Hello Michael,
Thank you for your email.
PokerStars is planning to introduce new rules regarding results database
sites like SharkScope in the near future. The rules will allow all players
to opt out from such databases if they wish, and will require players to
explicitly give permission before detailed statistics about them can be
displayed.
When the rules are implemented, sites will be allowed reasonable time to
comply with them, but any that choose not to do so will be prohibited. At
present, SharkScope has not agreed to comply with the rules, so is listed
as 'Pending' in our Prohibited Programs FAQ. This may of course change in
the future.
As the new rules are not in force yet, and because SharkScope still has a
chance to comply with the rules, we will not be warning or punishing
players who use it for the time being.
Regarding our shuffle, it is completely random, favoring or disfavoring no
player over any other. The computerized methods we use to shuffle the deck
are more than sufficient to ensure complete randomization of the cards,
and complete unpredictability of the cards to come. You can see the
description of these methods at:
http://www.pokerstars.com/security.html
In addition, we track all hands dealt daily to see if there is any
statistically significant variance.
In fact, we gave the source code to two independent auditors who reviewed
our shuffle algorithm and found it sound and random. You may read the
analyses of these auditors at:
http://www.pokerstars.com/rng_audit.html
We have dealt over 15,000,000,000 hands, and have freely given out real
money hand histories any time somebody has requested them. Not once has
anybody found any indication that our shuffle is not 100% random, and many
who have undertaken such studies have posted their findings to the
Internet. You may find just two of them here:

If you have further questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact
us.
Regards,

if you were curious you could used the search function and would have seen many other people ask the same questions. |
