Pokerstars player stats are viewable?

Question

If anyone plays on pokerstars quite a bit, I could use some help. When playing other people, they say they can view my "stats". Is this even possible? I can't see any way of doing this through any options at the main screen. If they can see it, what exactly do they see?

Answer 1

There are webaddresses on the intraweb that watch you play.  officialpokerrankings.com and pokertracker.com just to label a few.  Use the mouse and click on dealer chips tray and grab instant hand histry.  This shows more two.

Answer 2

If you play sngs a lot, they can look you up on SharkScope or Pokerrankings or a lot of other places..this actually doesn't give them as much information as they think it does, cause it doesn't account for variation...meaning that a downswing may drop your Return of investment percentage way down, depending on how many sngs you play and how many big tournaments you may play at small buyins and get unlucky against some random donk. It does, occasionally, help, especially against people who play a LOT of sngs, meaning a few losses won't drop their percentages and all down, but it's not always the best tool to see how they're doing at the moment...just a way for "better players" to see how you usually do and ridicule you when you're actually doing decent and they wanna tilt you a bit.

Answer 3

All it means is that they have looked you up one one of the many poker sites out there.  Sites like officialpokerrankings and sharkscope, take publicly available player stats and publish them on the web.  So if anyone says they have looked you up, this is probably what they mean.
