I will be petitioning the the poker providers as of this evening to try and get measures implemented that combat againts poker trackers as they provide an unfair advantage. A computer databank with every move of a player being taken into account at every given moment constitutes an unfair advantage in my opinion unless those moves are ones personal moves and that persons moves alone! This is because those without access to such programs are not able to compile and correspond data in the same mass and manner. Trackers do provide an advantage and are good for analysis of personal play but what is not being taken into account is the fact that poker IS NOT PERSONAL game. Thats solitaire if you are interested.
Grounds for the petition are going to be based on this unfair advantage.
In case that is not enough to gain the requested security measures against illegal and legal poker trackers I will also be adding these for evidentiary support.
1.) In accordance to (Full Tilt Terms&Conditions EULA,
4.2. You acknowledge that you have no right to have access to the Software in source code form or in unlocked coding or with comments.)
Poker Trackers cannot intake data for analysis or display information inside the FullTilt poker tables (I.E. HUD's) without violationg this clause due to the nature that programs transmit data in code and code interacts with code.
2.) (10.3. EXTERNAL PLAYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS (EPAs)
We prohibit the use of external player assistance programs (EPA programs) which are designed to provide an "unfair advantage" to players. EPA programs include computer software (other than the game client provided by us), and non-software-based databases or profiles (e.g., web sites and subscription services). In this clause 10.3. an "unfair advantage" is gained where a player accesses or compiles information on other players beyond that which the player has personally observed through the player's own game play.)
While acknowledging the unfair advantage gained with certain poker trackers that 'data mine' it leaves room for trackers using personal games. It is not taking into account that human nature does not allow for compilation and recollection of "every and all" moves through out the history of all hands they have played. While this is arguable; you must consider the fact that computer programs can calculate on an exponential factor faster than humans with more variabes on the same accord. Now, take a poker players tracker away and ask him how many times his opponent has 3bet from his position. Was he right? odds are no yet with the track he knows exactly and by means of EXTERNAL PROGRAM ASSISTANCE he has more accurate information to make a decision with against somone that would most likely be innacurate at telling how many 3bets without the program. This proves unfair advantage.
It is a simple idea that I am proposing that shouldn't be too out of the way for the poker providers so I hope to see it implemented. The idea is that they provide us with an option to change our ingame nickname ONCE every 3 months to ensure that whatever trackers are present are a. not compiling huge histories on 1 nickname leading to complete domination of that player and b. to ensure that the history sharing issue is being countermeasured effectively.
