How should I pick a table to play at?

Actually, you don't have to do anything to be presented with the greatest tables. The default settings of SharkMate are set to locate tables that include mainly losers and most unskilled players (i.e. Fish). However, you may add your own definitions of what kind of players and tables you wish to play. You are welcomed to change the existing parameters and/or add table types of your own. We will locate these tables and present them to you in real time as well as all the vital statistics of the players around these tables. To learn how to set/change table locating definitions please read the relevant part in the SharkMate Tutorial.

How is SharkMate different from other poker tools?

Other poker tools are primarily aimed at tracking your own play. You have to turn them on when you start playing and they collect data for your session that you can analyze. Some can give you info on your opponents based on how they played while you were playing against them. However, the number of hands tracked will usually not be enough for accurate statistics. Some tools provide you with table odds (i.e. odds calculators) that may help you calculate your odds. However these cannot tell you anything about your opponents, how they play or what cards they are holding. Using these tools you still need to manually find tables to sit on by yourself, not knowing who are the players around the table, are they pros? are they tough? or maybe the table is full of suckers. SharkMate uses an entirely new concept. We will be providing you with real time advice about tables you should join and present you with all you need to know about your opponents. You can actually set SharkMate to locate for you tables according to your own preference. We can do this because we have an intricate infrastructure of computers that monitors most of the online poker tables at any given moment 24 hours a day. Our database includes most of the players and tables you will encounter. By using SharkMate you get to enjoy the ultimate power of information presented by the most powerful poker tool ever.
