The great thing about building a better poker website is that we can build tools to tell you things about your Poker game that you always wished you knew. Everybody has a style of play, certain cards they like, certain hands they shoot for (do you chase straights? flushes? do you hold pairs?) and it’s pretty easy to look at a player’s hand history and pull out their strengths and weaknesses. We’ve got a lot of plans for doing this, but we’ve started simple by allowing you to see your best performing hole cards, your worst performing hole cards, and how many of each hand rank you’ve won.

This is pretty great even by itself and I’m surprised more poker games don’t show this. Basically, the more I play, the better insight I get into how I play. I can see things like even though I love those J-10 hands, they don’t always perform that well for me, and things like that. You can see this for any player you’re up against, and soon you’ll be able to see averages for the community as a whole.

Now, when you combine that with our Poker Advice through hand analysis provided by other players, we hope we’re building a very useful Poker Training tool for you. For example, the next time I’m dealt a J-10 (suited or unsuited) I can flip to the Strategy page and search for that J-10. Now I can see what my averages are with that hand versus the community averages, and I can read any hand analysis that other players have written for that hand. I can’t wait to see this section once it fills up with content.. it’s going to be a lot of fun to use.
