Thanks! What's YMMV?

Hm, interesting piece of software

But, in my opinion, preflop advices are a bit strange. According to the software, raising ATo from UTG is a mistake while limping KTs behind a ( UTG ) limper is a fine play.

Hi

I've been using the trial and have a little feedback and some questions.

As mentioned before pokerstars run it twice crashes the program.

Is there anywhere where it explains the advice? Sometimes on the flop it advises to raise some strange hands oop. I'm sure it's correct but I'd like to know why. Also preflop it might advise me to call some raggy hands from the blinds but sometimes tells me to fold.

Finally, is this program still relevant to today's game? Things such as light 3b and 4b? Floating / double floating and barrelling?

Thanks for your time

Yes, some preflop advices are quite odd.

Run it twice will be fixed very soon.

It doesn't explain the advice in text format, but you can see what range you should have your opponent on (e.g., x% straight, y% 2 pair, etc.). I think that info. is most helpful for understanding why.

Definitely relevant today. It adjust and understands light 3b, floating and barrelling, etc. But maybe I don't understand your question fully.

A lot of people question the preflop advice; however, it is exceptionally similar to the way 2 of the world's best $200 NL players play.

Raising ATo from UTG depends on stack size and numbers of people at the table. KTs depends on stack size and position, so for our software and these 2 people we modeled it after.

Here's a surprising move. In SB we recommend folding small pocket pair to a steal attempt. These two pros (i.e., world class) could not play them profitably, since the steal raiser's hands were too weak to make money off flopping trips.

Not surprising, most people have known this for a long time. How are they world class but don't know this? I mean seriously, this has been common knowledge among 2+2ers for several years.

You should either 3bet or fold your PP in SB. It's a common play.

i am not a user of this software but have skimmed the thread a bit, maybe in the future.

do you guys think it is worth the money? has it plugged some of your leaks and made you better players?

also, who are these two world class players we are talking about and what is their significance?

They know it. This is the way they play which is consistent with the advice.

I apologize for sharing information that some people already know.

I didn't realize everyone here already knew how to play small pocket pair in the SB.

I really would like to try this piece of software. I installed the trial and got an update immediately after.
But then the software tells me that my license has expired. (???)
Any idea what the problem is?

Hi JayDee,

Could you tell me how many paid shills are hawking the program in this thread and identify them. Also, are you using the same paid shills here that you used in the Skillbet forum? Could you identify all of the paid shills and exactly how much you are paying them to tout your "software".

Thanks a lot. Its always good to be transparent about these things.

All you need to do is read up on the cheating, a$$ clown, botter who started this company and Skillbet to know they are bunch of unethical dirtballs. I wouldn't install this crap on my computer, for fear that it contains a trojan or other viruses. Hit and run snake oil salesman is what they are.

So there was some scam regarding this software ?
Holy Grail of Poker Quote
01-15-2015 , 02:57 PM
1) Where are the error tolerances in your (exploit) calculations, as in how confident you are that the exploitative play (it recommends) is valid?

2) What is the Nash Distance of your AI's strategy?

3) As far as I can tell, you are claiming that this software can out-perform the current AI's available. What about this claim, if it is true, entitles you to call your software "The Holy Grail of Poker"?

I'm honestly curious as to whether or not I'm missing something, because as far as I can tell, this software is another program which is heavy on marketing, and pretty light on data (while managing to over-estimate the importance of the data which it has).
