Great winrates there Limey. Are you mostly playing Omaha? (O8 or PLO? 6max or FR).

All programs that are intended for use with online poker software should be banned while playing IMO. Stats after the fact are OK but even then if people are disseminating that information collected on players they've played against to all other players online through a website or software app, it's use should be banned completely. Nobody should be able to keep track of your playing information except other players manually with pen or pencil. It's bad enough that poker online on computers seems "predictably unpredictable" as I once saw someone type at FTP.

I don't condone the use of HandHistory sharing sites or datamining BUT I have nothing against the use of stat. tracking software (ie. PT3, HEM, Poker Office). Correct me if I'm wrong but are you including all of these as well (in programs you feel should be banned)?
Pen or pencil? So do you mean if I'm playing 6 tables of 6max, I should draw up the tables w players on paper & add my notes on there? I'm pretty sure you'd be in the minority on that one. Maybe they should have sites where you can only play on one table at a time too?
I actually don't use PT3 (for some reason my computer (a brand new 4GB puter) started to lag like crazy once I downloaded a free trial of PT3. Too bad because I was really, really, really digging it. There's alot of info. available to those using these programs and being kinda of puter illiterate I just didn't have the patience to determine what was causing the lag problems... sigh... maybe I'll get someone to help me out with it.

Omaha PL mostly, used to play 08 but it's too crazy and frustrating now. 08 gave me a good grasp on PL though, I think much better than Hold 'em players trying their luck at Omaha, easy to spot (they're the one's getting all excited over 2 pair). I played a $3 tourney 460 people the other day and I have never seen anything like it, People pushing with top pair and expecting it to be good and hold up . First tourney I've played in a good 6months, I was pretty much shortstacked and limped into the money, top 54, managed to limp all the way to 25th. Was alot of fun watching the bad beats and all the after the play was over ranting and raving in the chat window. Might try that again. If FR=9seats then yes, that's all I play
