The program spits out session and weekly data for you to digest. And as a representative of the site told us, the reports you get from Advanced Poker Training are very unique and not available when you normally play: "There's no way you could get this information without using our site because in live or online play, you only see opponents' hands when they show them. With our site, since we can see all hands, we can specifically tell when players are regularly making mistakes."

The reports show stats like total hands played, game type, overall winnings, number of times you moved all-in, number of times you called someone else's all-in, and stats broken down by street. The latter includes "Skill Winnings," which are defined as "the actual number of chips you would have won, adjusting for luck," and an "IQ Score," which is "a measure of your performance, adjusted for luck. Values go to 160, with 100 being the average. Higher values are better."

You'll also receive a variety of useful statistics on your play, including VPIP, PFR, AF, WTS, c-bet, DFS, Steal, BB/100, and Chips/100. It's impressive to see a poker training site utilize and introduce these statistics early, as they are paramount to becoming a successful player. Plus, many programs' HUDs incorporate these statistics, so being exposed to them early and often can help you succeed in the long-run.

Advanced Poker Training's session and weekly stats also include data for hands where you bet or raised and hands where your opponent bet or raised. Each of these is laid out by street, with data including opponent's reaction, your hand, the number of times the situation occurred, and BBs. These can help you identify holes in your game in hands involving plenty of action.

Hands where you won and lost the most number of chips are also outlined, as are hands you marked during your session. The bottom line is you'll receive a ton of data through Advanced Poker Training and, unlike playing poker regularly, you'll have the hole cards for every single player in every single hand. The amount of time it takes to develop a useful sample size, consequently, is diminished.

If you're interested in purchasing Advanced Poker Training, the service runs $19.97 for one month and $79.97 for six months. You can also view a free personalized training program based on data you enter. Visit Advanced Poker Training's website today.
