    Default Fulltilt demands OPR to remove all player statistics

    Yup... as I'm sure many of you have already heard....
    Full Tilt Poker on OPR
    June 2009


    Full Tilt Poker (FTP) has demanded us to remove all FTP tournaments and player statistics from Official Poker Rankings (OPR) because they suddenly decided that OPR "gives players an unfair advantage" and works "very similar to how a shared hand history database works".

    We don't believe OPR gives players an unfair advantage. OPR is a free site available to all players and in our opinion any player should be allowed to use OPR to follow their progress, for stacking, collusion detection, community discussions, competitions and to see how they are doing in comparison to other poker players.

    All the data we collect is publicly viewable at the end of each tournament in the tournament lobby. We do not collect hand histories nor do we provide access to any hand history information. OPR has nothing to do with a shared hand history database.

    We have proposed Full Tilt Poker different solutions to keep FTP tournaments on OPR and we hope they will reverse their decision and help us clear this misunderstanding soon. But for now we have decided to follow their demands to remove all FTP tournaments on OPR.

    Damn..1st time I head of this. I think financial means are involved since a lot of new web sites like sharkscope appear from nowhere and ask you to pay a monthly fee to use their service.

    No structure
    If anything PTR should be shut down first. I mean, you can order batches of HH's on people you've never played with before. That's just sick.
