That\u2019s where a tool like&nbsp;<strong>Sharkscope<\/strong>&nbsp;comes into its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharkscope is essentially the&nbsp;<strong>world\u2019s largest database of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.us\/poker\/best-online-sites\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1005\">online poker<\/a> tournament results<\/strong>&nbsp;(for instance, it contains over 900,000,000 tournament results from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.us\/poker\/site-reviews\/pokerstars\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"900\">PokerStars<\/a> alone).

Sharkscope removes that first-time disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you\u2019re able to&nbsp;<strong>get information on a player\u2019s win\/loss record<\/strong>&nbsp;across a mix of formats, meaning you can quickly identify which players you want to attack and which ones you should try to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re also able to&nbsp;<strong>keep track of how profitable you are at various stakes<\/strong>, meaning you\u2019re able to find the buy-in \u2018sweet spot\u2019 to maximize your profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group section has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group section__content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sharkscopes-key-tools\">Sharkscope\u2019s Key Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides being able to identify weaker players using the online database, Sharkscope has two features that are highly beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Sharkscope HUD<\/strong>&nbsp;pulls all of the key information available in the database and overlays it on the table as you play. You can quickly&nbsp;<strong>glance at aplayer\u2019s ROI, experience levels and typical buy-ins<\/strong>&nbsp;right there on the table. Don\u2019t like the layout? Then you can customize it to present the statistics you want to see by simply dragging and dropping them. The use of color filters to quickly classify players helps you&nbsp;<strong>make decisions faster<\/strong>, and you can even tailor the color shades according to how much data Sharkscope has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second feature which really makes Sharkscope stand out from the crowd is the&nbsp;<strong>Tournament Selector<\/strong>. Here Sharkscope effectively guides you through the myriad of online tournaments available and highlights those which should be&nbsp;<strong>most profitable for you personally<\/strong>, based on your own playing data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply search for the type of game and buy-in you\u2019re interested in and Sharkscope will serve up a range of options, with icons representing how beatable it estimates the game to be. Click a tournament and you\u2019ll get an average ability rating for the event, as well as a list of the game\u2019s best players (hint: they\u2019re the ones you\u2019ll want to avoid).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group section has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion-a-poker-essential\">Conclusion: A Poker Essential<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Sharkscope is one of those tools you simply have to take to the online poker battle.
