Hello Francisco,
Thank you for contacting PokerStars.
PokerTableRatings (also known as TableRatings) is a service that is based
upon datamining, and consequently, we prohibit it at all times.
This is discussed in passing on our page on prohibited services and
software, which you can read at:
http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/room/prohibited/
The relevant part says:
Q. In general, what kinds of tools and services are prohibited?
A. The following types of tools and services are prohibited:
... 2. Any program that works off of a central database of player results or
hands played is prohibited. ...
Datamining is not allowed because it does not approximate how face to face
poker works.
Poker is by nature and definition a game of incomplete information. A
significant part of the game is in acquiring information through the normal
course of gameplay, including information about player tendencies,
aggression, loose/tight style, how often they bluff and so forth.
Just as you could not "datamine" every table for hours on end at the
Bellagio due to physical limitations, we have a rule in place that
datamining is not permitted here even though a computer can easily do so.
PokerStars is aware that there are people who try to break our rules on
datamining, and consequently, I'm pleased to advise that we are in the
process of improving our software to stop this activity.
While, from an outsider's point of view, it may appear to be a simple
software tweak, there are a variety of internal systems that are intertwined
that need to be adjusted. Our hand histories are obviously a core component
of our services, and we need to be very careful that any changes that we
make do not have unintended consequences that hurt other players.
Despite the challenges, we are making very real progress on this project,
and I envisage that you will be pleased with the improvements in the near
future.
If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us back
at any time.
Regards,
David C

I encourage u guys to do the same, PM support complaining about pokertable ratings =D
Btw nl25 seems really easy now, but watching some nl50 regs I met before makes me feel i'm with the losers =(. Anyways, gonna be overrolled for nl50 again when I hit 50k fpps and gonna be back to pwn some asses; i've worked on my game and it seems just some simple preflop adjustments gonna avoid me some gross spot on laters streets at nl50.
GL ALL
Cause u bothered sitting there reading this, u earned to watch her sitting:

| Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same | |

| I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |
