1st = 100
2nd = 50 3rd = 25 100/175 = 57.1% of points on offer. 50/175 = 28.6% " 25/175 = 14.3% " NOT INCLUDING DOM. -SO WHY THE FUCK WOULD U PLAY FOR 2ND.3RD. IF YOU HAVE A 50% CHANCE AT FIRST, GO FOR IT, AND PLAY THE ODDS. - RISK/REWARD RATIO. 4 3rds = 1 1st, if you have a 25% chance at FIRST, GO FOR IT. LASTLY, DONT SETTLE FOR 2ND, IN A 3 WAY FIGHT. 2nd does not equal /halfway/ between 1st and 3rd. DOM IS THERE FOR A REASON, be aggressive!! and stop flagging! |

at 2:23 PM, Sunday May 3, 2009 EDT He is right though. The most annoying vflagging occurs because ppl don't get that 1st is so much better.

at 3:55 PM, Sunday May 3, 2009 EDT vflaging is useful on the 500's though. This math becomes partly defunked after the 100's. Politics and much more come into play at that point.

Yep, because everyone on those higher tables are motherfucking cowards. |

at 4:15 AM, Monday May 4, 2009 EDT wrong, the math is not that simple. since you will end up in a situation where you will get your PPG, and then the first step of getting a higher PPG is either decreasing your % of 5th-7th, or to increase your % of 1st/2nd.
both stratigies will give you higher PPG, and if you are really good (see me, sam, das monte) you can do both. but it is by far way easier to avoid 5th-7th than to get more 1sts. |

kreuz says: "...if you are really good (see me, sam, das monte)..." sam das monte = ~1m pts., average career placement = 2nd kreuz = ~250k pts., career placement = 80th such a noob. :P |

at 6:11 AM, Monday May 4, 2009 EDT Mr Kreuz, shit ur an idiot,
PPG = sum of all points/games played. - your highest trophey is 18th.. LOL, im talking about top 4 places, which 1st>2nd>3rd>4th --< BUT THE PROPORTIONS OF CHANGE ARE NOT EQUAL. 3 players left, 33% chance at 1st/2nd/3rd, you should always play for 1st. as over 'a million' games you will earn more points. as 0.33*(1st) + 0.33*(2nd) + 0.33*(3rd) is greater than 1*(2nd) MR KREUZ - 156 PPG IN APRIL, LOL - UR SHIT |
