This is a league of the best newcomers to sky poker this year.
There are 13,722 players for whom I have no record of any entry into any of the 3,240 major tournaments last year (nor the thousands in prior years either).
These players have scored the most points in the past rolling month.
These are the best Newbies.
Unlikely to be new to the game, likely to be new to us. Beware.
It is a measure of a consistent quality performance.
There is a threshold of 50 games played out of 5,555 major tournaments played so far this year. The threshold is there to ensure that the results are meaningful.
There are 3,674 players who have played more than 50 games, here are the best 12.
Two leagues that are quite interesting. These compare two averages; Heads per game and Points per game. I know that the mathematics of comparing averages is not the most robust, nevertheless, it works for this.
Points are awarded in each of the major tournaments as follows; 1st = 10, 2nd = 7, 3rd = 5, Final table = 3, Cash = 1 point.
Fearless are those who have a high average heads per game and with low average points per game.
Fear shows those who are at the opposite end. Those with a low average heads per game and a high average points per game.
The interpretation of this data is up to you, really.
For me, I look at those high in the Fearless league as being likely to be quite aggressive and, maybe, far too aggressive.
Those high on the Fear list are those to be wary of. These players will take your chips. However, they are also likely to be missing out on winning more chips. Their bet sizing might be too small and they might be playing sub-optimally.
the site is growing steadily. the funny thing is that there are some hugely valuable stats which are as yet relatively undiscovered. for example, the page for the entrants into the main event tonight. which reminds me, i had better get on and post it.
cheers man. glgl and well played yesterday with your two majors. excellent play.
They show the top players this year by looking at 36,769 players in 5,591 tournaments.
These leagues show percentage rate and therefore there is a minimum threshold in order to exclude the figures of those who have played fewer than 50 games this year.
These are the best players on skypoker who reach the Final Table or who Cash.
I have often contemplated the issue of overlay and who it benefits. i have seen several posts on this forum about the merits of overlay.
As a one-off, it is great for players but not great for the business. The business chooses to offer guarantees to generate greater volumes, and therefore greater revenues. However, the cost of taking this risk is the money lost as overlay.
In my view, the single most important thing, which benefits everyone, is VISIBILITY OF OVERLAY. Overlay with visibility will attract players to join in and will steer people towards particular tournaments. Consequently extreme overlays are less frequent. Risk of business loss is reduced. The fear of increasing the guarantees is lessened. Guarantees are increased.
Visibility of Overlay is a good thing.
Yesterday, OVERLAY of £420 was added to the prizepools of 5 major games. You might be able to see where OVERLAY is most likely in today's 21 major tournaments

FEARLESS and FEAR
Two leagues that are quite interesting. These compare two averages; Heads per game and Points per game. I know that the mathematics of comparing averages is not the most robust, nevertheless, it works for this.
Points are awarded in each of the major tournaments as follows; 1st = 10, 2nd = 7, 3rd = 5, Final table = 3, Cash = 1 point.
Fearless are those who have a high average heads per game and with low average points per game.
