Premium customers will unlock access to positional awareness statistics, premium opponent statistics, the Command Center, live pot odds and street-specific statistics.īoth versions allow you access to the Jivaro online community, which is something of a social media feed for poker hands.
The free version will give you basic opponent statistics and the ability to share replays. There are two flavors of Jivaro – a free version with limited functionality and a premium version that costs just $5.99/month. Pot odds are also clearly displayed, again reducing data overload. In cash games, the Command Center presents players with their win/loss rate at the current table, table VPIP and aggression frequency. The ability to switch streets automatically and view player stats at different points in a hand was originally built into the software, but was nixed when PokerStars changed their terms of service to limit third-party functionality last year. With those details at your fingertips, you’ll no longer need to open multiple windows to find out where you stand in a tournament. In the tournament panel, you can easily get an overview of things like tournament type, winnings, places paid, number of entrants and remaining players. The Command Center is another of Jivaro’s unique features and could prove invaluable for tournament players. Also displayed are the number of hands you have on each player along with their stack size displayed in dollars and in terms of big blinds.
“While other HUDs may display more statistical data, our stats are hand-picked by professional poker players as the most relevant for players of any level,” Jivaro Marketing Director Jóhann Schröder told PocketFives.īy representing the information visually, the Heads-Up Display feature greatly reduces data load, so players can focus on playing poker instead of constantly processing rows of numbers. Voluntarily put money in pot (VPIP), pre-flop aggression (PFR) and post-flop aggression (AFq) are displayed in an innovative color-coded circular indicator. While other HUDs leave you to your own devices in configuring your data overlay, Jivaro requires no setup and displays only the most useful stats. Here, you can view your own core statistics and see a list of your most recent hands across all of your tables. The Strip appears as a window on your desktop and can be thought of as your base of operations. The software, which integrates seamlessly with PokerStars, is comprised of three main components: the Strip, Command Center and Heads-Up Display. Jivaro was built over three years by developers who wanted to create a HUD for recreational players. Now, a tool called Jivaro is aiming to take HUDs to the next level and boasts an easy-to-use interface that can be quickly understood by even those who are brand new to heads-up display software. Most HUDs, however, are not known for being user-friendly and usually require a good deal of configuration to get started.
By crunching the data produced by hand history files, software like PokerTracker and Hold’em Manager allowed players to study the game like never before and quickly gain insights about their opponents. The introduction of heads-up displays (HUDs) to online poker undoubtedly transformed the game, elevating the skill level of the competition and making the tables tougher overall to beat. Jivaro has created an easy-to-use heads-up display for online poker players of all levels
