Advanced Poker Training Launches Six-Max Simulator

If you’re looking for a place to improve your short-handed No Limit Hold’em play, then click over to Advanced Poker Training.  The poker training site recently released a six-max version of its No Limit Hold’em software that allows players to gauge where they’re at in their short-handed game by competing against bots in measured scenarios.

Short-handed play is the area that separates good players from great players, as you’re forced to make more decisions with fewer players at the table than a full ring game.  The new Advanced Poker Training six-max version aims to identify the leaks in your short-handed game and shows players the ways to correct those mistakes by providing on-table advice in every situation.

To access the new game, players should log into their member accounts and select the link to “Start a 6-max Session.”  In the “Game Options,” you can select an advisor based on your playing style or try to learn a whole new style of play.  Next, you’ll select what types of hands you’d like to play in the simulation.  You can select from “Playable Hands,” “Raising Hands,” “Suited Connectors,” “Pocket Pairs,” “Play a Specific Hand,” or just select “All “hand types to get the feel of a real six-max session.

Finally, select what position you would like the simulation to operate from and whether you would like to peek at your opponents’ hole cards, receive advice on every action, and save each hand from your session.

Once you’ve selected your options, you’ll be seated at a table with poker bots.  Each of the bots has a different playing style and you can scroll over each character to see their tendencies.

As you play your session, you can either follow the advice from your advisor or go about it your own way.  Either way, you’ll be learning what to bet from your advisor and learning different ways to approach each hand.

When the session is complete, you’ll receive a customized report based on your statistics providing you with a detailed analysis of your play.  The session will grade you on your “RealPokerIQ” as well as analyze your pre-flop play; flop, turn, and river play; and your continuation betting.

Several hands will be automatically saved during your session and you can use the hand analyzer to replay those selected hands.  The hand replayer will go over the development of the hand and point out interesting and questionable bets that were made so that you can analyze the play.

Finally, session statistics are made available and include the number of hands played, your VPIP, Pre-Flop Raise %, Aggression Factor, Went to Showdown, Continuation Bet %, Steal %, and BB/100.

Overall, the bot play is pretty good and the experience is certainly something that can assist any player in working out the kinks in their six-max game.  For players looking for a boost in their shorthanded game, the new six-max training software program is an excellent program available to members of Advanced Poker Training.

Membership is available for $19.97 per month and includes the six-max training as well as the host of other features.  Visit AdvancedPokerTraining.com for more details.
