This is a joke right? Because 4 relevant colors must mean OMG HUGE SAMPLE, Q.E.D. illegal data mining.

The color rule is one big joke. In before changing the font based on the value of the statistic.

^ Would you be able to split your stat into red/green/blue using two thresholds?

What's not to understand?

Unibet isn't anonymous, but you can change alias 3 times per week. Casual players also do not lose their money faster, quite the opposite.

Yes if using PT4 (not sure about HM2) the default colour can be set. So technically all you do is change default to Blue.

No, I don't believe so. You have to have numbers so you could have 3B as a number of 2.7% that you would have to interpret but not a non-numeric.

I'd argue that's because the site is soft enough that the ratio is great and the regs are terrible.

The starting stack hand charts rule needs to go. I get more and more infuriated at this as each day goes on. PS, how can you possibly fathom that anyone playing according to that pdf will not be freerolled? OFC people will still have any charts up that are helpful on side computers. This is so ridiculous, you have to get rid of this ******ed new rule.

Furthermore, have you released a Russian copy of this PDF? Many of the Russian hyper regs cant speak English well and obv have no idea this is going on or what the new [******ed] rules are. Still waiting for you to email every player about this. When I brought this topic up to a couple of my nosebleed limit player friends their response was : "huh? link?." Followed by: "this is so dumb and impossible to enforce/control."

I understand that commercial software like PT4 and HEM may be able to help with the enforcement of some of these new rules by enabling software limitations, but what if some non-commercial software developer makes his own database software with his own HUD and own custom scripts. How does Pokerstars handle that?
yep.

The reg:rec ratio is very important, I think. The rewards system and lower rake in the micros apparently helps to keep weaker players around too, and they even award tickets to a decent freeroll to players that lose more than 20 euros (IIRC) in a week. (Giving "free money" to losers is a pretty revolutionary way of keeping them afloat).
I'd imagine that some players still have shocking loss rates on the Unibet tables though, because there are evidently some very high winrates.

So I had been playing with a ProPokerHud the last five or six months. I was mainly just using their numerical statistics in my own configured setup.

One of the things I liked about their statistics was not that they were color coded for passive to aggressive tendency but that the colors were less transparent when the sample size was smaller on a statistic. Say my opponent had only 4 attempted cbets in our entire history together the "cbet percentage in non 3bet pots" would be a very dim gray and a difficult to see statistic on my display. As I attained more of a sample of his cbet the stat would become more bold and clear on the display.

Is this something that is no longer allowed and or can no longer be replicated in the allowable HuDs on PokerStars/FullTilt?

If so I'm going to start dumbing down my on screen HuD display even more and only including some of the more easily populated statistics in my display. The rest I'll move into popups.

Thanks.

I was one of the losers this week. There were 419 players in it last night with the top 100 players being awarded 40 euros each, so you have just under 10 euros equity in it.

But yes it's nice, the 40 euros I got was more than my loss to qualify for it.

Pokerstars keeps letting this datamining going on spin and gos. i'm speechless, this has been going for several months now. and nothing has been done yet. this is a way more urgent to resolve before anything else.

As per the latest version of PT4, no color code expressions are allowed (coloring by sample).

So no more coloful hud, only numeric stats, does it worth purchasing any 3rd party app except HM or PT?
Too bad that good regs giving away their edge on online field and actually happy about the decision

Honestly I don't think that any restrictions should be as long its not help you to gain information that you shouldn't know like villains cards etc.
At the end of the day those applications are only help you to track after your rivals by specfying every act they doing and analyze it visually, maybe we as human beings cannot do that but we cannot also multitabling 20 tables in one session so I think that the whole artificial intelligance in poker debate is really hypocrite.
Some of the advantages of online poker are those applications, they help reduce variance and creating a fair edge between regs and fishes, I honestly dont think that those restrictions will help the fishes to close the gaps because they will remain weak players.
Just another calculated move by the monopoly called pokerstars (which also coincidentally bought Jivaro recently) to keep their fishes in the net.

Nice. Poker's not dead yet. Lektor is back in the game and he's ready to donate some more euros. But seriously, congrats.

Source? It's just a rumour, or the fantasy of the Jivaro team, isn't it?

It is just a rumor based on what I read in the NVG thread about it.

Hey so can people still use hold em manager on poker stars? My feeling is that does it really matter if they ban all other huds, if they aren't banning the most used then it's a pointless exercise?

No one is banning any huds on pokerstars. Ofc you can use hm there.
