Card Player Says Poker Academy's Poker Analysis Software a "Powerful, Must-Have"

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- Poker Academy, the leading developer of Texas Holdem poker software, today announced that its newly released next-generation poker analysis tool, Poker Academy Prospector, recently received a highly favorable write up in Card Player, which has been covering poker for 20 years. Staff writer Bob Pajich said that Prospector is a "powerful, must-have, which gives players a full view of their game."

Sage advice by Pajich on the merits of performing poker analysis include: "To play poker at the highest levels, players need to understand the way they're playing as clearly as possible. Extreme self-honesty is required, but hubris often gets in the way and clouds the ability of people to completely remove the ego and face the facts. Poker is truly a psychological battle, and battling the self is one of the toughest things to do. It can be hard to pinpoint leaks and it's also easy to fool ourselves into thinking that luck is the only reason our game is suffering."

Enter Poker Academy Prospector's poker analysis software.

Highlights of Poker Analysis Write-up

1.    Poker Stats Unleashed: A fantastic piece of poker analysis software that is a must-have for any online player who is trying to get better. Many different features packed into this easy-to-use suite help give players a better understanding of their game by taking the player's actual hand histories from online sites they use to generate reports about the player's game.

2.    Fast Importing: Allows players to take thousands of hand histories and instantly create a portrait of their game. Prospector takes all those abstract poker concepts players apply to the game and provides visual evidence, showing whether those concepts are working.

3.    Pin Point Leaks: Because Poker Academy's software developers packed so many features into Prospector, a player can take a hard look at just about any facet of their game to find out exactly where the leaks are.

4.    Easy to Use and Extremely Intuitive. This means that the features players are looking for while using it are usually where they feel like they should be. This poker analysis software is able to generate a cornucopia of charts, reports, spreadsheets, comparisons, and statistics, and the designers did a fantastic job of making the software fun and easy to use.

5.    Extremely Helpful. When players first fire up Poker Academy Prospector, the software automatically scans the computer for all recorded instances of hand histories. Players must do this in order for the software to work. It takes seconds to import the information, and it will continue to automatically do so every five minutes (a factory setting, which is completely adjustable) as long as the software is open.

6.    Real-time Tracking: Players can actually watch and measure how they're playing while they are in the middle of it. For example, say a player loses a nice-sized pot in a ring game and wants to see just how it went down. Prospector allows the user to take that hand, pull open a hand replayer, and watch how it happened. And then it allows the user to take that situation and see just how it played out the dozens of other times it happened.

7.    Performance Reporting. The poker analysis software in Prospector also generates reports using the collected hand information. Reports are available in 11 different categories: positional awareness, stealing, defending the blinds, pocket pairs, connectors, continuation bets, and so on. These reports generate nice summaries about position and the action used when playing certain hands, but with one click, the software generates a chart showing exactly how much profit or loss was caused by playing, say, off-suit connectors in a six-handed no-limit hold'em game.

8.    Track Your Bankroll. It's through these charts and reports that players will rediscover their game. It's sobering to see just how much money is lost in certain preventable situations, but it's also exciting to recognize a leak. Once spotted, measures could go toward repairing it.

9.    Opponent Tracking. The software also keeps track of the actual opponents players faced so users can see exactly who they won or lost the most money from, and then they can view the hands to see how it happened.

10.    Summary: Poker Academy Prospector is simply a powerful poker analysis tool that any online poker player would find useful. The information that will be gained from this software by discerning poker players will quickly erase the $59 price tag.

"Pajich is a seasoned writer at Card Player, and we appreciate his discerning eye," said Kurt Lange, CEO of Poker Academy. "Prospector as a stand-alone tool is a powerful asset for analyzing your game, but I would encourage you to combine it with our software trainer Pro. Once you identify your problems areas with Prospector, use Pro to help correct them, and you'll really start to see a difference in your profits."

Many security cameras do not record well in the dark. This implies that a slinky presence can get away with any deed as long as the dark provides a shield. This is where a security camera with motion sensor comes in. The motion sensor triggers an automatic response as soon as it picks up a movement in its vicinity. Some of these cameras come equipped with floodlights that power up as soon as a motion is registered, flooding the area with light and catching the culprit in the act. This is further enhanced by the fact that a security camera with motion sensor often offers a connection to a TV or computer monitor. As soon as the sensor is triggered, images of the perimeter can be captured immediately.
