btw no Ipad for best player this year?
BTW you do realize that us europeans mostly compete against eachother in the 3PM tourney? you will probably find some europeans in the 10AM tourney, some in the 7PM tourney and probably none in the 11PM tourney? Take a guess in how many tourneys you will find US people ...The previous structure (and to a lesser extent the upcoming one) reward mediocrity, by letting underperforming world players go into a brief, high-variance format on equal footing with dominant US players. Not a single person on the world or European teams last year could have made it onto team USA, or most likely even in the confederates of this year.

Seems unavoidable with most players being US, right? I'd support adding a 3 AM or 5 PM tourney more in line with world schedules, but I suspect you'd see similar proportions of US even then. As for competing against each other, vast majority of US competes against other US players too, so not sure that's any different.BTW you do realize that us europeans mostly compete against eachother in the 3PM tourney? you will probably find some europeans in the 10AM tourney, some in the 7PM tourney and probably none in the 11PM tourney?

Great idea...but I thought people were complaining these player ratings weren't accurate? Apparently SBR corrected problem & all player ratings are accurate now. If so, Tripe D's rating should b 1,400. Please confirm your rating Tripe. My rating below seems quite accurate.an idea for the future:
SBR poker team championship
SBR will select team leaders per say, Gummo, Jake , Autodonk, The money shot, Bitemyusdj, Smitch124, Triple D , etc and then according to the handicap given by the SBR player rating make up the teams.
Again, just a thought.
Best regards to all
How do you modify your ratings to 2300?
By playing exceptional poker apparently.How do you modify your ratings to 2300?
fold everything, wait for the people who are trying to win knock each other out, use the timer to the last beep, play like a coward more or less. play like that you are guaranteed a 10th place all the time. Boring but trueHow do you modify your ratings to 2300?
Pay tight aggressive, don't push all in with Q,4 off like Mitch.How do you modify your ratings to 2300?
I assume Mitch has an accurate 1400 rating.
probably, Bobby can I have 100pts. Thanks budPay tight aggressive, don't push all in with Q,4 off like Mitch.

What interest rate u looking for?
There's several good reasons why these systems aren't widely used to rate poker players...but let's not kid ourselves bobbo, you're extremly ill-equipped to understand any of the math or basic poker theory behind it. Recognizing which of 2 numbers is higher (regardless of context) seems to be the extent of your math skillsGreat idea...but I thought people were complaining these player ratings weren't accurate?

Apparently, play Omaha H/L exclusively so even though you get raked for 10-20% of your chips, you're a "winner"How do you modify your ratings to 2300?
It seems the rating system is a consolation prize for those who can't put up the big numbers for winning actual points...why am I not surprised to find Bobbo at the top of another meaningless rating system with $0 and 0 points reward? Unreal...guy's proud that he's sitting in the front seat of the short bus
A simple screen shot with your 1400 rating would have sufficed Tripe, no need to defend your poor rating.There's several good reasons why these systems aren't widely used to rate poker players...but let's not kid ourselves bobbo, you're extremly ill-equipped to understand any of the math or basic poker theory behind it.
