Software Review Thread - For Tools Sticky. (SPAM within?)
I have received a number of PMs recently asking for addition to the tools sticky; though I must admit my finger isn't really on the pulse of STT anymore - I am not qualified to decide which PMs are definitely net positives to the community and which are not.
So this thread is specifically for the purpose of posters reviewing some of the newest software releases out there. YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO READ THIS THREAD, and if you hate spam, PLEASE STOP NOW!!! This thread is for three types of people: 1) If you like to try all the different SnG software out there - to post reviews and comments 2) If you wish you had time to try all the different SnG software out there but don't, you can read reviews left by people in part 1 3) To advertise new software / new releases of software If none of this matters to you, go no further. Eventually, however, products with a generally positive response will get added to the tools sticky. Here's a list of the products I've gotten PMs about recently... jukofyork's PartySNGHelper AHK script (I expect this one to make the sticky pretty easily Qubit's ICM Poker.com SpadeICM |

I've developed a website called ICM Poker where you can get the exact same results as SnGPT for free! My "ICM Applicator" behaves identically to Sit n Go Power Tools and is accessible online with absolutely no downloads. In addition, the ICM Calculator is capable of computing ICM equities for situations with up to 10 players and up to 10 payout spots, also with no downloads. Enjoy!!
Feedback appreciated, --Qubit |

From Wikipedia Nash Equilibrium - "Stated simply, you and I are in Nash equilibrium if I am making the best decision I can, taking into account your decision, and you are making the best decision you can, taking into account my decision. Likewise, many players are in Nash equilibrium if each one is making the best decision (s)he can, taking into account the decisions of the others."
For the nash calculator - is it hurting us, helping us, or doesn't matter when our opponents aren't in equilibrium with us? |

[/ QUOTE ] For heads up your opponents strategy doesn't matter since any deviation they make from equilibrium will only increase your EV. With more than 2 players the game is no longer zero sum between any two players since chipEV isn't $EV. This means that if you were to stick to the nash equilibrium strategy your opponents can now hurt your EV by giving up EV themselves by calling too wide, pushing too tight, etc. So it certainly does matter that your opponents aren't in equilibrium with you. This is why in reality we try to play in such a way as to maximally exploit our opponents mistakes by adjusting to whatever ranges we put them on. That said, I think the Nash calculator is a great tool that has a lot of application. The ranges suggested give you a good starting point for many ICM problems and the solutions themselves can be used in situations against good regs. I find EQDiff very interesting as well since it gives you some idea how your expected equity changes due to position, stack size, etc. |
