Seems like it would be easy to cheat if you had that technology at the table. I don't think I would feel comfortable with a guy using a computer or a smart phone at the table. There are too many tools that he could view using these devices. It should be one player per hand. I would call the floor if I saw a player using one of these devices.

lol who gaf

But if you are not in the hand you could be discussing strategy with someone on the rail, using the internet to research players at the table, usign sng wiz when not in the hand to figrue out ranges for you to shove later in nl holdem mtts?

people that complain about the smallest, meaningless shit like this are more disgusting to me, imo

i had to look up what effete meant

OP is just having a hard time transitiong from Motorola Razr to iPhone. Get over yourself and your pointless rant.

And Kevmode, if you think someone that
Looks up your winnings or history while at a
Live table has an upper hand over u, then he prolly already had an upper hand to begin with. Idk why people complain. It's not like you have a floating vpip # over ur head. I wish everyone at my table was on their phone. They'd be paying less attention to other stuff.

So someone who is capable of 18 tabling online cant read the news while playing one table @ 35 hands/hr?

Someone could be easily coaching through ur table telling you how to play ur stack size and discussing how the other players styles are.

dude theres no possible way someone can be texting u hand for hand street for street how to play yours cards. u cant text or even change ur song while u have cards playing. and if u wanted to talk to someone on the rail about someone at ur table, u can just get up and go talk to ur friend in person. get real. no one is using a fkin fake HUD or Live Poker Tracker for an advantage. and as I said, if they are, then they prolly suck anyways and have no chance vs actual pros who are listening to music, reading texts, and sometimes even live multi tabling.

there's nothing wrong with getting up from the table and talking strategy with a buddy. there's also nothing wrong with looking up people on your table. no one's going to sit there when it's their turn to act and everyone's staring at them, break out their phone, type in the flop, their cards, their opponent's range and figure out the correct move, then look up and bet and expect things to be ok. that sheet just doesn't happen

people are always on their phones while on the table generally texting their buddies or updating their twitter. yeah that shit can get annoying if some kid is sexting his girl and it takes him 2 minutes and 3 light taps from the dealer to notice that it's his move. but people that screw up repeatedly like that are usually hoo'd and haw'd at enough by others at the table to figure it out and stop their inattentiveness-causing touchscreen stroking ways

nothing to stop someone steppin up from the table going to chat to friends about table/players/coaching etc
its part of poker, and not cheating fyi, else you wouldnt be allowed to chat to the people around you about hands and shit. only diff is now u can do it sat down instead of gettin up.

also the info is available to every1 so if u feel cheated by them using it an ur not, ur obv too dumb to go get it urself, no edge is really available

Using sngwizard between hands is not cheating. Talking about hands on skype between hands is not cheating. You are just not smart enough to do it.

you're at the stall next to me at the rio.

So OP... What do you look at while you pee?
