so which coping mechanism will you go with

I'll just go with quoting you directly, agreeing to my original statement:

Correct, nobody can "know" with 100% certainty which tournament will be smallest.

I'll just go with quoting you directly, agreeing to my original statement:

Ah yes: read and quote only a single sentence, completely ignoring everything before and after it. Similar to the "read and quote onyl first sentence, but displays even greater ignorance, proving that the context was read but wasn't comprehended.

Classic bobbo, doing his best to convince us he's an idiot You don't have to try so hard though bobbo, we believe ya

yearly standings for the top 15 are on the right hand side...makes it easy to track since both parties have been in the top 15 for much of the year...

watch these crazy fukks tie

Oh snap....we never set a tiebreaker! I can't think of an appropriate one that would work for both of us either...bobbo certainly won't play heads up to settle it, or in ring games, or in any other format that doesn't take 12-60 months to complete. We can't settle the tie with who's better at math, or who's wittier (wouldn't be fair to bobbo)....any suggestions anyone?

I suggest # of points per cash.

[bobbywaves]

I suggest # of points per cash.

Of course you would...I suggest the total # of cashes, which is obviously more appropriate.

Doubt we'll agree on a tiebreaker, so our bet will be a push in that very rare event.

Why not take a poll of the SBR poker community?

I would suggest that a larger points per cash average is a pretty good indicator of a higher skill in long term poker bet.

Over a short term, say 1-3 months, more cashes might be ok but for a year, points per cash would be a better indicator of poker skill.

Not interested in a popularity poll. Total # of cashes is obviously the strongest indicator of skill, that's why SBR has used it as a tiebreaker in prior contests.

It's irrelevant, as the chance of a tie is 0.44%

I don't think either points per cash or number of cashes is a good tie breaker. The goal is the most points, and while getting their with fewer cashes certainly indicates a person did so more efficiently (as opposed to playing more and folding to more tiny cashes), I don't know that it's a decent tiebreaker. Most cashes is even less appropriate, as it indicates less skill, not more.

Points per tourney would be more accurate indicator of skill, but I doubt that will be acceptable, as my ratio would be higher than bobbo's in the event of a tie. Any of the other indicators of skill I can think of are similarly lopsided, and I can't see bobbo agreeing to forfeit in the event o a tie...so at this point we'd have to call it a push I think. Would be seriously anti-climactic though!

Comical as always...by your logic, hand for hand at 15 going away at 14 must make sense too, 'cause SBR does it

0.44%? I'd ask to show us how you arrived at that, but there's far too much of your short-bus math on the boards as it is We'll just assume you're wrong, seems to be a pretty safe bet

[Ra77er]

I'd vote for a max buy-in HU on handicapper hill (in the event of a tie). SBR would graphically place all of the betpoints from this wager on the table to provide a little drama.

It has nothing to do with a popularity contest.

If your average points per cash is higher, over a long time, then it stands to reason you are a better poker player because you would, on average and over a reasonable length of time gather more points.

That said, I knew you would not agree because you think that I am one of Triple's "cronies" independant of what I have stated is logical.

[bobbywaves]

Has everything to do with a popularity contest. Since Tripe has the higher pts per cash ratio, the poll will go in his favor. Mindless idiots will vote for the person, instead of the issue. Like I said before it's irrelevant, as it's not going to end in a tie.

Couldn't be further from the truth. So 10.5 months is not a "reasonable length of time" to you, regarding your above definition? It's obviously ample time & notice I have more pts than Tripe, proving your own theory wrong:

bob currently in the lead...this could be the biggest upset since Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson

[BeerDog99]

lol, Bobby's arguments are mind-bendingly amusing..... It would be a popularity contest because Triple_D is leading in the points per cash?

Funny how Bobby is now back to posting the link again because he is in the lead again by 160pts.

[bobbywaves]

Hardly an upset, considering the fact I smoked Tripe last year.

My explanation was quite simple, not my fault you can't comprehend it: People will vote for the person, instead of the issue. Go ahead & create your little poll, it won't change anything. Fact is, Tripe & I aren't going to agree on something unbeneficial. Easy to see why we forgot to discuss tiebreaker prior to challenge, as there's less than a 1% chance of it happening.

Link was posted only to prove your own theory wrong, regarding pts per cash.

If it happened, it would be a huge upset; more like Buster's mentally challenged cousin knocking out Tyson though

When a guy is this transparent, it's no mystery why he can't hold his own against many players...at least, it's no mystery to most of us; the only one he's fooled is himself (and given the rampant ducking after his beatdown from DS, maybe he hasn't even done that)

[bobbywaves]

When a guy is this transparent, it's no mystery why he can't hold his own against many players.

Yet out of all the people playing poker here, there's only 11 players outscoring me on the year...& you're not one of them. Just more tripe coming out of Tripe, making ignorant statements he can't back up.

Well now, look who suddenly wants to talk about a leaderboard...I wonder why you'd mention it after doing your best to ignore it for months?

When you do stuff like this, you prove my point for me

Very simple Tripe...Unlike you, I don't talk chit while trailing.

Triper back in the lead....hopefully for good

In the SBR version of the tortoise and the hare, ol' torty has taken the lead again with a slew of min cashes this week

Win, lose, or draw, Jake, Beerdog, & Gummo are surely getting their monies worth in entertainment value.

I thought this would be clinched by now but we have to sweat a come from behind victory..

Bobbo will never let you live this one down, triper

LOL I am sweating more now because I will points broke if I lose... DOH!!! Go Triple Go!

:-)

[bobbywaves]

Tripe is sweating more than both of you, as he'll need an 18k loan. At least I have it covered, if I lose.

[yisman]

if you lose, I'll give you 250 to start over.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

This might come down to the last day

[Slanina]

Man this is one close race. No matter who wins, I don't think any one can clearly state they're better. It's two different styles with exactly the same result. Good luck to both in the last 14 tournaments.

I think we've established there's no logical reason behind what bobbo chooses to believe most times

Haha, I'll try just for you BD...but just in case, I'll guarantee ya in the event of a loss, nothing to worry about

Tripe is sweating more than both of you, as he'll need an 18k loan. At least I have it covered, if I lose.

Quite aside from the fact that I have plenty of points to cover myself, those of us that aren't "ret***ed" (bobbo spells it "retired", I think he's simply misspelling something a little more accurate) don't really sweat betpoints...one of the perks of playing actual poker instead of spending hundreds of hours just to rollover with minimal losses

Man this is one close race. No matter who wins, I don't think any one can clearly state they're better. It's two different styles with exactly the same result. Good luck to both in the last 14 tournaments.

Somewhat true: based on the results alone, you'd be hard-pressed to call one a definitive winner. However, one guy playing 6 more tourneys than the other, spending hours a day angle-shooting for the smallest field possible, stalling and slow-playing for a slightly better chance to mincash and STILL not being able to claim a definitive win in a lopsided format which specifically rewards min-cashing tells you all you need to know about who's the better player

I'll argue that one is better than the other and the sample size was not long enough to prove it. There are numerous possible reasons why but I won't get into it. One year is a pretty big sample size but we have seen numerous pros run hot for a year or so then fall off the face of the earth. That said, both have had a nice year on the felt.
