Poker Software Revealed with Kissemiss 1

We sat down with 25-year-old Swedish recreational player Kissemiss 1 to get his thoughts about poker software.  Kissemiss 1 primarily enjoys playing lower limit tournaments on PokerStars.

PokerSoftware:  What poker-related software do you use?
 
Kissemiss 1:  I currently use the Poker Copilot HUD while playing.
 
PokerSoftware:  How do you like Poker Copilot in general?  Have you tried any other software in the past?
 
Kissemiss 1:  I find that it is helping me a lot, both while playing and after.  However, I don't have anything to compare it to. I tried to install the Mac version of PokerTracker 4 as well, but had problems syncing my poker client software to it for some reason.  I am not very technically skilled, so at the end of the day I just went with the easiest option.
 
PokerSoftware:  What do you like the best about Poker Copilot?  How useful is the software to you while playing?
 
Kissemiss 1:  In addition to the software making reviewing hand histories easy and helping me keep track on my opponents' way of playing while playing,  I really like that it keeps track on the way I am playing.  As an example, the software shows me from which positions I am more active, so I can analyze my game and get better.  The software helps me answer questions I have about my game including, "Do I defend too wide?" and "Maybe I should steal more often?" The poker software helps me answer these and other questions that I continuously ask myself.
 
PokerSoftware:  Is there anything you don't like about Poker Copilot?
 
Kissemiss 1:  I don't know if the other programs are any different, but I would really like the HUD to adapt to the structure of the tournament being played.  For example, during a 3x turbo rebuy, it might not be spewy to have a high VPIP or shove ace-ten offsuit from early position since it is just adapting to the structure.  It does annoy me to have my own HUD labeling me as a fish because I am adjusting to the dynamics of the structure.
 
PokerSoftware:  Which HUD stats do you tend to use the most often?
 
Kissemiss 1:  It depends on where we are in the hand, but I look at VPIP compared to pre-flop raise a lot.  I also tend to look at 3-bet, c-bet, and blind steal attempts statistics, as these help me get a picture about a particular opponent's game in general.
 
PokerSoftware:  Have you tried playing poker on a mobile device?
 
Kissemiss 1:  Yes, I have played on the iPhone PokerStars app during a very long flight, but I wouldn't recommend it.  I found it tricky to multi-table and to find the right bet-sizing.  However, I feel it is very good that the app exists as a backup for when internet fails you in the middle of a multi-table tournament.
