Poker Wingman Odds Calculator Review

Poker Wingman
Poker Wingman is the latest in odds calculation software. Most of you know that there is a myriad of poker software products that provide odds calculation in real-time. Most of the software is specifically setup for online poker players and Poker Wingman is no different. Basically this product provides an odds calculator and recommends the “correct” play based upon position and pot odds.
Wingman works on both play money and real money tables and even displays your hole cards for you after you have folded although Pokerstars newest version allows you to see them without this software. There is a Pro version which handles bankroll management and will calculate just how much you need to play in a given cash game. This comes in very handy indeed. However, you can simply enter the calculation from almost any web site into an excel spreadsheet and do the same thing for absolutely free. The Pro version will run you $40 bucks.
Ultimately, I would not recommend this software to an advanced player as they are likely to already know what odds are involved in a hand. However, poker tips are plentiful in this application for those that are not as familiar with the game. If you are new to the game it can definitely help you learn the basic calculations and how to best apply that knowledge.

be careful.. pokerstars usually bans software that recommends the correct play, instead of just displaying the odds… :)
Thanks for stopping by Mirandes. That is not the case with Poker Wingman. It only applies to software that uses a real-time database of online poker players. Poker Wingman does not use such a database and is on their approved software listing. I will be posting more about the list of approved and prohibited software later.
Take care.
That sounds interesting. I play a lot of poker, checkout my blog if you want.
Thanks for stopping by Jep. Yeah, I think Wingman is a pretty good product.
