Poker-Edge also offers a special poker-site signup promotion where the Gold Level Membership is free for 3 months across all the poker-sites that PE supports. This involves signing up for a poker website through a link provided by PE, and completing a certain amount of playing on that website. See their promotion for details:

For a complete list of all supported poker-sites... download the 5-day free trial and run it, then scan through the list of selectable poker-sites that can be launched through PE. Last I checked there were:
- PEv5 has 34 poker-sites supported (with more being added of course)
- PEv4 has 231 poker-sites supported

For ease of reference for interested parties... here are two posts about the supported poker-sites (updated occasionally):

The Lobby-Edge table finder- The easiest way to find the juiciest fish
( Lobby-Edge is also referred to as Table-Finder in PE5 )

Lobby-Edge (LE) is a cash game plug-in (additional feature) only available to current subscribers of Poker-Edge (PE) at a one-time additional cost. Once a subscriber pays for LE you must re-download the latest version of Poker-Edge, and LE will be available from the PE-Main menu.

( 1st time purchasers of PE are sometimes offered an incentive discount to purchase LE right away )

What does Lobby-Edge do?
Imagine that pokersites are lakes full of fish with many dryspots, many areas with some fish, and some areas with plenty of fish. That is... plenty of fish... most of the time. Imagine that gametype refers to type of fish, and stake level refers to where the largest of that type tend to school and spend their time.
Lobby-Edge is a fishfinder. You tell it which of the eght ilakes or several at once. You tell it the type of fish you're going for (Limit, NL, PL, full, short). You tell it if you're looking for schools of smallish (low stakes) or maybe fewer but meatier of largish (high stakes) of your type of fish.
Lobby-Edge scours your pokersite(s), for the type game you're looking for, for the stake level you choose. It then categorizes every player at those tables based on their PE stats... to come up with a list of which tables are the juiciest... which have the most fish... and it includes ratios of fish (losers) to non-fish (winners). It even lets you see a list of the players with their icons and basic stats displayed to help you in your consideration of the table. And Lobby-Edge will even open the table for you, and/or put you on the waitlist automatically... if you choose.

So - if you like to play cash games where there are lots of fish...
Lobby-Edge is the FishFinder of choice. (Now with new BuddyList!)

[dmpokerplayer]

BuddyList - a new feature of the Lobby-Edge plugin! (no additional cost)

You can now:
• Add individuals and groups for specific poker-sites
• Right click on a player name from the Poker-Edge Lookup window, or from the LobbyEdge Table Finder window, and add them to your BuddyList automatically.
• Right click a buddy on the BuddyList to add notes for them.
• See exactly where they are the next time you play (all tables they're playing on), and help get you seated at that table or tables instantly.
• Click on any name in the BuddyList and his stats will show up in the Main window.
• See when Buddies start playing... on pokersites you aren't even currently logged into!

Find BuddyList in the "File" menu in the PE Main window, there is also another link to open BuddyList in the lower right corner of the LobbyEdge window.
If you have not yet purchased LobbyEdge, Buddylist will show you 8 random buddies across multiple poker-sites as a "demo"...but you cannot add buddies.

Examples of use:

Example 1: (easy setup) You can add fish and friends to BuddyList. When they're offline they'll show up in the Offline group. As each sits down at a table, in realtime, Buddylist will move them out of the Offline group to the Buddies group (the default online group). And as each quits playing (at any tables) BuddyList will, in realtime, move them back to the Offline group. So you'll know which of your BuddyList entries are playing, and where they're playing... and what all tables they're playing at... at any given time... in realtime.
How cool is that?

Example 2: (more organized) You could also create multiple groups like:
• Bodog Friends
• Bodog Fish
• FullTilt Friends
• FullTilt Fish
Then as you add new "buddies" to BuddyList you specify which group they belong in. With it setup this way... As each sits down at a table, Buddylist will move them out of the Offline group to the group you've assigned for each. So you'll have a better idea of who's currently online on the poker-site you're currently playing on, or a pokersite you're thinking about logging into... all in realtime of course. This also allows you to collapse BuddyList groups you aren't currently concerned about, nice when the lists get a little bigger.

Example 3: (Group by Icons) So you specifically want to play against CallingStations. You could create many specialized BuddyList groups (for each of your poker-sites)... like:
• FullTilt Friends
• FullTilt BigMoneyLosers
• FullTilt Maniac Icons
• FullTilt Mouse Icons
• FullTilt CallingStation Icons
Then as you add new "buddies" to BuddyList you specify which Icon group they belong in. With it setup this way... you'd always know when a CallingStation you've seen before sits down. And make sure to find them all by doing several searches in LobbyEdge at the beginning of the night, each time expand the tables in the list to show the players icons... and mark the players with the icons you care about as belonging to that specific BuddyList Icon group. Then you could find the types of players you like to play against in a flash.
Like shooting CallingStations in a barrel...

Oops, gotta go... My two most favorite CallingStations just sat down at the same table!
Thank you Buddy List...
