Do you need a serious Texas Holdem strategy app to help improve your skills at the game? iHoldemStrategy discusses the core strategies needed to become a winning Holdem player. At the same time, it provides you with the tools you need to make smart decisions in live poker games.

Combining solid theory with practical advice, the strategy section focuses on two broad themes: (1) understanding the math behind Holdem and (2) exploiting weaknesses in your opponents play. Specific topics include:

-Pot odds
-Implied odds / reverse implied odds
-Starting hand selection
-Pre-flop raising
-Exploiting position
-Continuation bet bluffing
-Adjusting to opponents play styles
-Playing deceptively

The tools section includes the following:

-Common flop odds chart. What are your odds of flopping a flush draw? Trips? Two-pair? Nothing?
-Starting hands chart
-Outs chart. With 8 outs on the flop, what are the odds of improving your hand by the turn or river?
-Hand rankings
-Common pre-flop hand matchups. How does AK fair against an underpair? Dont waste time with an odds calculator when the most common matchups are listed here.

Whatever your current skill level, iHoldemStrategy is guaranteed to make you a better poker player. While there is always luck in poker, remember that, in the long run, the players with the best strategies always win.

Latest reviews of iHold'em Strategy app for iPhone and iPad

Not worth 2$
Everything in this app can be found on any poker site.
Well worth it.
I am very satisfied with this app. The strategy section was well-written and gave me plenty to think about. I am an average Holdem player with decent experience, yet the app still covered aspects of the game that I had never even considered before. The tools section was also very helpful. In fact I had several leaks in my game because of poor mathematical assumptions, which, fortunately, the odds charts were able to expose. Also, the interface is clean and visually appealing. Ultimately, for $1.99, this app was easily worth the money.
Worst app ever
What a waste of money. I could have gotten all of this info online for free. No training, just a bunch of text. What a scam
Great strategy app
First of all let me say that I am skeptical of any apps I buy--I have had bad experiences with lazily developed apps that simply copied information from Wikipedia. Fortunately, iHoldemStrategy is nothing like these other apps. The strategy section is engaging and easy to follow, and the strategy topics build on each other instead of acting like a big glossary of info. The best part of the app is the odds charts, however. During live poker games I can discreetly view the charts on my iPhone and use them to make better plays. Ive only been caught doing this once, but thankfully my poker buddies were more impressed than angry! To sum things up, if you have some knowledge of Holdem and are looking to take your game to the next level, buy this app. You wont be disappointed.
Great app for beginners
This app may not be the most polished or in depth poker strategy guide out there, but its succinct and will improve your game. It really teaches you the mathematics behind poker which may be hard to comprehend for math haters but its made easy thanks to their helpful charts. The language may be a bit hard to understand if youve never played poker before but if youre a regular then you shouldnt have a problem with it. If youre looking to compete in a major poker tournament then youre probably better off buying some books written by professionals. But if youre the kind of person who just likes to play against friends then this app is well worth the $2 price tag; you will earn the money back quickly at your next poker night.
