Using an odds calculator during play

What's your experience been? Improved? Winning streaks? Reliability? I'm curious as to how much difference it makes.

A man came home from a Poker Timepokerbonus.pokerbonuslistings.com/Poker Time-poker-tournaments.html" target="_blank">poker game late one night and found his hideous harpy of a wife waiting for him with a rolling pin.

"Where the hell have you been?" she asked.

"You'll have to pack all your things, dear," he ad-libbed. "I've just lost you in a card game."

"How did you manage to do that?" "It wasn't easy, honest. I had to fold with a royal flush."

I don't think that an odds calculator would make that much difference. Think about it. How many hands have you lost that you were definitely favored in?

You need to play YOUR game. They can help a it if your next play is questionable, but you may not use it that much. It really depends on your game...

In my opinion if you're good enough to be making money off poker on a regular basis you should more or less have an idea of what hands to play in what situations, without the detail of an odds calculator....

odds calculator, never heard of it-wouldn't that be cheating/

Naw, I don't think it's cheating but if you did it at a table, nobody would like you. If you did it online, you would be playing so slowly it wouldn't even be enjoyable. Plus bad beats happen all the time, it's just part of the game.

I looked into odds calculators when I first heard about them, but in reading a lot of background info I discovered that most people find it to be more trouble than its worth.
