FlopTurnRiver.com (FTR), one of the premiere online destinations for free<br>poker advice, reviews, and poker tools, continues to build on its varied<br>list of free features with the release of the FTR Tournament Trimmer.<br>FlopTurnRiver sets itself apart from its competition by focusing on building<br>a fun, friendly, yet highly skilled poker community, all for free. The new<br>FTR Tournament Trimmer is the latest addition to FlopTurnRiver&#39;s free set of<br>poker tools, offering a simple and intuitive method of reviewing the entire<br>history of an online poker tournament. Reviewing the play history of an<br>online poker tournament can be very tedious and tiresome, especially if it<br>is a large multi-table tournament spanning several hours. Reading the online<br>poker hand histories from such a tournament is almost impossible, making it<br>very difficult to analyze one&#39;s own play or someone else&#39;s play. The idea<br>behind the FTR Tournament Trimmer is to simplify the long tournament hand<br>histories into something digestible, that can be read, shared, and posted in<br>poker discussion forums, like the FTR Poker Forum. The Tournament Trimmer<br>was developed by FTR&#39;s own long time member, JeffreyGB. This tournament hand<br>history converter condenses meaningless hands where our hero simply folds.<br>The hands are condensed into a single line of text - quickly showing the<br>cards, the action, and our hero&#39;s M value (M Value is the ratio of the<br>user&#39;s stack to the initial pot. This is calculated by dividing the user&#39;s<br>stack by the sum of blinds and antes - the inital pot). The hands that our<br>hero does get involved with are then displayed in full detail. The FTR<br>Tournament Trimmer currently supports PokerStars, Full Tilt, and Party<br>Poker.
