Assuming, for the moment, that you're not trolling, I'll make one observation:

[ QUOTE ]
If you brought a device into a casino and sat at a poker table collecting information on other players on bet amounts, frequency of aggression, and so on, I guarantee that device would be confiscated or you would be escorted out of the casino. If you brought in a device that could tell you what Player A or B does in given situations because you 'recorded' his actions in a previous hand that you were not involved in, the same outcome would occur.

You do bring such a device into the B&M poker room every time you go there to play. So does every other player. It's called Your Brain.

Does the fact that some players have trained themselves to use Their Brain more efficiently than others, at least at the task of playing poker, give them an unfair advantage? I think your answer to that would be, "no." The player is simply making better (legal and ethical) use of whatever resources are available to him.

So far, I don't believe anyone has been barred from a Poker Room for using his brain. Sadly, the same cannot be said about the blackjack tables.

I believe, and I'm sure most others here do too, that a player using PokerTracker is simply making better (legal and ethical) use of the resources that are available to him than the player who chooses not to use Poker Tracker.
