Just so people are aware, some sites see this as unfair play (because it is) and prohibit the use of such programs, dont be suprised if you account gets suspended. At the moment few are taking a stance on the issue, but im quite sure soon enough they will. You should check with your poker room before you begin datamining.
I guess business is business....
Personally I think the only ppl who should get to see any of my HH is those who either won or lost at showdown and those at that table.(if I choose to show)
However I do like the HH converter.

As long as there are data mining programs available, people will continue to use them until ALL poker sites ban there use (which likely won't happen any time soon) and actively punish cheaters who are caught with them. The reward/consequence factor makes it likely that people will continue to use these programs and go to great lengths to disguise there use and break any security used to block these programs.

+1 One has to accept this as a part of online poker.
Posted by photolong: How do these sites get the hand historys from sites like full tilt , pokerstars etc ....do they have a deal with them
You open maybe 50 tables without playing and the hh's of each table are saved. So, OFFCOURSE no deal.
About PT, I don't use it, cause f I understand correctly, youre hands are also available to anyone else using PT. Anyone know for sure? Dont trust the online database, if I could save it offline, I would def. use it.
------------ Also, I play sngs & mtts, maybe PT is not that useful, maybe it is.

@doomdy, no point in a poll for bankrollmob its a business, without sponsers there would be less freerolls and outher offers, cant relly blaim them. @shokaku, no we dont, the fact we do is the reason why it exists, networks such as cake and Microgaming and outhers are putting a stop to it. We cant keep rolling over, if site A supports it then go play site B, they will soon get the message. BTW Iv no problem with trackers to follow your own game or HUDs.

Nope. It exists because a lot of players think it helps them more than it is hurting them.
Kinda of a pointles reply, as A it does help them and B if we all moved to a site that does not support it it would no longer exist and C as im sure you know, my point was we do not have to accept it. Either you compleatly missed the point or just wanted to take it out of contex.

Sucks but from a business point of view then i can sort of understand it. If it helps reduce BRM's cost of running the site then it can be tolerated. Personally dont like it though, doesnt help poker if everyone just plays like mindless bots and act on accord to the HHs they aquired.

to that and op mentioned site. All I see is the list of sites not worth my time in that drop down menu.
We at Hand HQ want to help as many poker players as possible, but the internet is a large place meaning many players will never experience the gains that datamined hands bring.
We would like you to help spread the word of Hand HQ and in return we will help you. We will give you $10 Hand HQ credit for linking to HandHQ.com on a poker forum. If you link to us on 2 forums, you get $20, if you mention it on 10 you get $100.
But please do not spam any forum. If the thread is locked within 2 days of posting it does not count. If you have made a post submit the URL here and we will credit your account after 2 days.
hmmmmm so you only put the link up for this freebie then bigfoot
