Default Re: Is almost all poker software advertised on the net a scam?

[ QUOTE ]
thank you very much.

But, being a newbie, i might still profit from these programs? I read a couple of boobks (lee jones, holdem for advanced players), so i don't think i need software advice on hand rankings pre-flop or post-flop play.

But eg. instant pot odds calculation would come in helpful. If i got it right (eg in the dollartob-thread) this is a controversial issue and it might get the software banned. Is the legality the only problem or are there other hangups with pot-odds-calculating software?

I think in the end you'll find that working out your pot odds is almost automatic, and so is counting/discounting your outs (the hard bit IMO). But yes, as a complete newbie it may help, but I would suggest just playing 1 table and getting the practice in until it becomes automatic.
