russian roulette and poker league

There is a certain player who seems to play RR 99% of his poker time and due to volume has made it into the top 10 sng player in the poker league. Clearly this confers rights such as playing in the TSP final which for me is wrong. The results obtained are as a result of random luck rather than skill. 

I admit I play a some of these games each month, but they are a very small percentage of my overall games. I think SP shouldnt award league points for these, dont have a problem with poker points.

    it is lol but what you gonna do :)

    tbf when you play RR you pay rake so only fair that they get 'compensated' the same in terms of points, even League ones.

    I think you should qualify for rakeback, but my point is as an extreme someone could make it onto tsp without playing a competitive hand. Therefore, keep giving poker points but no league points, simples!

    Totally agree,
    I was thinking this the other day, giving poker points for russian roulette is fair but giving league points makes no sense.

    You wanna try the turbocharged dyms, expect your ak suited to be called by the monster that is 46 off when the blinds are 10/20, 6 on the river, standard.
