If you got Android mobile in your pocket and you like to play live poker with your friends, here are two small apps that might come in handy. These are both free to use and they can be downloaded from Android Market.
CJ Poker Odds Calculator
This is a very simplified, small and fast to use calculator for Texas Hold ‘Em odds. The app can calculate odds for 2-10 players in a texas hand and you can leave some of the cards unknown. There is a selection for the speed of the calculations and you can choose from Fast, Default Speed (Balanced Accuracy) and Slow (High Accuracy). If you’ve ever wondered during live poker games the odds of the hand just played or just want to look up some probabilities – this is a must have.

Ultimate Holdem Timer
This timer is easy to use and there is a FAQ section at the start for instructions. All blind structures and times are fully customizable and you can have sounds reminding you of the next level that is about to begin. You can pre-define and store up to five different tournament structures that you can use and get your home games running in no time.
Cool addition is that you can use your own custom image at the backgroud of your tournament timer. It’s still missing some features though. Player stacks, average stack sizes and the prizepool are not shown. You still have to keep up with the rebuys and the prizepool manually while using this app for the blinds.
