I saw that Bluffware recently went into beta and figured I would give it a try. Bluffware is a free hand history analyzer created by Beanie. The basic idea behind the site is once you create an account you will be able to post your online poker hand histories. For each hand history posted it creates a youtube type page where you can replay the hand, leave comments as well as rate the hand.
I created an account and got the username Poker. I am not much of a poker player and didn’t have any saved hand histories to post so I figured I would play at Full Tilt Poker and accumulate a a few. I multi-tabled at the nosebleed blinds of .25/.50 playing No Limit Hold-em and pretty soon had some hands to post.
It was a little confusing posting the hand history because the Post A Hand button looks more like a header rather then a button. Though, once I got over that hurdle I was able to post hands and it was a smooth process. When you are uploading a hand history you have the option to make it public or keep it private which is nice feature for people that want to analyze the hand without sharing it with the world.
Overall I thought Bluffware was a good hand history replayer and I think poker players will find it useful. I really like the youtube type page but was confused on how to use the Session Notes that are on each hand history page. I edited it on one hand thinking it was a place for the poster to put commentary on the hand but it then showed up on all of my hands…so I dunno. It was really nice visualizing the hand and having a way to keep my hand histories. When I play poker it’s not to make money so it’s nice having something to brag or in most cases tilt about after a poker session.
Bluffware.com also allows you to embed the hands anywhere including your blog…And with that…lets watch some hand replays. Also, notice how you can expand the table to full screen, it’s a nice touch.
