Poker Computer Software Part2
Author: admin
If you want an even more detailed critique of your play, you can use Wilson's add on program called Sidewinder Sid, After any number of hands you can click on the Analysis button and Sid will pop up and review your play. The Sidewinder Sid Analysis Program provides a detailed hand by hand review of any errors you may have committed during your play. Sidewinder Sid is a cartoon character that uses Microsoft Text-to-Speech Technology to come to life. You can receive a detailed review of each hand. You can also get an overall review of your play before the flop, after the flop, on the turn and on the river.
When you use Sidewinder Sid it is like having your own personal coach. This detailed analysis has helped me immensely in learning to make the correct playing decisions. I use Sid in conjunction with my daily Challenge Mike sessions. The program will also run high-speed simulations. Some of the results of these simulations appear elsewhere in this book.
Some players I talked to said they doubted that poker could be learned with a software program because in live poker you are playing against real people with unique personalities who play their hand differently. Turbo Texas Hold'em by Wilson Software showed me that this line of reasoning was outdated.
Wilson software solved this problem by programming profiles and traits in each of the virtual opponents you will face when playing. There are numerous sets of line-ups of players you can choose from to challenge. Some of these mirror aggressive, loose, low limit, moderate, or tight playing styles. You can even program your own opponents with the traits and playing style of anyone you might meet in the poker room. In a real game, players bet, call, raise, reraise, and fold based on the value of their hands, the cards showing on the table, and their playing style. The computer players in Wilson's software act like real players and do this as well.
Although you won't be able to pick up physical tells, you will be able to ascertain certain patterns in playing style and starting hand selection. Many players are starting to play live poker at various Internet Web sites. When playing on these sites, you don't have the opportunity to see your opponents. If you are experienced in detecting patterns from your computer practice, it may actually be an advantage if you do decide to play online.
The other point that is often brought up about learning from computer software is the fact that a player is not risking real money and may get into a habit of playing too many hands. I think an intelligent player who is determined to improve his game will not have this problem. While practicing, I have experimented with playing bad hands and certain hands out of position to find out the consequences of my action. If anything, it reinforces the reasoning for not playing this way.
