Re: Internet Poker... doomed from Day 1

For one, you could not create a program that can find through stats exactly what an opponent holds.

Exact hands? No.
What if I were to tell you that there are programs that can sift through 10s of thousands of mined hands on a player and spit out his range of hands on any given street? Also, just like a HUD, the sites have no clause directly prohibiting this program. Do you have a problem with it now?
What if I were to tell you that there are programs that can take the range that was spit out by the program above and display proper counter strategies to that range (like displaying "call 22%, raise 54%, fold24%")? Also, like the range program and HUDs, the sites have no clause directly prohibiting this program. Do you have a problem with it yet?
What if I were to tell you that programs like these DO exist, but we haven't found them yet because the owners/users don't feel like telling us about them -- just like we don't feel like telling the fish about the software we use? Got a problem with it YET?
Try to think outside the box before telling people they are using slippery slopes and straw mans. There's damn good reason to be concerned because the programs I mentioned DO exist. Maybe you don't see the problem yet, but I'm sure you will one day.

If I believe a program that PP deems legal and I don't agree with it (such as say they allowed hacking a computer to see your cards) I would leave the site.

What if neither you, nor the site, know about that program? Is ignorance really bliss?
