This isn't exactly what you are looking for but it does give you information about yourself and other players. Check it out.

There is a site called sharkscope you can check peoples stats from SIT n GO tournys only. It's free excpet Pokerstsrs stats u have to opt in for 2cents. It shows graphs and other tools. Thats the site i usually use anyways.

Sharkscope also shows MTT stats as long as it's a buy-in. It doesn't track freerolls or special tournies that you may be in with FPPs.

Please only use for your own resuts.Shark scope for sng resutls,pokertable ratings for cash,an bluff magazine for mtt results.

Whatever you do don't use the info you gather to make fun of your opponents. It accomplishes nothing and may in fact get you a chat ban or even an outright ban from the poker site.

This is a good site for checking online stats: http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/

But if your just looking to see how Pros and other players have done in live tournaments I suggest this site:
http://www.pokerpages.com/

Funny thing, maybe I shouldn't post this but here goes:

At Top Shark they mark me as a King with three stars.

At Poker Listings I'm a "Green Fish" and my only redeeming value is that I'm NOT a calling station .

For this year at "Official Poker Rankings: 77.33% Rank: 368,153 of 1,623,780.

So, watch out what you pay attention to. I love that when people search for me at Poker Listings I come up so weak.

The stats online are just for tourneys. It does help with tourneys. X

sharkscope for mtt's, and sit and go's
pokertableratings for cash games

both are prohibited to be open while running ftp, or pokerstars clients tho.

Can FT and PS really tell when youve pulled this site up while playing with them?

Do you get a warning or what?

Im sure there are a few sights where you can caheck you opp. history

Yes they can, then you will be emailed a warning

how can a poker site tell what activity you are doing on an internet browser?

Why? Fishing for info on players using sites isnt illegal, otherwise no site would allow HUDs.

I seen that officialpokerankings.com makes you register to see your stats. Does this mean you can only see your stats?

HUDs aren't regarded as fishing for info. It's info from hands you've actually played. Those sites offer info from hands you neither played nor observed personally. Regardless of one's own opinion of it, the sites I play on just say "Don't do it, it's forbidden."

he was probably talking about www.pokertableratings.com which shows graphs as well as full sessions of a player(to those who dont know)

True. Pokerstars, specifically, knows everything you're doing on your computer when you are playing in their program/tables. It's stated in the rules it is prohibited to view sites such as pokertableratings, sharkscope, etc, while the Pokerstars software is running. You might likely be warned for a first offense, but if you do not follow their TOS they have full right to boot you and keep your money.

Hehe, I checked myself too:
Rating: 71.00% Rank: 307,735 of 1,061,092...

I didn't realize it. I will stop looking at PTR while I play then.

I haven't been warned yet. Did I get away with it or will they get me when I try to cash out later on?

I usually use poker-edge.com or pokertableratings.com.

It's trivial for any Windows application to list what other applications are both installed and running on your PC. The sites you visit in a web browser display the site title in the window caption, which again is trivial for an application to see.

I dont go to PTR but I go to propokerlabs.com... anyone know full tilt's policy on this?

pokerlistings

but it is not 100% realible , only serve as a parameter

I tried the officialpokerrankings site and after two searches it wanted me to log in. That is how they must track what you are doing if you have to list your account names and sites you play they can tell if you are logged into the site at the same time. I'm 68.54 % , what does ITM stand for? Oh never mind "In the money" lol probably why I dont know what it is lol!

Has anyone here actually gotten this warning? I don't do it "just in case", but I have a firewall that stops Windows itself from doing random things unless I allow it and am pretty sure it would tell me if a poker site tried to do something I had yet to allow it to do. Its actually not trivial its an invasion of privacy that we all agreed to when we joined the site.

The same as for any stats site -- not allowed while you're in-game. They all pretty much prohibit looking up stats or hands that you were not involved in. Of course it's virtually impossible for them to detect and police it outside of a running game, but the terms are pretty explicit regardless. If you were to talk too much about it, say in an internet forum (which nearly all the sites lurk btw) where you also posted your account name, they could conceivably take action, but I don't think they're really farming the forums for violators. Just don't do it in-game!

Yes people have been warned.

You can't stop this behavior with a firewall. A firewall has no control over what an application does to your computer itself, only whether it's allowed to talk to the external network (internet) or not. You must allow your poker client to communicate through the firewall -- it obviously won't work otherwise -- so as far as the firewall is concerned, its job is done.

I'm wondering if you fully read the terms and conditions of a poker site before you signed up, particularly the big ones. Prohibited software and the means to detect it are explicitly mentioned in the T&C of most if not all of them. By accepting the T&C and signing up, you are granting explicit permission for them to monitor what you're doing while the poker client is running. Therefore it is not an invasion of privacy because there should be no expectation of privacy after accepting those terms. It's not like they're viewing your bank account data and watching what pr0n sites you visit. They're protecting their integrity and the expectation of their players to play in a cheat-free environment (as much as possible). So IMO they have every right, because there would otherwise be no way to enforce those rules.

To prove the point about the T&C, here are excerpts from PokerStars and FullTilt (which appear to be written by the same person):

LOL, i guess you didn't read what I said, since I said we all agreed to the violation of privacy (so you posting excerpts from the T&C was a waste of time, but go on proving as many points as you would like). And my firewall does more than just block connections, hence why i said it blocks windows from doing stuff. I can allow programs on the internet, but not allow them to access other parts of my computer and operating system. Its another part of the firewall program, not the firewall part itself.

*Im not saying the program necessarily can stop them from checking what Im doing. And I could careless, I barely ever use those types of sites except to check on my and my friends stats.

I did read what you said, which is why I said it WASN'T a violation of privacy since there is no privacy expected -- it ceases to be a violation when you explicitly grant access.

And splitting hairs thought it may be, as you pointed out, the firewall itself doesn't do ANYTHING related to what applications do on your computer, only that what traffic can go in/out of your computer. The fact you have other components of your internet security suite that may attempt to do those things was not the point, since you just said "firewall." And FWIW, simply enumerating running applications and windows does not trigger any security suite that I'm aware of, it's pretty standard application behavior that tons of apps do and falls well outside the concerns of security software -- they're more concerned with keylogging, process injection, etc. As someone who works in the field, I come across a lot of people who don't know what a firewall does or does not do, and it's my job to help them understand, so it's something I just tend to naturally do. People here educate me about poker, so I try to help educate others as to whatever my specialty might be. Sorry if that offends you, but you don't have to read it either.

As far as "wasting my time" it was an attempt to help, which is never a waste of time. Except when people obviously don't want nor think they need help, which is apparent here so I'll just move along.

Ah well. At my level I'm usually just checking to see if there are any actual good players sitting with me, usually find one or two J+ SnG players at the DD SnGs. Tells me who not to mess with when I have something like TT and they reraise me all in.
