Sharkscope HUD I think is listed on most all sites as a not to use software, you might want to check on that 1st, before using it!

First, get familiar with how and what you are seeing. Sharkscope is not a known HUD or a dynamic tracker, but that may have changed. In the past they provided fairly decent static stats for most any playername anywhere. Static in this case covers games/hands played before today. Dynamic would include all hands/games played up until the last hand a player played.

DO CHECK the list of prohibited software at LOCK, or any other site you might use it on.

I like the rating data it provides. The player stats go only so far. Knowing that someone is a winning player helps quite a lot! But yeah, you'll want the dynamic stuff.
Even just googling the player name provides (usually) bunch of info about the player.

I think the sharkscope hud only shows the stats that u can see on the sharkscope website. and i think every time u use it it will count each player at the table as a search. Depending on which package you have on shark scope you could end up with alot of your searches used

It's not the only site that provides that data. I built my own "HUD" (it's a web App so maybe not technically a HUD?) that scrapes rating data for various other sources and provides VPIP and PFR.
For a beer swigging single tabling guy like me, it's all I need. Well, I probably need more but I find too much info to be overwhelming. Analysis paralysis!

It's now a tool and service which is permitted on PS.:confused:

Is Sharkscope free now? I know a few years ago it was a subscription service which only offered a few basic items to get you to subscribe for the full range of usage.

Well I think the Hud is accepted by most poker sites...
Here are some shots for you


Its free but only on lock. I think for marketing. (sorry for my drawing skills)

The available stats are

and you have about 1000 free searches/day. Thats about 10 tournaments if you dont change tables often

Now i go back to my main question... Doesnt realy matter what hud you use because the stats are about the same. Now based on the available stats what should I choose and how to build my table image using them.

I have NOT investigated SharkScope's HUD, but if those are the only stats available then using a simple definition I gave earlier, where static is all hands played before this session, and dynamic including all those static stats with all the hands played up till now (in this session), I don't see any stats that will help you make a decision on what you can do in any particular hand.

Based on the stats available, they might give you an idea about how good a player has been, and you might adjust to that, but really, those players are probably using a real HUD with dynamic stats, that are telling them that you are not.

The Shark Scope HUD might be OK for a once in a while pop-up look, like when you move to a new table, but for hand to hand play, it doesn't offer much.

Get a real HUD/tracker.;)

I am not dissing Sharkscope.com, it provides valuable info, but as provided it only makes it easier to search your villains.
