SharkScope.com Basic Information
SharkScope.com Overview
Sharkscope.com is a website that allows online “Sit and Go” poker tournament players to quickly look up the players at their table and view their win rate, career earnings, and other important statistics. As of the time of this writing, SharkScope.com has over 345 million sit and go tournaments tracked in their database.
SharkScope.com Main Sections
SharkScope.com has four main sections. These are database search, a tournament selector function, leaderboards showing the top performers across all sit and go games for the entire year or for the past 500 games, and poker room reviews for several online poker sites that Shark Scope supports.
SharkScope.com Content
Unlike many other online poker software programs, SharkScope.com’s software is hosted on its website. The most important functions on SharkScope.com are the database search and tournament selector. The only free features on SharkScope.com are five free database searches per day and the tournament selector is free to use for tournaments under $10 buy-in.
Paid SharkScope features include:
- A fully functional tournament selector as well as the ability to open poker tables directly from the tournament selector on SharkScope.com.
- More searches in the individual player database search. Three subscription plans allow for different number of daily searches. Current pricing is $15.99 per month for 150 daily searches, $29.99 per month for 500 daily searches, or $44.99 per month for 1000 daily searches.
- SharkScope HUD – The ‘Sharkscope HUD’ or “Heads Up Display” allows players to overlay live Sharkscope stats onto your sit and go table as you are playing. This makes it much easier to access players’ statistics at a glance instead of having to look players up individually. The Sharkscope HUD is available for free with any plans that allow for 500 or more searches per day.
- SharkScope Tournament Opener – The “tournament opener” feature is available to all subscribers whose plan allows 500 searches per day or more. The “Shark Scope tournament opener” allows players to register in sit and go tournaments directly from the Sharkscope tournament selector listings.
SharkScope.com Navigation
The Navigation at Shark Scope is a bit strange. There are not individual URLs for each page on the web site. Instead, every individual page on www.sharkscope.com shows up as the home page in your browser address bar. This makes it impossible to bookmark internal pages that you use frequently, such as the “search database” page.
Other than the odd URL structure, Sharkscope.com is easy to navigate and relatively quick. The database searches are executed quickly and th website has never frozen over the several hundred times I have used it.
