Poker Edge explanation of database coverage
 

FWIW, their reply to an email below

I'm not sure how consistent this is with what people have seen to date in the DB and/or what this implies about the fraction of hands they are in fact capturing.

I understand your concern. My explanation is that we are a very new
product, and to be honest we have only been collecting hand histories for
the last 3 weeks. We are collecting them at an enormous rate, however,
and that explains the large size of our DB with respect to how long we
have been collecting.

Thanks,
PokerEdge Sales

Is the Poker-Edge website down right now because "bandwidth exceeded" or is it just me?

Re: Poker Edge explanation of database coverage
 

No idea, since I didn't pony up the fee since they didn't have my play in there, even though (as I should have noted in my post) I definitely have played in the last 3 weeks (mix of $15-$30 LHE and NL SNGs).

No, I mean actually go to the poker-edge website (http://www.poker-edge.com). Is their site still up?

Re: Poker Edge explanation of database coverage
 

Sorry, my bad. Got the same error message as you, it seems:

"Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later."

That gives us a shot of confidence.

Party probably flooded it with requests. I guess it didn't need to change its software after all to derail this threat...
