Here fishy fishy

Something on the Mansion thread got me thinking (a small miricle in itself:lol). I'm wondering if anyone thinks it might be a good idea to set up a fish database. My thinking goes along these lines: You fairly often come across newbies who while they learn are profitable but sooner or later (and normally sooner) they learn or go bust and your goldmine is gone. Occasionally you come across someone who thinks they are the next Doyle but actually knows less then your average losing player. Now if you keep a record of these players you can take advantage of them up to point i.e. your knowledge of that player is confined to your experiences of playing against him/her. Now say you were to combine not just yours but a whole forums experience you'd be in a much better position to take advantage of that particular player. I can see a couple of problems with this, but the advantage is quite clear you make more money because you know more about more of these types of player on more sites. As far as problems go so far I've come up with: 1) Is it cheating? It could be said that this would be a form of collusion, but so could a lot of posts on this forum such as "look at this site the players are loose". Where do you draw the line? 2) What information do you collate? I mean what is it that makes a fish, someone who is all round terrible is unlikely to stay around for long. The real money makers are the ones who play well enough to break even or make a little profit against the newbies but are out of their depth when they come up against someone who can play. 3) How do you evalute the information your given? Someone who is a fish at the $10 stt buy could be a shark at the $1/2 level and a reasonable player at $5. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, is it posibile, is it cheating ,could it work or would it be of any benefit?

Re: Here fishy fishy I think a database of loser's is tantamount to theft,and I think it would reflect badly on the forum to have one. Don't know what others think. I don't post here often, but this is something I would frown upon, c'mon fair play for all. :nana :nana edit coz i wanted some dancin nanas. however sentiment is still there,surely the regulars on this site have all the advantage they need.;)
