Holdem Genius Frequently Asked Questions

Is this software cheating? Is Holdem Genius disallowed by any Texas
Holdem poker rooms?

It is not cheating. Holdem Genius passively watches your game, calculating
odds and giving advice. It does not play Texas Hold'em for you, and therefore
does not violate the rules or policies of any online Texas Holdem poker room.
This tool will give you poker odds. It does not use any information you don't
already have. It does not read anyone else's cards, and does not share
information with your opponents.

Can I use Holdem Genius on play money as well as real money tables?

Yes, you can use Holdem Genius on both types of tables. Although it will
certainly give you accurate odds on your own hand, the advice that Holdem
Genius gives you may be skewed in play money games. This is because
Holdem Genius assumes your opponents know how to play Texas Holdem,
and are not playing recklessly. In play money games where no one has
anything to lose, people play more recklessly.

How does Holdem Genius calculate odds?

Many people think that Holdem Genius calculates the poker odds by
randomly dealing the outcome many times, and averaging out the results (i.e.
the Monte Carlo method). This is partially true, but it is not nearly enough in
the game of poker: a Texas Hold'em player who has stayed in while others
have folded no longer can be considered to have any old random hand. For
this reason Holdem Genius uses a proprietary predictive algorithm to give
weight to your opponents' poker hands, and determines the probability that
you will have the best hand at the River using that algorithm. Advice is given
based on this probability, and adjusted according to your position in relation
to the dealer button.

Holdem Genius also
calculates Pot Odds, which are a critical factor in skillful,
high-percentage poker. They're mathematically complex and quite confusing
for most people, but they essentially work like this: If the money you can win
in a pot - compared to a ratio of how much you need to put in and the odds
of hitting your hand - will more than make up for all the times you might lose,
you should call. In other words, if you make that same play over and over,
you'll come out ahead in the long run. Simple odds calculators can't manage
the complexity needed to generate those odds. Holdem Genius can. And
that's your decided edge. Holdem Genius provides all the basic hand odds
(even improving on the basics) PLUS pot odds so you don't make isolated -
and costly - plays based on hand odds alone.

Over time you will find the predictions are extremely accurate. For example,
given a situation where Holdem Genius tells you that you have a 75% chance
of winning the Texas Hold Em hand, you will find that you will take about 3
out of every 4 of those pots. NOTE: All pre-flop odds are pre-calculated and
hard-coded into the program. Many starting hands will vary in strength
depending on the number of people at the table.

What operating systems will run Holdem Genius?

This software runs on Microsoft XP and Vista. MAC OS9 and OSX are not
currently supported.

How does Holdem Genius differ from other poker odds calculators?

Unlike other poker odds calculators, Holdem Genius automatically attaches
to your poker room window. All the information you need to dominate your
opponents is all there on one screen. This calculator won't just tell you what
your Texas Holdem hand will be. It also compares your likely hand to your
opponents' likely hands, giving you your odds of winning the poker hand, not
just what you will personally hold. This is important, for example, if you have
an 85% chance of making your straight, but there are 4 hearts on the table.
This poker odds calculator program will tell you when to hold and fold based
on everyone's position, not just yours alone. It is essential to know when
you might need to lay down those pocket aces, no matter how hard it might
be.
