What modifications do you make to your ranges against winning and losing players on the bubble with sharkscope HUD?

Do you tighten your pushing ranges on the bubble against a losing player?

Do you loosen your pushing ranges on the bubble against a winning player?

Appreciate your feedback.

losing players are probably too loose

and winning players are probably too tight, there you go

lnteresting, l sharkscoped a few players that bubbled and they all had two things in common, they were tight on the bubble and losing players.

ls the idea to maybe, open your pushing ranges up into tight losing players to take advantage as they are not going to be calling you as often and calling a much tighter range when they push into you because they are in fact tighter than they should be on the bubble?

Appreciate feedback, thanks in advance.

I think treating sharkscope hud as a crutch to make your push/fold decisions will be rather detrimental to your potential earns at the games, and overall understanding of SNG play. I also don't think you can make blanket statements like these accurately.

I don't use the Hud as I play on stars but sharkscope does pay for itself. Easily identifying players you've never played with before as fish/donk/shark can help immensely when deciding what line to play. That said it won't turn a losing player into a winning player by any means, it is another tool in the chest.

If you play Heads-Up games it is even more valuable as you can scour the tables for bad players and avoid very good ones.

Agree, with that 100%.
Also don't forget a broken clock is right twice a day.

I used the HUD for a few weeks and I think the truth lies somewhere in between these two posts. The information can be very useful early versus otherwise unknowns but really not useful at all for bubble situations imo.

I don't really use it for bubble decisions with donks, I try to go more off of what I have seen them doing.
But I will search my tables early and if I see someone with -20% ROI over like 1-2k games at the same stakes then it's pretty safe to assume they are an awful player and will make it easier for me to respect their action less... so lets say I'm button with AJs and they min-raise in the CO I flat call and stack off when I hit my J and they are getting their stack in with A6 high. May be a bad example but you get the idea.
If I see someone with 11% ROI at the 12's over 2k games I think it's safe to assume that he's a good player and that I can respect his action a lot and call him looser late when he shoves.
