This poker software scans cash tables by table characteristics and then drills down to let you see the stats of particular players from with your database stats attached to create an instant profile as well.

This great piece of software has some rather exciting and well thought out features. For instance you can scan multiple poker sites and make use of multiple database scanning on your hard drive. When you do see a table within this software, TableScan Turbo will add you automatically to a waiting list, rather than opening the table from the poker site.
The checklist feature is conveniently located and keeps tabs on only the tables you might be interested in.

This is the main screen for TableScan Turbo.

You can also select the level buy-in level you want to target so you can zero in on tables withing your bankroll. TableScan Turbo also has a filter called "My Open Tables", and you can just check only that filter and set it to autoscan and the poker software will automatically scan only your open tables at your selected interval. So when a waiting list table pops up, TST will update the list and you can very quickly find the new table and check if it still meets your conditions.

Poker software review quotes:

Online poker hasn't really been around for too long, maybe a decade or so, but as soon as it was, clever programmers were thinking about designing poker tools that could not only produce a winning edge for a player, but stretch the meaning of fair play.

Well the best poker software tools have survived an era of audacious claims made by many fly-by-nighters. Poker software like Poker Tracker, Holdem Manager and Tournament Indicator have achieved real staying and power market share largely due to following the rules set out by online poker rooms such as Full Tilt Poker and Poker Stars, yet they have displayed evidence of creating clear advantages for those who use the tracking software.
