The problem with calculators, it gives people a false sense of security. They can make you think you have the best hand, when you don't. Best play your game, and don't get fooled by them... I've never seen a good one for free. Do an online search, it will come up with lots....

Posted by dannycauser: Pretty much what the title says, are there any free ones? or do you have to pay, if so what one is the best/ best value for money?
Well I recently took tournament indicator. And I took it because of good offer. You make deposit on some site (I made it on Everest) and they give you licence code, then you must play 900 tournament hands on that site to unlock it for all sites, and you get lifetime licence ... I made deposit on everest and play 10cents limit holdem HU Few of those and I finished my 900 hands (you must see flop) Then I withdraw my money because I dont like that room at all. So I basically got it for free

Was curious about this myself! Glad you asked! I'll stick to the Mobsters replies, even though I'm relatively inexperienced. Still think it was a good thread! GL Mobsters!
Calculators only give the math, still have to take so many things into consideration, position,stack size, preflop/post flop play,etc.....so go with your feel. Take the calculations as bonus information and combine everything into WINNING INFO!

They should be used with a bit of discretion. i mean if it says you have a 95% hand there is still the 5% chance you are beat I used to use tourney indicator as mentioned by jovi, its decent. dont use anything anymore due to 3d client.

I haven't been using any automatic calculators by I do have my trusty Casio Fx-991ms sitting beside me at all times. I have the equations ready and drop the numbers in periodically if the call isn't obvious or I just feel like a need a little more info.
Definitely can't use the math religiously though if you want to make the big bucks.
