For those of you who are into the use of software to help improve your play, you’ll be happy to know that Hold ‘Em Manager has introduced a new feature in its latest iteration. It’s called the vision feature, and it allows you to do some things unprecedented in the poker software realm.
The Vision addition is a massive database that allows you to compare yourself to the others in the database. In short, it’s gives you a global perspective of where you rank compared to some of the best in the world. Not only does this feature give you a graph to compare to, it allows you to see detailed stats such as stake level, a histogram of profit and loss, and recent activity of poker players in tournaments and ring games.
As a result of this, the player gets and aid to the HUD that is included in Hold ‘Em Manager. Using this database in connection with the HUD, a user will have an extremely detailed picture of his opponent. With the ability to import hand histories, on top of a state of the art database feature, Hold ‘Em Manager users will be among the first to experience this kind of edge over other poker online players.
The only question is: will the casinos take a liking to this kind of data being available to only the HEM userbase? Guess we’ll find out soon enough.
