Calculatem Pro is software in which it is designed to help improve the skills of the people that use it by giving them the information that is needed to succeed in poker.  Calculatem Pro tells its users whether or not to call, raise, or to simply throw the hand away.  It bases its decision on your position on the table and the hand you are holding at the time.  Along with giving you the advice on deciding what source of action to do it also contains many more important features.  Calculatem Pro gives your hand rank, tells you your hand strength throughout the hand, gives the odds that you will have the best hand on the flop, shows the number of outs you have to make your hand and Calculatem Pro also shows the percentage of pot vs. call.  There is a lot of information that is being given to you but throughout the course of a poker hand this information is vital if you would like to be a consistent winner at the game of poker.

I recently did an article of how Poker Blinds Cost Money in the Long Run and this article is really no different.  You can almost consider it as the 2^nd half to my other article.  When dealing with multi table tournaments a player must pay attention to the blind structure of the tournament.  By looking at the structure a player can evaluate how he wants to play that certain tournament.  If the levels are long and the blinds/antes don't increase at a fast rate then players at the table can afford to sit around and pick their spots.  But if the tournament is say a ‘turbo' then a player might start to open up his range a little more in order to keep up with blinds increasing.

There are plenty of poker books to choose from when you are deciding which poker book to read and I mean there are PLENTY.  Obviously all the books you will read will offer tips, advice, and strategy toward the game of poker but many of the books are different.  Some books may be offering you cash game advice, some may offer you multi tournament advice or even give you tips to help you destroy the field in the sit n go world.  Though there are multiple books for the topics I just mentioned; the books are written by different authors/players so the readers can get a wide range of information and then proceed to use the strategy that fits them. Super System may be the most popular poker book on the market today and that may because it comes from the legendary Doyle Brunson.  Today I want to share some of the other poker books that may not get the same publicity but still offer great poker advice.

One of the moves in Texas Hold'em that I try to stay away from is putting my tournament life on a draw.  More often than not I will leave the table on tilt and frustrated that my draw did not hit even though the odds will tell you that the flush will not hit the majority of the time anyway.  Yet this can all change if the right odds are available to the player and this is where pot and implied odds come into play.  I saw many cases in the past where people fold (either A they are not very good at poker or B they had a terrible hand in which they didn't think they could call and I may even go with option C which is all of the above) when they should be calling with any two cards because of the pot odds they were receiving.  I have seen people fold to 35 chips when the pot is 3,000 chips because well....actually I am baffled why they would fold??  Let's discuss pot and implied odds before these memories put me on tilt.
