Title: Sharkscope HUD
Post by: WYSINWYG on December 16, 2008, 12:31:42 PM
Thinking of actually paying for Sharkscope now, I keep running out of searches, can't find a way round it ;)
I mostly use Sharkscope for entertainment ('omg I'm the first guy he beat in a MONTH' kinda thing) and personal 'form' tracking. Was wondering if it's used much for game selection (I play Heads Up quite a lot now) or game adjustment. How would game adjustment work? You find yourself heads up with a 'Fish' or equivalent, you tighten up your game? Unsure about that aspect.

As a quick hijack, if anyone has millions of searches available, I'd be interested in a full search on me to see what it says.  Username Bokeh, please pm info though, rather not have my fishyness posted on here :D

Thanks, I'm still trying to figure out why they chose to do this. Is it really unfair to use it? Does it damage the poker eco-system?

Yeah i wouldn't pay for it, Stars is not happy with its players using sharkscope though they have stopped banning people for using it. For full tilt sngs just use OPR.

Does anyone use this now?  Or are there other alterntives for the same idea (STT's only)?  I now play 6 tables comfortably so dont have time to Sharkscope players in-play like i have done in the past?

Any help appreciated...

In answer to the original question, I use sharkscope to check if people are sharks, ok, or fish!. I then add this term into my notes with extra !!! for real fish/sharks and add the fish to my buddy list.

I find knowing who the fish are is real beneficial, you can make more marginal decision against then, overbet made hands knowing they will call you with their top pair poor kicker, or reduce your bluffing if they are a calling station.

MC, i'm a sharkscope veteran/free search whore, I was just wondered if anyone has any experience of the HUD, the 'in-game' display?
