Full Review
The sheer volume of information you get with Hold’em Hawk makes it an indispensable poker odds calculator for winning players. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:
The top VPIP Meter displays information about your table's looseness or tightness. By repesenting this information graphically, you will quickly be able to see how your table is playing and adjust your style accordingly. You can change this to a data display if you prefer and the meter looks like this:
The next area in the display will show you live table information and your current number of outs. The calculator will display your number of playable outs, which is the number of outs you have that will improve your hand. Just below that calculation, you will see your pot odds. If your number of playable outs exceeds your pots odds, then it is mathematically correct to continue with your hand. In this same section, you will see what the nut hand is based on the board.
The display incorporates green and red color schemes, so you will instantly see if you should proceed with your hand or fold. Green means continue and red means fold; it's that simple. Here is an example of what you can expect from the Table Info and Stats sections:
Sessions stats at the bottom of the main display show the VP$IP, Pre-Flop Raise Percentage (PFR), and Post-Flop Aggressiveness (PFA) for each player while Hold’em Hawk has been running. It’s useful since you can see how loose or tight a player is and what their tendencies are after the flop. Knowing this information will allow you to feed on weaker players while staying away from stronger ones unless you have a really big hand. Here is a look at the Session Stats section:
The last feature that Hold'em Hawk offers is a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that contains a summary of all of the outs, pots odds, and WC% along with the green/red color-coding. The HUD information and color scheme make it an easy cheat sheet that sits right in the corner of your online poker table. Here is a sample HUD:
Hold’em Hawk is fully customizable. You can change what information is displayed in the main console, when the HUD should begin giving you data, and some of the graphic displays. Hold'em Hawk is a really helpful product that all but makes the decission for you. Making the correct mathematical decission is really important and this program makes it really easy for you. Red means "No" and green means "Go"! It doesnt get any easier than that.
