Yeah, I just wish:

it weren't so hard to get hands from UB

and

the info was actually that useful at Omaha 8.

Try PokerAce. I liked it better than PlayerView, especially the real time display of holecards on the screen.

I like Poker Ace Hud better too.

And this will accelerate the downfall of online poker. Basically, it becomes a never ending arms race of technology where the sheep get skinned instead of sheared.

They get skinned in NL. No amount of technology is going to increase limit poker beyond shearing.

Why waste time , effort, and money on all this stuff when you can just shove All-In on every hand?

This is half the reason I play non holdem and play tournament structure so much. I don't want to spend the frigging time or energy to do this, and I don't want to be penalized for that.

I prefer to force myself to learn hand-reading and related skills. Any online play I do is all about training to play live poker anyway.

And I slightly disagree - the most valuable information is what this stuff doesn't pick up....how does he play a flush draw, what causes a slowplay, etc. Also the good players are constantly adjusting, and numeric reliance misses these adjustments.

The most valuable info is pretty simple. Who plays lots of hands and loses lots of money. Find those players and play with them. I dont much care how they play a flush draw, just that they play lots of them.
