Message: [QUOTE="Luvepoker, post: 6983368, member: 307971"] I've always found rankings interesting. Not because I had an ego issue what would just like to know what others think about my play. There are lots of great players on cardschat. But trying to rank the players would not be very simple or easy. I was once ranked the top player in the world on one poker site. It was a training site that allowed you to play at the same time against other students. I knew there were issues with my game when I signed on and much to my surprise I was ranked #1 when I qualified. The problem is I didn't think I was that good of a player not even close so when I talked to one of the coaches and asked him about what kind of player he thought I was and about my ranking you told me I was a told me I was rock and was easy to beat. The problem with some ranking systems is how they rank players. We used to have a USA and a world ranking based on points for each year the problem is you got more points the more you play and you're getting points where have you finished. Some of the top money finishers each year weren't even in the top 15 or 20 players on the point stands what does that tell you about rankings they are flawed and cannot be considered perfect. Let's be honest let's pick the top ten players in the world we could end up with 100 different players if we had 100 people pick their top 10. Agree with you 100%. They're not all professional players and the current results don't necessarily tell you the truth either. You point out the replay players which is fair if you're looking at games against just CC players, the problem is a lot of players can't play them either. Based on the time and schedule that there is now I can only play if lucky two to three times per week and to be honest I can't even play that most times. You said some people are uninformed about current performances but if somebody doesn't have the volume or ability to play enough you may not realize how good of a player they are. I am also certain some of the better players don't wanna be known. I'm not sure if it only increases ego for all players.. As I said above I would find it interesting to see what others think about my play not necessarily a ranking although I admit it would be intriguing and interesting. Your comment about if you consider yourself such a good player go look for the money and good tournaments I understand what you meant by that but that's not always a feasibility either. I would love to play bigger tournaments for bigger money the problem is there are real regulated sites where I live. I can play unregulated sites but can I get my money off do I wanna even deposit on these sites? There are also players like me I love playing this damn game. That's why my name is what it is. The thing is I play for the enjoyment of the game and the thrill of winning a tournament. I could win $10 or $10,000 and be just as happy winning the tournament. It's about the thrill of victory that I play for. [/QUOTE]
