Default Re: Does the Leaderboard mean anything?

[ QUOTE ]
The Leaderboard in some cases can mean very little

I am top 40 on the leaderboard. But here is an example of my results from today

53 (50+5) SNG's

1st 2nd 3rd
6 4 7

Down - $115 on the day

I will still get close to 700-800 points

The party leaderboard favours high volume players - over winning and more skillful players.

Either way - high volume is positvely correlated with winning otherwise you would go broke..

So shoot for the top

yup, pretty much. You could easily make #1 on the leaderboard by playing 100 20+2s every day for the month. In fact, a lot of the top people on the leaderboard ARE just 10-tabling the 22s/33s for 8 hours every day.

the thing is that the # of points you earn is actually logarithmic in relation to the buy-in, not linear. so you make like twice* the # of points for a 1st in a $1065 compared to a 1st in a $22.

*not sure exactly, but you get the picture.
