Does anyone play the PSO league on pokerstars for the fun of it?
on the leader board do they rank you strictly based on your skill rating or is it a combination of other factors such as number of tournaments played, average finish, how many times you made the money ect?
The rank is based just on points.
I would add though that the points received in an individual tournament for certain placement vary depending on your current ranking in relation to the placement(you wont receive much if you are first in the league and/or have a lot of points and finish 200th I would think) on the number of players in a tourney and on the average level of people playing in that particular tourney.
Also if you make it to the money there is a significant jump in points received, points are not just linear function of placement.
well, I finally got my reply back from the support staff at Pokerstars and it basically stated that if I cannot participate in at least 5 PSO skill league tournaments a month, then I wouldn't even be high enough on the leader board for it to matter anyways. I guess my lifestyle makes it impossible for me to be a part of any poker league, its kind of a bummer, but it is what it is.
Nope, a lower ranking player will be awarded more points for a high finish that a high ranking player. Similarly, they will drop less points for an early exit than a usually good player.
i.e. your skill ranking actually works against you!
