Who uses Sharkscope and how...

    do you apply the information you get?

    I only play $5 Sit n Gos online at present and I've found that taking notes on most of the players at this level is a waste of time as I rarely play at the same table with them again. I tried Sharkscope for a month but really couldn't figure how to use the info so it didn't really help much. SS would show me that a player was a losing player but there was nothing in his play to make me think he was a fish. I've just played a 2 table SNG and the winner was classed as a fish under Sharkscopes default settings. (I didn't check till afterward) He had 277 games at an average stake of $11 and losing $1114. His ROI was -33%. He didn't seem like an idiot player, nor was he overly tight.
    He only fit the profile twice early in the game where he called an all-in from shortstack with J9 off from the BB for a third of his stack, and on the last hand where he hit a 3 on the turn to suck out with 2 pair (A3o all-in preflop). So is the sharkscope info really any good and if you have it earlier in a game how should you use it?

    I use it as a lazy way to keep records. the head to head function is good to see how you do against the regulars. While it can clearly show you whose losing I wouldn't use it to make decisions against players. the only exception to this is heads up if i see a player who has an woeful 2nd to win % heads up then I'll bet every hand.

    Its funny when someone really sucks out badly with a terrible call when you scope them there's usually red figures and a little fish jumping so you know you'll get them and there the value in the game.

    also pay more attention to th recent trends in the graphs the results could be going back two years and players can improve.
