VP Training Software
Because it also prints a strategy, Frugal is best with Winpoker also
great, but you also have to buy Strategy Master.

A little clarification as to Winpoker, Frugal, and VPSM. Winpoker
will correctly grade and monitor your play of specific hands, but it
has NO capability for generating a strategy chart.
Frugal also grades/monitors play (and is, IMO, a little more user-
friendly than Winpoker), and can generate a "reasonably accurate"
strategy chart. Which does NOT consider penalty cards; resulting in
a fairly-small but not insignificant loss in expected return.
VPSM is the ONLY package, of which I am aware, which can generate a
highly-accurate strategy chart--considering penalty cards. As a
consequence, its strategy charts tend to have about twice as many
entries as those created by Frugal. VPSM does have "a few" minor
inaccuracies--resulting in a loss of ER on some relatively-
infrequent hands--but the actual dollars lost do not tend to be
significant.
At least IMO, it IS worthwhile to master the more commonly
encountered penalty-card situations . .

It generates a very accurate strategy chart.

Actually, for most games, it is quite insignificant - the return remains the same up to two decimal points. For instance: 9/6 JB return with FVP strategy still = 99.54%, FPDW still = 100.76%, 10/7 DB = 100.17%, NSU = 99.73%, 10/6 DDB= 100.07% and so on. Most games have to go to the third decimal to make any difference. Compared to the differences in cashback and other items, this is microscopic. The time it takes to learn penalty card situations can be more profitably spent looking for loose change. Or practing a cleaner, leaner strategy so that one can play it more accurately.
