I'd have to lie about my age, no? Also, doesn't everyone just use software databases that tell them the odds for every hand? Or is that less common than I'd thought?

Gambling online for money is illegal anyway in the US. Lying about your age isn't such a stretch.

Gambling online for money is NOT illegal in most states. What's explicitly illegal is for US banks/financial institutions to perform transactions with online gambling companies.

I think most online sites are 18+.

Most people use databases and heads-up displays, but to calculate and present statistics about your own and your opponents' play, not to calculate odds (calculating odds is easy). I like Poker Tracker.
