Re: stop whining and start competing?
The bottom line is that technically proficient players will ultimately get the biggest slice of the pie. The only reason some people claim it's unfair is because they lack the ability, drive or risk-threshold to become winning players.
It really doesn't matter what obstacles the sites may employ in an attempt to undermine certain tactics. Furthermore, it doesn't matter much what new software programs are devised. The dedicated professional will adapt to the harshest conditions.
People who don't own or utilize any software complain about Pokertracker. Those who only use Pokertracker complain about HUD's. People who run both complain about 'illegal' pay for service programs like Sharkscope. And people running legally dubious or illegal data-mining programs say bots are the "real" culprit. And those running bots say its people who run bots in 'share mode' who are the vermin of online poker. And the people running bots in 'share mode' complain about bot sweatshops. And bot sweatshop owners will say the problem is the dishonest, unregulated sites making irresponsible claims about site security.
Of course, it doesn't matter who says what. The ultimate measure of ones success is measured in terms of dollars or euros. The most successful players laugh at or simply dismiss these tantrums about 'fairness' or 'leveling the playing field.'
