Does anybody know if this legal? Is it worth doing before moving up a limit?
Don't know if datamining is allowed, but why not just download a PT database from this forum or the german one? They have lots over there
It's not allowed on Party. People still do it, so use somebody else's DB if you must. Datamining is overrated in my opinion, for NL at least. I thought having a 300K hands DB would help me a lot (on another site). But all it did was identifying regulars. Even could not tell reliably a winning player from a losing one - too volatile - without 10K for that player or so (which number you can only have for regulars). Normally, couple of orbits at a table gives you enough idea about everybody without datamined DB.
Got spade eye now and think it is brilliant. Highly recommended. As for German forum, i find it hard to decipher.
This is the general forum for no limit: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/de/forum/board.php?boardid=1365&sid=
Just click on Party/mansion/whatever and then you can search a topic with NL100 or something in the name.
