Just when you thought it was safe to play online poker… We trawl the internet in search of the worst (and best) players in the world using Sharkscope
Whether you’re a winning or losing player, there’s one sure-fire way to make you feel better about your game – laughing at others. Because no matter how bad you think you’re running, there’s always someone who’s much worse off than you.
Believe it or not, all of the graphs on the right are real – we’ve taken them from the superb website www.sharkscope.com – and the figures represent real money. Just be thankful they’re not yours…
WHAT IS SHARKSCOPE?
In poker, knowledge is power. And if you want to be a winning player you need to know as much about your foes as you do about your own game.
Online notes can help you build player profiles, but wouldn’t it be great if you could look back at the performance of all your opponents, and find out whether they’re winning or losing players, and if they’re running good or bad?
Enter SharkScope – a website that enables you to do exactly that. It’s a database of sit-and-gos from virtually every poker room and network on the web. Log onto www.sharkscope.com, click on ‘Search Database’ and you can search by poker alias for any players you come across on your poker travels.
You get five free searches a day, or you can subscribe for $11.99 a month and get 150 searches a day and advanced search criteria.
