The Poker Resources category of this site will help with the additional tools and resources that can aid you in your online poker adventures.
Firstly theres a few picks that I can recommend. We will develop Poker Resources a lot more in time to come.
Poker Software
Dave O'Brien's Smoke'em Poker
A review on the net gave Smoke'em Poker five out of five stars. It's rare to find a downloadable game that is this enjoyable, addictive, hilarious (e.g. sounds), and free. Its available in Windows format at the moment and is self made. I like this for fun and testing. You could also play as a guest player at www.crazyvegaspoker.com
IRC Poker Resources
To get started, read the FAQ (frequently asked questions) for rec.gambling.poker which explains the concept of IRC as a real-time network poker game that is played for free. We have included an IRC poker client on the site. Find our irc bot download here.
Poker Tracker
A Windows based computer program that allows you to analyze your on-line Texas Hold'Em play. Poker Tracker stores and summarizes hand history data that can be downloaded from your poker site. This is handy. On Microgamings Playcheck all your history hands can be viewed and then analysed. From this you may adjust your play to win. This is a highly recommended software.
Pokenum - Poker Hand Analyzer
This is a good tool for determining hand strength for Holdem, Stud, and Lowball. This program simulates many hands so that you can determine the win % of your hand vs. other hands. A solid feature is you can add cards to the board, and see how your hand strength changes relative to others, as the board progresses. Very Cool. Plus, it's open source code so you can help make it better should you have the skills to do so.
I must admit of all the poker resources and kits you can use, the best is your brain and attitude. Lets have a look at poker pyschology:
"When two players of equal ability enter the poker arena one shall surely have an advantage over the other. The player with the best mental preparadness shall win the battle. Sports coaches have hired many psycologists to help resources with the mental aspects of the game. They have used methods to enhance their performance. As in sports poker resources is a mental game in which you can take your game to the next level. In the heat of a poker game making the correct decisions under stress it seperate's the great players from average players. Poker requires players to make one correct play then reanalyze and make another play and so forth till each hand is over."
Your mindset is very important for this game. Poker Resources shall try to help you become the best poker player you can be.
