Ratings sites like OPR or Sharkscope...reliable? or NOT?
I just want to check in with everyone here regarding these "Player Tracking sites"
I am curious as to whether or not these sites hold any real value or not to a serious player... my questioning of the validity of any info gained by use of such sites, is mostly brought on by the fact that, when i first started playing online I tried all kinds of different strategies, MOST of which failed.
I was stricltly a for fun player , and it was not uncommon over the past couple of years for me to put the poker site up at which i had the most money, and then let my friends all play while we were hanging out.
the point of all that being......my stats are in no way accurate to my true game... and i find that this pays me off quite often in both ring games and in low stakes mtts, players will look up my screennames on these or other sites, and the stats displayed are admittedly dismal.
The result being that players who use these sites trying to glean some insight as to the skill level or depth of my game, almost without fail start to play me as if i am a hopeless donk, which is great for me, but leads me to the QESTION.... If bad info as a result of the above helps me...how many others may be misrepresenting themselves in similar if accidental ways? Looking for anyones take on this, as i would like to know from the serious minded playerws if they find these sights to be of major advantage to their game.
I'm new to FTR, love the site so far
thanks for your input
