Some helpfull poker tools

1. Poker Olymp Variance Calculator

A cool tool that shows you what kind of variance you will experience over a predifined period. In order to get accurate results you need a accurate long term winrate and your standard deviation (this is a stat that you can take out of your holdem manager and gives you an indication of how “swingy” your game is --- ex: mine is 59 because I am a nitty full ring nit; a 32/26/12 6max reg would probably have 97; etc). Below is a screenshot with what I get using my 2013 results so far:

2. Tilt breaker.

This is a program I plan to use next month, when I plan to do something very amibitious that I hope will help my winrate, volume and overall profit. Bassicly this program automaticly closes pokerstars, for hero when he loses x buyins in a session or when the program detects that hero is playing a less than A-game style/tilting.

Next month I plan to take out of my hm2 reports the: winnings, all in ev and winrate and play 1 month (my biggest ever volume), without checking results a single time. Tilt breaker should prevent me from going busto(probably won't happen anyway because I never had a losing month since I started playing on pokerstars and I have a 1000+ buyin bankroll). I will still continue to review hands and improve my game, but I will only know how mutch I won or lost, in the last day of the month. This will be a cool experiment that I hope will be +EV for me.

3.  Stars Helper

A worthy replacement for table ninja 1 (will likely not work anymore after the develepors decided to end the support in august and charge for TB2 a huge and -EV for me price =150$/year). I did not start using it yet but I am happy with the 2p2 player comments and everything so far. I really like the ideea of custom betsizing by position which will help me a lot.
