I don't know whether to put this in this section, the lounge, GPD or stories, but as this is the location of most of the "Your sharkscope is crap" posts, I finally settled on here.

We all love sharkscope, for some it has little pictures of fish swimming round in bowls, for others it has these pretty stars to show how good they are (even at micro stakes tourneys) But I've done a little research recently into some of the best (well mostly worst) sharkscope graphs around.

I'll start with the good. This graph belongs to Tatta, who's been a consistent winner to the tune of almost $300k. What's really cool about this is that he's played most of his games for less than $100 entry fee, so not really above cubbies' level really.


This guy clearly has a doomswitch. His username is JohnSmiley1, and after a fairly level start playing 1500 low stakes games, he upped the stakes and has made $250k doing so. I guess this makes him the advert for people who dont want to use BRM and just go for the stars.



And the not so good. Firstly, this one belongs to Moumouth, who at the time of writing is currently on top of the pokerstars TLB, so he can't be that bad. But HU SNGs really aren't his thing. -$700k and counting.



Second is Rookie62. This one reminds me of Supfool's signature (~Winners never quit, quitters never win, but those who never win and never quit are idiots). Sure he's only lost 7k, but surely this guy should give up!


Now my personal favourite. Oyba. He was doing OK, and had found his level, then he decided to have a crack at some 5k HU SNGs. He won the first one, but then it went a little wrong. According to PokerPlayer magazine, he took a month off after his losses and returned to play a $50 HU match, which he lost.

I would advise you to not suddenly play several $5000 HU matches.

Good stuff fire. Last one got a chuckle for sure.
