Player Profiling

August 25, 2007 on 11:39 pm | In General |

I have recently come across a product that allows you to download hand histories from up to 16 tables at your favourite site so that you can use this data to find weak or avoid strong opponents when it comes to playing cash games. OK its not cheap - I couldn’t get mine for free as I already had accounts at the various sites so I paid $99 for the program and then $54 for an Idle Miner license to mine the data. I am starting from the bottom so I have mined over 20,000 hands at NL $10 level in the last couple of days and I need to go through the data shortly. I have, however, used some criteria from the Black Hat program to mine the data within my Poker Tracker software and I have about 30 names from over 2,500 players at this level and I have included those 30 as buddies within Poker Usher. Poker Usher will then tell me if any of my players are online and in addition it will tell me the strength of the opposition at the table that they are at. There was one table today which unfortunately I didn’t get on where all the players had negative balances and the rating was 5 stars. These are the sort of opportunities that this software can help you find. Hopefully it will not take too long to get back my investment in this software. It is possible to get the software for free with just a license for your favourite poker room on Idle Miner to pay for which would make the software even better value.
