Poker-Edge 5 Launches

The staff at PokerSoftware.com received exclusive access to the brand new Poker-Edge 5.  The new Poker-Edge 5 was released recently and is armed with new features, more stats, and new offers.  With a slick redesign and brand new program, Poker-Edge 5 looks like a much improved software solution for online poker players looking to get an edge at the tables.

If you are the type of player who wants to have their Heads-Up Display (HUD) filled with the most accurate stats possible, then you have two routes you can go.  The first is to buy millions of hand histories and take the time to import them into your tracking program.  This would take money, time, and a ton of system resources that you may not necessarily have.  The second is to tap into a program that does all of that work for you.  Enter Poker-Edge, a subscription-based software that allows its users to access a pooled database of player statistics.  The new core of Poker-Edge 5 contains billions of hands and grows by a reported 10+ million per day.

The all-new Poker-Edge 5 boasts a progressive HUD overlay with key stats placed strategically on top of your poker table.  The HUD is dynamic in that it knows what street you are on and will give you relevant statistics to your situation.  This dynamically processing HUD allows you to have more stats immediately available to you without stuffing them all into a huge box that would dominate the table.  With the new Poker-Edge 5, if you double click a player’s HUD, you’ll launch a detailed report.  You can even click on the graph icon to see their historical winnings and if you right click on a stat, a box will appear with even more data.  You can click and drag the HUD to reposition it.

The detailed player reports show you a full analysis of each player at the table.  All stats and graphs are filterable by time, stake, tournament M, and the number of players at a table.  Each report includes information by street, position, recent showdowns, hand replays, and more.  These detailed reports are presented in a very well designed window that makes reading them easy and efficient.

Notifications are brand new to Poker-Edge 5 and alert you when special events occur.  These are fully customizable and include hand strength, blind steal opportunities, and all-in situations.  For example, you can set up a notification to occur every time you get pocket aces or when someone on the table goes all-in.

For players who struggle or haven’t learned the mathematical concepts behind poker, the new fully integrated Pot Odds and Poker Outs feature will be of tremendous help.  These calculations are automatically computed for every table you play on.  Players can choose to display them anywhere in the HUD Table Summary.

The last major feature that is sure to make waves is the Table Finder utility.  It’s a table selection tool that can seriously improve your win-rate by finding the juiciest tables possible.  With the billions of hands in the Poker-Edge database, the program uses a server side scanning technology to deliver the fastest and most accurate table selection tool possible.  The Table Finder and Buddy List are included in the Lobby-Edge add-on package for Poker-Edge 5.

Poker-Edge 5 will support Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, PartyPoker, UB.com, Absolute Poker, the iPoker Network, and Bodog.  The company behind Poker-Edge 5 has said that support for more online poker sites will come as time goes on.

For users of the old edition of the program, the biggest difference is in the sheer number of stats and data available.  Poker-Edge 5 has a new and improved database to give users access to over 200 unique statistics.  The HUD is also much improved, mainly through the impressive “current state” feature, which dynamically alters the HUD to display street-relevant statistics.

Poker-Edge 5 comes with a free five-day trial and there is reportedly going to be a promotion where players can get the product free for three months.  Poker-Edge 5 will have three subscription levels: Micro ($4.95 per month), Silver ($14.95 per month), and Gold ($29.99 per month).

Note that Poker-Edge 5 may not comply with the Terms and Conditions of several online poker sites.
