PokerTableRatings Improves Real-Time Search Service

Staff and administrators at PokerTableRatings have stayed busy throughout 2012 so far in an effort to offer subscribers the best deals on everything from real-time statistical online poker tracking to bulk hand histories. To begin with, Poker Table Ratings has taken significant steps to improve its real-time search service, contracting new servers while its developers work to completely finish the site's upgrade project.

Due to a major influx of site traffic dating back to mid-2011, PTR has hired expert database employees in order to facilitate customer queries and avoid any "Search Engine Busy" messages. Loyal PTR customers and new visitors to the site can check out PTR's "20 Most Searched Players" and the "2011 Poker Players of the Year."

PTR is excited about its all-new partnership with iPokerProfessionals, which will result in custom VIP payments, exclusive rake races, and exclusive rake chases for PTR customers. Thanks to iPokerProfessionals signing exclusive deals with many online poker rooms on Ongame, Merge, and iPoker, customers can take advantage of deals that aren't available anywhere else.

As many online poker players know, Poker Table Ratings is one of the best sources for staying up-to-date on the latest online poker news related to the largest pots played in a particular month or year. For example, Poker Table Ratings tells us that in January, "patpatman" took down a $216,770 pot versus "kanu7" and "doncarignano" at a $200/$400 No Limit Hold'em table on PokerStars.

The largest Omaha pot of January, according to PokerTableRatings, took place on PokerStars at the $100/$200 Pot Limit tables between "1Il|1Il|1Il|" and "Isildur1." Quite a bit of money got in pre-flop and, on a flop of Ts-4s-3d, "1Il|1Il|1Il|" committed an additional $114,235 with his hand of Ac-Ad-6s-5c and was looked-up by Isildur1's As-Qs-Qh-Tc.

The turn came the Js, giving Isildur1 a flush, as the river was a harmless 8s, handing Isildur1 a pot of $355,195. Isildur1, whose real name is Viktor Blom, has been a big name in high-stakes online poker and is a sponsored pro of PokerStars.

Turning to bulk hand history purchases, online poker veterans have relied on the consistent service of PTR for years. In fact, more than 12,000 players have purchased hand histories from PTR, with the data easily stored in your poker database. Deals are available on a multitude of online poker sites to ensure you have a clear informational edge over opponents who do not take advantage of the latest innovations available via data mining. The more hand histories you purchase, the better deal you will receive from PokerTableRatings.

PTR subscribers can look forward to a slew of new features and updates in 2012, including unique prizes that will be given via the site's all-new badge promotion. Stake limits and network sorting will soon be available for the buddy list, plus there will be support for 888 Poker player profiles. PTR is also in the process of implementing a new blogging platform.

Providing the best online poker content along with an unbeatable user experience are top priorities for PTR.
