I disagree with you Playa. All online players can have access to PT. Just because u don't know about it or can't afford it or choose not to use it, it's not anyone else's fault. It's like if I were at B&M and I wear sunglasses because I don't want people to get reads off me or so that I can see other people without them knowing I anm studying them......is that unethical? Everyone has access to sunglasses but not everyone chooses to use them. I know LOTS of people who have PT but still cannot win because their level of understanding of the game is not high enough to allow them to make the best possible decisions even with PT stats.

I've seen people at B&M take notes with notepads and pen.....is that unethical?

By your logic, someone who has a photgraphic memory is exploiting those who do not.I don't have photographic memory and so someone who does, has information not available to me.

And the rules of online poker allows for programs like PT....so it's case closed. They don't allow datamining anymore (Party)but still allow PT so that tells u that it is not unethical. I guess it's like steroids in sports....if MLB says steroids are allowed, then it's not cheating. If they say it's not allowed and a player uses it, then it's cheating. We're just playing by the rules.
