USEFUL NEW TRACKING FACILITIES FOR ONLINE POKER

8 August 2008

MarketPulse gets 8 new categories


The very useful MarketPulse section at Poker Listings.com has been augmented by 8 new tracking facilities, enhancing the original MarketPulse features of biggest pots won and a player search function profiling over 3.4 million online players.

The new additions include the following key elements:

* Real-time lists of the top 100 moneymakers and top 100 money losers in online poker over the last day, week, month and year based on millions of cash-game hands tracked by the MarketPulse software.

* Real-time lists of the top 100 most aggressive and top 100 least aggressive players in online poker based on the PokerListings.com "Aggression Factor" (bets+raises/calls).

* Real-time lists of the 100 players in online poker with the highest BB/100 and lowest BB/100 over the last day, week, month and year.

* Real-time lists of the 100 players in online poker with the Highest VP$IP and Lowest VP$IP over the last day, week, month and year.

The star attraction of the new features is the top moneymakers/biggest losses lists, giving an appreciation of who the true high-rollers in the game are month-to-month.

The stats listed by this valuable information facility continue to show how much money flows in poker network action. For example, the top player earner in July, based on cash games tracked on all top poker networks was DeucesCracked coach Ariel "DaEvils" Schneller, who beat the game's top players for $325 857 at Full Tilt Poker. Coming in second was player "present," who made $305 221. Rounding out the top 5 were lolzcapaneo at $275 981, Zugwat at $191 360 and luckexpress10 at $173 687 - all successful in cash games tracked at Full Tilt.

Top Losses in July were headed by high-stakes regular player "patatino" with a net loss of $331 639. Other big losers were "whitelime," who finished down $205 187 for the month, and online player star Tom "durrrr" Dwan, down $179 061, both again at Full Tilt network.

When it came down to traffic increases in July, Full Tilt network took the lead with a traffic rise to 6 839 players on average in July over each 24 hour period.
