Poker Software

This is a snapshot of the toolbox online poker players were building for themselves in the middle of the last decade, and it is a more interesting document now than it was then. The list divides cleanly into three kinds of program: trainers that let you play against a machine, calculators that tell you the odds while a hand is live, and trackers that read your own hand histories back to you afterwards.

The third kind mattered most and still does. A tracker does not make decisions for you; it shows you which of your decisions you keep repeating, which is information no amount of play provides on its own. The calculators in this list were the ones that caused arguments, because a program feeding you odds at the table sits very close to the line most rooms draw, and the bot at the end of the list sits well over it.

Much of this software is no longer sold and some of it will not run on a current machine. The entries stay because the categories have not changed even slightly, and because knowing what players wanted from a computer in 2005 explains a good deal about what they want from one now.
