While I admire the intent of your post, I don't agree with the conclusion. The problem is not in using PokerTracker - it is in using it improperly. If you allow PokerTracker to "relieve" you of being observant and taking notes on players' post-flop play, you are misusing it. If you allow your own play to be guided by someone's PT stats after a small number of hands, you are misusing it. I think newbies and old hands alike would benefit from using PokerTracker, but everyone needs to understand how to use it properly. Just saying don't use it is akin to throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
