VIEW: People are too dependent on solvers
People are putting in a lot of work with solvers but aren’t grasping the rationale behind the solver recommendations. It
The bigger reason to ban phones is that they undoubtedly could be modified to catch the value of cards from dealers who are holding the deck fairly high or at an angle.
This...
Amazed they haven't banned vloging at the table.
If you look at some of the you tube vlogs they are basically hole card cameras for both sloppy dealers and learning what opponents fold.

No
fair
Knowing a single dead card isn't that useful compared to the edge from just studying and getting better at poker
I'm pretty sure giving an average player that information would make them play worse since they'd way over adjust
Sounds like we should bring back the 70s and just play naked.
This works, as you can plainly see. So, too, have brain-computer interfaces given hearing to the deaf, vision to the legally blind, the ability to have a computer convert their verbal thoughts into speech when they can no longer talk, and several other applications already in human use. Ear implants into the cochlea for restoration of hearing have been in practice for 25 years now.

There's a huge difference between a cochlear implant and a brain-computer interface. What you posted isn't a brain-computer interface either it's a brain-spine bridge.
There have been lots of medical products that "work" for treating a condition and then never make it to market because in clinical trials it gets found out that they cause other problems. There's been a mountain of cancer treatments that work at killing a tumor, and then they never made it through clinical trials because they also kill the patient.
"In human use" is an important step to bringing a medical product to market but it's far from any guarantee that it ever passes through trials. 90% of drugs that enter clinical trials fail to pass through them. A brain-computer interface is far more complex than a drug. In my view, it's an investment scam. A lot of biotech isn't anything more than that.
Same energy:
The mythical poker player stuck on low stakes while doing a ton of solver work doesn't exist.
[laughs nervously]
It will probably happen in our lifetime. We just have to figure out how. But I believe our grandchildren will grow up taking this technology for granted.
In the meantime, we have a potato cannon.
Ultimately solvers are a study guide and not an answer key though. I don't think even the most hardcore solver nerds dispute this. It's not realistic to memorize the whole game tree and it's not realistic to implement that memorization, without the help of a computer, so impossible live.
Feels like an implication is being made here…
if you used a brain implant to solve poker instead of just rinsing who wants to be a millionaire you're a life fish
