By Gregory Brooks


The use of Holdem Manager or Sharkscope in online poker gives an important statistical output to track hundreds of thousands of players' wins and defeats. They keep a record of all major online networks. If you know the ID of a player, all you have to do is type it in, and you will learn the winnings or losses of that player. You could also find out the level at which the player generally plays. You can use this facility free if you need to check up to five times a day. However, if you buy a subscription then you will be able to use it as much as you want, without any restrictions.

Sharkscope is a program that has the record of all poker players. It has recorded 178 million "sit and go" tournaments on all the important networks. It has collected records of all the wins and losses. Going through some of the games that a specific poker player has played will tell you how good a player he is, it will also tell you the level on which the player plays. From the games, you will be able to tell if luck has been on his side. The games will also tell you if his bluffs are good.

Using Sharkscope to find out about the player's winning or losing streaks, can add up as a great tactical advantage for you. You can make long term notes. And this could help when you play with this player at some later date.

You can get some edge from this information, but sometimes you could also be conned. Poker is played without knowing the full information, so if you have these added facts you can have an advantage. However, it may not help you in your current game.

Poker is a game of luck to a great extent, so you should use the information only when you have established the trend. If a player has just ran out of luck, you will be under the impression that he hasn't. He is still lucky and will play accordingly. This could get you in trouble. Therefore, you should be very careful when you use information from Sharkscope.

You will find the Sharkscope figures are total. Hence you will be able to learn the way in which a player plays, the way he bets and his pattern of play. However, let us suppose that he may change the pattern of play, what would happen then? There is no way that will tell you what he will do, but you will play on what you have learned from Sharkscope, and this may put you in a trouble.

Sharkscope has its pros and also drawbacks. Since Sharkscope is only a device that gathers data, all the data will be correct. If all goes well, then you will be having a great edge, and there is a great possibility that you will win. Your play will be based on all the data from Sharkscope and this edge is surely going to help.

So if everything goes well you, will have the advantage, and you can surely win. The information is something that is absolute so you cannot go wrong. The only drawback is that your opponent may choose to change his style on that day, and you will not be able to find out until it is too late. By that time, you will have got yourself into a snag.
