I use a 15" screen to play poker. Other people by 2 20" screens. Are these people cheating? They definitely have an advantage over me. The reason ITS NOT cheating is because it's available to everyone, just as tracking software is. Personally I don't use it but that's because I'm lazy. I really should but I just don't play that much anymore.
It's like saying a sports person cheats because he/she has better boots, a better bike, better clubs, even a better swim suit! They all have access to these.
Do you use a mouse or a touchpad? I can't p[lay with the touchpad, so I feel like I'm cheating using a mouse, it gives me an advantage.
Case closed.
????? strange reply madv...have u read the whole thread?? does ur 15 inch monitor, or your mouse ever do your maths or decision making for you? does ur mouse or monitor count millions of hands and tell u what kind of player u r up against? does ur opponent know that u r using this bollox against him?
now if that isnt gaining an unfair advantage, then i don't know what is
Define "unfair advantage". My mouse doesn't do maths, but it gives me a (very)slight advantage over someone without one. Are you defining it as something that gives 10% advantage, 20%, 30%. I know you can't answer this as it's immeasurable. What is measurable, however, is something you can do, that is either a) not permitted by the site, or b) something that others can't with enough energy/effort/money.
If you don't see the analogy then my post will mean nothing. And yes, I've read the entire thread. Unfortunately, I'm open to new thoughts and explanations, some may not be.
