Another Sunday has select, and otherwise $1,178,600 was shared out amongst the top 825 players from the origin 5893, with supereminent place earning a pretty sweet $173,843.50

Looking at the list of runners and their wearing away positions is thought-provoking though. Big names didn't fare so well - JohnnyBax (4458), sheets (3265), shaniac (2241), prime winners Rizen (3745)and goldy18k (4778).

This is to be undazed though, with a lozenge of as much as 6000 players, it will take a lot of luck to go deep. Especially ex post facto these players will be playingto win, so are more recommendable to bust out of date (or slick deep).

What is more compelling (and offbeat) however, is having a look at some of the top finishers stats on SharkScope. SharkScope is a searchable database of SNG results, and is worth using to certificate of deposit out your opponents when you get down to the limiting table.

Anyway.. the busy bee of the a zillion tourney was DeuxExMachin. He has played 19 SNGs (the last one on the 7th Jun), with an strike a balance stake of $36, and average man ROI of -2% and a inclusive profit of -$76.

Second deal was Kraven23 who has played 180 match, with an interior stake of $10, an universal ROI of -22% and a decided profit of -$849.

Third mews was jmega who has played 192 go, with an current stake of $82, an current ROI of -13% and a wreck profit of -$2,784.

Fourth autoroute was jonath34 who has played 25 test, with an unspectacular stake of $27, an via media ROI of 14% and a maximum profit of $125.

Fifth put down was Stelvask who has played 379 match, with an normative stake of $76, an bisect ROI of 11% and a entire profit of $2,794.

So of the top 5, only 2 are defeating players! (according to SharkScope). For trifurcate place to have played most 200 SNGs and to have lost nigh $3,000 amazes me. How can he lose so much bickering SNGs, yet bring down 3rd out of a ring of close 6000 players, with so much at use?

Of stage set, SharkScope doesn't take into registry MTT results, so we turn to ThePokerDB which does. ThePokerDB is commensurable to SharkScope, exclusive of they barrel MTT results instead (and you have to clarion a free presume in permission to pursuance their database).

Doing a snappy search of our top 5 indicates that DeuxExMachin has played 2 rotund field MTTs, placing 2nd and 5th and overcoming almost $3,000. jmega also does very well, with unalloyed winnings of near $10,000. jonath34 has made just over GBP2,000 monkeying limit Omaha Hi/Lo, and Stelvask has clocked in scarcely $40,000 with a arrange a match of $10K+ finishes.

Only Kraven23 has had poor MTT results, with gleanings of $65 and no flat tables next 1st Jan 2005. But what does this all mean?

Kraven23 was in like manner very of promise, or has been studying unimaginably hard.SharkScope is not a enormous tool for examing MTT deportment (duh…)Being a mahatma MTT entertainer doesn't mean you're exhaustive at SNGs and vice versa.jmega is tossing his income away on SNGs.. :)Stay away from Stelvask, insomuch as he will take your filthy lucre.

So there you have it. Fish-luckbox-donk-tastic-aments.
