fwiw I use this instead of pokerstove, its better imo.

Thanks for the link - Downloaded. Looks like a nice freeware.

Its not free software but flopzilla is worth the small price imo.

I have flopzilla too $25 i think i paid way back when, the eqilab is like pokerstove meets flopzilla. pokerstove doesn't show combo counts or have a range analyzer. Flopzilla doest show equity and its kinda hard to enter 1 card FD's and stuff like that.
the eqilab does it all and also has an equity trainer feature which is kinda cool.

Again, how is this not 5 stars?

Yeah really

Thanks for the bump. Now I can see how many views this got. Can't beleive it's over 12K. This is for sure my most viewed milestone post of all.

perhaps because noob's don't know how to star rate a thread?
(I've never done it, and wouldn't know how off the top of my head...)

Edit: ok, it's LOL-easy if you look for it...

Since Lanyi wrote this, I've moved from stove to Equilab. I like the canned ranges as a starting point, though even the DeucesCracked opening ranges are slightly tighter than most LAGTAGs (say, their video instructors) play. If you want a quick and dirty starting point for a standard opponent, it is great. Also you can save customized ranges, so "cold calling live donk" can be preserved for future use.

There was a point a few years ago when I stopped just skimming through posts with stoves and actually started doing them myself. It changed how I thought about hands, even during play. If you're someone who knows all the reasons why hot/cold equity isn't 100% accurate and never does it yourself, read Lanyi's post and improve your game.

Me too. It's much better and free as well. Maybe someone can post an addendum to my post with some additional pointers on using equilab.

Bump

Just looked at the Equilab website for the first time. That equity trainer looks pretty cool. Can anyone tell me offhand whether it works for non-HE games?

They also have one for omaha http://www.pokerstrategy.com/software/14/

equilab is all i use now. havent used pokerstove in over a year.

Thanks. This post was very useful for me.

Thanks for all the tips!
I started using Equilab a couple of days ago. It's a great help and very comfortable to use.
