Really ? I just checked and I still got my shark wiggling its tail !

Anyone can manipulate the preferences to get a Shark Chip.... Keep Dreaming 
I was quite shocked myself to see it, but there you go.
or 
No, I certainly wouldn't class myself as one either, it just goes to show there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
You bink a decent MTT, and suddenly they give you a shark. Rather makes a mockery of the whole thing, but there you go.

If you search by all games on Ongame rather than just stts its deffo there. Or it was last night.
I Beg your pardon Chip... think i clicked Reset Defaults on preferences on IE which shows no Shark.. Rechecked on Firefox and there it was in all its Glory!... When did you win your MTT? How was you running at the time in general?
It was the WSOP 6 shooter things in the Summer, had 5 tickets, and there were about 700 runners each night I think with the top two getting a 5.7k package. Finished 5th, 1st, 9th, and 3rd I seem to recall, 4 nights running, so I guess you could say I ran good, even though I thought I ran really bad, especially on the last night when we were down to the last 3, and I got it all in well ahead only to get sucked out on, in a hand essentially played for nearly 6k.
I think 6 seat MTT's suit me because you see a lot more flops and you have to be a lot more creative, but then I would say that.
I do miss the fishbowls. While you still see some pretty bad BF stats on there, I do think the standard in STT's has got a lot better. Where a couple of years ago we were sat with a load of Cyps, Greeks, Spaniards, and Italians, you only have to look at the STT Leaderboard to see that these days its all Eastern European players, especially on an evening.
Theres probably still some value in the MTT's but the BF MTT lobby does my napper in, everythings a qualifier to something else, and I never seem to see anything affordable running at a time when I like to play. I prefer the MTT lobby on 888, and the players are bad there too, unfortunately there is very little STT traffic.

Shark can vary from gold fish to nothing to shark depending on run's in tournaments if that's what you are looking at.
Personally on MTT's I prefer OPR (you can then search by month), drill down by tourneys as well. Let's put it this way I was happy with my 5 free searches a day on shark. Can do more on OPR for free.
OPR is pretty good for picking out the variance in MTTs generally. What's not so good is that it can get you focussed too much on results and bad luck and that is bad for your poker thinking - or that's what I've been told today.
So I'm still looking on my biggest win showing on OPR as my biggest piece of bad luck ever when I should be thinking that I did the right thing, made the right decision, and I should think differently about it because that's what the pros do. I also had some good luck too a few hours in. And managed to grind an extra $1000 in my last hour in that tourney (and I reckon that is because everyone else tightened up far too much whereas I had nothing to lose).
Chip ran really well in 6 shooter and was really unlucky in that last one. On here 6 handed SH deepstacks MTTs appear good value (even to a tight nit like me).

I always find getting through the early stages the hardest part, at least with 6 seaters you are forced to play a lot of hands and be creative.
Once you get past halfway a lot of the bad players are out, which, bizarrely, I find makes it easier.
