Poker Table Ratings?

Doesn't seem very accurate IMO, says I've only played about 1.5k hands on bodog and I've been on Bodog for years. Anyone else think not everything is recorded and that select stats are monitored?

I'm not going to argue if someone's PTR report is 100% correct, but... I've never been -$1000 on Bodog, ever.

Some poker tracking software says Im down like $200 on fultilt in tournaments and somehow up in ring games. I have not even put $200 bucks into tournaments or SNGs much less to be down that much. I know I am up on tournaments and slightly down on SNGs. Let me assure you that is completely backwards Im up on tournaments and WAY down on ring games. So some software is pretty good and others not so much. I dont use any of them anymore but I understand why people do.

It is only inaccurate when you are losing money . In all seriousness, it is said to be about 95% accurate for ftp and such but I am sure that number goes down when you reach sites like bodog and the IPN.

They just started monitoring Bodog, Absolute, and others recently, and their accuracy is steadily improving. For hands I currently am playing on Absolute, its pretty accurate. Unfortunately it decided to start tracking when I went on a pretty epic downswing, so my graph looks like ass >_<.

It's quite accurate with my own tracking. Unfortunately.

I'm sorry to hear that. No bueno...

The only other thing is it doesn't seem to track (as far as Bodog is concerned) anything less than $100NL, vewwy vewwy odd... I easily have at least 6000 hands at $100NL last year when I was playing $100NL, and the thing said it tracked since March only like 186 hands... And the $300NL only shows 280 hands, and it's more like 12000. I dunno I guess it'll work to my advantage at some point if those charts stay all F'ed up. Someone will call me down with middle pair or something and then WHAMO! $600 pot in my pocket.

Exactly, It is much more profitable to have a bad and inaccurate ptr than to have a good one.

I agree with you dmorris, mine is on a downslop and seems to be right on the money. X

i can never tell if you are making fun of me or being serious.

can someone who plays a lot of cash on bodog look theirs up on PTR and let me know if it's accurate for you? also, most importantly have been on that site for at least 2 years...

I am serious like 95% of the time.

For sharkscope, they're not accurate. I've entered tournaments using points instead of money. I've satellited my way into Daily Dollar using full tilt points. Everytime I don't cash, they assume I lost $1 but in reality, I haven't lost a single penny. Even for tournaments like FTOPS/miniFTOPS warm-ups, BLT, Record Breaker, etc, I entered by satelliting using points. According to them, I lost $5.5 everytime I didn't cash. But I haven't lost a single penny.

Even rebuy tournaments, I register for 10 cent donkaments and never play them. On sharkscope, they'll say I lost 60 cents or more since they average out the prizepool with number of players.

But PTR, I know that they do not record all the tables. I'm not sure. But now, it's even harder bcz they can't record Rush Poker.

I just went there for the first time yesterday
I'm missing about 18k hands of info from my history at Ipoker but overall I'd say the info is pretty accurate for me.

If you want to track your play 100% accurate use PT3 and dont rely on the poker sites to do so.I have used Pt3 and there is a difference in the # of hands played and cash won or lose I have found about 5% difference in the accurcy of poker sites..

Just my thoughts

Exactly why I think playing the non-hold'em games still has a hope of being profitable. The props at sites just keep playing me, and their 100% rakeback masks how much money they're losing.

they talk about missing hands on thier forum

They do miss hands, but i reckon its about 90% accurate for me at pokerstars.

Just went to look and it says I played 300ish hands yesterday when I played around 1200. Says I'm down overall (probably true after a silly stint on 3/6 FL- I'm an idiot but I got better). But I've tracked my .02/.05 nl progress and have been earning around 21b/100 hands where it says I'm about 2.8bb/100 there and it says I've played around 3500 hands where I have well over that recorded. I play on Pokerstars under this name. Additionally I play 21/18 and it says I'm 51% looser and 100% more aggressive than I should be preflop. so take that for whatever its worth

I used it every day... not only to track myself, but other players I find at the tables... I find it to be very accurate...

However, you have to understand... that it doesn't have every hand since you started... it only goes back about a year or two... in data... so if you started playing back in 2004... they wouldn't have that info...

I'm not even talking about 2004, I mean yesterday. I played 1200 hands yesterday and it picked up 300 of them. Now I play at low limits, .02/.05 so maybe that is a factor too, I dont know.

I guess it's accurate for me. It has me losing around $100 or so, although I only deposited $25 in the account. The difference must be rakeback earnings, bonuses and what I won in heads up s n'g's.

My report card there is straight fs until showdown, where its usually hovering an A... go figure, suck everywhere, come out on top in showdown.

It says it only tracks .50/1.00 on Bodog and higher, so if you're a micro player those aren't getting tracked.

It only Tracks Hold'em and Omaha, if you play the other games like, Stud, Razz, or the Mixed games like the 8-game, it will not track those.

I noticed that on PokerStars if I play a session, it takes about 12 hours to have all of my sessions up on the site, but on Full Tilt is a little faster, maybe with in 30 mins.

This is pretty standard when I check PTR vs what actually happened for my day. This is today's session according to PTR and then my HEM stats.
