As many of you know, the website
Official Poker Rankings is a site that allows players to check up on their own stats as well as their opponents and friends and see what tournaments they play as well as their successes/failures as well as their percentile among the site that they play on. It provides a comprehensive stats program, which I orgasm looking at because it is soooo cool. It shows me that I come in first place in 9-man sng's much more often then second and third. Today, not thinking it was any different day, I went to check up on how my friend did on a tournament. I was absolutely outraged to find that Full Tilt has decided to remove all ties with Offical Poker Rankings because it apparently, "gives players an unfair advantage" and "very similar to how a shared hand history database works." This is total horse shit. Official Poker Rankings is a free site that everyone can use and the only help it gives is letting opponents know how skilled the opposing players are. It also lets me to track the big dogs and see their scores, but now I'm left in the dark.
I learned that through their percentile ratings, that 80% of all online players are
LOSING players. This fact might be a reason why Full Tilt wanted to cut ties because this shows that a disproportionate amount of players are giving their money to Full Tilt. This is obviously not a great idea of mine, but anybody else have reasons why Full Tilt really wanted to cut ties with OPR because their reasoning already is pretty bs.
