Our patent pending analyzer evaluates your entire poker game, all hands together, and every move you make to identify patterns in your game. Unlike other tests that put you in various situations, we allow you to play every hand from start to finish. This is a critical distinction. Consider a hand where you are asked to contemplate a difficult decision on the turn. Your ability to make this decision may be a good judge of your poker talent. However , given the way you play the game, you may never have gotten yourself into that situation in the first place! Alternatively, you may play hands in such a way that you get yourself into difficult situations on a regular basis.
To accurately assess your abilities, you must be allowed to play naturally, in a true-to-life poker setting. Our Ph.D. created analyzer searches for patterns in your game. Patterns that a skilled opponent could take advantage of, patterns that are COSTING YOU MONEY! Be prepared to DOMINATE YOUR OPPONENTS™!
Here are some additional tips that will help you during the test:
- The test will consist of 50 hands of No Limit Texas Holdem, with 9 players. Your play will be evaluated based on how all of the actions you take over the 50 hands will affect your ability to win consistently in the long run, not on each hand individually.
- The test is not timed. Take as long as you want with your decisions. To speed up the game, when you hit the FOLD button, the next hand will start immediately.
- You will always start each hand with at least 1000 chips. The blinds are 5 and 10. Your opponents will usually start each hand with 1000 chips, although sometimes they will be short-stacked.
- Your opponents' names will tell you about their playing style. Pay attention to them! Sometimes, you will have no reads on them. Occasionally, new opponents will enter the game, just like in a real poker game.
- The test questions are all pre-programmed and are not random. You may be dealt many strong hands to test your ability to play them correctly.
- Do not change your play just because this is a test. Play as you normally would in a real poker game – feel free to bluff, check-raise, try to trap opponents, etc. You will not be penalized if your action was appropriate for the situation.
Even the most highly skilled pros use training methods to improve their games. Our program simplifies the process by identifying the areas where you need to train.
When you take the test for the first time and become a member of the training program, you receive a detailed plan assessing your game in 12 main skill areas and providing you with detailed training documents about three more specific areas where you could improve your game the most. We recommend ways for you to train to improve. Then, our members are able to take an unlimited number of tests with hands pulled from our huge database of NL Holdem Hands, each time receiving an analysis of their game, a hand-by-hand replay of their game with detailed analysis commentary, and the ability to track their improvement.
Even experts can benefit from this. In fact, our team of experts regularly uses our analyzer to spot check their games and keep their win rates at the maximum level.
It is extremely difficult. As you know, there are many different ways to play no limit holdem. Some professionals are very aggressive and play twice as many hands as other players. However, all winning players possess the ability to play their game in such a way that an opponent cannot easily read their hand. They also know how to avoid situations which are nearly impossible to play correctly. Thus our analyzer searches for patterns in your game and common errors that are exploitable by your opponents.
Our analyzer looks for both actions that are clearly wrong from the onset (such as playing seven-deuce for a raise), and plays that are not wrong in and of themselves, but could be wrong if used too often (bluffing too much would be an example of this). We have tested the analyzer extensively with poker experts and feel confident that you can use our analysis to improve your game and DOMINATE YOUR OPPONENTS™.
