PlayerGPS Synopsis
PlayerGPS.com is a service that allows subscribers to receive notifications when players in their alert list sit down at cash game tables. These can be configured for each player on an alert list, with users able to receive notices via e-mail, instant message, or SMS text message. All a user has to do is register, enter the screen names of players they want to track, and let the site do the rest.
PlayerGPS Full Review
Online poker players develop friendships, admire top pros, and love spewy fish that ship off stacks of money. In order to follow their friends, watch top pros, or sit down with fish, they employ tools that allow them to find these players in quick fashion. Enter PlayerGPS, a totally free-to-use website that allows players to enter in screen names of opponents on various poker sites to track when they play at cash game tables. The poker buddy list will alert users through a variety of methods as to when a player sits down and report information like the site, stakes, and table name.
The benefits of using PlayerGPS are multifaceted and will help users in many different ways. The first and most obvious reason to subscribe to the service is to find your ATM-like fish at the tables. This “bum hunt” is employed by many of the top pros, who know there’s nothing wrong with playing the weakest competition possible. Another benefit is to find friends or top pros and see what they are playing so that you can easily rail their table if you so choose. Finally, PlayerGPS can also be used as a security method, as you can track yourself and be alerted whenever you log on to play poker. If you are not playing and suddenly get an alert, you’ve received an immediate notice that your account has been compromised.
The web-based system at PlayerGPS is extremely easy to use. After registration, you can set up your “Account Settings” via the main navigation. There, you can enter your e-mail address, password, instant messenger accounts, and SMS mobile number and carrier. You will receive a validation code for your mobile phone and, once entered in, you’ll be eligible to receive notifications. Here is a look at the Account Settings page:
Next, you’ll want to take a look at the “Alert List,” which is where you can create a player category, such as “Dead Money” or “Favorite Pros.” Then, you’ll enter a player using the “Add Player Alert” box and define the poker site and category that they will belong to. Once you’ve entered a person in, they will appear in your official alert list. In the list, you can add notes and turn on or off levels of notification. Here is a sneal peak at the Alert List:
PlayerGPS tracks all games at the $0.25-$0.50 level and above across all Hold’em, Omaha, Stud, and Mixed Games. The site currently tracks seven of the top networks in the industry, with more sites coming soon.
If you are looking for an easy, automated buddy list alert system, check out PlayerGPS today. Even if you're not in the market, how can you go wrong? It's absolutely free.
