Turbo Texas Hold'em

[cferejohn]

Does anyone here have experience using the Turbo Texas Hold'em software, and would you reccommend it (or against it)? I've been playing for a while, and to use the essay on this site (http://www.twoplustwo.com/zee2.html) about the stages of being a poker player, I'm somewhere between the "tight/passive" and "loose/tricky" stages of developement. Which is to say, sometimes I make successful tricky plays, but I think I get too excited about them and try to make too many.

Anyway, if this software was $30-40, I'd almost certainly have bought it, but at a whopping $90, its a much tougher call. I've played through the demo (which has a limited numbe of preset hands), and there are some pretty neat features.

Anyway, any advice is defnitely appreciated.

Hi Chris:

I use it. There are some good threads on it here, just use the search function. Most of the discussion was in the Books/Software room I believe. If you get it, I'd like to see what you think. Thanks.

Hello Cferejohn,
I purchased the software before I ever played a real
money hand. After playing over 50,000 software hands
I ventured into the casino for my first real money
experience. Understand that this is before I ever
read a book on the subject or knew anything about hand
selection and position. Anyway I played nervously for
two hours and lost $1 in a loose passive game. Now after
6 months of Turbo and book reading I dominate that same
game. Won $400 in a six hour session the last time I played.
It's a 3/6 game by the way.

So my recommendation is to forget about price.
It pays for itself. And yes, I still use Turbo to
refine my play by changing lineups and running
simulations. A great tool.
