Phosix, I've heard you say this quite often, and I agree that any good poker player doesn't NEED PT, but really, if you haven't tried it, how do you know it can't add a slight edge?

That being said, I'm going to voice a big PT complaint. After 80 hands, an AF factor of .8 means absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! In my experience, the only stats that are meaningful after that small of a small are the really huge ones, because they more accurately assess looseness and agressiveness because the player already in 80 hands has had multiple opportunities to do so. (In other words 52/24/3.5 might tell you something, though still be very inaccurate) But deciding if a player is weak tight, tight agressive, loose passive, you'd be better off just watching them closely, and just don't look at their 12/2/.6 or whatever over 100 hands. They could be a TAG who has just been dealt 100 mostly crappy hands and been unable to push any edges. I'm definitely venting here, but I think in this hand, there were some great strategic arguments about whether to call down or not, but I dismiss all of them that use the stats. I'm just asking that people try to be realistic.
