PokerSoftware Launches Beginners Guide

If you’re new to the game of poker, don’t worry. We have you covered in a big way here on PokerSoftware.com. Just launched on the site is the brand new Beginners Guide to Poker Software, featuring an in-depth discussion of what online poker rooms to play at, software that all players should use, software that smart players use, data mining basics, and making the right friends. It’s an easy read and written by poker software experts.

The Beginners Guide starts out with a look at what online poker sites to play at, focusing on rakeback and free software opportunities. We offer rakeback on some of the world’s largest online poker sites and, as a bonus, players who sign up through PokerSoftware.com can take advantage of tens of thousands of dollars in exclusive promotions every month. We encourage members to select online poker rooms based on their trustworthiness, loyalty programs, liquidity, and promotions. For signing up for several sites, you can score free poker software.

We’ll also investigate basic programs like Holdem Manager and PokerTracker. The two tracking and analysis giants feature working Heads-Up Displays (HUDs) that ensure the latest information on you and your opponents is displayed on the screen at all times. Both recently rolled out solutions for Rush Poker, a high-speed game that allows players to jump to a new table for a new hand as soon as their action in the previous pot ends. Holdem Manager unveiled a solution that uses the Notes feature on Full Tilt, while PokerTracker boasts a full-fledged HUD.

Then, we investigate poker software that smart players use. These programs separate the men from the boys and include a variety of table selection tools. Anyone can pick a seat at an online poker site. Just open the lobby, find an empty chair, post your big blind, and you’re set. However, if you’re playing multiple tables, having a proper table selection tool like Table Scanner or Poker Table Ratings can improve your win rate dramatically. You can quite literally find the juiciest tables online, using information pulled from your own database. Both Holdem Manager and PokerTracker offer table selection utilities.

The data mining section of the PokerSoftware.com Beginners Guide starts off with a review of the Terms and Conditions of Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars, allowing you to read in black and white where these sites stand on this genre of software. We review the two major methods to purchase hand histories, in bulk and via a subscription, and describe the process of obtaining hands. We also review other software programs you’ll want to check out, including Poker Push Bot, SNG Wizard, and poker training sites like CardRunners and Stox Poker.

Finally, the Beginners Guide dives into the importance of joining online poker forums like PocketFives.com and TwoPlusTwo. There, you can discuss poker software, strategy, and news all in one place with self-proclaimed “experts” of the game. Don’t forget that we also have forums right here on PokerSoftware.com where you can chat with experts and software developers about the latest rumblings in our industry. We even have a forum for general poker chat to bounce topics off of other players. The bottom line is that joining a poker forum and being active in it are critical to your success.
