Poker Stars, SNG Leaderboard-
There was the threat of a Side bet on this, but, none have surfaced.
Anyone hit the top 100 at any of the levels? (I have seen ryanhall's #'s at the 199-300 level. Top 10 in both low and high orbit).
Anyone else have any stories to tell? After 2 weeks, any difference in the games you would play re: > pts?

From there, there is a link to "SNG Leaderboard" and your own SNG Points.
I ended up 6th in high orbit 100+ (whooppee?) for $300 and a ticket into that tournament.
how does this make the high stakes games crappy?
Never mind...found it. Consider me edited.
I chose the $10 level as that seems to be the highest range where Omaha hi lo PL ones start in a reasonable time. Last week I completed 20 of the 10+1 with 12 being NL and 8 being Omaha.
I placed in the money 15 of 20 times though I did only have 2 outright wins. I did 19 of the 9 person variety and tried a 27 person one for my last one as I needed points to make the top 30 (did not cash in it).
Overall was up about $100, 50% ROI, and got around 385 points and did not even come close to the top 30 :O
Kind of similar pattern this week so far, 9 cashes in 14 and still way off the pace.
I have been stunned at the poor level of play. Ace rag preflop and top pair any kicker seems to be the immortal nuts for many players. Play was more passive then I expected as well.
I may try for a 100 block next week, but I would just consider this promotion as a nice potential bonus for regular sit and go players if they run insanely hot.
some random point totals (from the leaderboard):
1st = 597 points
10th = 535 points
50th = 459
100th = 429
average points per game:
1st = 29.85
10th = 26.75
50th = 22.95
100th = 21.45
number of wins (i.e. 1st place finishes) required (if playing only 9-person sngs) (low orbit is out of 20 games):
1st = 13.3 (out of the points 6.7 times)
10th = 11.9 (out of the points (8.1 times)
50th = 10.2 (out of the points 9.8 times)
100th = 9.5 (out of the points 10.5 times)
number of wins required (if playing only 18-person sngs):
1st = 9.8 (out of the points 10.2 times)
10th = 8.8 (out of the points (11.2 times)
50th = 7.5 (out of the points (12.5 times)
100th = 7.0 (out of the points (13 times)
number of wins required (if playing half 9-person, half 18-person sngs):
1st = 6.6 (of 9-person) 4.9 (of 18-person) (out of the points 8.5 times)
10th = 5.9 (of 9-person) 4.4 (of 18-person) (out of the points 9.7 times)
50th = 5.1 (of 9-person) 3.8 (of 18-person) (out of the points 11.1 times)
100th = 4.8 (of 9-person) 3.5 (of 18-person) (out of the points 11.7 times)
the most last place in the points finishes possible (if playing only 9-person sngs) (on average):
1st = 10 thirds (with 10 firsts)
10th = 12 thirds (with 8 firsts)
50th = 15 thirds (with 5 firsts)
100th = 16 thirds (with 4 firsts)
the most last place in the points finishes possible (if playing only 18-person sngs) (on average):
1st = 13 fifths (with 7 firsts)
10th = 15 fifths (with 5 firsts)
50th = 16 fifths (with 4 firsts)
100th = 17 fifths (with 3 firsts)
the most last place in the points finishes possible (if playing half 9-person, half 18-person sngs):
yeah, i was considering doing the math for this, but i gave up since it was going to be slightly a pain in the ass.
in any case, it seems that looking at the numbers you're probably looking at around 7-10 (8-11) first place finishes on average (out of 20 games) in order to place in the top ten, not to mention at least around 3-5 other points finishes. therefore, out of 20 games, you're pretty much needing to be in the points 10-15 (11-16) times or so.

Only if it was that easy
477 points...looks like I'm ranking 7th at the moment. Hopefully the points hold!
Jeez I had to run good...
First: 6
Second: 5
Third: 4

How'd you finish?
Trying for it again this week. Moved up levels though, playing the $11, 9-man regulars. We'll see how I fare.
i also may move up to 11 buy in and give it a try but will see what happens, not going for it this week maybe next week.
mostly play 50 cent 1 dollar up to 2 4 dollar 5 card draw cash right now.
After 13 games this week, in Venus, I am sitting just over 300 points (similar to above). Not sure how many wins I've had but I have obv. been running pretty hot. With 7 games to go I could crack the top 100, just going to continue playing solid luckboxy poker and see what happens. Would be a nice brag to crack the top 100/40/10....
stp
Been there done that, although it was the very first week of the promo
Ditto. LOL
I completely forgot about the SNG Leaderboard since the DoN's came out. Taking a break from the DoN's (got rocked in the past week) and trying for these again.
Also realized that to get into the top 100/40/10 in the low-orbit you HAVE to run extremely good at the 9-mans, but not as good if you grind out 100 for the high-orbit.
It's almost better playing the 27-man SNG's to get into the top for the low-oribt leaderboard.
