Message: [QUOTE="flint, post: 741308, member: 21908"] I have to disagree with you. For you knowing the previous betting patterns via software can be a big tell. You need to remember that most of the fish don't own software like pokerace hud/pokertacker cause they are not serious. Also I think it was Doyle Brunson who said that the most valuable tells are in the betting patterns. The kind of software such as poker sidekick is becoming more popular because of a lot of marketing, but the software can't say when you are bluffing. If you assume that someone has that software it seems pretty easy to get them out of hands if they are following the software strictly. The most important feature of a good player is adaptability (I recently read the theory of poker) into different games/situations so you can exploit your opponents optimally. Don't get me wrong, I love to play live and I will start playing some cash games once I move to Macau, but I still think that online is more profitable if you can adjust your play. This is because there are a lot of fish there and the software plus the fact that player play more loosely/stupid. For me, it is not the software, as I rarely use it, but rather my ability to read my opponents well and then use that information optimally. And BTW, I agree that the notion of luck is very good for the best players, as humans tend to think that they are more skillful than they raelly are when they win and it also creates a smoke screen making the bad players think that they got a chance to win (The pros seem to be very happy in advertising the fact that on a given day any amateur can win the pro), [/QUOTE]
