Maybe I came across too strong. What happened with me was, after 6 months I asked myself "what do I know now that I didn't know then?" and I couldn't come up with a good enough answer to satisfy myself, and I thought the software was getting me too hung up with minutiae. I'm willing to concede your point on quickly getting a fix on the calling stations and maniacs when playing more than a couple of tables, but as I said, I rarely play as many as 2 tables (OK, I was 8-tabling during 'Stars' 2 billion hand lottery, but that was for a different reason
)
My complaint is against people who post stuff like 'in the last 10K hands, I've noticed I'm +.35 bb for 54s, but -.23 bb for T9s. What's up with that.'
I'll tell them what's up with that. Normal variance gave them favorable boards a couple of extra times with the 54 and unfavorable board a couple of times with the T9.
Sort of like in baseball, where the difference between hitting .300 and .250 is one hit per week. Sometimes those grounders find the hole and those bloppers drop in, sometimes they don't, and sometimes you get hit with the wrong end of the bell curve.
Doesn't mean I'll never use Pokertracker again, maybe I just need a big downswing to motivate me.
