  1. Anyone who wants this please email their support. They've been talking about it forever but haven't added it yet. It would be a nice addition for SNG players.
  2. ive emailed about something like that similar to FTPs a few times i suppose another one couldnt hurt
  3. J, What do you propose for a points system. Do you think using the current TLB system would be appropriate / effective metric? It seems to me that the very high volume players like yourself would have a more significant advantage compare to the high volume MTT players have.

  4. that is how it is supposed to be, because you are awarding people for playing so much.
  5. lol @ sngs.

  6. wasnt that long ago
     
  7. im not interested in a leaderboard that is won by jhub every week/month/year... jk... i like the idea
     
  8. I don't really see another way to do it. It should reward those who play more. If you were to do something else it might just reward less skilled players who can't play as many tables or don't play as much. The most skilled players will be playing the most anyway because that's their job.

    lol @ your worthless response. Just as much money can be made in SNGs as in MTTs in the long run.

    I don't post much so I wouldn't know. However, it's very standard for people to rip SNG players. Many players who do this will never see the kind of money I do. The joke is on them.

  14. "It should reward those who play more"

    I only play on stars nowadays so i dont know if this happens on other sites, but does this mean some kind of financial reward etc for the top players on the list or is it purely for bragging purposes?
  15. Id love it if they did it like FTP does and give an X amount of buy ins to your "favorite buy in level" or the level you played the most at for that month or whatever time the leaderboard tracks.

    http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/proTour...eaderPrize.php

    Theres a link to what im talking about.
  16. That looks great, how do they score it,

    is it by pure profit?

    and how do they rake for it?
  17. theres a calculator some where on the site, im not sure on any extra rake i dont beleive there is any but i RARELY play on FTP
  18. the top sng players want to remain relatively anonamous(sp?). I would rather people think I am a fish then be seen on a leaderboard and have people avoid me/play me different.
  19. Eh with stuff like Sharkscope and other stat trackers its usually easy to find whos good and whos not at your table from the very start of an sng. Personally Id love to see it just to reward the players who dump a lot of money in rake per month. Id play much more volume if there were a leaderboard and cash to be playing for.
  20. they should just give rakeback. And with so many different kinds of sngs, 180ppl, 9ppl, 2ppl, tough to make a leaderboard out of that, and with all the diff buy-in it isnt fair to anyone who plays below $200
  21. They could make 4 seperate leaderboards like they have the games filtered, micro low medium high. I think that would work out well.
  22. FTP has a low & a high buy-in leaderboard. Also, if you're a high volume player, trhe VIp program at pokerstars is far better than the rakeback you receive at full tilt, and it's not even close.

    Yeah you're really thinking. If anyone is a good player they're gonna realize you're a top player after ashort while anyway. If they're a fish they're always gonna think you're a fish. If they see your results they'll just think you're lucky. That's why they're fish. The people that avoid you will almost certainly be good players, so that's good for you. The fish will just think that they're the most unlucky players in the world & that you're lucky. Tell me I'm wrong.

  24. Agreed on the VIP program being sweet.

    If stars got this rolling itd be amazing.
  25. Can you expand on this idea with a quick calculation? I always thought rakeback + FT Points + Iron Man > PS VIP Program for high volume players.

    Player 1: limps w/ 10BBs & folds to a shove
    Player 2: completes SB w/ JTs & insta-calls a shove for 10BBs
    Player 3: insta-calls 15BB effective shove from big stack on bubble w/ KQo when he's in 2nd place w/ 2.5x the short stack
    Player 4: Shoved into my BB 3 times in a row when I had less than 10BBs
    Player 5: called big stack shove at 200/400 on bubble w/ KJ when shorty had 500 chips

    Yeah, you're right, without stuff like sharkscope & leaderboards it's really tough to see who is a good player and who is not. After all, sharkscope & leaderboards are the only source of reads in SNGs. Good point sir.

  27. There should be a Cap for max number of Sngs that count for leaderboard each month otherwise people just mad spam them and win the leaderboard but they had a losing month in sngs
     
  28. cheese.

    I'm not sure exactly what FTP's leaderboard is like but I think the leaderboard should be based more on profit. If it isn't, well it prolly won't matter much anyway because that losing player playing 8548668568348 SNgs to win the leaderboard is going to make you money anyway. It's kind of a win-win situation either way.

  30. Im all for a leaderboard...i am definitely on a mission to make the sharkscope leaderboard, but it would be great to have a leaderboard at stars like the ones on fulltilt, being that i mainly play on stars. PS...Jhub PWNS!!!
