gametime+ and playerview work in conjunction with pokertracker to give you real time opponents' stats, such as % of time they see the flop, % of time they raise preflop, etc...

with this info, you will know whether or not, with a hand such as KQ, you should re-raise an overly aggressive player, or whether to fold it.

when starting out, you should definitely make it your business to know the players' habits without this aid. i also think they sort of make you lazy, i.e., use it as a crutch. when you get into multi-tabling, it is a great tool to use, as you can't get a great read on your opponents.

note that to get real time info, you need to have pokertracker open and mining the data off your hard drive, which i believe only occurs with partypoker and skins...but i could be wrong about that. in other words, if you play other sites, it does no good at all. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

cheers!
