Nice job Brandon Smith... if that is your real name.

._.

Lost TT v 88 for the chip lead late in the $4k rebuy tonight. Ended up 18th.

Took 1st in the $11 PLO. My 9th title overall on Global. Man, wasn't that tourney a $1k GTD a month ago? It was $500 GTD now?

Well done on the win, and you are correct, it seems that Global is adjusting the GTDs of the tournaments based on their popularity. The glaring exception being the Eagle series where every tourney seemed to be beating, and sometimes crushing the GTD numbers and adjustments didn't come the other way. Hopefully that is taken into account and adjusted in the Jan series.

Nice one mate!

If you haven't already don't forget to take part in our Hometown Heroes promotion!

Unfortunately alabama doesn't have casinos, so I can't do the big dollar promotions.

Random thought: it would be pretty incredible to have last longers for MTTs. As far as I know, no site has ever offered last longers. I guess when you open it up to more than a heads up it's rife for collusion, but I see no problem with hu last longers ...

they could set up some type of escrow, in which both players deposit the last longer amount, to be paid upon completion, seems easy enough

I am not against the idea, and I agree, I can't say I have heard of a site implementing something like that. Could be a cool feature with Global, and could increase the prize pool for players that want to play for bigger stakes.

damn, I just found out that sharkscope tracks SnG/MTTs on global

that's a blast from the past, lol. I haven't seen any mention of this. Thought about keeping it to myself as well, but it seems right to give this information.

Got 21%ROI and like 97% of games are SnGs where's my shark? Just got the little spinning star thing

I will go check that out, thanks for the heads up. Although I complied my list form the recent Eagle Series leader board

Oh my god I'm going to pathologically waste many many hours searching every player in the Global universe. I used to do just that with PTR for cash games.

Hey is 239% a good ROI for MTTs?

I stand corrected regarding my previous posts relating to your stated results at the time, and I also owe you an apology. Very impressive man, keep it up gl at the tables!

That's cool! Must be a newer thing. Has me for 83 tourney played when my actual number is 222.

Yeah I noticed that as well, their history doesn't seem to go back all the way.

Thank you, that's a very classy move . Sorry I went on tilt that day

Sharkscope started tracking Global around Sept. 20th according to their website.

How does Sharkscope know how many times you bought rebuys and add-ons?

I must be missing something, where do you see that ability? Or is it just you know when you did it and they reflect it correctly?

I don't know how they can calculate P/L and ROI without that information.

Okay, now I understand what you are asking. You are saying their numbers are off unless they can account for all of those things. Yeah that would seem important in order to make the correct ROI calculations for sure.

I will look into this when I get home. Signed up for a sub and put it to good use today (3-bet half my stack with AQ in the $110 and the called 98o and flopped a pair... took 2nd of 81 in $1K GTD Weekend though).

I'm surprised how many sick crushers are playing there.

Here are my last 8 results:

(Actual result/Sharkscope)

-$6.30 / -$5.49

-$10.50 / -$10.30

-$110 / -$110

+$234 / +$235

+$239 / +$249

-$40.50 / -$13.54 (wtfffff)

-$63 / -$33

+$24.15 / +$27.35

So... quite a bit of inaccuracy actually. I can't even make sense of it really, but all the differences benefited my results. The craziest one is the PLO I did six rebuys and the add on and I was credited for... 2.6 buy ins?

Overall though, I think it gives enough useful information to work with.

I have been doing some playing with SharkScope also. It's kinda cool lol.

Anyways, in the FAQ of Sharkscope I think they answer that...

Q: How are rebuy expenses calculated?

A: Most sites do not display how many rebuys each player bought during a tournament therefore by default we have to estimate the rebuy expenses and assign the average rebuy expenses for that tournament to each player. In the long term this will provide reasonably accurate results, however if want to display your results without any rebuy expenses, using a custom number of rebuys per tournament or simply exclude rebuy tournaments altogether then you can do so using the advanced search options. Note that the SharkScope Desktop provides a feature for uploading rebuy and add-on information for Pokerstars tournaments that get accurately incorporated into your statistics.

----------------

One thing that I think is interesting is this piece:

"In the long term this will provide reasonably accurate results"

That assumes that each player is just as likely to rebuy, over a sample of thousands of tournaments. That just not true, as some people may give themselves a stop-loss on how many rebuys they want to fire, and some people may literally never rebuy, while some people will be prepared to fire as many rebuys as needed. So that will skew the results for a particular player, over time, given their rebuy tendencies.

+1

I guess it's something to keep in mind when looking at results then. The super crushers are crushers no matter how you view it.. but the slight winners or b/e players are probably actually losing... and the solid losers could very well be losing massive amounts.

I don't get my ROI either. I have an average profit of $4.04/tournament and an average stake of $17.33/tournament with $352 total profit but I have a crazy ROI of 125%. I can't make sense of it. I saw some other ROIs that were obviously bloated and I looked through the tournament history trying to find like a $500 score in a freeroll or something and I didn't see it.

My actually profit/tournament is actually pretty close at $4.17 (going back to pre-Sharkscope), but my ROI is a much more reasonable 22%.
