The leaderboard is only updated once a day, all the data on there is from play up to midnight last night, you had played less than 25 then.

Thank you for your help !

The latest update is up to midnight last night. We'll get the next one out to you in the morning.

splashies

Pretty sure you need to add the £5 filter to your current leaderboard.

Very late and wrong update today.

seanallen

Yeah i'm pretty sure mine should be 43 games rather than 103.

splashies

Looks like it has been taken down and they've re-posted yesterday's table.

benc

Yeah they have, what do people think the cut off will be for the 16?

I reckon 66%.  I have just blown my last 14 games and only won 6 of em. I reckon I am down to about 60%. so probably out the top 16 now.  will wait a few days to see wat I need to do

QUICKFEET

Thumbs up for this promo

Was nice to appear on the lower reaches of the leader board with 52.46% but it's all gone haywire

I thought I was playing too passive against an aggressive opponent but everytime I called his big raises he had out drawn me. We kept rematching, he kept winning!

I'm probably on tilt now

Such is poker

unknown_username

Was at 62% at 50 games, that is clearly not enough so played last night and up to 64.29% still not sure this will be enough.

Sure players will play last couple of days in a flurry to see if they can make it, depends if some go on a heater  ... great challenge this  ...

I just feel this promo is going to be so hard for you guys to manage in terms of colluders - with each player playing 50 games its a large sample for you to go over, we've seen it done amazingly in a 6 man SNG...so imagine how easy it is in HU

Theres some really high scores coming from names ive never seen, or unprofitable suddenly racking up ridiculous win ratios.. call me synical but i hope all these guys on the leaderboard has every single game checked and their opponent to..

DOHHHHHHH

Don't think they'll need DTM to identify the cheat for them this time

HITMAN_RV

Played 19, won 12,  63.1%

Been playing anybody, Glitterbabe, Splashies, etc, Good Promo, Been Good catching up with some Old 'Rogues', lol

I guess i wont be on L-Board until i played a few more & keep % up !!


Good Luck All!!

Lol.

The stupid cheaters will always get caught.

It's the ones who collude to win 2,3 or 4 games to give them that tiny bit extra % that are almost impossible to catch.

It almost certainly has and will happen in this promo, but is totally unprovable.

On reflection, what appeared to be a great promo in theory, probably shouldnt return in the future.

DOHHHHHHH

^ I agree it's costing me a fortune !

*edit - 300 game sample will sort it !

Unfortunately this was always going to happen.

 

I am sure all games will be checked before the winners are announced.

 

Don’t fancy being in the fraud department checking all those games.

 

I guess the only way to stop it would have been to play at least 50 different opponents.

Not sure how feasible that would have been with the player pool in heads up so shallow.

Good luck to all still in the running after the checks have been done.

I assume sky have more options available to them then just looking at sharkscope. Like they should be able to look over hand histories and see if anything dodgy has happened there - like raising all in but a few chips and folding.
