Okay! PokerEDGE SOUNDS Great, But Let's Take A Look Under The Hood To See What's Really Cookin'
 |
f we aren't the first web site you've visited looking for online poker tools,
then I'm sure you've come across some pretty outlandish claims posted
on those other poker web sites. Perhaps you've been the unfortunate
victim of their high prices, marginal functionality, and outright bogus
claims. It's an unfortunate fact of life. |
There are Texas Hold'em web sites out there that
simply do not deliver on their promises and still charge you an
astronomical fee!

So without further
adieu, let's get into the nuts and bolts of what makes PokerEDGE such a
ground-breaking tool for online poker players. So, what's the first
thing you should do when you start using PokerEDGE as your online poker
assistant? Use the power of PokerEDGE to 'go fishing.'
What I recommend is for you to join a handful of tables, go get
yourself a cup of coffee and come back to some analysis from PokerEDGE
to show you where the easiest money is.

Shepherd's
Hollow looks pretty good from these tables. You see 4 fish, and 4 mice.
You should be able to go in and dominate this table, and the mice
justify you playing more hands(such as drawing to flushes and
open-ended straights.) The point: PokerEDGE will enable you to PICK THE TABLE WHERE YOU CAN MAKE THE MOST MONEY FOR YOUR TIME. There is more explanation of the icons and how to play each opponent further down.

Scenario 1: You flop trips
You have Pocket 10's,
and there's only one other person in on the flop with you. The flop
comes 10 8 3. Now, the question is How do I get the most money out of my hand?
Well, if you have PokerEDGE to tell you about your opponent, this
decision is a whole lot easier. Let's take a look at two potential
opponents, and how this changes how your hand should be played. For
demonstration, we have put both the statistical and bar-graph versions
of the player analysis - You can choose whichever display you prefer
when you use PokerEDGE.

If you are
playing against ChattyCathy, you can see that the VP$IP is high, while
the aggression is low - this would be your typical calling station. You can also see that PokerEDGE has conveniently flagged this player as a calling station for easy visual identification!
Your best move is to bet into her. Her playing style shows that
she will likely call you down(He's seeing 37.5% of the rivers!), but
that she will not be aggressive enough to bet into you for the amount
you want to make off of your hand.
-- BUT --
If your opponent is
GM604, you can see that he is a much tighter player. VP$IP is lower,
and he is very aggressive. Here, your strategy would be to check-raise.
Why? Because GM604's playing history indicates that he will make a stab
for the pot. You can see the bomb next to his name, meaning he is
aggressive-aggressive. The red color of his name indicates his
tightness(see the VP$IP of 14%). Odds are, when he is in a pot he is
going to bet. When he does, you can go over the top and draw out more
money!
|
Scenario 2: Should you call the pre-flop raise?
You have A J off-suit
in late position, and there's a raise of 3x the blind. Everyone folds,
and the action is to you. Should you call, or just see some new cards?
Let's ask Edge:
|

|
|
If you are playing
against PTall, you can see that he raises over 18% of the time
pre-flop. A player that raises 18% of his hands pre-flop
is an extremely loose player (unless we are talking about very
shorthanded tables). You are likely in a good spot with your A J and
late position. Let's see that flop!
-- BUT --
If luckybenny is your
opponent, you can see that he raises pre-flop only 6% of the time, so
you can logically assume that a pre-flop raise represents a premium
hand, especially when bet from early position. Your A J off-suit is
likely an underdog, and we don't want to chase rabbits. Fold and move on.

I must say I will never play poker
online without PokerEDGE.
"I would like to thank you for PokerEDGE, I think this is one of the best tools an online poker player can have.
When I first started to use it, it was quite hard to
understand but as I gained experience and kept reading everything in
the members area, I began to understand it.
Well, this week I have been putting PokerEDGE to the test,
and I am more than pleased with the results, so far in 4 days I have
won over £1000.
I must say I will never play poker online without PokerEDGE."
