Hi, LynellHillaire
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com !
At the very beginning, you don't need much.
I found Excel very helpful when playing with odds & outs and break-even calculations, but those aren't necessary to play.
Equilab is superb for analysing equities.
I've tried all of the tools you mention except Ace Poker Drills.
I didn't keep any though, because I don't play the volume that would make them worth the effort.
I watched a coaching yesterday where tomsom87 was using Table Ninja playing 18 180-man SnGs. Such a thing would not be possible without it. I could barely keep up, and I had no decisions to make. If I played that kind of volume, I would definitely get it again.
I keep notes using the poker rooms note system -- sometimes I use Holdem Manager's system.
I use Holdem Manager 2, but nowhere near its full potential.
Best or luck,
