Imagine sitting down at a poker table with 9 total strangers and automatically knowing everything about their game. Imagine having knowledge equal to sitting with each of them for hundreds of hours and closely studying their every move. This is exactly what a dataminer will allow you to do. When used along with a heads up display and tracking software (like PokerTracker) you can have thousand of hands of data displayed right on your screen on every player at your table. How does it work?
The dataminers will operate tables for you whenever you are away from your computer and will take note of every single action that the players at the specific tables make. Your dataminer would be watching at least 20 tables even if you are sleeping. The data recorded is then imported into a special database and other information such as heads up display that are directly displayed on your online poker table. The question now is why is it so important to have data on every online player?
You may play 30 or so hands with a player and think you have them pegged. They haven't played a hand yet so their super tight right? The answer is maybe. 30 hands is better than 0 hands but what does it really tell you. Maybe that player had a really cold run of cards and just didn't have anything worth playing. The truth is that the sample size is just too small.
A week's worth of datamining would provide you with a great deal of data on a lot of online poker players. Using the data that you already have, you can easily say that the player you are observing may not be a very good opponent. The more data you have, the more accurate it becomes. Datamining will give you much better information about every online player that you meet.
Datamining is also very useful for table selection if you use it together with a poker table scanner. Having valuable information on every player at the table would absolutely benefit you on online poker games.
The professional poker players have used datamining and surely by this time, they already know a lot about you. Don't you believe that you should be using the same strategy?
Be sure to check with your poker room of choice to see if they allow data mining before engaging in any such practices. Breaking the rules of your poker room may result in closure of your account in some cases.
