“Are Online Poker Players Using Strategy Software, While Playing, Cheating?”

New poker strategy software has come out in the poker world for use while playing online poker. The software actually plays "with" you and "watches" you and other players play. A lot of players agree that software like this can give players an "unfair" advantage but is it so "Unfair" that it’s cheating?
I took a look at 2 different strategy programs that run, and give advice, while you play poker online. On is called Texas Calculatem and the other, PokerOffice. On the Texas Calculatem website they say that the software "Gives advice on how you should play your hand given probabilities of you vs. your opponent" they also say that the software gives players "additional info, including odds of making certain hands, odds of one of your opponents making certain hands, # outs, pre-flop hand strength & Sklansky score"
It seems that the software, Texas Calculatem does give players and advantage, but is it "un-fair"? I sent an e-mail to 3 different "large" poker sites and asked them what they thought of the software. I was surprised to hear that none of them had any problems with the Texas Calculatem software. It seems that they don’t find that it gives players and "un-fair" advantage at all. Each poker site agreed that the software was, in fact, very fair.
The next strategy software on my list is PokerOffice. This software seems a bit more powerful. The makers of the software claim that “PokerOffice, tracks all of your opponents actions as well as your own game” This software seems to really get into your opponents head, It keeps track of how many hands your opponents play, how aggressive they play, and even how much money they win.
On the PokerOffice site it says the software can “Track every player you have ever played against and see how often they see the flop, raise pre-flop, check-raise, win at showdown, play bottom pair on the flop, and much more.”
The PokerOffice has to be crossing a line somewhere, its actually watching other peoples play, even getting into there “personal” business. Well to my surprise again after asking 3 “large” poker sites it seems that none of them believe this software to give any player an “un-fair” advantage. In fact it seems that the poker sites recommend that players use the software.
I guess the best thing to do is see it for yourself. Texas Calculatem has a demo of the software for people to see on their site. You can see it by Clicking Here.
