i dont think its in the interest of current high stakes winners for this software to be available.

Sure it is! The whole idea is pretty silly, really. First, it would only be useful if, at a MINIMUM: (a) a top top LHE player did the programming, or at least all the analysis that went into the programming; and (b) you could enter lots and lots of variables (e.g., for starters, many of the stats available in PAHUD). Otherwise all you're getting is some ridiculously stylized output. This might help someone playing 2/4 but would if anything be counterproductive at 200/400 where winning more than a little is only possible with creative play that takes into account all kinds of variables, tendencies, etc., etc. Math plays only a very small part.

So go ahead. Knock yerselves out. All this will create is an army of players who can't think for themselves and will be easily exploitable.

And -- sorry if this sounds a little bit arrogant -- but that's kind of like what these forums have done. [Other than Schneids, how many very successful higher stakes (100/200+) players post real strategy on a regular basis? There's a reason for that, and the absence of that input is pretty glaring in the advice given in most threads]
