It is sad to report, but sometimes some really useful and popular poker software and freeware products get terminated. The following is a list of the casualities.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Defunct Software:
1. Prego Poker Bubble Trainer. The Bubble Trainer was an excellent ICM training tool to practice late stage tournament scenarios. Basically, the program would challenge you with a situation, then report the expected profit of your decision.
If you are looking for ICM training software, try SitNGo Wizard.
2. University of Alberta Poki. Poki was a free poker playing artificial intelligence program. You could challenge Poki, and quickly learn all about the meaning of AI poker superiority.
The U of A's AI programs are now a commercial product available through Poker Academy.
3. Poker Usher. Poker Usher was a unique tool that combined opponent stat tracking with table selection.
If you are looking for an alternative solution to Poker Usher, the ultimate sofware for opponent stat tracking is PokerEDGE, combined with its table selection plug-in, LobbyEdge.
4. Coach Rounder. Coach Rounder was a program offered by Roy Rounder. The program would analyze your hand histories and offer advice for improvement.
The least expensive alternative would be to simple post your hand history in a poker forum, and ask for advice. You will usually recieve many useful and different points of view.
