You can alter the ranges by clicking on the + sign. You can then remove or add hands as you feel is appropriate, but the AI assigned ranges are very solid. Nothing is perfect, but if you use it for a while, you will notice improvements in your decision making because you'll have a more solid grasp of your approximate equity in just about every situation.

We have other applications if you want to play against AI's that will adapt to your play. That's not the goal of this application.

Oh you can assign ranges? That makes it than, will try out

Please link me to that other application too, oh and any other programs you think are +EV

Yeah in all seriousness, even from someone like myself who has played professionally, it really helped hammer home equity for me. There's a little bit of a learning curve simply because we naturally want to precisely solve every situation, but you realistically can't do that at a poker table. So the patterns APD uses will become familiar with the repetition. It becomes very intuitive pretty quickly.

Leak Buster of course is easy +EV. Highly recommend it. And then we have a new product coming out by the end of the month. I'll say more about it later.

I guess this is where I should ask for support - I am trying out the equity calculator and when I tried the "Pre-defined Ranges" button, I got the following file listed as missing in the error log: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Ace Poker Solutions\Ace Poker Drills\Config\PredefinedRanges.config' - is this supposed to be there if I'm just a trial user?

I poked around in the other files and it looks like there are xml files that define many of the things like preflop training and so it would be nice if we could modify the pre-defined ranges ourselves to something other than the currently defined hand ranges that look like Sklansky's ranges for both the pre-flop drills, and for setting up the calculator for ourselves.

I understand that most users won't be able to do much with the xml, but those of us who do know how to read/write xml could create different ranges that we might want to learn instead (for example using the ranges from "Kill Everyone" by Lee Nelson).

That's really strange. It should create that for you. I can e-mail this to you if you PM me your email address. Once the file is there, you can edit and save any of the pre-defined ranges inside of APD.

I downloaded the trial, but I cannot understand how to switch to Equity trainer? I select Settings/Program type/Equity trainer but nothing happens?

What do you mean by nothing happens? What does the program say in the upper right? Do you know what version of .net you have?

it means that nothing changes on the screen and the program remains in odds and outs mode
also when i try to run any of the movies from the training menu, i get windows exception.
how can i verify my version of .net?

yeah, it's likely a .net version issue. We're putting in more checks to make sure you have the latest installed because on a lot of win 7 systems people haven't gone to the latest.

You can check by doing the following:
# Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
# Locate, and then click one of the following registry subkeys, as appropriate for your operating system and architecture:

* For all supported x86-based versions of Windows, examine one of the following subkeys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Micr osoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile\KB2468871\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Micr osoft .NET Framework 4 Extended\KB2468871\

But I would just grab the latest and install. There are a ton of fixes and changes to the framework in performance. You can grab the latest here as long as you already have 4.x

New update released today with better .net and auto install functions upon load.

New simple and advanced mode functions added, with fixes for the odds and outs module. No matter what version you have you need to go back the main download page on the site and re-download and install the latest version. It will not be available as an auto update because of the .net framework updating.

Was just searching the internet for alternative software. Got HM with Leakbuster and am very satisfied. Any recommendations on APD? Any experience?

simple mode , v.1.00.02e

odds and outs v.100.10e

you 67
opponent jacks
flop
9club 2 spades, 2 diamond,,
outs 2
back door outs
ten 8 of clubs and another two club combo
(I hit next so it is showing percentage of 8-11 percent)

I thought on the flop ,, my outs are running 66 77 making it 4 outs
which would make it 16 percent , 4 times 4.

__
also i put it into the equity calculator and it was 3.84 percent to 96.12 percent
do i need to update my drill calcuator ?

edited to add
I think my odds and outs is bugged

the next hand

flop 3diamonds, king of spades, 9 of diamnonds.

you 6h, 7d

villian 9h, 3 spades

outs
45 spades,
58 spades,
8 ten of clubs
24 diamonds.

it isnt' possible,, do I uninstall and reinstall , what do you recommend ?

Both examples are correct. In the first one you have 2 outs (2 x 4 = 8%), not 4. And the second one is correct as well. It's picking a suited match for the running straight outs. It could be any suit. Not sure if that's what is confusing you.

You can try watching the videos on odds and outs, and maybe that will help.

thanks ,,

yeah it was the suit that was confusing me,,
as i haven't used the program to count outs in a while (i was wiating to see if there was an omaha version coming yet )
but i was starting to play no limit again

i must say the suits confused for i thought it meant i was looking for a straight flush only as my outs.

No worries. I'm going to have the developer change those kinds of spots to off suit hands unless flush specifically applies. Might make it a little easier.

this software is exactly what I need! any chance of a possible mac release in the future?

I'm thinking of taking the parallels route, but I'm just double-checking before I go there. thanks.

Likely not going to be doing Mac anytime soon unfortunately.

I just recently purchased Ace Poker Drills, and it is a really cool program.

Like another poster mentioned using it as sort of a warm up before playing, i have started doing this also. I can already tell the preflop trainer has helped me out.
the equity/odds and out stuff is a little more complicated for me, but i def feel like i am starting to pick up on it. It was always something that seemed like a foreign language to me, and when you see it in videos it can get a little dry. so this is a cool way to learn IMO.

I did have one issue with the APD Equity Calculator. Being able to import actual hands from your db is a pretty cool feature. However, when i try and access my PT3 db , i am getting an error. Any timeframe on getting a fix for this?

Thanks.

Hi,

I really like APD so far, but I was wondering when APD will work with HM2? It seems that I can't import hands from this DB or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Guido

Thanks for the feedback. What site are you primarily playing at on PT3?

It's going to work with HM2 here soon. I don't have a set ETA right now. The only thing you need a database for is IF you want to import hands. You don't need to, you can train without using your own hands, but of course it's a nice feature.

Currently just Carbon Poker.

Ok, thanks. I'm going to have one of the developers contact you. Getting a couple of hand histories and making sure it's importing ok for you would be the quickest solution.

sure, i can give you my email address, or if you need me to send some info i can do that also.

Thanks.

Does this program support training vs custom ranges?
e.g. Can I setup LAG 1, LAG 2, LAG 3 for different positions for a custom opponent?

Can I drill say TAG 3B RANGE 1 over and over?
