Default Re: Reading Data From the Screen

I'm an idiot for suggesting an algorithm to see what cards are on your screen? As long as you're not using that information to gain an unfair advantage, screen scraping is allowed by Party ( Party's Policy on "unfair advantage" Programs). As Freakin pointed out, this information is also available in real-time in HH files. These are scanned by software like PokerTracker and PokerAce which are also permitted my Party's TOS. Sounds like OP just wanted to do some odds calculations or something which seems perfectly reasonable. As long as you're not colluding, creating a bot, or creating a huge shared stat database you should be OK.
