outsider13 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I don't know if it's been posted but effective 5/21/08, Pokerstars banned the use of ICM calculators during game play.Quoted from here - There are some programs which have legitimate uses for analysing your game, but which are not appropriate for use during play. For example, ICM (Independent Chip Model) and Nash Equilibrium tools may be used for post-game analysis and for studying hands which you have previously played. However, you may not use such a tool while the PokerStars software is open.SSome examples of programs which are prohibited only while PokerStars is running are: 1. Insight Poker Hound 2. Sit n’ Go End Game Tools 3. SitnGo Wizard 4. SNG Power Tools 5. Spade ICM 6. STT Analyzer by PokerSoftwareToolsThis list was last updated May 21st 2008. Link to post Share on other sites
Poker Addict 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think this is silly.But I just got end game tools and I am not good enough to use it while playing anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I've never used software aids while playing. This may be why my results suck ass, but it'll help me in the long run...I hope.Stop using software to help you win, you fags. Link to post Share on other sites

That is robot-gay.Disagree completely.But I also don't play 4 to 6 tables live either.Online and Live are two different games. And I also disagree that using software will not help your live game. It helps you recognize certain player types, situations, etc... Which you can take to your live game. It's also a lot easier to spot those players and what they are doing live because the pace is slower and you should have less distractions. Link to post Share on other sites
Acid_Knight 2 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I lost PT when my last hd effed up. Do you think I can send an e-mail and get a new activation code?If you purhcased PT in the past but no longer have that computer or whatever, you can just email them and they'll give you the activation code.

Gonefishin55 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I downloaded poker trakker the new version. All is does it clutter my screen and make it difficult to see some peoples chip totals. I play sit n gos. Not sure it can even help. I wish someone could write a three page memo on how to use it.As far as the other stuff I'm glad it is banned. Link to post Share on other sites
Potomophobia 17 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm waiting for PS to ban FT.Should be any day now. Link to post Share on other sites
Cappy37 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Err.... wha?The amusing part of this is: it only helps the good players.. The donk in seat 4 isn't aiming his buddy asking to crunch KT vs a shorty shove real kwik... Or even thinking anyone else would be doing that. If anything, the availability of such tools gives the donks an actual chance. I'm sure they'll ban AIM next. /sigh. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 They should ban all chat progs, imo. It could compromise an already compromised info-sharing thing... Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I didn't know you could use ICM programs while playing anyway. It would be too tedious to type in your hole cards, all the chip stacks and your opponents range. Even it there's a program I'm not aware of that takes the HH and tracks the stacks, when short handed, how would someone type in the hole cards and range? Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty freakin' advanced. I don't play enough to use it or I would've gotten it a few months ago. Link to post Share on other sites
