Can Poker Software Take Screenshots?
Hi, does anybody know if poker software can take screenshots for security purposes? I sometimes have a ranges spreadsheet I made open but I read the PS software can screengrab and now I'm anxious.
What about on GG? is this a thing?

Haven't heard about anyone who get banned from ps for ranges screenshots. ( but I dont check poker news that often)
What if I print them and put over wall behind my computer?
What if I have empty range sheet above tables to better visualize?
What if click gto ranges screenshots sometimes but like 95% time not using them?
Will they ban me right away or put warning first?
Plenty of question regarding this topic
Use preflop hero or preflop guru to learn them. Using charts is a bad habit that takes attention away from what really matters and makes it difficult to get into flow/the zone.
I know 95% of spots from trial and error and review after, the charts are there for those few spots I haven't learned yet :). I rarely refer to them at this point, and it's not like I'm using them to make my life easy but rather to learn those few spots
I once got an email from ps giving me a warning for use of external software. I was just messing around with equilab and not even seated on tables.
It happened to me too. The lobby was opened. I wasnt playing
It is really sad if this is what poker is coming to. Pretty soon a hologram will appear in your living room and scold you for using charts, software, etc. I can't imagine that they can access your machine like, seems criminal on their part. I would figure out a way to use JPEG's or something or have an app on my phone open if they can truly do that. Being able to detect PIO or some other GTO or a bot is one thing, but above that seems ridiculous.
hi i had a few emails over the years cant remember how long now but equilab had it open and not even playing at the time, nothing ever come of it they cant screen shot your pc no way surely be hacking , as for pio solvers and other bots the clever ones use 2 machines
If i get it right, static charts are not forbidden by stars:

I saw it back then, in 2019. Not sure how it is changed now, pokerstars change some part of their rules very often.
PS doesn't screengrab anything, I think this is an old, and never confirmed, legend.
I know one person who was warned(not banned or suspended) by stars after they detected charts in excel spreadsheet. So yea, there is probably some kind of screen grabber.
Anyway I dont think stars care too much about this. One streamer was suspended only for few days for using site with millions hands database to check opponents during stream. Probably they do random control and worst what you will need to do is to apologize.
Probably Excel raised the flag, that's it.
