"The SitNGo Wizard reads your tournament hand history and runs an analysis of each hand. The analysis compares the equity you would have if you fold pre-flop to the equity you would have if you push all-in pre-flop. Equity is your share of the prize pool at any point in the tournament. It is based on number of opponents, the size of each player’s stack, and the tournament prize structure.
The software computes the equity of every possible outcome of the hand. It combines the equity of each outcome with the probability of each outcome to come up with the total equity. It would take you days to do these calculations by hand, but the SitNGo Wizard computes them in a fraction of a second."
This software is for post play analysis. You follow a game you have played, analysing each hand that you may have played incorrectly or correctly by the use of sophisticated graphs, and graphical table views. You can alter the perceived playing style of your opponents to see if the decision would or should have been different given the aggressiveness or passiveness of your opponent. There is a Quiz mode in the software which lets you practice random games and asks you to make the right descisions in a Sit N Go tournaments given your stack size, the blinds, your hole cards, and your position in the betting round as well as the playing style of your opponents. This feature alone used on a regular serious study basis will improve your SitNGo profits and your playing abilities.
This software is not for those who want advice during an actual game situation. It is ideal for the serious player who wants to improve their games by studying the choices they have made and the improvements that are possible in their decision making. For example, you are in a heads-up confrontation, and you have a chip stack that is 2 1/2 times greater than your opponent and you have a 73 offsuit pre-flop, and you are openning up the betting- would you consider pushing all-in? The answer is very interesting:
“….against most opponents this is a pretty standard push. It really depends on what you think the big blind’s calling range is. If you look at the game charts you will see that if BB is calling less than 50% of the time, pushing 73 is profitable. If he is calling with more than 50% of his hands, you should fold. I think most players, especially at the lower buy-ins, will be called less than 50% of the time. To see this for yourself, just click on the green/red rectangle that is next to the BB calling range. On the other hand, if he is a competent sitngo player he will know that you are pushing wide and will know to call wide. So against a good player, you should probably fold. If you set BB’s calling range to something like 60%, which is probably accurate for a good player, the Wizard will suggest folding. The reason you should be pushing wide is because the blinds are so high. BB’s stack is less than 5 big blinds, picking up the blinds when he folds to your push is valuable. If he folds often enough, winning the blinds more than offsets the times he will call you with a better hand. Even when he calls you, you are going to bust him at about 30% of the time. His calling range also depends on your image. If you have been pushing a lot recently, his calling range will be getting pretty wide and you can probably let this hand go. If you have been folding a lot, you can probably push any two cards here because his calling range will be too tight. The key to winning sitngo tournaments is putting your opponents on accurate hand ranges. If you can do that, then you have to learn to trust the math.”
This is an excellent software for those who will take the time and effort to analyse their games but will not be of any use to the poker player who wants easy prompts during the playing of an actual game. Recommended to the novice and the professional poker player if you are interested in SitNGo Tournaments, this software will be a valuable asset to you.
