    I hate playing online and refuse to do so, especially with a casino less than 15 minutes away from my home.  This is just another reason that i will add to my list.

    Well you can either invest in some tracking software of your own, or play at lesser-known sites that do not work with the tracking software.

    Why don't we run tracking software? Poker Tracker is like $50...

    Then all we have to do is flop sets, get it in, and make paper! Easy game...

    If you don't like the TAG games tracking software produces try sites that don't have tracking software.

    True Poker is the softest I know of, it's the same network as Bookmaker, DSI, and 5Dimes. Players Only has more players but doesn't pay as fast, but no tracking software there either just fishies.

    actually this is what gives you an advantage at the table

    But if you dont have it or decide not to get it then yes you are at a disadvantage

    So you wont play online because of the advantage that YOU can get by using software?  Some people it seems will find any reason to bash online because theyre not successful or cant figure it out

    We have the poster in post #1 complaining about the one thing in online poker that HELPS you and he's using it as a reason why not to play.

    Then , after poster #1 doesnt even really know (he asks if it puts u at a disadvantage) poster #2 chimes in and agrees saying thats why he plays live. So the reason he plays live is because he doesnt like being able to get an advantage.

    Just crazy crazy opinions about poker, especially online, here. So much false information and exaggerations

    Waste of a post. Hes saying that everyone can see the hands youve played and how often you see flops etc. Every player at the table can get YOUR stats....thus giving them an advantage OVER you...

    Was it that hard to figure out?

    Sp now we have another poster saying that everyone has an advantage over you cuz they can see your stats but you can also see theire, which gives you the same advantage over them therefore equalling each others advantages out so to speak.

    Yet you will still have an advantage over the people who dont use software

    Yet Train69 says I am a waste of a post then tries to talk down to me like I cant figure this stuff out when really he is the one who has not figured it out since he obv feels they have an advantage over you that you cannot attain over them, which just simply isnt true, no matter how condescending he tries to be

    Like I said, its amazing the misinformation on this poker board and the groups of people who support this misinformation
