New Player Database

[Rooky9]

Its pokerstars support where the information is obtained. If you know the number of the tournament you want the result of all you have to do is go into their main lobby and from the drop down options at the top left of the screen choose the option tournament history.

Then just type in the tournament number and pokerstars support will email you the result.

i believe you are limited to 100 requests either per day or week (cant remember which) but as far as i'm aware the person who runs thepokerdb.com has pokerstars consent to request as many results as he wants for his database.

So how can pokerstars then have that players shouldn't use these things when they are supplying them? I thought there would at least be some clever software thingy that did it all..... I'd question why they allow people to request results of tourn's they weren't in - it has to be all or nothing!

Fact is they can not regulate the system they have and I would have no issues about using something like this database if I saw benefit - if I select a stt and see that there's a couple of sharks I'd still want to play anyway to beat them!

the site in question is an absolute wind up.

knowone i've spoke too has found that thier stats corralate with their own.

it dos'nt seem to be a profitable site so why has it been invented?

It states that they dont intend to charge people at this time for use of the service and restricts users to 10 searches per day.

this may be a precurser to required subscripson, and i think that this is a rough guide to peoples patterns that someone has set up to find out how popular it would be and whether or not to charge for a more thorough service.

This site is a joke, surely an intrusion of privacy?

I just played in my first STT on crypto for a few weeks and caught them chatting about this sharkscope, a few were taking the piss of someone's results on sharkscope, which I thought was terrible. She had lost over $1500 playing a total of over 1000 $2 games. I felt bad for her, she was getting fking bullied just over her results, these results should be private. Plus they are now charging people to view PRIVATE results 

Also it has me down as only 44 games, when im sure I've played a good few hundred of STT's. I've emailed WillHill and asked if they condone this site, hope they can do something about it tho tbh, I think it's cheating too.

Its her own fault, she shouldnt be so rubbish.

She had lost over $1500 playing a total of over 1000 $2 games.

She was probably happy just having fun until they started ripping the piss out of her. Really they should all be being nice to her as she's providing them with cash (if they actually win themselves) in return for being entertained.

Poker's a service industry and if she has more fun else where that's where she'll take her cash.

The attitude of the other players shows a complete lack of understanding of a relatively simple concept. Don't tap the tank.

It's probably why they're unlikely to be succsessful at higher limits than $2 games. They think it's because they keep getting outdrawn by recreational fish (and possibly why they're lashing out), but really it's because they simply arn't good enough.

it seems loads of people use this now. so many times i have been playing a sit n go somebody outdraws someone else and all you see in the chat box is no wonder you are $xxxx down blah de blah

Don't tap the tank.

Damn - was gonna see if you could loan me a score

Plus they are now charging people to view PRIVATE results 

as in the results of people who have requested their information to be removed?!  if so, that's outrageous.

At a club in Glasgow a couple of years ago, there was a regular tournament at the weekends.  One of the players helpfully produced the wins and losses of all the participants over the time the tourney had been running.  Needless to say the biggest loser never returned.
