Hold Em Authority - Texas Hold Em Strategy and advice for all levels of players

If there are some of you out there that still believe hold ‘em is all about the cards, why don’t you read this post on the anatomy of a hand written by delaRaine on PocketFives.If that post alone doesn’t help you improve your game, here are a couple things that just might improve your game:

PokerTracker - PokerTracker gives you the ability to keep track of every hand you play at every table on every site. This is not only good for record keeping, but can be good to get information on you and your opponent. Here is a solid review/tutorial of the program, courtesy of Poker Source Online. I might add that one of my favorite statistics to look at is the % of the time seeing a flop. I think that tells a lot about the style of play a certain player chooses to employ at the table.

Poker Stove - a hand analyzer that can be downloaded, giving quicker access to a player who is wondering what % of the time AA beats QJ on a 9 10 J flop. Just open the program up and keep it open. I get tired of keeping a website open for extended periods of time, and it’s a chore sifting through all my bookmarks, so this keeps it simple for me. It’s also free, which can’t be a bad thing, right?

There are plenty more tools out there, but I don’t want to overload you right away - I’ll be posting more helpful poker tools periodically, so keep checking back to see how you can elevate your game.
