how acurate is sharkscope

I was just wandering how acurate this tool is i hear everyone talking about it some good reveiws other bad i went and looked at the site which had the demo version i typed my name in which was WAAAAAY off im pretty sure its like that becuz i havent purchased it but i was just wandering how acurate it is

It's not accurate at all. Plus it only counts tournament play, totally useless for ring games. Its stats on me are totally off, have me only playing like 40 games ever lol.

I don't know what the cutoff is, but its sng play (maybe 180 and under?). I think it might be pretty accurate, but you have to know exactly what they are tracking. OPR is 45player and over on pokerstars, I think. Shows smaller sng for FT.

About as accurate as the latest UK governments prediction for growth for the forthcoming months..

ie - Its miles out...

lol ok i figured it was off cuz it said i have only played 7 games ummmmm yea lol.....well thanks for the feedback

I've got a different opinion, I have only tried it twice on opponents players and it was pretty right.
Told me the guy was aggressive/aggressive, I played a heads up against up and beat him in 3 min.
The other guy was noted as pretty loose, they were right, he called everything, I won in 2 min

Umm for S&Gs its totally accurate I believe, I know mine is and I have ~700 games played.

well is the info completly off on everyones name becuz i havent purchased it?? see thats what i keep getting few ppl say its good others say its not

I haven't bought it and its good for me. I'm not sure if its entirely accurate, but i know its at least real close. You have to know that it only takes into account S&Gs, not MTTs or cash games.

Well its stats on me are way off, apparantly I have never played at stars or FullTilt and only ever played twice @ Cake, which considering Ive been playing at all those sites for 3-4 years I know is extremely incorrect.

Yea same here, I just use pokerdb as that is far more accurate than scope imo

Actually the problem is that poker sites are rigged, and just giving sharkscope false results. No matter that sharkscope says you're a bunch of losers, its obviously just inaccurate.

pretty accurate for my stats on stars, even after playing a few sngs I check it and its exactly on

edit: I dont think it tracks anything below the 3$ mark, maybe not even the 3$ ones...

lol @ the misinformation in this thread

it's very nearly 100% accurate for what it's intended to track (how about you read the site to see what that is). if something within its tracking parameters isn't tracked, it's a complete fluke which will rarely happen. it's about as accurate as a DNA test. but losing players love to say it's wrong

lol somebody had to do it, yeah I think I am actually gonna go read the sight and all that....hopefully the others read what your saying..it goes along the lines of poker is rigged if your losing...

In my case, it's 100% accurate for tracking my SNG results over PS and FTP, which covers hundreds of SNGs on both sites. I does miss a lot of the micros that I played on Everest early on.

I'm pretty sure it's extremely accurate in most cases where it matters. I'm positive that it becomes a really valuable tool for table selection when you play $22 SNGs and higher. Below that, there's no need to table select and you can consider all villain as fishes and be pretty accurate.

One thing that can be misleading is the fact that they give two different numbers for ROI. "Avg ROI" averages your ROI over all games played regardless of the stakes. "Total ROI" takes stakes into account.

So let's assume you play 2 HU SNG. First one is $1 stake and you loose for -100% ROI. Second one is $1000 stake which you win for +100% ROI (not taking rate into account). Then you "Avg ROI" would be 0%, while you "Total ROI" would be 99.8% ($2000-$1001=$999 return for $1001 investment)
