Using PokerStove In Online Poker Sit And Go Tournaments

PokerStove is a utility program that calculates equity by running simulations of hand ranges. PokerStove is the best free Poker Software in my opinion. Its incredibly useful, and if used properly it will bring your poker game to the next level.

Poker is a game of incomplete information and your level of success depends in part on how you analyze this information. In most situations, you will have to make an educated guess of what hands your opponents might hold. You will rarely be able to identify your opponent’s exact hand, with certainty. Often in poker making the correct decision depends on assigning a range of hands to your opponent and then deciding what move to make. This can be very difficult to do; Pokerstove can help with this and in many other ways. In simple terms it can help you decide how much your hand is worth versus these ranges (hand equity). It is a much more accurate and useful way to calculate odds and equity in situations where you have incomplete or no information about your opponents hand.

PokerStove can be used many different ways:

1. To analyze preflop hands in texas holdem heads up, for example:

AA vs. KK : 0.819461 vs. 0.180539

This means AA will win or tie approximately 81.9% of the time vs KK in texas holdem if all 5 community cards are dealt.

You can view the 14,196 preflop equity matchups at the PokerStove Website.

2. To analyze 3rd street rankings for all stud/8 hands.

3. Whether to Jam or Fold for All-In sit and go situations.

4. To analyze your late game hand histories, to help with future decision making.

5. When to play suited connectors.

And many more, to get the most out of it, you need to take the information PokerStove gives you and apply it to the situation to make the best poker decision. This is very difficult and can only be mastered by a lot of practice and research.
