Hopefully eberetta comes through...if not, it will still be entertaining watching you and stefan fold everything to each other :D

Pun is pretty weak...but maybe I just don't get it as well as you...

I'm sure everyone is with me in hoping that eberetta and bobbo make the 2 USA teams and Stefan makes team world...then we can schedule them all for the same tournaments (we'll convince canada to...

Appreciate you covering for me while I'm on vacation donk, keep it up for a few more days if you would and I'll be back to resume the apparently endless task of trying to show bobby what the rest of...

There's several good reasons why these systems aren't widely used to rate poker players...but let's not kid ourselves bobbo, you're extremly ill-equipped to understand any of the math or basic poker...

Good point Opti, something to be said for last year's World performances being less motivated by ease of making the team. Nothing you'll have to worry about though, you would have made it last year...

The previous structure (and to a lesser extent the upcoming one) reward mediocrity, by letting underperforming world players go into a brief, high-variance format on equal footing with dominant US...

Definitely better this way for the bulk of participants (US players), and at least provides a more balanced contest. The final tournament setup between the teams is too high-variance to be indicative...

Shorter and a bit more balanced, huge steps in the right direction SBR :an_clap:



If it was done this way last year, the cutoff for World team would have been 5330 points with 4 non-European...
