I think it would be a bad business move and cost Party alot of money, as tons and tons of good players would flock to PT compatible sites.

"They don't owe you anything."

Yeah and I don't owe them anything either, so I would change to a site that offers record keeping, [censored].

Which would leave what type of players at Party?

I mean really, just how 'good' are these players that have to rely so heavily on PT? How do good players survive in live cardrooms without it?

Personally, I think it'd be kinda cool not to be able to use it.

By playing a couple of orbits and getting good reads, instead of having to deal with random opponents jumping in and out of the game all the time.

You mean like the 2+2 nits who think a 35% flop rate is a bad game?

This doesn't support the must for PT. The games are beatable without it.

PT is a nice tool, but it's overrated imo.

I'd rather know that CO "is loose preflop, will cold-call with hands such as A5o and J8o. Is capable of bluff-raising turns or rivers. Almost always bets when checked to." rather than CO is 65/15/3.

I think stats, while nice, are being substituted for actual useful reads more and more. And I think that's a bad trend.

I don't play on Party and I don't use PokeTracker, so WGAF.

Let them ban it all, I'll bet my BB/100 would increas a hefty sum if these cats didn't have PT or Playerview/gametime. These are the same cats that look for the players stats tatooed on their foreheads in a live cardroom. Chew them up and spit them out.
