Are you sure about this?
What about knowing how they've done with certain hands?
What they've done at specific buy-ins?
Agree, there are some players who just want to splash around and lose a few bucks. No question. But, are there enough of them for GP to build a business model upon? I'm going to say no.
Every fantasy football site (good comparison) offers stats for their players, and the WORST and LEAST involved people in fantasy leagues take advantage of them. (To scan the wire, look at results against certain defenses, etc.)
You're positive that the average player would have NO interest in having access to basic stats that ALL other poker sites and ALL other competitive games offer online?
Because I'm not so sure.
To me, it looks like a pretty concerted effort on GP's part to keep folks away from stats and hand histories. And again, I just have to ask why?
I enjoy playing there. I'm a winning player at the micros and it's all in fun.
I'm not "anti-GP."
But, something is missing in the equation....
When something would be REALLY easy to do, and there is a demand for it... and an entity chooses not to do it. There's a reason. A benign reason? Sure. Maybe.
Maybe not.
How would we know?
