Default Re: Serious Discussion about Poker Bots, PokerTracker, HUDs, etc.

The difference between bots and PT is, you still make the decision using PT. PT doesn't tell you what to play, it tells what has been played in the past.

A Bot makes the decision.

That's definitely the difference between them, but it says little about the difference between the morality of them. If you have the information in front of you of thousands of hands parsed on thousands of players, what's the difference between you making a decision based off of that and a bot making the exact same decision based off the exact same information?

I'm glad to see more people are actually "against" PT rather than just saying PT is good, bots are bad, which is what I was saying until discussing it with my friend -- now it seems they should be hand-in-hand and categorized together. It seems the only reason PT is accepted is because it's widely used now.
