Sooo not worth the money. Now if it were a one time fee of 10 bucks that's one thing but every month no way.

Then the problem becomes, how do you access all this data in real time? You pretty much need a system that can show you the data relevant to the current situation. Atleast if you're going to play more than one table without constantly timing out.

I'm not sure why PE and PT are viewed as so much different from one another, ethically, that is. Note: I am assuming that PT is being used with GT+ or PV, which I'm sure that in the majority of cases it is. Does the fact that you have to do a little more "work" with PT make it more ethical to use. I find it pretty easy downloading hand histories to PT, autorating players, and running GT+.

I agree with a post I read in another thread that compares these programs to steriods in sports. They are not quite ethical, yet if you don't use them yourself you are giving away an egde to the competition. That's MHO on using the programs.

Now as far as PE using what might be considered a form of extortion by releasing your stats and then requiring a subscription to keep those stats from being released... That's extortion at it's finest!
