 price-tag: Both the Omaha and Stud versions cost $55 each.

Poker Stove

Poker Stove is a hand analysis calculator that allows players to run various scenarios and see the outcome after millions of hand simulations. The beauty of Poker Stove is its ability to run either specific hand-vs-hand match-ups or hand ranges.

Poker Stove is one of the best learning tools a player can use to get the “math” of the game down, and also gives players the chance to use hindsight and take a look at marginal situations, or hands where they are uncertain if they made the correct play or not.

Oh, did I mention Poker Stove is absolutely FREE! That’s right, simply got to their website, download the software, and start using Poker Stove to improve your poker game.

Holdem Indicator

Holdem Indicator is a cross between Pokertracker and Poker Stove: What Holdem Indicator offers its users is all the pertinent features of Pokertracker, coupled with a Poker Stove type calculator on steroids.

The tracking done by Holdem indicator is useful, but where the software really takes charge is in its analysis of the situation. By calculating winning %, pot odds, position, and more Holdem Indicator shows the EV of each situation. The software has many other minor, but useful, features as well, and is really one of the best tools on the market -although it doesn’t get the publicity it deserves.

With an $80 price-tag Holdem Indicator is competitively priced in the market.
