Tournament ranking lists are silly, but cool to oggle over nonetheless. Their criteria seems to be weird sometimes, but either way, Gobbo deserves to be up there (and ranked even higher). [/ QUOTE ] Nah, the criteria seems to be fairly consistent/standard. Whoever does the most self-promoting usually gets on the list. Unless, of course, there are enough fanboys promoting for you so there is no need for self-promotion. They use a tool called the fanboymeter to gauge how high certain players should be ranked. Fairly scientific if you ask me. Congrats though gobbo, you should be a bit higher considering i haven't heard of a good amt of these ppl toward the bottom of the list. |

so.. does anyone not think that p5 rankings are a joke? [/ QUOTE ] Yo. But it's what he wanted, so grats gobbo I guess. EDIT: Again, congrats Gobbo, there's no doubt that it's well deserved, and here's to more jaw-dropping success in the future. That being said, if I people start posting bi-weekly "rank gobbo higher!"/"gobbo broke the top 60!" type threads, I will find you people, tie you to a chair, track down your mothers, and do illegal, unspeakable, evil things to them while you watch. Grats again!! |

Also, don't take the rankings too seriously as a gauge of skill or whatever. The rankings are meant to be a reflection of recent (maybe last year or so, with much more emphasis on the last 2-3 months) performance in 11r+ and 100f+ tournaments on the major sites (Dise, UB, Stars, Party, with a little attention paid to FTP and Bodog). I actually think they do a pretty good job following the action, although everything could always be improved. I don't think they say anywhere that the rankings denote the best players, as it's clear that a good portion of the list would be flat-out wrong if they were trying to rank overall poker skill. |

I lurk from time-to-time in the forums there, but then a strategy post comes along and I see how many of the "top ranked" players have no grasp of basic tournament/poker strategy, etc. Pretty sad...

[/ QUOTE ] meh, i disagree. i think that, for the most part, the top ranked players on there are actually very talented tournament players -- its just their "minions" that are idiots. |
