Poker Edge - What is it ? (Post 1 of 3)

Over the next three posts I'm going to take a look at Poker Edge software.

Post 1 - What is it?
Post 2 - How to use it.
Post 3 - How to get it for free.

Post 1 - What is it?

Poker Edge is a great piece of software that you can use to help you play poker. It uses a database of information on millions of poker players. In fact if you've played online poker before it probably has information on you. If you want to check out your own stats enter your poker nickname into the form on the right hand side of this page (you may have to scroll down a bit).

It'll tell you exactly what other people know about your poker game and can see every time they play you if they are using Poker Edge.

How does this work?

Any player using Poker Edge software is sending information about every hand played backed to the database. So if there is data about you in the database you've already been playing against people using this software.

Just some of the information collected:

• How loose/tight a player is,
• Whether they're likely to defend their big blind,
• How often they raise,
• How often they enter pots,
• The percentage of hands they win at showdown.

That's just a snipet of some of the information collected.

In tomorrow's post I'm going to take a look at how to use this information.

If you'd like to have a look for yourself you can download the software from here and enjoy a free 5 day trial.
