Monitoring Table Developments with Calculators

How do we actually use a calculator feature in real-life table situations online? Like for instance, how do we coordinate the use of a player profiler while engaged in a certain hand? Here are examples.

First, we can get reliable hints with the use of an apt calculator whether a raise has been made with an unconventional hand at a certain stage of a game and whether such raise was aimed at stealing the blinds. When an opponent seems reluctant to raise when the situation calls for it, the calculator will pick up on it and mark the opponent a passive player. Or, when the opponent calls or cold calls two or more bets this, too, is picked up by the player profiler feature.

When the calculator alerts us of the above player behavior we then adjust our calculator to an aggressive play to force the passive player out of the hand. If the player seems to merely slow play the calculator will take note and alert us to it. A slow player sometimes can be dangerous. So we shift to a cautious play mode and turn the calculator indicator to a tight play.

There are calculators features extremely sensitive when an opponent is attempting to steal or defend the blinds for later acquisition or any such player moves or behavior. They can even see if the hands used to do them were common or extraordinary—something most players won't use ordinarily. The same when a player raises or completes the small blind.

We can also use a calculator to see what the opponent intends to do after the flop comes out. And as we are approaching the river play the calculator can alert us on bluffs the opponent may attempt through betting or raising. It may give us hints on loose calls the opponent makes while actually holding weak hands. Then, as the game continues, the calculator will pick up patterns from how the opponent plays each phase of a game.

For instance, the calculator can monitor raise sequences and alert us of a raising pattern that can be taken advantage of. With pre-flop plays it can classify at least 15 different play styles the opponent uses and predict accurately out of that. If during the initial play we execute a weak hand selection the calculator will immediately warn us on this.

Playing with the help of poker software using special calculator features involves coordination between calculator data and our play. This aids in better table situation monitoring.
