Some people do and some people don't, personally I do not pay but occasionally I'll look someone up with my 5 searches.

There are far more important tools to invest in first if you currently have nothing.

The first one is PokerTracker! Sharkscope stats can be interesting to check out every now and then, but they don't tell you [censored] about how a guy plays. You need PT and PokerAce HUD.

If you're a new sng player then most of the board would suggest SNGPT

If early game all you did was play premium hands (QQ+, AK+) and limped pocket pairs (22+)..you wouldn't be losing out on as much value as if you didn't know when to push in middle/late stages of an sng..

SNGPT>HUD..

HUD probably more important in higher buy-ins..but, that is assuming you have pushbot strategies down to a science...

I'm pretty sure this is right; and I don't know much.

I have a sharkscope subscription, I find it very useful. I bought SNGPT and checked out other tools like SNG Wizard, they look all extremely powerful. Don't know which one of them is currently the best? Anyone using both SNGPT and SNG Wizard regularly?

I had sharkscope for a month and used it to search tournies between 25-$100 and only 2 tabled ones with high fish ratings. That worked out pretty well, but I used it in combination with PT and Pokerace. Both programs are essential for sngs. There are soo many good spots in late game sngs that you'd normally miss like say someone with a vpip of 30+ limps EP. I shove with soo maany hands and pick up the dead money and rarely risk getting called. SNGPT is also critical for bubble play and knowing how to exploit it.

You use SNGPT "live" or only "after the fact"?

Also, since the amount of hands you should be playing changes form level to level does the VPIP give a real assessment of the players' strengths?
