Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
here are the top 50 players in terms of being a
whale. these are those players with a high score by taking the percentage of £50+ buy-ins and divide by the average points per game.
this could be interpreted as being a whale. what this means is that you should not bluff these people often as they have the lots of money and a carefree attitude. they will, more often than not, call.

also i dont think you can make assumptions on playing style just from these stats. well, obviously you can, but i doubt they are accurate or meaningful.
you may interpret the figures the way you wish, teddy.
you should know more than most that you can, and indeed should, make assumptions about playing styles. you know that you do already unless, that is, you are sitting alongside your opponents. but that is not the case. we have to make assumptions.
i'd argue it isnt.
but if it is then i dont see how you datamining people, calling them whales and giving out advice on how to play against them is summat that sky should tolerate.
juss sayin
achieving lots of heads in BH could mean they are uber-agressive. or it could mean they are uber-passive and call a lot when someone moves all-in when there's a bounty on the line.
not sure how you can assume one over the other.
much less group players and offer everyone strategy advice for playing against them
ho hum.
paradoxically, you have written at length giving advice about HUSNGs and how you intepret others' play. people will either take your advice or leave it.
incidentally, it looks like you've missed the point. there are two elements to the Uber Aggro thread, not just one as you comment.
nor used perjortives to describe players.
i dont think the above is kosher, and i'm surprised sky allow such lists on their forum.
ted, i am not going to argue with you.
if you wish to ignore the figures, fine. if you wish to look at them fine, thousands do.
and my choices arent limited to merely looking at figures or ignoring them.
i can and will criticise them if i choose to do so.
you can then, of course either respond or ignore those comments.
either option is fine with me.
you cannot go around posting data on the sharpest players in bounty hunters, the most aggro players and the weakest, and then try and excuse yourself by saying its up to you how one interprets the data.
If players don't like there 'stats' being collated by scope, they can opt out. do we all now nee to send you a personal message to stop you advertising our playing characteristics?
it surprized me that no-one pulled you up on your wolf in sheeps clothing post, or the uber aggro one, which are also out of line.
please cease, I imagine sky will pull you up on this one though.
this data is readily available in many players' spreadsheets up and down the country. it is down to how much one person wants to put into it. the data is out there whether or not you choose to put the effort in yourself.
i am no different to many players, i keep track of results and styles. i am sure you do too. i have been doing this for 6 years and for just over a year i have been sharing this with everyone who wants to see it. for free too.
incidentally, i don't believe that you feature in any table. i haven't looked for you especially.
the info I have does reveal some interesting things. i am interested to see patterns of play.
just so you know, i choose not to publish material that is harmful to any individual. i choose not to reveal people's losses. i do not use the information to berate others at the table.
at the end of the day, some argue that you cant take any meaning from data. some argue the opposite. you are free to conclude whatever you like. think it is meaningless or meaningful.
it is not restricted to those in a closed group. not restricted to a stable of players. not restricted to a small group of friends. it isn't a secret operation. i have the data, i share it freely.
everyone. i have deleted all those tables.
