In Response to Re: Major MTT Strength : The problem with this is you say its objective when it is your opinion of the information. When you show your tables as fun its fine, when you are effectively advising players on what to play it changing things. If you were showing how reggy games are then that's fine but your tables link volume to ability then you judge how hard a game is. Some on the forum will take the information with a pinch of salt, others will take it as gospel and this is where I have concerns. Posted by MattBates
So many things in this thread are of interest. Will tackle them as I see them. I will say just about everyone agrees that a lot of work goes into correlating all the results and we all agree it takes dedication and players acknowledge your work .
1. interpretation of numbers is a different thing. i seek a pattern over a long period of time, and how the numbers relate to each other, how one player's pattern differs from another's or the norm, all to indicate a style of play that might lead to a tweak. one such tweak last week helped (in a small way) one player to win again and they did so in a main event. this has happened on many occasions where people have asked me to comment. i am delighted to see when it works for them.
I am sorry but I cannot fathom how seeing any of your tables would lead someone to win a main event. There is no pattern to be gleamed from your tables that can’t be seen from SS or looking at the table for 1 or 2 orbits. A losing player will be a losing player just the same as a winning player would be a winning player. Unless I have missed the table about limping, 3 betting ,button raises etc I’m not sure how you can claim that patterns can lead to a style off play.
it's not as simple as you think.
sunday's £110 major at 8pm had a strength "ok". whereas sunday's £11 game at 8:15pm had a strength noted as "hard".
This again leads to the assumption of you saying best player from your site is linked to volume. At a quick glance in your top `100 players there are at least 3 players that are down 5 figures so how can you classify that they are in the top 100 players on Sky ?. You then go on to rank all the mtts you track based on these figures. So if your base figures are wrong every mtt strength is also wrong.
Best way to find out how tough a tournament is, is to ask the people who play them. I would say if you asked the 50 most regular Mtt players on the site their top 5 toughest Mtt's each week i would say their answers would be very similar
I totally agree with this but according to your tables this is not true.
Its all information and it is up to people to interpret. I do worry about statements like avoiding games considered tough when you look at the games that are considered tough. I doubt a number of the games would be considered tough if you asked sky MTT regs.
Again same as above.

pat,
results from 30,000 games are collated with 100,000 players over 8 years
every method to determine best player is flawed. 43 different leagues are produced every day with the latest data. each league is only meaningful if you find it so. discard those are not. if you have a personal 44th league use that instead.
you might have seen your Hero Card at some stage on my site. i have produced them for 5 years. they are a place to see all results, stats, charts, ranking, past years performance, ratings etc for one player.
that's it for the site. beyond this, interpretation is off line and not on the site.
over the past five years, i have looked at the "pattern of results" on a Hero Card and have learned how to read them. the Hero Card is where I first see a pattern. that is, how certain figures relate to other figures for any one particular player and, thereafter, how a player's pattern of figures compare to other player patterns. i can form an opinion of strengths and weaknesses, even style and i can take a view on someone's play.
occasionally, i have been asked for my opinion. whether here on the forum, off line, social media, face-to-face, i am happy to look at a particular Hero card and share my view on what it means to me. i have only done this for my virtual friends when they have asked. there are a number of threads on this forum where you will see this.
i am delighted when any comment i make is taken on board. i am delighted when any player goes on to do something noticeable soon after. of course, their success is all to do with their own skill. my part, is only to suggest a tweak or two.
there are two things. the 43 best player leagues on my website and my interpretation of patterns on Hero cards. best player leagues will not help a player win any tournament, interpretation of patterns probably won't either.
this is too serious . i look at what ive deposited and what ive withdraw in my bank to weather ive won or lost and ignore all the stats Posted by stokefc
"I recall your astonishing post elsewhere about a road rage event, where you actually followed someone to their home and you strode to his front door to confront him. you posted that the householder was rude to close the door on you and not to answer you. breathtaking. what on earth were you doing there? it was the best way to deal with you, paul."
You don't recall very well. Please don't make up stuff. Made even worse by you telling Markycash to be "careful" about taking things out of context shortly after.
Here's my post from April 2016
It's rather different to how you describe it.
Oh, and please don't read my threads
You're simply not welcome
"People are Strange (good Doors song )
Just driving on a very quite street. Needed to turn around and so reversed into a side street. Didn't notice car behind me. He may have just got there or been there when I reversed. My fault. Didn't hit him but was maybe close
He pulled in his drive so I turned back round and went to his door and apologised
Not a word, totally blank look, he shut the door in my face.
I'd find it so hard to do that. Entirely blank someone. I do the thing that I think most people do. Someone I don't like is walking towards each and I think to myself "I'll blank them"
Then when we pass each other I either give a small nod or go "hi mate"
"Confront" is just the same as "apologise" eh Aussie?
Your recollections are about as accurate as your stupid tables
If they put Jac v Aussie on the undercard of the Mayweather v McGregor fight, I'd definitely buy it. Jac's entrance music could be "I'm forever blowing bubbles"
Maybe they'll put Hhy v Maxally on the undercard, too.

In Response to Re: Major MTT Strength : Didnt know you could get away with knob. They stopped one of mine the other day with f-g in it. All I said was smoking a f-g. I had to take f-g out. So you can say knob, but not f-g, irrespective of the context. Posted by HAYSIE
Lol
I've been on here a long time Haysie
You get to work out the words that you can get away with
Edit: just looked at how long.
Happy Birthday me
One of my finer days on the forum too which is a nice bonus
