Could we lower the max points allowed at a 500 table? Not sure what it is right now, but I do know there will typically be 30+ kdicers with 2k or greater and not a single 2k game happening! In fact, why not just force people to play their point level? Greater than 2k... must play 2k! Greater than 500... must play 500!

at 2:40 PM, Saturday February 7, 2009 EST If there are people who are scared about the points, or if there are times when there aren't enough people to fill a higher point game, you could make a couple "for fun" tables that don't have any points doled out that anyone could play at.

at 3:51 PM, Saturday February 7, 2009 EST To try to get people to play higher tables is why I publish the guts-per-game (GPG) statistic. It is an estimate of the average buy-in per game by comparing a player's PPG (less the 10 points average gain per game) with what the PPG would be, based on his percentage stats, if he played only at the lowest level table.
Here are the top 100 arranged by gutsiness as of Feb 9: GPG Player 4042 potato27 3754 aarrowgant 1763 Leek Step 1508 Kehoe 1260 MadHat_Sam 1044 irishrugby 819 _Towelie_ 815 timmmmmmmaaayy 705 snoopdog 554 idnera 524 Thraxle 481 shadolin 466 dasfury 434 Orlafede 388 masterDD 363 WanderingBuddha 360 StudiousGangster 322 El Destructor 318 Vestbanebarn 314 minibiatch 305 Mortikina 298 OldElvis 297 rigor mortis 278 Schotte29 269 CuteKittens 268 Loobee 260 mrRo 260 mr Kreuzfeld 255 aer 255 Dnes 252 MsCat 251 kakku man 248 peter luftig 233 TheONLYprophet 226 Pat Whalen 220 Simmo3k 218 MadWilly 216 Ceaper 216 ACMilanRulesAll 214 The Werewolf 213 thepooptruck 213 oilking 206 markobg 201 2512321 195 fcuku 190 fletch85 190 Gdott 188 ma1achai 184 Truckis 179 Elf Master 2000? 177 k-dizzle 177 rugbyjoe 173 kolof 172 jethr0 172 AMO 164 Flying Dutchman1 163 _PersyN_ 163 Dancerr 163 Donka 161 existential 159 DJCrowther 155 xxSacredxx 152 rerrr 151 ZIGIBOOM 146 sweezle 143 fishnetangel 141 cnkcnk 141 ghj luigi 140 MartinC 138 nonzdanonz 133 GronamOx 133 Henrik 128 hatty 117 Legface Backshot 115 Arabesh 104 WILenin 101 joero14 100 kevin143 100 beyazguvercinus 96 REMCO_1 89 magnushc 88 popdij 81 2nasty 77 Embair 76 luis miguel 71 Firinneach 65 hoochie 64 Dovydazzzz 63 fiero600 62 Boreas 54 Serendipity 50 unike 50 beast4521 50 Extasy 50 Hermann Toothroo 50 Mitynerp 50 JFK78 50 tallpube 50 Fatman_x 50 Gabble |

at 7:20 AM, Monday February 9, 2009 EST but seriously, the 2ks are on their way to that old crony feel again. Forcing people to play their level will keep a good mix of players at all tables.

I prefer the 500's. |

at 11:02 AM, Tuesday February 10, 2009 EST I have no idea why you are so worried about that there are not enough games at the higher tables.
It's only the 10th of the month. I predict that there will be dozens of 2ks and even 5ks towards the end of the month. Remember: Ryan added the +70 bunus again, which will cause enormous points inflation this month. At the same time, Ryan kept the "new" table limits instead of switching back to 2,5k and 10k. This month we will see more 5ks then ever before. |
