Recently, the popular poker tracking and analysis program Holdem Manager announced that it had added a free 30-day trial of Table Ninja to its suite of products. The change took effect on January 20th.

Table Ninja, available for PokerStars, consists of hotkeys that players can use to play more effectively online. Shortcuts for common actions like checking, betting, folding, calling, and raising exist within the program, making multi-tabling on the world’s largest online poker site a breeze. Other functions affect table controls and opening and closing sit and go and cash game tables. The creators of Table Ninja recently released TableNinjaFT for Full Tilt Poker, the world’s second largest online poker site. Playing more tables, of course, means larger profits for solid grinders.

PokerSoftware.com, which lists the price of Table Ninja for PokerStars at $35, called the program “the best efficiency/productivity add-on software that money can buy for PokerStars players.” TableNinjaFT is currently free and the software review site explains, “Although it may not have as many features as its PokerStars counterpart, the fact that it is free is a major selling point.” Members of PokerSoftware.com have rated TableNinjaFT the highest of the 50-plus programs reviewed at 4.73 out of 5.00. Table Ninja for PokerStars is the 11th highest rated program, coming in at 4.07.

In a press release distributed by Holdem Manager officials, PokerStars Supernova Elite member “Actaru5” commented on the importance of using Table Ninja on the virtual felts: “It’s the best engineered poker software I have ever seen… I honestly can no longer imagine playing without Table Ninja.” Poker staking site Part Time Poker described Table Ninja as follows: Table Ninja makes “the multi-tabling experience a smoother, more enjoyable, and likely more profitable affair.”

Table Ninja will be offered in Holdem Manager’s suite of products and a free 30-day trial will become part of the program. In addition, customer support staff for Holdem Manager will provide the same function for Table Ninja. As expected, Holdem Manager officials were elated at the prospects of adopting Table Ninja. The press release explained, “Everyone at Hold’em Manager is excited to add TableNinja to the Holdem Manager platform as a part of our ongoing mission to provide our customers with world class poker analytics software.”

Holdem Manager runs $55 for a Small-Stakes Edition and $80 for the Professional version. It is one of two programs that pace the tracking and analysis market, with PokerTracker being its main competitor. Holdem Manager’s Heads-Up Display (HUD) overlays right on top of a table, allowing players to note key stats about their competition in real-time, like the percent of time opponents voluntarily put money into the pot, make continuation bets, and fold to 3bets. Graphs within Holdem Manager make trending a breeze and a built-in hand replayer shows the HUD’s stats.

Companion programs to Holdem Manager include Omaha Manager, Table Scanner, and Leak Buster. Omaha Manager provides the same tracking and analysis capabilities for Omaha as Hold’em, helping customers excel in the rapidly-growing game. Table Scanner offers stats on those seated at a table to allow lobby surfers to find the juiciest ones or those that suit them best. Finally, Leak Buster does exactly what its name implies; it analyzes your game to find holes. To date, the software suite lacked an AutoHotKey (AHK) component, which now comes in the form of Table Ninja.

Table Ninja was officially introduced into Holdem Manager on January 20th. Stay tuned to Poker News Daily for the latest poker software news.
