#4so what's the math behind these ratings? not saying bobbywaves is not a good player, just how does he have a perfect score with only 2 first places and a 10th in the last month (and no ring badges). i could understand if they were all 1st, but the one 10th place finish should deduct some down. it also doesn't appear he's tearing up the cash games (unless he's playing the lower limit tables).
as for centaur, he has a 1st and two 2nd's which would seem to make him higher than 1400. this math makes no sense to me.
i wonder what shogunrua's is? he's been on fire the last month or so.Comment -

#5SBR 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.Comment -

#14No less than he expected I imagine...I think you're a pretty good player sin (and not too bad in cash, certainly better than some in this thread!)...but since your TidyBob "ROI" isn't even 2, no doubt bobby considers himself the superior playerComment -

#21Of course it doesn't determine outcome, but flipping hot streaks rarely happen. And if it does happen, a cold streak is sure to follow. So I don't see how that would inflate rating. Lucky to break even flipping, it's obviously done to save time rolling.Comment -

#22No; since rating is likely based on winning hands, playing Omaha H/l exclusively is what's responsible for a high rating...if you chop the H and the L, both people are "winners" even though they just got raked, and ratings increase for both accordingly. People who play actual poker will see less than 100% win at showdown %, and since folding postflop is likely treated at least partially as a loss, ring game poker ratings will be very low unless a player is a supernit. About the only reliable conclusion to draw from the rating system is that a greater one means the player is more timid.Comment -

It seems to be ELO-based...those type of rankings work well for 100% skill games with consistency (such as chess), but terribly for games with any element of variance. Even though much better statistical models exist for ratings, the lack of widespread adoption of any rating system shows how difficult it is to account for both skill and variance in any non-extreme sample size with any certainty. The most reliable rating system is (and probably always will be) winnings.
The last time I seen a rating system like this is when I used to play Euchre and it worked so games could be restricted to ratings. I dont see a purpose for this with poker tables, as high rated players would rather play lower rated players rather than the chess example above.Comment -
