I could go on but don't really need to. Your point seems to be that this software created an uneven playing field. My point is that is not the case given the fact this software is available to all at a relatively inexpensive cost. Anyone can use it
Comparing golf clubs is a a dumb example because every golfer has to use a golfclub and most pros use the same ones or ones the provide limited variance in results. Huds and bots are not used or accessible to all players. Most dont even know where to get bots. Its obvious any extra programs encourage people like you seem to be and exploiting the rules. Ban everything and enforce it. Let poker be played the way it was intended.
This isn't chess, this isn't golf. This is gambling. When I register for a game i'm wagering my money on myself to beat other "humans". Poker allows some players to purchase and use performance enhancements , drugs, steroids. And now not only that but they allow motorized bicycles to be used to race the Tour DE France. There is a reason bigger curves on hockey sticks are banned despite the nhl in a goal scoring crises. There is a reason why mlb bans corked bats despite baseball homeruns being so exciting. Because its cheating. I could go on.these leagues choose not to allow these enhancements even though it would create a more exciting product, which would make more money, they uphold the integrity of the game. Online poker commisioner has not. It's promoted things that make them top dollar at the expense of the rec players. Its become a monopoly, a sma upper class of rich and the rest poor. Online poker mirrors society
In any sport there is more expensive equipment that may enhance your game, but poker is not and should not be this. Its 2-9 players using there brain. Not falling asleep 24 tabling and allowing software to record information.
