Anybody else managed to sneak into any of their leaderboards?

Tbh I don"t rate Sharkscope, it"s too easy to block and is imho very inaccurate. For instance it has me as playing 15 tournies on Stars in the last 2 years losing approx $300, lol.
I prefer officialpokerrankings.com which work on true results direct from the sites themselves, although they can"t take into account final table deals.
-
Sharkscope only shows stt"s (I"m pretty sure) whereas OPR is only mtts with 45 or more people in it.
Completely different.

Remember that the 180-seater SNGs on PokerStars do show on Sharkscope. It"s not just STTs that show, it"s SNGs (and these can be MTTs).

Completely different.
And OPR doesn"t show private tournaments - for example The Hendon Mob league games. I don"t think Sharkscope picks up every Sit and go either.
Basically I think these sites will only work if they included all the data - as they don"t then I don"t think you can get a realistic reading from them.

Like poker, it"s about incomplete information. Make from it what you can.
-
I generally use OPR to see how people I know are getting on. I also use it when some donkey out draws me after calling raises with bad hands, just to make myself feel better. Ah, he hasn"t cashed for 8 months and only has a 33% rating, no wonder :D
That sort of thing, it cheers me up :)
-
sharkscope accuracy varies dependant on the site.
Cryptologic is almost complete (+98%), pokerstars is reasonable (80-90%),whilst ipoker network is very poor ( about 60% ).
-
If your just looking at how people do at regualar sit n goes on a site like stars then im pretty sure they get 95 percent of the results at least id not more, as far as i can tell they pick up every sit n go i play and ive played a few lol
-
Don"t forget that it includes the MTT SNGs as well. These can dramatically skew the results.
I"m down as a "shark", but I only play the MTTs.
-
Yeah but they also have separate leaderboards for one table and multitable along with average profits for last 12 months and total profits

I"ve tried one of those but I didn"t cash so I"m sticking to the single table SNG"s.
I"m also marked as a "shark" with sharkscope..... just proves it can"t be right :P
