Poker Office Review

Review Updated For Version 2.0

Poker Office is the tracking software that I’ve used and preferred since it was first released.  Although I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Poker Tracker, I believe the new features added to Poker Office 2.0 make it a far superior product. And while both programs do essentially the same thing, Poker Office 2.0 is far easier to get running right out of the box and includes many more features such as the ability to view opponents’ mucked hands.  You also don’t have to worry about downloading hand histories and manipulating various add-on programs as you do with Poker Tracker making Poker Office much more user-friendly.

Poker Office 2.0’s main selling point for me is the live game tracker with real time statistics.  Not only will Poker Office show you pot odds, outs, draw odds, and a host of other statistics right there on the table, it will give you accurate and detailed information on your opponents.  With a quick glance at the screen you can view how often your opponents raise pre-flop, the percentage of flops they've seen, and even the current pot odds (including many more statistics).  It also auto rates your opponents play, adjusting in real time to show how much of a threat they are including providing such statistics as aggression, BB/100 hands, how often they defend their blinds, pre/post flop stats, and much more.  The in-game overlay is a great help in identifying fish and strong players.  You can even have it watch a table in order to record the play there before joining yourself.  Some people record play at several tables for a half hour before joining in order to choose the juiciest tables.

My favorite addition to Poker Office is the ability to view opponents’ mucked hands.  When I first upgraded to 2.0 I was blown away to see what people were calling my bet on the river with.  It really is an eye opener.  The ability to view mucked hands has led to my in-game note taking more than doubling.  It’s very useful in helping you to categorize players, especially at the low limit tables where many players are somewhat predictable. 

My main gripe with Poker Office has always been the lack of a hand re-player.  In fact some of my friends have stuck with Poker Tracker just for that one item.  I was delighted to find out that this feature was finally added to Poker Office 2.0.  In the past I would always have to go back and search my hand histories until I found the monster pot I'd won so that I could show it off to my wife or friends, but who wants to search through page after page of hand histories?  Now I can replay a hand right there on the table making it much easier for non-poker playing friends to view and understand my killer take down.

Poker Office 2.0 also has more graphs.  A lot more!  I won’t bore you with details, but needless to say you can filter your graphs based on everything from hand groupings to player aggression.  There’s nearly an endless supply of statistics at your disposal ready to be manipulated and configured via graphs and charts for your tinkering pleasure.

My main concerns with Poker Office have been alleviated with the introduction of version 2.0, being primarily the lack of a hand re-player and a few small gripes.  Amazingly with 2.0 I’m left with a much smaller review as there’s literally nothing left to gripe about.  I really love this piece of software!  Enough new features have been added to really push the ball far into Poker Office’s side of the court.  If you’re debating whether or not to spend the extra cash on this program instead of Poker Tracker, I really believe that the new features and ease of use right out of the box more than make up for the price difference.  Poker Office joins the ranks of such programs as Photoshop, Excel, and a precious few others in that it is one of those few utilities that I just couldn’t see myself doing without.
