Probably one of the many odds calculators for newbies that are items these days.

You would think in their screenshots they would at least show the correct number of players with cards. If you notice at the bottom table, there are only two people in and the top table there are 5 players. The pot is $24 at a $10/20 table. Obvoiusly a scam, do people fall for this?

I think they mean 3 folded, but they are still showing the cards that all of them had. The one in the seat on the left just sat down, apparently, so UTG limped, SB folded, BB checked for a $25 pot, minus $1 rake. Not that anyone should believe these idiots, but I don't think the "screenshot" is wrong in terms of the pot size.

Yes, this software really shows you the hole card of your opponents. Well, actually it shows your the hole cards of your opponents who went to showdown and mucked, after the hand is over. You could get this information from the hand history--which is what the software does. So the advertising for this program doesn't exactly lie (except the part that says it's the only program of it's kind), but it doesn't tell the whole truth either.

They have it screwed up. The guy with Kings is last to act in the dialog box, but he shouldn't be, he should be first to act and the 83o is the BB. In reality the 83 hasn't posted yet and that hand didn't exist. It is just for demonstration and is a bunch of BS. Although I think it does show you the showdown, mucked cards as CORed pointed out.
