Hi
2 questions:
1.Is it possible to gather player info/stats while not playing yourself(or sitting out)?

2.Is there any other way to increase the amount of player stats in HEM? by for example exchanging databases between HEM users? anything else that is done that I may not know of?:)
Thanks

1 - Many sites (like ftp/stars) do not allow datamining or the use of hand histories you did not actually participate in. If you break their rules you run the risk of losing your bankroll.

You can prefetch 1 hand at ftp/stars to get the HUD before sitting, but you cant actively datamine.

2 - Some sites dont care, and there are many sites where you can buy hand histories. Some people also trade databases, but I dont recommend any of these options personally.
