FishScope for Full Tilt Poker Sit and Go Players

Date: 2009-01-03
Author: Earl Burton

The new buzz in the online poker world is for players not to take each other on in the multi-table tournament arena or even the traditional sit and go (SNG) game. Seemingly, the true measure in poker today is how well players can handle the hotly-contested wars at the Heads-Up Sit and Go (HUSNG) tables, where the action is mano-a-mano and a player has no one to blame for his defeat other than himself. Making the decision on whom to battle on the felt has been difficult, however... until now!

Many players will use some of the poker software tools out there such as SharkScope to review records of potential opponents. The problem is that by the time you find a player, pop open your SharkScope window, enter their name, review any background that they may have, and then return to take up the challenge, someone has already picked up the seat. To eliminate this issue - for at least one online poker room - a German developer has come up with a solution.

On the TwoPlusTwo forums in July of 2008, member “int21h” created HUSNG software that works at the present time for only Full Tilt Poker. Called FishScope, the software is a player selection tool that allows its users to head to the tables and simply hover over an opponent’s name in the lobby. The FishScope software, in conjunction with the SNG database SharkScope, will immediately display the complete history of your potential opponent in a separate window for your immediate review.

The window review presents information that would be highly relevant in the decision of whether to take on the player or not. FishScope will tell you how many HUSNGs the player has played, the won/loss ratio, average stake, average profits, total profits, and also the player’s return on investment (ROI). This information is excellent in that you can judge the player’s abilities and determine if he or she is a successful HUSNG player or someone that you might be able to earn some profits from.

TwoPlusTwo member “int21h” has also provided some proof of success for a player using FishScope. He posted a graph of a friend who was a “guinea pig” for using FishScope and, over approximately 75 games, showed approximately $350 in profits, a marked improvement over previous spans.

Even though the FishScope software seems to be a great assistant (and posters in the thread seem to like it as well), there are a couple of drawbacks to it. First off, FishScope only works with Full Tilt Poker at this time. There is some consensus among posters in the TwoPlusTwo thread that they would like to see it expanded to other rooms. Secondly, for the FishScope tool to work at its best, you have to have a SharkScope account. SharkScope gives guests five free daily searches, but most dedicated HUSNG players will play perhaps double that number in a day of play and could search five times the number of players before finding suitable opponents.

SharkScope subscriptions aren’t excessive. In fact, $11.99 a month gets you 150 daily searches and a flat $9.99 fee allows you a total of 200 searches over any time period. To get the maximum benefit out of FishScope, the subscription to SharkScope’s services is critical. For those who prowl the grounds of the HUSNGs, FishScope is definitely something that could be of great assistance.

The key-word to consider about policy contract is statistic. Statistic is takes, inhales, and bled by the QuotesChimp. Minutiae that might treat the worst-case of sleeplessness for people, like the percent of people who've had property fireplace in confirmed city throughout the past 50 years on account of smoking during intercourse, is the things which goals are built to the devoted insurance professional in control of determining which to bill for policy contract.

Good student discount. Young QuotesChimp pay the highest premi�ums for insurance. This burden can be reduced for good students. If you have a high school or college student in the family who gets good grades, let your insurance company know about it. It can save you money.
