poker tracker ruining online poker

[OnlinePro]

Poker tracker is ruining online poker, people are no longer playing poker they are dong their math homework. Lets not even mention how badly it slows down the game. The main point is not the time is the fact that players that use this have an unfair advantage against players that do not use the tracker. Shouldnt this be banned ? Please post your thoughts

I happen to disagree with your your general premise... and in addition I think it speeds the game up as we can quickly look at some numbers rather than to try and remember how villian has played hands in a the past.

But I don't see why you should be concerned with PT at all - if you think it's a problem then why not just play at some of the many many many sites which are not PT compatable?

[Webster]

The best sites on the net are the ones that do not allow PT. I think PT is great as it makes everybody play the big sites and leaves the best games alone.

Playing 5/10 at 45% flops is wonderful on the smaller networks that do not have PT. There are places where 15/30 games are still 45%.

I have PT and think it's great but a lot of people are becoming dependent on it and used it poorly for reading players.

Remember - it only tells you what players have done in the past and not what they are doing now.

It's not ruining the game at all.

If you want to play online poker, you need to accept it for what it is.

1. You have little idea who (or what) you are playing against
2. You could be playing against more than one player
3. Your opponent could be using all kinds of analysis / tracking / spy software
4. You can make no use of physical tells

etc etc etc

Nobody is forcing you to do it. If you dont like it, you two choices:

1. Dont play
2. Adjust accordingly

[IronFly]

Poker tracker is the equivalent of picking up on tells and patterns in a live game, I don't think it "ruins" the game at all. If you are playing someone who is reacting to your stats you can always play off that, just like in a live situation.

Play somewhere that Pokertracker and HUD's don't work - like 100% rakeback World Poker Exchange.
