I'm curious.
I've just moved up in stakes and looking to play the really bad -20% plus losers. So this is my method.
I wait for a player to sit down then sharkscope then, if they are a monster loser I sit in (as most people do I'm sure). But this is the problem I'm having, by the time I look them up, the table is already full.
Is there any software out there that speeds up this process?
How do you guys deal with this?

full tilt is the best site to use this "method" of game selecting...basically at the 22 dollar level and below the tables fill up quickly so what u may have to do is pull up and empty table when someone is sitting and then search the next person who sits there hoping they are a losing and in the meantime you can hit register and have the ok to enter register square come up to make things faster...at the 55 level and up i dont have as much of a problem because not as many play this level like they do the 22's and below....this method is more difficult on pokerstars and some other sites i play full tilt mostly....neways good luck with it
I've got it.
on Full tilt you can quickly copy and paste the user name of a player when they appear in the new lobby on sharkscpoe and it only takes a second to find a - 30% drooler.
So now we just need to see if playing a -30% player vs a + 20% player will give a 50% ROI??? lol you can only hope ;)
What stakes do you play?
This is pretty much impossible to do in the 3 digit buyins or higher on Stars these days.
Not sure about FTP.
I'm only playing the $10 games. I'm Paris_Tillton on Full Tilt.
I just started with $30 in the $2 games and have now just started playing the 10's. I didn't realise that when the lobby opens, you can copy and paste the user name into sharkscope which is handy as i'm a slow typer.

Game selecting the $10 level... is this a joke? It would be very unlikely to come across anyone good.

at the $10 level, most players are below average
You realize that's an oxymoron don't you?
If you have a good looking Sharkscope then as a general rule you can just sit down first and the fish will come, and the better players will look you up and tend to avoid you, the fish either don't use Sharkscope or don't care :)
I just started doing this at the 10.50 buy in on stars. I bring a table up in the lobby view when it is empty and just wait for someone to pop in. THen I quickly type their name in on sharkscope and sit down if they are a losing player. You would actually be surprised how many winning players I look up. My thought is why play a winning player when it's so much easier to take the fish's money. Honestly I moved up a level so I can do this. I was playing the 6.25 turbo's but you can't look them up fast enough like you can the $10.50's. I type fast too. It also helps to put your mouse on the register button as your typing so you can just click and hit enter. Since I started doing this I've seen a major improvement in results because you are playing total wankers.
