Message: [QUOTE="NCfoldem, post: 1539976, member: 67240"] I used to think it was cheating. Now I just think it lacks style. They are tools used to maximize profit (more likely to reduce losses for most players at the very most). It's all about the science of poker but has nothing to do with the art of poker. Also, the random nature of the cards (or at least random to us, if you're a conspiracy theorist), makes tracking software much less effective. It only helps to know if your opponent is a calling station if he doesn't outflop you for example. But lots of times he will, despite the odds, despite your tracking prediction. I think it's far more effective to play the person not the person's statistics. You can get reads online, a bit more difficult, but getting a good read on an opponent in real time at your present table, will be more helpful to your game than a pile of stats. Just my opinion of course, but they seem to be most helpful in finding leaks in your own game. [/QUOTE]
