- How do I change the size of an advice section?
-
In the Sit & Go Shark™ interface, click "Options" then "Modify Layout". Adjust the number of "Text Lines" using the arrows on the right side. There is a maximum amount of space that Sit & Go Shark™ can use ("Maximum Height Reached"), so if you might need to make one section smaller (or hide it) in order to increase the size of another section.
Also, you can change the order of the advice tabs by clicking the up and down arrows on the left side of the "Modify Layout" dialog box.
- There's too much text to read in the time given.
-
If you prefer to see less text at any given time, simply go to "Modify Layout" and hide the less important advice sections.
- How do I view previous advice after the hand is over?
-
On the Sit & Go Shark™ interface there is a link named "last" in each section. Click these links anytime to display the previous piece of advice.
- What happens when I click the "more" link in an advice box?
-
For longer pieces of advice, a "more" link will appear (because the text will not fit into the box). When you click "more" a tan-yellow box will appear to show the entire text.
- What's the most important advice section to pay attention to?
-
Each section of Sit & Go Shark™ is important in its own ways, but the "Your Cards" section usually features the most in-depth strategic advice.
- Sit & Go Shark™ gives advice about my cards before they're done dealing. How?
-
In many online card rooms there is a slight delay between when the casino "deals" the cards and when you actually see them. This is caused by the fact that you're watching an animation of the cards going out. Therefore, in some casinos it will appear that Sit & Go Shark™ knows your cards a split second before you do. You can change this by simply changing your casino settings to not display the "dealing" animation.
- What if the advice from one section contradicts another?
-
Sometimes the advice from one section (i.e. "Positioning") will contradict the advice from another section (i.e. "Your Cards"). This is perfectly normal and intentional. Each section is independent of one another. As a teaching tool, Sit & Go Shark™ gives you perspectives on each of the seven "critical success factors". Since poker is a very complicated game where there's not always one "right answer", some contradictions will appear.
- How can I use Sit & Go Shark™ on multiple games?
-
If you want to use Sit & Go Shark™ for another game, just open the program again (the same way as you opened it the first time). Now when you are asked what table you want advice for, select the new game and click "GO".
- For what stakes does Sit & Go Shark™ advice apply?
