ok i havent' used this that much since i havent' played since black friday.
i was mostly waiting for the updates i was hoping for
1. for post flop trainer the program doesn't tell you why your guess is wrong.
so then how am i supposed to get better ?

"Ace Poker Drills isn’t meant to teach you how to play poker. It’s meant to specifically drill patterns and relationships regarding equity and odds into your brain. That means that the program (excepting the preflop trainer) will often put you in situations that that you wouldn’t ever want to be in (cold calling weak aces in EP, for instance), because it’s only concerned with generating a possible scenario and testing your ability to recognize odds / evaluate equity. It’s important, especially for inexperienced players, to make this distinction, and the program could do a bit better of a job on that score."
i know you said on the advertisement for it
"Learn to intuitively understand your approximate equity in any given situations by repetitive drilling."
in my view the drilling isnt' working for me for i don't know why the answer i picked was wrong. so how do you fix that ?
where it says hint,, when you get the answer wrong it can say something briefly or give recomendation on what to study in the odds and outs.
2. i would offer the suggestion to set it up so we got pocket pairs lower then 10, suited ace king, 56 suited evento 57 suited or 64 off suit so we play 20 hands where the board is various . i think that will lead to more better training then just some random hands.
3. here is the third idea..
the ability to study the odds and outs and a more focus approach
1. flush draws
2. overcards
3. straight draws
which means that whatever outs are there like straights or overcard that you are dealing with flush draws.
so then then the program can tell you , your answer was wrong, we suggest you run flush, or back door outs section of the odds and outs.
3. the odds and outs section,
for the equity trainer you can have the cards shown or not,,
but for the odds and outs there is no ability there like that, so you are stuck knowing what the villian has,,
which in a real life situation we will never know (unless he shows one card in the casiono or something ).
so that is detrimental to training ( be cool if the villian flipped a random card that goes with that board ).
4. at the micros especially where is where most of your customers should come from,,
pots are rarely heads up on the flop so for odds and outs and equity we should have the option to have 2 villains or heads up..
or possiblity of random villians if we so choose aka the program suddenly puts in 3 people or even 6 people like on high stakes where the whole table saw the flop after a min raise.
it is a good program but the drilling just isnt' working for me without reinforcement of why it is wrong. (the formula under hints is pretty complicated i tell you ,, ).
in short i dont know if you are still working on an omaha version but until the equity trainer really works for people like myself, i dont' know if i can buy that .
