Support Software - How important ??

[AJ]

Been thinking about this one for ages. I hear a lot of people on here talk about poker tracker and poker office. I don't have either of these applications, just how good are they, and do they help your game ?? I play on Tribeca just now, playing mostly STT's and these apps don't support it. Ring games are fine, but tourneys are a no go. Is it worth moving network to something like stars or partypoker, just to get support for these applications ?? Am I crippling myself here playing without them ? I'd like to be able to run some reports on my game, find out flop fold percentages, winning hands, losing hands etc. Can someone that has one of these come on and post, ane give some feedback about these apps and what they use them for

Re: Support Software - How important ?? I used poker spy for a while but found it didn't really add to my game, in fact if I'd followed it's advice rather than my intuition I would have put down a lot of hands that I won with. I think it would probably be good for a beginner learning to play ABC poker but once you're past that stage it has little use. Having said that I never really used the stats side but I have a pretty good idea when I'm doing well or not.
