Why should we convince you to get it. It's not our loss if you don't purchase it.

Rather than berate the OP, how about focusing on the advantages of PT and addressing his original question of whether your skills diminish over time by relying on PT.

To answer the question, I think it definitely depends on what limits you play and for how long. Someone who plays at the lower limits, as another poster mentioned, will not see the benefit as quickly as if you're at higher limits. Also, it's probably not worth it if you only play a few hours per week. HTH.

Thank you Bacchus.

Yes I play to win money. It is not the only reason I play, but it is the obvious goal. I play .50/1 and 1/2 NL on UB.
Roughly 2-3 hours a day. I use Pokercharts to keep track of all my records. It seems to be enough for me for now.

By the way you guys can be real assholes sometimes.

My intent was not to annoy you, it was an attempt to use humor to make the point that PT is one of the very best pieces of software I have ever purchased and extremely useful to online play.

I think that is all the others were trying to say/do as well. For my part, I am sorry my attempt at humor was ill received.

If you want to get a good answer, you have to ask a good question...

"Convince me that I should buy pokertracker."

Why should we? We have no stake in whether you make money or not nor whether you become a better poker player. IMHO, when you post something like the above, you get what's coming to you.

How about a post asking specifically about what things people find useful playing the kinds of games you do? Of course, you could do a search for the gazillions of discussions about pokertracker here. Or, you could even look at the forums on the PT site itself. Then again, since you don't seem to believe the voluminous postings in all the usual places about the value of pokertracker, what could we possibly say that would push you over the edge to buy it anyway?

Agreed. Do yourself a favor and buy it or don't. Don't waste your time or ours. Not trying to flame, but you know whether or not you're buying it. Just do whichever you planned on.

... I have always found the fun and enjoyment of observing the styles of others at the table and making my judgements from my own perspective. I adjust my game as I see fit and play off of the feel of these assessments.

Its pretty easy to remember faces in B+M play, but online theres so many players, and only a username to identify them. I can get to know a player pretty well after a while, but if I play against them a week later, I would rarely remember them from their screen name alone.
