In return, I’ll give you a link to a Poker Odds Simulator. It’s at

[http://www.pokerstove.com/pokerstove/](http://www.pokerstove.com/pokerstove/)

But wait!

Did I tell you it’s free.?

And if you hit the linky right now, you can read more on the thing, click to the FAQ and download, all on the same page!

What exactly are you asking **Barnowl**? Are you asking which site has the best client software to play online or something else?

Just some Texas Hold 'em software—ideally, free and from any web source you can come up with. The software could be an aid in playing, like a Sniffer or whatever you can come up with.

The Simulator I linked you to, comes compliments of Tony Guerrera. In his book **Killer Poker by the Numbers** , Mr. G. says he regularly uses it.

Don’t knock yourself out with dumb thread. If you can offer something, fine. If not, that’s ok, too.
