Your hand and win percent: The middle section displays your hand rang (pair, trips etc), your total outs and the associated hands which you are drawing to (if any). The current nuts hand is shown as well. Most importantly, your win percent is calculated and shown with the horizontal bar at the bottom. The win percent will be recalculated each time an opponent folds or another card falls. This information will give you a supreme edge in the game.

Hand reading and Improvements: Place the mouse over the hand distribution area on the left side of the sniffer, and the possible hands will be shown in a tooltip. Because it would be too confusing to show one pair and high card hands, this hand reading feature only shows poker hands from two pair and above. On the right side is pictured your improvements, wich is the percent chance you have of hitting anything that will improve your hand on the next card to fall. This includes cards which may also improve the table. In the case pictured you have about 17% chance that the next card will give you a straight.

Hand Groups: Move the mouse over hand label to see a complete list of all Sklansky hand groups. In general, a hand not in any group should not be played unless you can check and see a free flop (big blind position).

Expected Value: The term Expected Value (EV) of a Texas Holdem poker hand refers to the expected worth of that hand played over time. PokerSniffer displays your total EV as illustrated. You can also move the mouse over this value to see the EV according to your position. The unit for this EV is average profit in big bets. If you are playing at a $3/$6 table, and are dealt pocket kings, their EV is (1.67 x $6 big bet) = $10.02. If the EV value is less than zero, the hand will lose money in the long run.

Preflop hands (first two cards)

* Group 1: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs

* Group 3: 99, JTs, QJs, KJs, ATs, AQ

A general advice would be to only play Group 1-2 in early position, add Group 3-4 in middle position and maybe add Group 5-8 in late position.
