On Monday I unveiled the new hold’em pot equity calculator that supports hand ranges. Today I added a feature that lets you weight your hand ranges, making the tool a whole lot more flexible. To weight a range, simply add a colon plus an integer between 1 and 100 after your range unit. From the [...]

A year ago today I wrote the first post on Noted Poker Authority. Since that first post, I’ve written 262 more, including 90 Q&As, numerous other articles, and the most popular series on NPA, 7 Easy Steps to No-Limit Hold’em Success. Lately I’ve been concentrating more on developing software on the site, adding a poker [...]

A week and a half ago, I announced that I was adding some poker simulation tools to NPA. The first tool I added was a pot equity calculator that calculates pot equity for six different games: Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha/8, Stud, Stud/8, and Razz. The downside to this tool is that you have to specify the [...]

NotedPokerAuthority.com is almost one year old! The first post was made on October 16, 2006, so NPA’s birthday is next Tuesday. I wasn’t sure exactly how the site would work out when I started doing Q&As a year ago, but today I have to say that it’s been a success well beyond what I expected. [...]

I’m adding some poker tools to NPA. The first one, a simple equity calculator, is ready to use. It’s presently fairly bare-bones, but I plan to add more features to it in the future. I have some other tools in mind, but if you have any you’d like to see, let me know in the [...]

There will be some downtime for maintenance tonight, August 17th, and possibly tomorrow morning as well. Shouldn’t be a big deal.

This morning I upgraded the site software to the newest version. I noticed that some of the characters in some posts got corrupted, so I’m guessing there may be a few glitches here and there. If you see anything that looks weird, please leave a comment here with a link to the offending post.

Last week I offered a contest for three free copies of the new book Bigger Deal by Anthony Holden.   Congrats to the winners of that contest: threads13 Mike Improv Thanks to everyone for participating on the site, and stay tuned for more similar contests in the future.

Simon & Schuster was kind enough to hook me up with three copies of the new poker narrative, Bigger Deal by Anthony Holden. I’m going to give all three copies away to three of my faithful readers. (One of them, unfortunately, is slightly worn from my read-through.)   I’ll post some of my thoughts about [...]
