The latest developments in online poker tools include player profilers and analyzers. The profiling tools will take the playing information of your opponents and provide you with a profile of their play.

I don’t know about this tool; these profiling skills are something that a player should develop themselves without technological assistance. Becoming dependent on this tool will adversely affect your live game, I’m sure.

The analyzer tools examine the poker situation you’re in at any given time and recommend the best move for you to make. They run from $35 to $50 and are worth the cost. Once again it’s a tool you don’t want to be dependent on, but this one will teach you a lot about the game while you use it. If you keep notes on your results, and learn to recognize where you’re making mistakes, analyzers can help you plug lots of leaks in your game.
