StarsCaption review
StarsCaption is a program from the Caption series, designed to simplify the gameplay on PokerStars (Full Tilt Poker). Its main task is not to calculate the statistics or analyze the leaks, but to make the game process as comfortable as possible in the poker room.
The detailed instruction on StarsCaption installation and its setting-up is in the material “888caption. Program review for the play in 888 poker-room”, since the process of installation and set-up is identical for both programs (as it is for PartyCaption).
