MORE SCHOOLING FOR ONLINE POKER PLAYERS
All the bells and whistles on this new Poker Academy software
Edmonton, Canada-based poker software developer Poker Academy, has released
Pro Texas Hold'em Version 2.5 - the first Texas Hold'em poker software
game and training tool that allows its users to create, simulate, and host online
multi-table tournaments of any structure.
Pro 2.5 also empowers users to analyse their game play from real world experiences
by now being able to import hand histories from popular online poker rooms, including
Party Poker, Poker Stars, and Paradise Poker.
“With poker tournaments the rage worldwide, for fun or for money, players
of any skill level need help training to win at casinos, online poker rooms, or
poker leagues,” said Kurt Lange, president and chief executive of
Poker Academy.
“Our new version of Poker Academy Pro delivers that in spades. Players
can design, simulate and save tourney structures from their favorite local casino
or online poker site. We have empowered them with the tools to train to win without
taking any risk.”
“Another compelling aspect of our multi-table tournament feature in
Pro 2.5 is that individuals, organisations, or poker leagues can now host their
own Holdem events online for free. To participate, one only needs to own a
copy of our software. This is ideal for poker leagues who want to expand into
the online world or for non-profit organizations interested in holding Texas
Hold'em charity events via the Internet.”
As part of the update, Pro Texas Holdem 2.5 comes to market with other new and
exciting additions. The Hand Evaluator window strength tab shows better
simulation values, running through 100 000 simulation trials and calculating the
results in terms of strength against 1-9 players.
Other distinguishing components include "Play and Learn" facilities
enabling users to challenge themselves against advanced computer opponents with
AI that learns and adapts to play, and opponents can be edited to mimic real-life
players. Adjust aggressiveness, hand selection, odds estimation, and betting tendencies.
Zip Play and Advanced Actions produce an intensified game play experience.
The Advisor function provides expert suggestions on when to bet, check,
or fold, and how often, together with pop-up alerts that warn of potentially bad
decisions. Messages explain why an action may be ineffective in the context of
the current situation.
Supply the details of the desired game and the tournament clock feature
will manage blind levels, breaks and payouts.
Once users are confident in their abilities, it's time for the Advanced AI
which helps strengthen skills against heads-up specialist bots derived from the
respected University of Alberta Poker Research Group. And talking about
research, this package gives a complete history and alalytical capability that
embraces every aspect of play.
