I was wondering about some of the people that end up on various league leaderboards that are run by PS, and the best way to end up on those leaderboards. I suppose the simple answer is, to play well and to keep winning tournaments!
It has been mentioned in our threads here about playing the Open Skill League and Premier Skill League that it is possible to play aggressively early and secure a couple of double ups, then simply sit out until there are 1,000 players left which is when points start being awarded. Then start playing again, by which time you will have a relatively small stack and will need to start playing aggressively again to try to build your stack back up.
I play quite often in the Women's Poker League, and I was quite interested to read a PS Blog about some of the people that are on their leaderboards.

Now I have encountered quite a few of these players, and none of them have stats which suggest TAG, LAG or tournament leaderboard standard of player to me (cue the standard jokes about women being bad poker players). The electrically charged lady shows at 26/14/5 with 33% flop cbet. The Yukon lady has a PFR of 6% but will raise with K6s from EP and then show her cards, trying to convince people that she's loose/fishy. Or she'll limp with KQ UTG and then shove when somebody raises her. Still a very large gap between her VP and PFR stats. Then there's a lady with a VP of 86% who seems to do quite well out of limping in virtually every hand, then c-betting postflop.
So what tricks do you know to improve your leaderboard standings?
