Poker Stars And Data Mining

[Woodbelly 0]

I posted a couple of days ago inquiring about how thepokerdb and sharkscope go about obtaining their data. I decided to contact PS about it. Here is what they responded withWe do not allow datamining on our site.I would advise you not to use those programs as we will have to take action against you if you do.Regards,MathewPokerStars Support TeamI've probably been put on a watch list for asking this question.

Excuse my naviety but isn't Pokertracker a datamining program of sorts? And therefore does PS discourage usage of PT?

datamining is when you're importing hand histories while not playing at the table.

There's no possible way of them knowing that you use one of those sites anyway.Unless you e-mail them and tell them, perhaps. - Oh, and why are you so concerned about how SS/Pdb work?
