Odds Calculator hurts my game!
I tried using this useful tool but to my dismay my luck got terrible or I made stupid plays or both. I will have to learn how to use it to my advantage instead of to my detriment. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use it correctly? Thanks for any help.

I like how some of the in game odds calculator gives you dead outs (sarcasm alert). You have to consider someone having a set, two pair, or an overpair for example. You may be drawing to an over card that will actually do more damage than good.
I like to put my opponents on a hand range before I start calculating my odds & outs. Tightening up your hand range can help you reduce dead outs and improve your win % and pot odds %.

Not sure exactly what you mean offhand, are you referring to third-party tracking sites like sharkscope? Or something similar that tracks cash game history, such as ptr used to do for various sites (not sure if they still do but last I checked they wern't on some sites i had a look for).
Player and opponent stats tracking in game would sound like you are referring to the use of a hud, but this is not an odds calculator which is why I am a little confused as to what it is your actually looking for.
Perhaps it's something like pokerstove that your wondering about which would provide odds based on millions of hands as to your hand holding up in situations or your equity to hit your hand which can be used to determine if getting the correct price to call etc....many such tools can't be used while also running poker sites as they are against the T&C, and are mainly used for hand analysis during review.
If you could be a little clearer in what your referring to, or someone correct me if I'm just not completely understanding the question, then I'm sure I'd be able to give a clearer answer.

I think I am referring to a hud with a percentage tracker of how many times the cards being played would win or when playing limit, what percentage of time should you call fold or bet...
the last one I had in 2008 was a tool that would read the chat and put it into a hud and would see how well I was playing, how well others were playing, etc...
I like to see the odds and the stats of how I am doing though...

These calculators huds etc I imagine get live players worried about Google glasses 
I've never used one of these calculators and believe if your going purely on odds and that's it maybe roulette is more your game, on the other hand this is a great tool to start learning learning hands and possibilities, we don't want to rely on the machines just yet!

The odds are important(no doubt) but be sure and get an idea about the quality of your competition. A good player will put the odds in perspective with the total table atmosphere. I try and play lite for a few orbits just to get a read on what the table is like and then start applying odds in the right spots.

It works, perhaps be more specific with what isn't working for you.....it deff doesn't show 100% for everything...I just tested to reconfirm.

I think this is the perfect starters as they learn the odds but after tens of thousands have already played this hand and then I think they do not need
jus7_play3r that you may no longer need this because it may have been a good player but I also sometimes used as a starting yes that is a shame but I confess

If you are playing pokerstars on PC and using app on iphone or ipad then pokerstars wont know you are using a poker calculator. Also Pokerstars has its own built in calculator now, Which tells you the odds Preflop and on each street if all in
