TOWARD BETTER POKER
Poker Academy and Party Poker in training agreement
Party Poker players will get to improve their game following an agreement signed this week between Poker Academy, the Texas Holdem poker software developer and Party Poker. The deal is that Poker Academy will help train players to improve their game at all levels.
As part of the agreement, Party Poker.com has launched a brand new "Poker Trainer," powered by Poker Academy's software. A free poker training tool for PartyPoker.com players, users can play and hone their skills against computer opponents in real-time on a dedicated play money trainer table. The software was based on work done by a team of researchers at the University of Alberta.
Kurt Lange, president and chief executive of Poker Academy Software says that players can learn the ropes in real-time and improve their game play. "It's like studying a foreign language by living in the country of origin; this approach is truly the best and fastest way to improve your Texas Hold'em game without taking any risk," he says.
"If you're new to poker, the ins and outs of the game can sometimes seem overwhelming," said Warren Lush of Party Poker. "What's more, trying to psyche out your opponents while calculating the odds in a split second is a tall order - even for seasoned pros. That's why a new Poker Trainer was added to Party Poker's free software package. Using our Poker Trainer, players will soon have the skills and confidence to stay on top of Texas Hold'em, the most popular version of poker played online."
Additional Poker Trainer features include:
-Three levels - beginner, intermediate and experienced
-The 'Hand Evaluator' advises you as you play a hand, telling you its value, your chance of winning (percentage), and the pot odds
-An 'Advisor' function complements the Hand Evaluator and guides you on the best moves for each hand (fold, bet, call, or raise)
- 'Session Stats' show you how you performed on the trainer (hands, hands played, hands won, and win rate are all available)
-Part of the free Party Poker software download The Poker Trainer isn't just for beginners. Even if you already know how to play, the program is a great way to hone skills ahead of a big game or tournament.
