SBR has never published the algorythm used. If memory serves, when they implemented the ratings, I believe SBR_John did indicate that they would publish it but that never materialized.

And regarding Bobby's post, I find that beyond amusing. There is not a player here that would be concerned about playing him, therefore there obviously is some severely warped/skewed calculations in the SBR ratings.

Lastly to be clear, I am not saying Bobby is a bad poker player per se, just that his style is very obvious and exploitable. IMHO, that is the main reason he does not sit at the ring tables regularly and only with rollover points.

To each his own, Bobby plays a certain way and that makes him happy, more power too him.
