Default Re: Ethics of datamining on stars?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm actually not terribly convinced that datamining has a very big affect on winrate. If you play 50k hands a month you have a very good coverage anyhow. The extra mined hands probably have an an increasingly thin affect on winrate. Especially at higher stakes where issues such as metagame, history and table dynamics are key.

The thing which convinced me to write to Stars about a month ago about it was that I wanted to save some hands of the best 5kNL players to analyze them.
I was quite upset when they told me its not allowed on their site while I know datamining ALL high stakes games are going and many ppl have access to those hands (which was teh same at Party... but there at least you could datamine yourself).
