Default Re: Sharkscope

i often sit first and use sharkscope to help me know how to play the opponent. against winning players certain plays will work that won't work against donkeys. I feel like pretty much anybody at the 55s/115s is going to be a dog to me (i have an ego) so I just use SS to figure out how to play them best.

Obviously sitting with fish is going to help your ROI a little over the long run BUT I think that people really misuse the statistics a lot. I mean, in the words of Lennox Lewis, "styles make fights." I do better agaisnt some of the sharks than I do against some of the fish. Basically, my style does poorly against a fair number of the fish. But yes, SS will give you a slightly better ROI over say, 1000 games or so.
