    Are there any regulars from Players Only out there? I think that the rankings should track results from this site. there is a nightly $20k guarantee, weekly $75k and a monthly $150k. there are typically anywhere from 4-5k players on the site. Thoughts?

    I agree, they should include them. As soon as they're able to get us the data, they'll be in. I'm not holding my breath currently, but I do believe it'll happen sometime this year

    Adam - what about sportsbook poker? it's on the Cake Network (i think that is what Players Only is on too), so any chance of getting it added to the rankings as well?

    Yes, if one skin is in, they'll all be tracked obviously, since they're the same tournaments/players.

    I'm kind of like a broken record in these posts, because they come up pretty frequently and I always say the same thing, which is:

    We don't pick and choose what sites are in the rankings. We would prefer they all be (except in the case of Absolute, where there's been a major player safety issue on the site), and we make strides constantly to try and get more data from more different sites/networks. It's just a very non-simple process to get this data. We obviously did not want to start having these automated rankings until we had a few of the most important sites in---particularly stars, Full Tilt, and party, which are the biggest sites.

    But that said, we'd like to have all of the networks in. Some that we've been working on getting for a while include ipoker, cake, betfair, and microgaming (microgaming and ipoker should both be coming in relatively soon). The problem is that this stuff is never a priority for the sites, and they always take forever to get us the data.

    To sum it up, when people post "I think xxx site should be in the rankings," our answer is almost always, "We agree, and we're trying."
