Marty Smith is has discussed poker calculators and bankroll management on his software review website extensively. He also offers free tournament video tutorials for winning with poker calculators on MZoneReport.com
A poker calculator can help keep your strategy in check by constantly reminding you of hands and pots that you really shouldn't be involved in. Normally a poker calculator is going to keep you on the tight-aggressive corner of the profile grid, and that's never usually a bad thing be it tournament or ring games.
Most poker calculators have some basic functions that refer to your pot odds and strength of your hole cards. These factors alone can help remind you of how bad a hand like J9os or A7os can really be, especially when confronted with aggression. Any mathematical poker calculator will offer up this kind of information but an empirical poker calculator like Holdem Indicator or Tournament Indicator give you so much more.
While building your bankroll there will invariably be times when you can't play straight up or have to put a read on an opponent that isn't necessarily base on your hole card strength. You need some intuitive assistance here, and as you likely don't have much of that at a bankroll building stage you can absolutely use the features the two tools offer up profiling information as well.
Even as a beginner player you need to start profiling your opponents or you will certainly be leaving money on the table. Some players say this is the hardest aspect of poker but by having a poker calculator on every table monitoring your opponents you are soon going to be able to recognize which players you can makes moves on, which you should call down with marginal hands and which should simply be avoided most of the time.
Now as far as bankroll building goes, your poker calculator will offer up the very best situations to be in a hand. This usually relates to pot sizes and hole card strength but combine those features with profiling and tournament structure decisions you are going to be on the right end of most decisions by taking your time and making good decisions.
Does it always work out? No of course not, but by making good decisions with all of the information in front you, you will invariably be nudge ahead of your opponents by building your bankroll and your skill set at the same time. Using "empirical" poker calculator software is the key to progressing your knowledge, decisions making and online bankroll.
