Yes. Yes indeed.

Oh, anyone else noticed he's playing a bajillion low buyin MTT events where like first place is only 1-3k or so?!? This makes no sense to me. Doesn't Stars count like your top 20 finishes? Wouldn't even placing first in some of these events basically not help his cause?

Gigabet is confusing, [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img].

There is not a linear relationship between the amount of money won and the number of points gained. Winning a 1000 person field in a $10 buyin is going to be slightly better than beating a 100 person field in a $1000 buyin.

EDIT: In case people think I'm talking out my ass, here's the formula for Stars leaderboard points:

[ QUOTE ]

Points = 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]

Where:

n is the number of entrants
k is the place of finish (k=1 for the first-place finisher, and so on)
b is the buy-in amount in dollars (excluding administrative fee). For freerolls the buy-in is $0, and for FPP tournaments 1 FPP is counted as $0.05.
