    Hi sacko, welcome to VBForums!

    I'm not sure what you are after here, your thread title is "reading data from internet", and then you say "I can’t find out how to catch the cards from the poker table".

    What is it that you are trying to do?

    Sounds like he wants to read the poker cards from an online texas holdem site.
    Is this right sacko?

    Unfortunately there are two issues here, the first is that it is very complicated to read the images from the screen and convert them to 'cards' that you could use in a program.

    The next issue is that this doesn't sound like something the poker site (or the other players) would want to be going on.

    I do think it would be hard for the website to actually discover that he's using a 3rd party program. That beeing said, and not to be rude, but I do think you're in over your head, sacko. Its pretty complicated stuff -and you don't seem to have an idea on how to do this. (based on the fact that you had to ask this question)

    (And you ARE welcome to prove me wrong.)

    That I’m trying to do are not illegal and the poker rooms are allowing it. But this is wrong forum to discuss that. I would like to give you something to think about next time you are playing poker. http://www.holdemspy.com/ http://www.pokerinspector.com/

    wow.. in my opinion.. thats cheating.. if you cant bring that into a real casino.. then it should not be allowed online either.

    If you feel like cheating.. then just go buy one of those programs you mentioned
