Default Sharkscope makes HU SNGs damn profitable even if you don\'t use it!

I never bothered to buy sharkscope (although I am now) but I have noticed something. Whenever I sit first, the player I face is (on average) a hell of a lot worse than if I sit with someone. My sharkscope has me at 22% ROI after 637 games played with an average buyin of $33... the pros are probably looking at this and waiting for someone else (who is likely a fish) to sit.

Cliff notes: I am very stoned and need to get sharkscope.

It's better you don't show players your results .

I keep mine off and I like to remain a mystery to them .

Anyone else think to the contrary ?

Congratulations! you're just learnt the first lesson in 'how to be a pro HU player".

Lesson two is 'when to sit out' (but that's only relevant for cash games.)

Lesson three is "Poker Dilemas: I'm too stoned to play, but he's too fishy to leave?". The anwer is play, buy try really really hard not to post on 2+2 at the same time.

+3k [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and I love every one of you lovely, lovely, people.

I think it's clearly better to have them available for the reasons stated above. Fish don't know about sharkscope but good players do. SS is a great way for good players to avoid playing each other.

yes, my sharkscope graph would look really really scary to the regulars. It has me running super-hot. I wonder if this has detered people from sitting with me.
