This should be done based on there opr and sharkscope stats. Be careful because reading them is a skill in itself (for example someone with no wins could be a multi accounting pro).
New stuff I read recommend we can differentiate between 7 different groups well so I would do no more than 7.
So, losing, breakeven, slightly winning, winning, etc. and so on. but make them what ever you want.
Every time someone open limps on any table the pretty much gets auto losing tag.
Cool, I had a different OPR system before, however when I reloaded Stars I put in this simplified color system. My system was based on their ranking tho, Which was kinda wrong, but still defined them quickly. so I made this simplified version .
It went like this. First thing when I got seated or moved I would search each player and identify them (even if they had a color already). I used their stats from the previous year, if they didn't play the previous year, I used their 120 day trend.
RED - 100%-95%,
ORANGE - 94%-85%,
YELLOW - 84%-75%,
DARK BLUE - 74%-65%,
BLUE - 64%-55%,
LIGHT BLUE - 54%-25%,
GREEN - 24%-0% &
PURPLE for UNKNOWNS(hidden).
It helped define the better players from the bad and new players. I was able to structure my play quicker, which was nice.
A couple reasons why didn't incorperate it during my second load is because...
1. OPR had changed and the ranking system was a broken down into stake categories, I failed to refine my structure at that time.(I guess you could say that I was little lazy)
2. Pokerstars blocked the game data unless you Opt'd in, so I thought I would find more ppl that wern't opt'd in then were opt'd in. Therefore making most of my searches irrelevant.
