Pretty obvious that's not a faked screenshot because someone would have to be incredibly sad to take the time to get all the stats in the correct / multiple places.
I presume a very select few knew about it before today and kept quiet about it which I don't blame them for as it give them a bigger edge over certain others.
Let's see today when people really start digging.....will be fun
Must be pretty easy to ID the user by the hand number on the screenshot of the tables no??
Do this and ask them directly.. Cant see them being that bothered about being identified otherwise the owner of screenshot would have blanked the hand number right?
LOL now you're deleting my posts really sky? whoever deleted my post pm me why when i posted a valid and important question this won't just go away cause you can delete threads and posts and i sure as **** won't shut up WHO deleted the first topic on this subject and why? what right do you have to deny people this ridiculously important information??

What did your deleted post say?
This thing has been downloaded enough for basically every reg to be using it, sigh.
like i said at the start of this thread, all i wanted to know was "who" deleted the original post and "why". if its a cover up, then i am disgusted.
if this software is out there, then so be it and i hold no grudge towards those using it and keeping it under wraps. what my gripe would be is if sky had tried to keep this quiet KNOWING some people were using it and still stating it was not compatible with their software.
please can i have an official responce from sky . cheers phil

Its a bit harsh to blame sky, because if you purchase holdem 2 you cant see all the stats provided in the screenshot unless you have the technical ability using skysckraper to manipulate the sky poker database to provide you with the relevant stats.
Soo much for the famous community. Some of the regs have basically been using this data to gain an unfair advantage on other players, be them reg or non reg. It stinks to high heaven.

Just making a few points to clear up what I know. Anything else is speculation.
I am a forum Mod.
I didn't delete the original thread and don't know who did.
I would imagine your post from last night/this morning was deleted since you made two comments, one aimed at Mods, the other aimed at Mods or Sky Poker employees.
Speculation:
Last night there were in the region of 16 downloads of the screenscraper software. From what I understand (reading the readme file) it looks like you need to install and configure Python, the Java Runtime Engine, Selenium, download and install the package and configure it to work.
(edit: and also get the package to export in a Stars format to be imported by some other software)
My guess is that since the user base of this appears to be so small it is news to Sky Poker that it even exists.
I downloaded it all in the early morning and HEM Trial, unfortunately im not much of a whizz and although it appears on sky poker table i havent worked out how to get stats or it to recognise the hand history.
Again im not too fussed if it can be used, first is if sky were aware of this? which i doubt it.
Secondly its pretty sneaky of those using it when 99% of players on here were not aware of it, so it is a form of cheating in my books. I can understand if you want to gain and edge or play more tables but this isnt just gaining an edge its dishonest and cheating.
Comments
I doubt Sky even know about this and you can't blame the players who have found out about it from keeping it between themselves I suppose.
now you're deleting my posts
really sky?
