odds calculators… helpful? or cheating?

[Se7enTwo]

I'll admit as a new player I do use Holdem Indicator but not just for Win Odds/Pot Odds(which I still dont fully understand).
I like that fact that it continues to show my hole cards after a fold....(a big flaw in UBs software)(although I guess if you've folded it doesn't really matter)
It's also nice to see what you & your opponent "could" have by the river after a flop.

It will also keep track of your ring games & tournament stats separately (hands/vpip/pfr/af/wsd/wsdw)
For some reason I'm slightly loose/passive in ring games/ but tight/passive/solid in tournaments.....so just having that kind of output towards my play is worth it to me.

It also shows when you have the absolute nuts [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So as a fellow new player I can recommend it (or something similar)
It surely doesn't play for you so I don't consider it "cheating"
