Poker Shark


No I am really not that impressive in churning out two blogs on the same day, but to follow up on what I had previously posted I am going to go all techy on your arses.


There is a rather wonderful website called Sharkscope that can tell you how various people perform in SNGs. Now I know its really to find out how other people are playing, but I find it a very good tool for tracking my own results. So from now on, I will going to include my player graph at the end of each blog so you can see that I truly am playing games and not just randomly making crap up (okay to be fair most of the stuff I write is crap, but you get the point).


So here is my current one.

What does it show. Well, it shows that since playing poker on Pacific poker (and hence not taking into account my results when I was playing on Poker Stars) in the last 18 months or so I have played 833 games (which probably proves I need to get out more). Having started out with a pot of around 200 dollars (which the graph shows as 0 profit) I had a severe hit when I first started playing (the graph dropping well below 0) before then making a gentle climb upwards. I now stand on the graph as having a profit of around $300 which would tie up with my current poker pot. As you can see at its height, the best the pot has stood at was with a profit of $375, before hitting a few slumps and then weaving back and forth around the $300 profit mark. At least I can argue I have had a lot of fun in the past few months without it costing me anything :-)
So there ya go - technology and everything, no way to lie about results now. Bugger!
