Sharkscope HUD

Does anyone use the sharkscope HUD? Does it work ok with Pokerstars since i thought sharkscope was officially banned?

Banned

Sharkscope says it is officially banned from pokerstars list, but noone they know has been caught and they have no way of knowing you have it. Feedback?

Yes they can....

Pokerstars (and others) scans your list of running processes (programs) looking for banned software.Even if you change the exe name (and hence the process name) this still wont work, as often the poker client will send back key parts of the binary for analysis if it thinks there is something worth looking at. There is also information within the exe that Stars can scan to see if it really is a banned app or not to. (and you cant change that by renaming).If you read PS ToS fully, they actually breach your privacy quite abit... (or reserve the right to)Personally I dont see it worth the risk to use software which may get you banned, for only a minimal increase in edge at best... Better to improve your game imho, HEM/PT is a must, but all else is gimmick to me. Also, as if Sharkscope would tell you if they knew anyone who was banned...

I think it was in the HUSNG

I think it was in the HUSNG reg thread (could have been in another thread though) on 2+2 someone said they had gotten in some trouble for using it, but I can't recall exactly. Do you not have HEM or PT? From what I've heard the sharkscope HUD isn't that great anyways.

hud

I do have HEM. I'm trying to work on 4 tabling and finding some shortcuts rather than after sitting doing a search of them by hand. Its pretty tough balancing. Have you tried ninja btw?

If you're 4 tabling and are

If you're 4 tabling and are SSing all your opponents I can understand the appeal, but I personally wouldn't want to risk being caught by one of the sites that has it banned.As for table ninja, I tried the trial and loved it, but at the moment I don't have much to gain by buying it because I'm trying to learn HU so i'm one tabling and hotkeys, set bet amounts, and autojoin aren't needed for one tabling.
