no tracking software please
And the sample size is.......... how often do you sit with the same player in a tourney? Your just getting numbers and the table breaks. Maybe after all its more releveant on here with a smaller player pool but you would have to play tournies non stop on the big sites to get a sample size big enough to make a decent read based on the stats with the vast number of players, how often are you sat with the same players.
finally someone with a brain
AJS & Flash don't want it because to tables will get harder (And that is a Correct assumtion), the fact that they already have limited leaks and can dominate their opponents helps to colour their opinion. The tables will get harder for those currently winning, the game will start to make more sense to those currently dropping money down the drain. This argument just depends on which side of that coin you fall. And considering estimates that only 5% of online players actually make a profit i am very supprised that the opinion is those losing money don't want to tighten up there leaks????
I'll go with the flow as i can always use these on other sites but as i've said in prior posts i am concious of people making a decision based on things they know nothing about form statments made like "Software Telling them how to play" - This just isn't the case
The games get harder for those currently winning because at the moment it takes people a long time to identify and dispose of the various leaks in their game, Those winning are approx 5% of the player population I.E out of all the people voting in this thread there will be very few who are actually winning players. Now if your smashing the profit at the moment then of course you don't want the competition improving (thus the example of AJS & Flash but that was by no means a go at them, in their position who would want the fish getting smarter?) My shock is that while i get their stand point i don't get the masses of those giving their money away currently that don't want to irradicate the leaks in their game
the proportion of winning players on the forum is definately higher than the general sky population.
anyway i disagree with what you are saying, not many fish or non serious players are going to invest the time and money in buying software and analysing their game.. it completely contradicts the reason they are here (to gamble and spin up money) anyway even if they did they will prob not play enough hands and their results will be skewed by variance.
This would mainly change the game between regs vs regs, and imo not for the better. and each level would just get harder, as it is i wud say the average nl50 game here (sterling) is probly about as tough as a nl10 (USD) on stars or ftp..
as mentioned i just think it will make the mid stakes much tougher, in turn certain players who can survive and win at this level atm will have to drop down, then they will beat the lower stake regs out of the lower stakes games, these regs have to move down to play the micros and you end up with a much tougher site. (obv a gross exageration of what will happen, but to an extent accurate)
I am by no means a reg, or even winning player and i detest the thought of software on sky. it is so off putting and as a casual depositer i wud not be able to deposit £50 and spin it up because the games wud be much tougher, EV spots become obsolete.
I hate hate hate it so %"£(!!DH"&! ing much!
Will improve the standard on here alot though which may not be so good
Also with downloadable client and tracking software you will get more serious players looking for easy money.
In my humble opinion
i dont care about the post game analysis thats fine, its the heads up display dictating peoples play that grinds my gears.
what Browndog says is alarming if true.
skypoker has its very own russ hamilton wannabe, i wud luv to kno who it was
1) Your prob right there will be a higher proportion of winning players on the forum than the site, may be supprised as to how few it is though, its certainly not every player who says they are winning
2)There are tons of people who buy them that are not full time or even any good. Thats how the companies that sell them survive, by doing it to the mass market
3) At one time i would have agreed but i think the standard of nl50 on the site has drastically increased
4) If your having a gamble to spin money up then this would be influenced by the variance and may be less dependant on your skill level and more on if the cards fall your way
like i said i understand if the site doesn't implement them, i just don't want less experianced players being influenced by the thought that trakers somehow mean a system is playing for someone, or that it's going to suddenly make everybody a great player
