For serious players, nothing else is close

This app is geared towards serious HoldEm players. It has loads of features and options that you would not see in a typical glitzy app. At the top levels, its AI is quite good too, at least to my reckoning. The developer is extremely helpful and provides the most detailed release notes Ive ever seen in an app. Its clear a huge amount of time went into the features that distinguish this serius tool from ones geared more to the masses.

For example, there are dozens of settings to customize the way it works, including ones to make it nearly instantaneous to begin the next hand after you fold (like Rush Poker worked at Full Tilt). You have complete control over a huge variety of factors (career mode, practice mode, ring game vs tournament vs shootout, the level of skill of the computer bots, the number of players per table, the buy-in amount, the size of the antes and blinds, all sorts of look-and-feel and how-to-operate-it customizations, sounds, and much more. All sorts of statistics are kept. You can export your games to files that are usable in the major professional poker-tracking applications for Mac/Windows. And everything is backed up by extensive help and a very responsive developer. If youre a serious player looking to log, and even analyze, thousands of hands in a particular format, nothing else comes close.

No, it doesnt have cartoon characters who spout cliched sayings at you, as do most of the mass-market HoldEm apps. But if youre really serious about HoldEm, or want to be, this is the app to buy.
