UNIQUE WEB-BASED APPLICATION PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE RECORD KEEPING AND ANALYSIS FOR POKER PLAYERS

PokerCharts (www.PokerCharts.com) allows avid poker players to track their personal performance against opponents for all of their sessions-online, casino, tournaments or home games.

Poker players have an increasing awareness that record keeping and analysis of performance are critical to successful playing. Noted poker professionals, authors and columnists repeatedly advocate the concept of record keeping as a way to measure overall success and recognize patterns that will improve play. However, there have been very few tools available to keep such records both thoroughly and conveniently. The PokerCharts application seeks to fill that void.

PokerCharts is a free, web-based application that allows users to track session-over-session performance by logging in from any web browser and simply inputting variables such as location, game variation, betting structure, cash-in, buy-out and opponent notes. The application keeps a running tab of important performance statistics, such as win rate, standard deviation, and win rate accuracy. All of this data is richly displayed through various graphs and a console-like user interface. Users can easily filter the graphs and statistics by date, location and other variables.

"I used to keep my results in a spreadsheet," said Carter Jackson, a regular poker player and frequent user of the site, "until my hard drive crashed and I lost two years of data. Now I just fire up a web browser and post my results. The depth of the stats tracked and charts to choose from are far more effective than the spreadsheet anyway."

PokerCharts is entirely web-based-there is no download required. Registration is free, secure and anonymous-only a valid email address is required to register-ensuring complete convenience and privacy for users of the application. The operation of the site is supported through advertising.

PokerCharts was originally designed and developed as a side project by the Poker enthusiasts at SB Technologies, a developer of internet, intranet and extranet solutions for small and medium sized businesses. After rave reviews from friends and family using the application, the developers decided to open it to the public. The PokerCharts website is located at http://www.PokerCharts.com.
