SharkScope is great tool for poker players. It provides lots of details about the poker game/tournament and players. It is a fast and stable web site. It provides a SharkScope HUD tool which is very useful tool for poker.
How does SharkScope work?
First, go to their home page: https://www.sharkscope.com
In the middle of the page you'll see a search box to find the player in question that you want information on:
You will be able to do a quick or advanced search. The quick search will give you summary results for the player in question and the advanced search will give you advanced search options on the player's results. For our example, we will do an advanced search
Once you enter the player's name, you will get the player's results:
In the top rectangle, you get the player's name with the platform he's playing on underneath.
In the profit history section, we see a green graph which tells us that the player is a winner. By right-clicking with the mouse, you can see the details of the player's winnings. This will allow us to see, for example, in what types of variants the player in question made his profits. Is it a single big win or a player who wins on a regular basis? A player who plays 1000 tournaments, loses $5000 in total and then wins his 1001st tournament for a win of $200,000 will not have the same profile as a player who has won $200,000 in thousands of tournaments. What you really want to know when using SharkScope is the skill of the player. Do I have an advantage over him? What are his weaknesses?
Next we see the tournament count. Here, 12,746. This information tells us that this is a regular and experienced player. This is not his first tournament and the fact that he has won so many tournaments tells us that he knows how to play poker well and that it is no coincidence that he is a winner
Note that SharkScope uses the word 'tournaments' when referring to sit'n'go and tournaments. Both types of games are included in the word 'tournaments'. And no distinction is made between variants (Omaha, Hold'em) or the number of entries (2, 20, 2000). You will, however, have the freedom to filter these results to get a more accurate picture of your opponent (we'll come to that later)
Here we see that the player has an average profit of $2.37 per tournament. This figure is obtained by dividing his total profit by the number of tournaments played
Here we see that the player registers for tournaments averaging $16.07, which gives us an indication of his level. For example, if you are playing a $1000 tournament and you see that your opponent registers for $2 tournaments on average, you can tell yourself that he will definitely be out of his comfort zone. It is possible that he may have won a satellite entry to participate in that tournament. It's also possible that he's tilted and not playing his best poker. Conversely, if you see a player who is registered for a $2 tournament and is used to playing $1,000 tournaments, you may feel that he may have lost confidence. Or that he's just out to have fun. You might suspect that he won't play conventional poker like a regular $2 tournament player
Our player's ROI (Return On Investment) is 24.9%. What does that mean? If we take the example of a $10 buy-in tournament, it means that, on average, in each tournament the player will have a paid seat of $12.49 for a profit of $2.49 ($12.49 in winnings minus the cost of the $10 buy-in). This is his average ROI. Sometimes he makes a profit in a tournament, sometimes he loses, but in the long run he wins on average, he makes a profit of 24.9% of his average buy-in cost. It should be noted that such a ROI is very strong considering that 80% of online poker players lose in the long run. A more classic ROI for a winning player will be around 2% and 10%
The total profit is understandable I think, no need to add to it.
Next, skill. The player in question has 79. The score ranges from 1 to 100, 100 being perfection. Here, it is difficult to comment since the skill is given by Sharkscope according to its own algorithm. Sharkscope analyses all the player's statistics, compares them to the other players and assigns a score between 1 and 100
Further on, we find the 'Status' box which tells us if the player is in a winning or losing tournament pass.
Next you have the player's total chart with all of his tournament wins.
You can leave your mouse cursor over the dollars and see the precise winnings at a given time:
This is for the 'Graphs' tab. 7 other tabs are available. Note that the free version of SharkScope will not give you access to all tabs
Let's see the Tournaments tab:
Here you can find the last 8 tournaments played by the player. Since we searched the PokerStars room, only tournaments played on PokerStars will appear. When you search for a player name on the platform, if the player has the same player name on multiple platforms, it will be a different profile for each room. If 'nfa1080' also has a profile on Winamax, you will have to do 2 separate searches
You then have the date when the tournaments were played, the type of games played (Hold'em, Omaha, etc), the buy-in, the position at which the player finished, the number of entries and finally whether or not he made a profit in the tournament. You will be able to search for tournaments by date, but only with SharkScope's paid account (for example, to detail a player's winnings and losses by year or poker variant)
The 'Decomposition' tab will give you additional information, some of which requires a subscriber account
Here you can see, for example, which player 'nfa1080' loses the most money against or which variant he prefers.
The tab 'Statistics' will give us a general portrait of the player. A kind of summary
The number of stars indicate his ranking in relation to all the players listed on SharkScope.
The 'Leader Tables' tab tells us our opponent's strengths (in which variant does he rank higher than anyone else?):
Leader Tables' tab tells us our opponent's strengths (in which variant does he rank higher than anyone else?):' />The 'Hits' tab tells us what challenges the player has accomplished. Each card represents a challenge to be completed. When the player has completed the challenge, the card flips over. Here is an example:
The 'Search' tab tells us if the player is currently registered in a tournament. As can be seen, the player is not currently playing any tournaments
Finally, the 'Publish' tab allows you to share certain hands on your social networks by enabling notifications
We said earlier that we were doing an advanced search. The advanced search allows us to filter our opponent's results to find his stats
For example, we may want to compare his 2018 and 2019 results. Or find out how he does in tournaments with more than 100 players, etc.

In some cases, the general statistics about a player don’t tell the whole story. For example, if a person is a big winner, but all of their profit came from one score, then we can’t necessarily label that person a good player at the lower stakes we are playing. Chances are, they are a bad player who got lucky once or twice. The various filters help us drill down further into players’ games to find out everything we can about them:
To help us see the big picture clearly, Sharkscope assigns every player an ability rating from 1 to 100 and takes many factors into consideration for each player’s rating. The default search results will include games played, average profit, average stake, average ROI, total profit, ability rating, and form (which indicates if a player is currently on tilt or not). Here is a look at what you will see when you fire up Sharkscope's graphing capabilties.
The amount of money that can be made in sit and go tournaments is amazing at the highest levels. Sharkscope is one of the most important tools to help you claim that money yourself. Sharkscope is hands down the best place on the Web to find results from sit and go tournaments.
