You can still use it freely for about 5 times if you do not have a premium account but you would not get as much details as you would wish for, for me you should stick with playing SNGs and using the free searches and when you can afford it buy a premium sharkscope and you will be making money thanks to that, it will be helpful as it will let you get to see how some players you playing against do at the tables. Though would not be worth it if you cannot even make money off sngs

Yeah I know about the free searches, I just wanted to get stats of myself of 2 specific SNG types. Btw I wouldn't agree on the statement that one would make more money using sharkscope to track other people's results, if using a HUD you'll very quickly see who's a fish and who's a reg anyways

Yeah I already did try PPLabs, however I wanted results on KO SNGs, and I noticed that they don't track the bounty-prizes you win throughout, lowering the actual winrate by loads

Posted by Macubaas: I'm sure that mobsters that play sng or mtt mainly have premium accounts on that site and should assist you, i don't have unfortunately...
I never agreed the idea that sites like that or HUD software should be banned, as long as all people can use them why ban them?
Might sound weird to you but over 3 years of playing sngs/mtts I always only had a basic account there. I've found an alternative now - Macropoker. They also give 5 free searches per day, but they allow you to use advanced filter (if you have an account there) without having a subscription. Subscriptions are also cheaper (strting from $3/Month I believe), so excellent alternative ro sharkscope, I'd even say even better than Sharkscope

Can you try out the subscription without paying, like on deucescracked? (It says that there is a "7 day money back guarantee on all monthly plans", but i just want to confirm that it's the case) 2. Is the SNG guide downloadable?

I don't know about the money back guarantee, but I can't imagine that sharkscope will rip someone off, would be bad for their reputation.
As for the SNG-Guide, although the results of this guy seem very impressive, I wouldn't recommend paying money for this guide. All his results are from old FTP-MTSNGs-times. Nowdays the games are much tougher, and for todays' game he would probably not even close achieve the results he has in his graph. They price it worth $145, but there are much more valuable and especially cheaper alternatives if you want to learn SNGs.

Hello BeMyATMplz Web results serve to separate the chaff from the wheat; ie whether a player is winning or losing. It is important to have this information before starting an S & g
if you want to study your game Sharkscope I tell you that is not the only Web results.
There are other websites that offer the same information.
Well if you are looking for is not on a leave in another ..

No I'd completely disagree here, except for the fact for game selection, but that only becomes important in higher games ($15s+). Everything below every game is usually good enough to play.
What will it tell me if a specific player has for example 5% ROI? It tells me that he is winning player and has some sort of clue, but it still doesn't tell me how he plays. He could still be a manian or a Nit. And that's the important thing to know, which only a HUD can tell me.
If a 14/11 (HUD stats) player has 5% ROI, and another 14/11 player has 10% ROI, I won't play any different vs. this player because there is just no reason for it. However, if a 14/11 player has 5% ROI, and another player, lets say 20/18 also has 5% ROI I will have to adjust my play between both of the players (i.E. I can steal alot the more tight a player is, a 20/18 player will often 3bet shove my steal attempts).
So yes, having an idea about the others' players results (normally you should have all Regs colour-marked anyways) is important to decide wheter or not you join a game, but ingame it gives zero information.
