Where is the best place to play poker?
***PokerTracker 4***
This is one of the most well-known and popular programs for all poker players. This program covers a wide range of needs and satisfies every beginner's requirements. It works in real-time, so the analysis is done during the game, not after. Therefore, the benefit is maximal, and you can make the best decisions immediately.

PokerTracker 4 is the fourth version of the program. With updates, this brand has been around since 2001, so you can trust PokerTracker 4 as a quality and winning program.

***Holdem Manager 3***
Beginners learn about this program the earliest. According to statistics, Holdem Manager and its group of products (RangeWizard, NoteCaddy, Table Ninja, etc.) already have over a million users worldwide. Holdem Manager 3 is the latest and most powerful version of the Holdem Manager program. It is a HUD-type application that projects the most important information on your screen in real-time and shows indicators that help make winning decisions.
HM3 (as this program is abbreviated) was created by poker players for other poker players. The program and its database are constantly updated, so everyone can create the gaming experience they need. The program is mainly a HUD, so you see all the useful information presented in the game field. You can change the layout and presentation of the information according to your needs and preferences. The database has over 1000 parameters from which you can choose to display. However, apart from real-time information, you can also analyze your opponents' game after the session, generate reports according to your needs, and filter information as you need it.
***Table Ninja II***
This program is part of the Holdem Manager 3 suite (program set). It may not teach the basics of poker or allow you to see various statistics in real-time, but with its help, you can gain experience several times faster than usual. With Table Ninja II, you can play multi-table poker or online poker at several tables simultaneously. Thus, instead of playing 10 hands and gaining only 10 hands of experience, you can play 40 and gather several times more knowledge and information into your HM3 program.
Table Ninja II also allows you to increase your winnings and adapt to your playing style. The main advantage of Table Ninja II is key binding (English binding) to certain functions. By creating so-called hotkeys you can perform many actions simultaneously and be strong players at several tables at once. The program itself calculates bets for you and provides various relevant and important data in real-time. It is an excellent choice for seriously minded beginners.
***Simple GTO Trainer***
GTO+ and Simple GTO Trainer are the only programs of this type that could be recommended to a new player. Simple GTO is actually a group of programs (like HM), which any experienced or new poker player can use to improve and increase their advantage at every table. Simple GTO Trainer is a program in the Simple Poker group that allows you to train and deepen your knowledge about the most optimal decisions in any poker situation.
By creating random or real scenarios, Simple GTO Trainer users master the nuances of game optimization theory and become more successful and profitable players. GTO Trainer will provide you with analysis and data in real-time. Users will also be able to see where they are making mistakes, which actions are too obvious, and which bring the most benefit. Later, you can connect Simple GTO Trainer with other, more advanced programs and get the maximum benefit in any game.
GTO+
It is not easy to find programs that are user-friendly and can offer top-notch analytical capabilities. GTO+ is an exception, as it is the most user-friendly of all super-advanced Nash equilibrium supercalculators.
GTO+ works with heads-up postflop game situations, which it examines down to the smallest details. Generally, amateurs and beginners should not even look at GTO programs, as they are designed for players who dedicate a lot of time to poker and are looking for all possible ways to gain an advantage. However, as mentioned, GTO+ is an exceptionally user-friendly program that allows you to quickly create decision trees, create situations, and the algorithms embedded in the program immediately analyze them and show the optimal solution. Using this program, even beginners can rely on mathematics, as they will always have it at hand.
