Some sites such as Pokerstars have banned the use of such tools whilst their players are at the tables, and can detect breaches of these regulations. These new sites raise some interesting questions, and some might argue that there is an issue with the morality of taking a quick look at someones entire Sit and Go results without their knowledge. Sites such as Sharkscope allow you to do this, although they do also allow players to block access by other players to their results, if they choose.

One point to consider in relation to this, is that Sharkscope is not used entirely to see how weak the competition is at any given table, but to actually map your own progress. There is a certain satisfaction to be had from seeing a graph depicting all your hard work, and the gradually emerging fruits of it. Now for the issue mentioned earlier in relation to morality, or basically, an individuals right to privacy. Perhaps the blocking of viewing for your own results should be offered onsite at the poker room you play as opposed to simply on the tracking site itself. After all, not every poker player knows of the existence of such sites, and it would seem proper that they are informed of tracking sites, and also their right to be excluded from searches on them.
