Are We Cheating in Online Poker?

What ever you are doing works Krista. You kicked my arse out in 4th place on the Pokerstars freeroll today.
You are one hell of a good player now!

When I first started learning poker a couple years ago one of the first tools I used was Equilab. Once I realized I wasn't good just because I beat my friends. I had 5-6 different chart groups each with 9-10 charts and each chart had 3-5 charts. I numbered them and used a photo App that would pull whatever you hovered over to the foreground. 1 being UTG and so on. UTG only ever had 1 but then UTG 2 would be 3 usually 1 for opening, 1 for a limp from UTG and another for a shove from UTG and so on. That was by far the most skill building and important inclusion to my game. Other than leaving all emotion at the door which took a bit longer to remember. Ironically!

Firstly it wasn't actually poker software I was using since I screen snipped the charts and loaded them into another app for quick retrieval. Second I made the charts (mostly copying other seasoned players) but it was just a reminder of what to do not a processor of any sort. I don't think that's cheating. Now they are all in my head. What's the difference? Some people have real lives and can't spend all day learning charts. . I don't like trackers or anything really. I keep notes but on a note taking software for writers. I don't like keeping notes on the sight or using poker software. I do use sharkscope though when playing unknowns.

I play for fun so I don't use any cool Apps to help my chances of winning but anything that helps you make better decisions is an advantage and pros probably did it at first but they do it in their heads after a while and prob make mental notes and such. Good luck and remember practice makes perfect.

to an advanced player ,charts are an advantage
to also have a HUD is a massive advantage.

But when you play against me
Charts are a disadvantage for you, my range CAN BE ANYTHING

Hud statistics are also a disadvantage to you,
for I have a very loose gear
a very tight gear
a loose passive
a tight passive
a very aggressive tight gear
and a very aggressive loose gear

The HUD STATS will only give an average of my actions
So playing loose aggro and then switching to a tight aggressive gear
gives the absolute wrong information to be capitalizing on by your opponents.

That's not how this works,

That's not how any of this works


But please feel free to keep doing what you're doing, you're only competing with math

I know with the softwares help , the solvers , the charts , GTO programms , many get an edge , hard to fight this edge . The better security a pokerrrom has the better protection from cheaters you have .

I was in a Razz cashgame today , 6 players most of the time at the table , I was just thinking how easy it was two friends to join at the same time this table , ofcourse it's Razz not NLH or PLO , also I played for fun to generate rake or win little . But the fact remains the same . I trust more tourneys with hundreds or thousands of players or MT sngs , the rest of the games ......

i dont think so ...maybe some litle sites but all majot site for gambling i dont think so....but if they are so i dont care...i limit my self in playing for even when i play for real money....always have a limit , because u cant make money from gambling....u may be lucky once ,,,,but in long term u will lose...

It is not cheating. It's a great way to learn.

It's not cheating, graphics are a way we can improve our game.
I confess I don't use and I don't see any problem with who uses
