    Bumhunting on pokerstars to build a bankroll
    Might make a video of my bumhunting adventures.

    For those who don't know what bum hunting means.

    Bum Hunting -

    The act of seeking out bad players to play against in poker.

    God speed gentlemen.

          You follow all the blackjack players that hit a 12 vs a 6 til they sit down at the poker table.

            Not betting these since I'm busted on all my sportsbook accounts but I like the 76ers +2 and the nets +123.

              There are tons of bad players on poker stars. I make a killing with these dumb people play poker.

              I use the same for live games in my area. Love to play live poker on weekends when these clowns come out and drink a storm as they play as well. Some times I feel bad to take all the money but after I look at my bankroll, all I can do is smile....

                  Sharkscope is an essential tool for playing online poker, why play with sharks when you can find goldfish? There is nothing better than when you sharkscope a player and you see the little goldfish jumping from the bowl next to their name.

                        you can use it for sng for sure. Whether it is available for BoDog I'm not sure. Do you know which network they belong to?

                            Pretty sure they are their own entity, not sure they are connected to a network.

                                  Just look for anyone who has not filled in their avatar yet there. Definite sign of being a newbee.

                                    When was the last time you used SS, they are curenntly trying an experiment with pokerstars and unless you opt in to that experiment the only info they give you about any given player is a numbered rating.

                                    Have you opted in? what amount did you have to send to sharkscope through PS to opt in, how long latter did they return opt in deposit?which is a micro amount, that is just in place to give PS INFORMATION.

                                    Pokerstars does not like or want there players using SS, thus the opt in system, problem with this is by opting in you are telling PS you are a SS user and many players do no opt in thus you dont get their stats and all around info, you must base your decision on 1 numbered rating and recent results, everything else is hidden,

                                    Poor sharkscope held hostage by PS, hey have lost many paying customers and are suppose to reveal soon weather or not their staying with this system.

                                    by the way there are other ways of getting player info thru other sites.

                                      Anybody else play on Bodog? I would like to know what others see about me when I am playing against them. Only in SNG and MTT though, because I have really sucked in cash games for some reason.

                                        You can use them for just about any site.....one of the few you cannot use them for is Bodog.

                                        If you play stricly at Bodog SS has no value to you.

                                          This methodology of yours may put an end to the likes of SHARKSCOPE and OFFICIAL RANKINGS.

                                          Newbees dont always equal poor players, just new to the site.

                                            I don't play a PS, I should have stated in my post. I am not aware of the program you are speaking of, I play Cake, Cereus, Merge, and Full Tilt networks, SS is essential at these rooms.

                                              I didnt mention to you that i agree haveing them is a must have if your a regular player.

                                              SIDE NOTE; at POKERSTARS, while using SHARKSCOPE,if you berate a player by saying (inthe chat box) anything about his stats and that player lets a mod know about this you will be severly warned the 1st time, the 2nd time it happens, they mail you a check for your balance and its goodbye PS.

                                                          Be carefull guys, I've been hunting sng on pokerstars for a little bit. Then I received a msg from the administrator, telling me they will block my account for a little bit, for the followings reasons
                                                          There are some tools and services which have legitimate uses for analysing your game, but which are not appropriate for use during play. For example, ICM (Independent Chip Model) and Nash Equilibrium tools may be used for post-game analysis and for studying hands which you have previously played. Also, there are some web-based results databases, and its fine to use these to look at your own results. However, you may not use such a tool while the PokerStars software is open. These tools may not be used in conjunction with PokerStars or while the PokerStars client software is open. We recognise that these tools have legitimate uses - perhaps for analysing your game or tracking your results - but we feel that they cross the line of what is acceptable for use during play. PokerStars will take measures to detect these tools and will issue warnings to players using them. PokerStars will also work with the developers of such tools to assist them in complying with the rules.
                                                          They actually didn't warn me, they blocked my account, and froze my money, now I'm banned...
                                                          So just be careful...
