Is 888 violating privacy?

[MK_]

Though so much more useful! I finding winnings without loses fairly useless data. It does show ability to win games and obviously money made but in that sort of format profit made without showing losses than would be far more useful in determining skill which I assume it is aimed at or just an exciting figure to show?

...yeah by itself it means nothing👍

Don't know if a traditional hud really works with snap so wonder if they just give you the players stats for that format based on their play /hands rather than observed play?

PT4 & HEM works on SNAP tables.
What might be interesting is if I were to take some screenshots comparing the stats. I'm seeing on PT4 vs. the ones given on 888

It suggests a person's level of experience. But of course one big win that a freeroller sattied into could alter one's perception of that player if we were playing with them in say a $5 MTT.
I noticed today in the Cardschat freeroll, on the single table I lasted a few hands on, some players had 2 or $300 in total winnings and a few others over $10k.

Do you have direct evidence of 'inflated numbers' btw? The stats are relatively easy to check for a player to see if they are reasonably accurate, you could just keep a manual count over a small sample for example.

I don't have evidence, however I think it's fairly obvious



GGPoker is definitely biggest site by far at the moment, however the numbers online shown on their client or at PokerScout doesn't match at all how many people are playing tourneys and cash. There is no way they have over 400 000 people logged in. They probably have slightly more online than other sites due to the extra features such as staking but to this level...? I am doubtful. Maybe I can be proven wrong?

I don't consider this a violation, but I definitely consider this rubbish to be another mediocre software update. I hope they will pay attention to the players' complaints and remove this rubbish.

all onlaine poker is a rubbish did you know that -all online poker is bullshit, did you know that?

I don't know about the rest of you, but this HUD only gets in the way. I would be happy to get rid of this feature.

Why do you think so?
For example, for me, what you call crap is an additional source of income, and even if this income is only $100 per month, I still wouldn't call online poker crap

You have to agree to their Terms and Conditions to play on their site. When they update their Terms and Conditions you have to agree again.

It's the same as the people who enter televised tournaments, punt get embarrassed and then said they never agreed to have their hole cards filmed.

I'm not a particularly big fan but it also doesn't give out that much information other than you might be new if you don't have many winnings.

Also you should know how much you're winning or losing while playing poker I'm not sure why being able to see that would deter you from playing. And the game needs fun players, there's no shame in being one.

of course, money doesn't stink because even if compared to murderers, criminals do their job, earn money and feed their children, but how many more families get sick from it
poker does the same thing - it feeds some but kills many

where do poker sites get their big profits from + also where do you get the 100 bucks you win every month or is it all out of thin air

Still working for you. H2N doesnt seem to pop up, but does for MTT and regular cash tables. It still records the hands tho

Thanks but dont worry, H2N does work it just took half the session to pop up!

P.s. 25z looks soft at the moment

PT4 is working perfectly.

Looking like I'll be loading up a bunch of MTT's today

I like that the room is trying to introduce something new. Yes, it lags behind the other top rooms by 10 years, but at least it’s something. Another question is how true this information is. The amount that a person has won for the entire time is indicated without deducting rake and is not indicated as a plus or minus for the person playing, nothing extra

I don't consider this new functionality to be a breach of privacy, but I do think it's completely unnecessary. And in my opinion, there should be a function in the settings that would allow players to disable this HUD if they do not need it.

Useful to know although hate SNAP tables. Not sure if the data started on the huds or not when they introduced them apart from the mentioned SNAPs, would could create a mismatch although you would expect similar stats on stuff like vpip.

Been trying to enter more games there as they put on a heap of freerolls so try and invest in sites like that. Was never keen though on pushing all the satties to turbos except the main mystery bounty that play on Sundays so trying to stick to regular tourneys more.

Hud stats are seeming off to me now. Had $9k+ in earnings, then suddenly on the final table I only had $384 for the rest of the tournament. Reverted back later but was looking at another player who was hyper aggressive which reflected PT4 but was his stats were very tight in the inbuilt hud.

stats on the built-in HUD for MTT, are they for all games/hands that person has played on 888?

Can't be, PT4 is picking up more hands played than the hud. Although one player on my table has more on table hud states than PT4 but that could be from where I have played on another machine. Not sure if the hud is any games you have played against that player on any computer. No idea if it counts phones.

Try contacting them to see if there is a way to turn it off. You also have the option of choosing another platform that protects your privacy.
