I want to be able to be notified somehow via e-mail, or iPhone app, or text message or Skype message or whatever, when a nosebleed LHE game is running, or at least High stakes HU, so I can rail. Is there anyway to do this efficiently?

Watching some guys play 500/1k LHE HU is more fun than watching Soprano's re-runs.

pay someone to sit there with all the lobbies open, and have them contact you when there's action.

i think i remember reading somewhere on here that that's what some of the nosebleed big bet guys did.

That sounds like something that would get eyeballs for a poker news site.

yeah good thread, bump

what bbb said, pay someone

pay me 3.50 and i will do it

Write an app to scan the games 24/7 and send you an sms when there is action? And by write, I mean hire some Indian coder to do it for $30 on Mechanical Turk.

PTR had a text message notification for people on your fish list. Just buddy list all the nosebleed players and when they sit you get a text. May be a problem if the games are on stars.

Yep, if it's possible to crack the sites' protocol. I really don't know -- since traffic is obviously encrypted, is there a viable way to find out your own key and write scripts to use that key to simulate the client?

Once each protocol is reverse-engineered, it should only be a few hours of work per site.
