LOL @ comparing murdering someone (legally) and trying a little bit harder to play weaker oppo at a poker table
That must be part of the next 'Kill em all...' book.
I suppose my wonder is where the line is drawn, all winning players must be targeting weaker players to some point, if it's OK to pick a seat to the left of a player you know is poor, why is it worse to have someway of flagging that seat being available.
You are right though, it is the sign of a weaker player and they will find themselves being beaten by the game if they plateau at that level... if nothing else will start to find better regs starting to target them.

haha.
I've discussed this with Paul off thread today, and he's used examples of racism and ra pe. Now murder!
I think hardcore game selection is absolutely fine.
If someone wanted to tip me off when a good game was running that I was unaware of, I'd be happy. However, I wouldn't reciprocate, if I find a good table, the last thing I'm going to do is let other regs know and have it eat into my profitability.
OK so dehumainise the person A person B. What if there was an app available that scanned lobbies and sent u a pm/txt whenever one of your favourite fish was sat at a cash table? Would you buy it? Would you use if it was free? Posted by Phantom66
There is on stars, theyre called scripts, and no I wouldn't use them.
I have nothing against table selection, and I do have a mental list of people I think are vv weak players,I'm sure we all have coloured tags so could quickly look at tables and see the bad players, but the difference is, I have to login myself, I have to check the tables and see if they're around etc. I dont just get to sit round spending time with the family waiting for a notification a weak player has sat down.
Aha that explains the context of "using scripts" earlier, a script is a piece of code - usually related to automating data access or manipulation so there are scripts for lots of things.
I figured it would be possible to create an app as described and didnt know they existed.
I wouldnt create, promote or use one either - just thought the "collusion" maybe clouded peoples judgement as to what was acceptable or not.
Surely long term counter productive, even the fishiest fish are going to get fed up whne Reg A insta sits whenever they start playing?

For the purpose of the thread debate.......
What if it was a free service provided by the poker client which showed you where noted fish are within said client each time you log in?

@Phantom - Yeah scripts are something that have been in use for a little while now on Stars. Basically they're observing tables all the time and when it sees a very weak player sit, it will automatically sit you on his table. Ofc tons of regs are using it so they're all in a 'queue' to get that next spot on the table with the weak player etc, so the result is everytime a weak player sits, 5 regs fill the table in seconds.
The bolded bit is the exact point, but it's done by selfish, short sighted players who don't think about the long term health of the game (which provides their 'salary') and don't realise they're gonna be putting off lots of players from sitting in those games.

Think there time is coming to an end though, because if the FTP changes are a success, cant see why they wouldn't be, you can bet not to far down the line they will be implemented on Stars Which is gn scriptors and also makes good bots life that bit harder to.
