Does anyone use Poker Prophecy on Party Poker? The product intrigues me, but I'd like to know what others' experience has been.

TIA.

Try getting banned, that's an experience. Use it and see what happens.

Poker Prophecy works absolutely fantastic on Party!!!.... for about a day or so.... then they detect it....then they warn you... then you are banned.

Wow. I guess that means I won't use it. Thanks for the responses, guys. You saved me some money.

Beyond being illegal (which frankly is silly), its not very useful, and highly inaccurate.

It doesn't catch high enough a percentage of games played to be really even close. I think its around 70%.

As an example, after completing 1 month of tournaments it listed me as around 37-38% ITM. My 2nd month, my own records showed me at around 28% ITM (really bad month), but the records on PokerProphecy showed me increasing to 41.5% ITM. My sample size over the 2 months was about 800 games, so statistically speaking it should be enough to show a trend.

I personallly lost all interest at that point.

Aside from all that, ROI is way more important that ITM. And beyond that, a quick glance at a hand history to tell if a player is basically aggressive, or basically not, is worth much more than this artificial read anyway...
