How Dare You Webby234
Scanning the forums today and ran into my sharkscope (W T F).Only messing webby u make me laugh mate.
I play entirley sit and goes.Read all the books bought all the systems and stick to my game.Few facts you outta bring into consideration i play 8-12 tables at a time its called grinding lol,an as for the more tables u play the less info u get on each game.So in genrall i play a lot lower than my bankroll should be 50 buyins 550 pound to play 10 DYM's ,I do this because sky can run bad longer than any site i know so i stick to these stakes but dont think there is enough games at the higher stakes for me anyway.A top poker grinder told me that ur ROI goes down the more tables at a time u play but ur making more per hour+the more games u play the more rake u earn on top.My tip for u webby is to concentrate entirley on sit and goes leave vegas out and make sure u got the bankroll for the stake u play.KILL UR 10 POUND SYSTEM LOL.

Publishing other player's Sharkascope just reflects a lack of class, & breaches the T & C's of Sharkscope.
Someone actually C & P'd mine into the Cardroom Chat-Box last night after he'd felted me when his A-9 rivered against my A-K.
Players actually think 'Scope is Gospel, & take it at face-value. I guess some folks believe what they read in The Sun, too.
Infact, here's a recent picture of Jimi in action... check out those lights, one for each table!
PS, see you on the tables Jimi!
It wasn't me, the cat walked across the keyboard.
i dint mean to post jimi's name and both of you would know that if you had red the thread (am a poet dunt no it lol)
i was having problems with starting a discussion other day, it wasnt showing my writing and after loads of messing about, i accidentally left his stats up but did change it as soon as i realised my mistake.
me and jimi know the game and i chose his stats cos didnt think he would mind.
so calm down guys and gals and let the cards be with you, if not you could just bluff like me and jimi do ;-)
Im not going to have a go at any indivdual on here, but why dont the mods delete the post that do show another players sharkscope and then warn that player, to the effect that if they do it again they will be banned.
This might then stop people thinking that it is ok to compare stats.
For my part I dont give two hoots as to how other players do through this medium and nor should anyone else.

Sharkscope have their T&C to cover their own back, if they have that written then they can't be criticised as a site that causes abuse between players.
Am I the only one with this view? I know Scotty and Ladyfingers agree, does no1 else?
Hes a good kid and as for the sharkscope buisness i dont mind 1 little bit 1 of my idols is tony G the guy gives his winnings to charity got a good heart but if ur at the same table as him he tell u to ur face how hes going to crush u and how poor u play.Character and passion is what drives the greats so when it comes down to poker etiquette
i dont believe in the standard keep ur mouth shut at the tables and bite ur tongue.So i agree with flash flush CHILL.
P.S. cant belie u webby lol.
You make a fair point but i need to disagree with you to a certain extent.
Am i right in thinking that if you request your data to be hidden on sharkscope, then you cannot access other peoples scores? If so, then i can understand some people wanting to be able to use the service therefore not request their stats be hidden.
For these people, i think a distinction can be made between there stats being available on sharkscope, and them being posted on a forum. The agreement is esentially that they can look at others on sharkscope and others can look at them. For whaterver reason, i think players are still entitled to want their stats to not appear on a forum. Like you, it wouldnt bother me, but i do think that if anyone feels differently, that should be respected.
Having said all of that, i may be wrong with my assumption at the start and if so, then anyone concerned can email sharkscope as you suggest.

He gives a bit to charity now & then - I hope we all do - but "giving his winnings to charity" is a bit far-fetched!
Very interesting character is Mr Gouga.
This Poker Site has a large percentage of new &/or inexperienced Players, & I have a Duty - & in fact I like to think we all do - to look after them by making them aware of how poker works.
I play 2 and my PC turns into a dieing actor!
It IS a problem though, I see people being berated for their perceived lack of ability (based on'Scope) daily, & it's NOT good for poker, not good for the players, & not good for this Site.
All it does is satisfies the ego of those who like to mock & abuse. In practical terms, it's as useful as keying the side of a car, or vandalizing a 'phone box. I've seen hundreds of Online players driven away from several Sites I have been, or am, associated with, simply by this tactic.
If you read between the lines, I was suggesting that Tony is not at all the person he comes across as. We were business partrners, but not for long, for a variety of reasons.
He is, at the same time, one of the most kind, gentle, trusting & caring men I've ever met in poker. He's also the most obnoxious, rude, untrustworthy, ill-mannered & insensitive so & so I've ever met.
Maybe I should do a Blog about him, along the lines of the one I did today on Brian Wilson.
It might open a few eyes, that's for sure! But not the way you think.....
Wouldnt mind reading stories about them too, if they were appropriate to write about, and you were of a mind to do so...
I'll pen a Tony G Blog as soon as I can. I'm offline most of tomorrow, & likely to be a bit busy Monday, but I'll do it as soon as possible.
He's some complex guy. Very much a curate's egg.
