Post Tracking/Analysis Software for SNGs

I've been a long time user of Poker Tracker, and recently starting use PT3 (beta 23). From Fox's review, he seems to rate Holdem Manager and PT roughly the same, but seems to concentrate more on cash games than sngs. PokerOffice seems behind these two, and I honestly don't know much about Tourney Manager.

As a sitngo player, which of these (or other?) would you choose and why would you choose it over the others?

Thanks.

I would check out Tournament Shark - http://www.pokersoftware.com/tournament-shark/

It provides similar stats to SharkScope in a convenient Heads Up Display. It allows you to get an idea of how you can expect your oppent to play.

Tourney Shark and/or Sharkscope definately have their place, but I'm really trying to find out anyone has any valid signifcant reasons why I should try something other than Poker Tracker, such as Holdem or Tourney Manager.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't really find VPIP/PFR #s to be that useful in SNGs. Unless there is a way to break it down by level and you have a large sample of hands on the other player I don't think they are that significant. The play is so much different late in a SNG than early that using HUD stats could lead you to make wrong decisions.

I use Holdem Manager. Their Full tourney support is now in beta. So now you basically have sharkscope on yourself. I play low-mid stakes SNGs on FTP and PS, so I usually dont have time to mess with sharkscope to see who im playing with before it starts. On FTP i think is best because if you note people with color codes you have a good idea on who is in your SNG. I understand that some stats arnt as useful, but I find a liking to them when I multitable SNGs. The stats I use are VPIP/PFR/AGG FCTR/AGG%/Fold on flop percentage/hands. I like the Fold on flop %, IMO its the 2nd most useful stat I have behind VP. I'm thinking about using Donkey Tracker instead now. Donkey Tracker is Sharkscope HUD friendly. Thats why I like it as you can rotate your HUD stats so then Sharkscope HUD can be happy cause you cant have perfered seating. Just my opinions :)
