brb depositing to play some heads-up finally.

Stars should allow a one time screen name change now and everything would be perfect.

Fuck yeah, Stars ftw.

I'm disappointed they didn't do it earlier thou, if a cease and desist letter was all that was needed.

how about poker-edge, doesnt have hud stats but still ok for bumhunters

hmm my guess is they are just gonna make some private 3rd party website

unlikely an empty cease and desist was all they needed, ive been told directly from them that they have been wanting to get rid of PTR for a while now but that it wasnt an easy task.

Great that they managed to do it without altering their software (like ftp did), cool.

guess they're gonna lose a lot of business suddenly.. the whole ptr site is down right now but im def cancelling my subscription when it comes back up

my ptr subscription ran out in march, gg =D

A cease-and-desist letter is pretty serious business and if you can't back it up with a justifiable lawsuit you can be in big trouble yourself.

A lot of time and work must have gone into this project of stopping them.

hhdealer.com now go after ppl selling HH, that is i think the real owner or at least heavily affiliated with PTR

reported to pokerstars

snitches get stitches

So basically, PokerStars doesn't want PTR to datamine from them anymore.

If PTR stops charging for its service, do they still have to stop what they're doing?

You could always create a new website for datamining, but, stuff like that takes time. Even doing something simple as re-directing a websites address would get annoying after awhile, so if PTR were to close or stop offering their service, I don't think there would be another site to pick up its slack.

Maybe I'm wrong, dunno. This isn't something as small as downloading someone video and keep reposting it on the internet after it's been taken down by a website.

lol @ dgmt and ket

kind of sucks now I cannot go through all the sessions of people like Kanu

I wish I was good enough to win on Stars midstake, I'd so play there lol.

I get really intimidated by all the reg like stats, and when I look at a table and there's lots of 18/16, 9% 3b, I go "eeeek".

sry for qq xD
