Actually, when I bother to turn it on, it does give me useful info. But it's kind of a pain in the ass when you have more than one table open
i have actually used it a few times but havent really seen to big of a change in the results when im using it .although i like to play alot of mtt's and think that im better off without it because of the way people adjust in different stages in the tourney.cash games it really helps.
i find it pretty convenient, especially being a PLO cash game player. a lot hard to do odds in your head when each player has four cards.
Ive started using the odds calculator for bout a week now. Only about 500 hands played on it so far so its not a complete survey of the players but its a good start. Around a 1000 hands you get a pretty strong idea what kinda player that person is. I mostly play Holdem Sngs or Mtts. I find it useful with the HUD and stats showing and I minimize to whats shown on the Hud so it doesnt cloud up the table and im not overwhelmed with info. It does help with finding a loose goose or a tight rock kinda player.
Are you guys talking about a program like pokertracker and holdem manager or is this a built in feature in carbon/aced etc?
this is a tracker - i think the others are talking just a calc -Quote:

If you are referencing the big bulky box underneath your tables, you can go to views and switch it to mini. It will then reduce the size to smaller than a paperclip, and go to the top of your table. I find this tool very helpful as a basic HUD. I never use the calculator function though. I wish the HUD had better/more concise stats, but I will have to wait to get PokerTracker or HEM. Knowing a players VPIP or 3bet% is very helpful.Quote:
