Speaking of gank... (TLB points)
I'm impressed that he seems to be near the top of the Stars TLB month after month - current #3 for the year. I wonder how many tournaments one needs to play to achieve a decent monthly rank? I wonder how many hours per day of poker we are talking here... I honestly don't even know how the TLB points are calculated.
Ok, just found this on their site: Ok, so it's only MTTs, and they have some crazy formula for calculating the points: --- Here’s how it works: The top 15% of finishers will receive points towards the PokerStars Tournament Rankings standings, based the number of entrants, the tournament buy-in, and place of finish. Note: "Sit-and-go" tournaments, heads-up tournaments, restricted-entry tournaments, private tournaments, play money buy-in tournaments, and satellite tournaments do not count towards the rankings. The formula used to determine the total points awarded to a player (in the top 15% finishers) for any given tournament is: Points = 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)] Where: n is the number of entrants k is the place of finish (k=1 for the first-place finisher, and so on) b is the buy-in amount in dollars (excluding administrative fee). For freerolls the buy-in is $0, and for FPP tournaments 1 FPP is counted as $0.05. --- I don't think I'd have the time it would take to really ever take a stab at this, but it would be fun to try sometime... at least for a week. Just play in every MTT you could, day after day after day.... |
