Probably on our site, no one will say this, everyone adequately assess themselves.

9 handed cash...when my A-Game is there...yup...most shark-like.
6 handed cash...i am the table fish....totally...served with chips at your pleasure.
amazing the difference...6 handed just doesn't suit my playing style.

I do reasonably ok in tourneys...but i wouldnt say a shark...maybe a dolphin :)

its all relative to where you play. I find in poker their are leagues of talent pool. if you end up on table where everyone is in a higher league then you then you are a fish in that game. If you play on a table where all players are in a lower skill league then you then you are a fish in that game.

you can move up in terms of league and move down.

I hesitate to call myself a shark even though I most of my income comes from poker now. Because I am aware there are plenty of players out there much better then me who would call me a fish.

However I grind games where I have an edge and constantly work to try to improve. In most of the games I play I am a shark. Its all relative is my point.

Definitely no. Not being donkey or fish is enough of a target for me for now. :D

Possibly with more potential than an unexpecting observer may believe? Yes. Card shark? Not even close. What makes me a "good player" (if I even am that)? It is simple. My table selection ability of finding really soft games. If that makes me a shark then fine, but basically it is just humble realization that those other players at that table are better than me and I'll stay clear for now :D

When I'm in a good mood, I can play well but in other moments, I become a big fish, easy to call with a weak hand, and bluffing crazily.

I definitely would not say that I’m a poker shark, because I think if I was I would already have won a major tournament and I’m far from that. I don’t think I’m a bad player either, but I could study more to be better.

I don't feel like a shark at the table, but sometimes I have a shark mood.:)

I'm a poker minnow. When I grow up I want to make Moby Dick look like a salmon.

I am a modest player and I do not consider myself a shark. I think that a shark can be considered a player who receives his main income from poker. At the moment, I am just working on creating my bankroll.

I am human. When I'm on a roll winning I feel like a great player. When I fold the small blind and would have had a straight I feel like a fool.

Hello.
I do not consider myself a shark, although my bankroll is growing steadily. I consider myself a beginner who has understood the basics of the game and learned to enjoy the process.

Hell no!! My game is way too bipolar to ever be. I just hope my freestyle strategy is good enough to increase my bankroll consistently to make more money than my job.
