Default Re: New PokerStars Data Policy

If you walked around a B&M casino with a big neon sign that displayed lifetime losses for gamblers and you held it over their heads while they were playing blackjack or slots do you think they would continue playing?

Sites like sharkscope have a large psychological impact on the game. Someone could easily deposit $200/week and think nothing of being down for a year - don't ask/don't tell/don't pay attention. But you get someone at the table saying, "ZOMG you've lost $10,000 at $20 SnGs you're a big retarded fish" and they think to themselves, wow I could have bought a Kia.
