Edge.Poker is a poker odds calculator or analyzer developed by us, Stockenja. We like to think of it as a tool that can train beginners or experienced players to get better at their game. It uses some interesting mathematics concepts (mainly around probability theory) to help poker players make better decisions and improve their game. Some of the mathematics that are used include Kelly criterion and Monte Carlo simulation.
We are going to cover 2 different whys in this section. The first is about why we built this app and the second is why you should care.
Stockenja is a startup that focus on building technologies and products to help traders and investors to make better decisions. Due to increased cost and technical challenges, we decided to look at other fields to see if we can apply some of our knowledge learnt in trading to other fields. It turns out that stock trading is one form of gambling. In the domain of gambling, poker is probably the most well known.
We decided to look into poker (Texas Hold'em) to see if we can apply what we learnt in the stock market to poker. Also, we were curious to see if poker can teach us anything about the stock market.
Due to our previous experience, we figured that developing a poker analyzer would satisfy our goal. This experience has proven to be relatively fruitful and we have already achieved some of our goals. We were able to quickly figure out how to use Kelly criterion in poker and build out a Texas Hold'Em simulator. We believe that the Texas Hold'Em simulator will be an increasingly valuable technology as time progresses.
So, why should you care?
Most strategies and sophisticated poker odds calculators or poker analyzer rely on the concept of guessing opponents' hands. Mathematically speaking, guessing opponents' hands relies heavily on individual's skill and it is heavily biased. Bias causes highly volatile performance, if not losing a lot of money. Furthermore, it is impossible to mathematically prove that a strategy is profitable in the long term. We believe that using our free online calculator/analyzer for extended period of time will train and coach you to be a better player.
Due to our mathematical approach of estimating probability, the advice given is mathematically guaranteed to produce maximum profitability in the long run. Please note that you may still lose money in some games. But, in the long run, you should be profitable.
Other than that, we offer top opponents' hands analysis given the shared cards. Our post-flop opponents' hands analysis can quickly train you to identify what are some of the dangerous opponent hands. This is very helpful when you are new to the game.
Edge.Poker is a poker odds calculator and analyzer. Our tool provides:
Edge.Poker is best used during online poker cash game.
