Leading Internet gaming software provider taking serious steps to stop the practice of datamining on its poker network. Read the story here.
I don’t know about this. I mean isn’t this like a politician not being able to research the candidate he is running against ? Or the baseball team that is not allowed to look at scouting reports of statistics and tendencies of opposing players ?
Overall, I personally believe that transparency is a good thing. If it were not for transparency, the recent poker cheating scandals probably never would have been discovered.
In regard to protecting the novice players, they should be playing in the free and low stakes rooms, IMO, until they have honed their skills, and feel ready to be playing in the bigger stakes rooms. The big boys, and “students of the game” (i.e., users of this type of software), aren’t going to be going after the novice players in the small stakes room anyway.
Am I totally off base here ?
