Poker league views
What is the point of the poker league. You don't play any league games the only people who have a chance of reaching the top are people with lots money, And can play 4 or 5 tables at the same time. No matter how many cash games i win or tournaments i win i will never get close to a top 450 spot. 30,000 - 40,000 points how many hands a day do you have to win to get that many points?

was amazaed to see my name on the list as i aint played cash or sngs for months and dont play too many tournies or cash in them lol
However league points are given for winning, so they reward skill even if you play on low stakes tables.
Bear in mind the league total accumulates over three months so the current totals are since the start of july, so you would only need to win a few single tables tournaments a night to be in the top 150.
hi what does loads of money mean. i play mostley m.t.t and dont do to bad and thats were i earn my points.
but i lose at cash its swings and rounderbouts.
you could play 4 m.t .t tables including the open for 35.00 is that out of your range.
wish you luck.

After reading the twitter stuff first this made me lol! Now why do you want him to start at 30nl dohh? Isn't that were you hang around?
hi dohhhhhh
in response to review
i do play 25p 50p cash every night as my bank roll will allow, but i do not win much i find its a bit like three
card blind brag with the people with the most money or the big bluffers wins. so at the moment i carry on playing 25p 50p or 50p 1.00 cash games.
are you also sejesting i should not play mtt games as much, i cant understand that i do well at that. EBBEDON
Dohhhh doesn't think mtt's are proper poker (chuckles). He believes that only cash games have skill and that cash players are far more skilled than mtt players (more chuckles).
I class myself as a tournament player and relax by playing a bit of cash omaha occassionally and it works for me. You are a formidable tournament player Ebberdon and so I would say stick to what you do best, enjoy your poker, and let the small stakes cash grinders grind away.
I look forward to our next encounter at the tournament tables.
ps. I made the league stars f/r this month and I only play 2 mtt's a day. Not what you'd call a high roller so anyone can do it.

if you got 100 cash grinders and 100 MTT players and put them in ANY format the cash players would come out on top.
but yh the top 5 to 10pc of MTT player will have an edge over cash players in an MTT format I think, as they should be more are with shoving/calling ranges when sub 15bb deep etc but bar that it would be no contest.
so many of the MTT players on Sky lack so much basic poker knowledge it really is embarrasing. IMO it is the weakest of the 3 disciplines on Sky.
EDIT when I qualified for Team Sky Poker, the selection process was 3 seperate tournies for MTT/cash/STT. I wanted to get on the team so bad that I sacrificed cash on this site to enter the MTT tournie with the chip lead. I did that because about 20 of the top 30 MTT players on the site are horrifically bad and back then it was the easiest route into Team Sky Poker.
Top uk online tournament players such as Moorman, paolo, sexygee, royal flush, are predominantly and historically mtt players and can and do turn their hand to high stakes cash occassionally. They choose to play mtts.
a far great amount of cash players can go onto MTTs and be profitable.
The skills may be different but ''more skilled'' is a misnomer.
Who are the more skilled runners - sprinters or middle distance or marathon - none of course they are all equally skilled in different disciplines.
