I am getting very close to making the purchase of one of these pieces of tracking software. I know that they allow you to track your hands, as well as identify others as strong, weak, passive or aggressive players so you know what game to sit down at ahead of time.
Apparently there are databases of millions of hands of play info you can get from vendors on the web that are aggregated contributed hands that are captured by 'site members' so if you've ever played on one of the sites they monitor, you are almost definatly in their database. The only way you can avoid having your data shared is to 'join' these hand history aggregation sites, which often means shelling out $20-$30 a month. This sounds a little like blackmail, but I guess if you gotta play on the internet, you have to deal with the consequences.
Has anyone used one of these 'member' groups and can you comment on the quality and usefulness of the data you receive? |
