STRENGTH
NEW addition to www.PokerSuperHero.com
Would you like to see which games are hard or soft? Added to each major game result is a count of how many top players were involved. Plus a strength factor and finally whether the field was "soft", "ok", "hard" or "OMG".
You can see all major game results here www.PokerSuperHero.com/results
See a summary of the STRENGTH of this week's games here

sunday's £110 major at 8pm had a strength "ok".
whereas sunday's £11 game at 8:15pm had a strength noted as "hard".

yes, that is true matt.
a handful of players will not distort the strength assessment
any player who has played so few games that they have not ever made it to the top 100 players at any time in the past 6 months will not influence the strength assessment.
there are 8,000 players who have appeared in the best player leagues. quantity wise, the number of these playing is taken into account. quality wise, how high in the best player leagues is a second factor.
i was interested to see where the value might be. there is nothing that has done this before, apart from the "avoid mattbates" app.
the 9pm has been rated "hard" 4 times in the last 7 days and rated "OMG" three times.
i didn't realise it was so tough. mind you, i thought the 8pm main on sunday was a no go mtt. but it isn't.
i've just edited that sentence. all best player leagues are the 100 best players.
any idea why?
thanks. i would use it the same way. avoid some, target others.
mine is a combination of quantity and quality. i choose the method that can be argued against less than alternatives methods. what i do is assess performance by a standard test. the mtts are the top games, no cash, no sngs, no freerolls, no this, no that. therefore the standardised "test" i use is a truer test of ability and achievement. it is more readily calibrated, interpreted and performances compared.
what it gives me is the ability to know how good someone is likely to be. no matter, it all is subject to what cards are dealt.
the ukops high roller question ... we will know better when it next runs. there is no allowance made for size of buy-in, nor should there be imo. the players are the same, just a reduced skill range probably. i think i would see a ok to hard game . the entrants mix will include a higher number of wealthy average players plus more good players.
remember that there are few profitable players in poker.
those in all my best player tables will almost without fail be profitable players. i identify the top 100 from 5,000 unique players a week, 10,000 unique players a month, 50,000 unique players a year. i am 99.9% certain that all top 100 best players are profitable. confident because 100 from 50k (or 5k for that matter) is such a small proportion.
