Im just started a trial of Tournament Shark (its on pokerstars approved list) .... its just to show you peoples performances in mtt sng and gives them a rating ..... so for example it would show all the sng i palyed lately on pokerstars where i finished ... also what % of games i finished early middl game or late game ..... im finding it useful on sng ... so when i sit down at a table i know whos on a winning streak or if they are loosing all there games , where they usually go out eg if 30% is end game i can persume they are tight or good player looking at the graph helps me figure this out .... Not to sure if i would find it as usefull on mtts due to the high variance of the game
Its nothing major but its nice to get a idea of someone straight off and then you can judge there game a bit better with this extra info ... and so far finding it quite useful i have yet to decide whether i will purchase it as you can go to the site and manually type in the players name and it gives you the info .... just makes a bit more work for you
But other than this program i dont think i would be interested in using anything else
But be careful with what products you use especially if you play with pokerstars as they have a large list of programs you CANNOT USE when playing with them ....
The only program I've used so far is PokerTableRating. Since it's available to everyone for free, and tracks everyone who plays on nearly every site, I don't see it as an unfair advantage.

The best ones are Poker Tracker 3 and Holdem Manager. I downloaded both trials, and these programs are amazing!
They cost about $70, but you can get a free version if you sign up through their site to some poker rooms.
I am apparently still too lazy to really get going with these, as they are VERY complex to use properly and require "study". lazy lazy lazy bastard that I am.
I will definitely get one in the future, if my bankroll ever gets anywhere decent. Then I would pick Holdem Manager, but it's really up to personal preference. You have to try them out to see which you like best.
Most of the "real moneymakers" online use them apparently.
