Juk, I think we are in the minority here.

I get the feeling most people think it is perfectly okay to use any and all software as long as the 'player' clicks the mouse himself.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not against all tools for online poker - far from it (or else I wouldn't spend so much time in the forum!).

I just think when you get to the stage of presenting a user with EV_Fold=$2.34 and EV_Call=$1.22, then it's gone too far... Poker, like chess, is a game of thinking and if you totally remove the thought aspect then what's left?

When playing online chess/backgammon it's considered cheating to use an engine to advise you, so where's the difference here?
