If you’re still rocking a Zack Morris phone, just installed AOL 3.0 from that disc you received 10 years ago in your mailbox, and think a PDA is your best bet for managing your personal information, than you’re light years behind on the technological curb and robbing yourself of some intuitive and amazing iPhone poker apps.
Sick of reading those pesky token Hold’em cards telling you what hand beats what when you open up a pack of Bicycle cards? Want to know the odds of that mongoloid who just caught his fifth runner runner full house against you? Well you’re in luck!
The Card Player Poker Odds Calculator iPhone app is available for download through the iTunes store front and will put to rest just who really was the lucky one at your home game. And the best part? It’s free.
The calculator works for tables with up to nine players and shows the probability of each players hand being the winner pre-flop, on the flop, on the turn, and on the river. It can only be be used with Hold’em and Omaha and works on both the iPhone and iPod Touch. No Badugi or 2-7 Triple Draw for you!
If you’re still running the blinds of your home game by looking at a clock on the wall or are pretending you had your ante in before your friends Motorola Razr timer went off, it’s time to enter the mobile age. The Poker Blind Timer app will help you manage the entire structure of tourney, and is able to be adjusted at any point during play. With similar timer blind buttons costing between $10-$15 dollars on Amazon and at Wal-Mart, it would be a tall order finding a reason why you shouldn’t download this free app and showcase it at your home game on Friday night.
