In an effort to make it easier and faster for people to judge player abilities across wildly different stake ranges and tournament types, SharkScope has now introduce its custom “Ability” rating.

To form this rating we analyze all the statistics and results we have on a particular player and then give them a numeric rating that goes up to 100 for the very best players.

The rating takes into account that a player losing a small amount at high stakes, is likely a better player than a player winning money at low stakes – and so gives you a genuinely global rating of poker ability.
