Betting Calculator Article

Should poker betting calculators be allowed or not? Some players actually feel they are not as threatening as some make them out to be. In reality, poker is about really about playing the cards you are dealt and knowing who your opponents are, and what they are likely to do. You also have to be bright enough to pick a table that you feel you can beat, and avoid the ones you are not favored to win at. A REAL player may make a decision to play at a certain time when he feels his competitors are tired, or perhaps inebriated.

There is a difference between live players and betting calculators that never succumb to human nature and fall weak because they are tired, angry, impatient or careless. A long stretch in a cash game or tournament can wear a human thin after 12 or 14 hours. He will NOT be playing optimally then.

Therefore, playing against a BETTING CALCULATOR that you really think is a player, is clearly a disadvantage that becomes more and more evident as the session, game or tournament progresses.

It is really a form of cheating, and most of the poker sites agree, especially Poker Stars who are adamant about preventing such machinery. But cheating at cards has been around since well, games have been played. Like life, it finds a way. Now cheating is at a distance and with very little supervision. It's not like busting an old time card shark over the knuckles and sending him off to the next city.

Its likely BETTING CALCULATORS are here to stay, because there is simply an overwhelming demand for such things to fill the desire of greed in humans. Alas though it is not necessarily because of the superior playing ability that BETTING CALCULATORS have, but more so because of the stamina and automation they represent.
