I looked at the leader boards and I probably have the most disparity between rating and wins, I'm way down, absolutely surrounded by blue on the wins list. Not sure what that says about my play, that I'm good at getting top half scores but suck at winning probably

I think it says that your game is solid.

People with low rating that have a relative high amount of wins are those that take weird lines and either get a win or a bottom.

If you have a good rating, but a low amount of wins, is because you follow a good line, but are often beaten by someone who follows that same line, but took a better/luckier decision somewhere down the line.

I do feel like I come second/have a very good chance of winning come last rack etc at least once/twice a week.

I reckon I've run the absolute nut low in DCs for at least a year now.

1607!!! I think that's the highest rating TH10 ever reached? Noting for prosperity before the inevitable soul-crushing downswing.

Hmm, so apparently "timer" is no longer a safe function name after 2 years of being perfectly fine. Aaaaanyway, timed mode should work now.

I've tried it on a few browsers, but can a couple people give it a shot to make sure it's working?

New target for me: 50 DC wins in 2013. Currently on 15.

Also get 10 wins showing on the "Winners" tab. Ran so hot recently that this will probably be my best ever shot. Still seems unlikely though.

running hot at rating and cold at wins in the DC atm. Pretty much wish it was the other way around.

If your rating is improving that means your game is improving (or others' are getting worse), and if you keep going wins will follow. There is a very strong correlation between rating and wins. There's also a lot of variance in DC wins, way more than in rating, so I wouldn't be fussed about a cold streak.

But also, you've got 2 wins in the last 30 days, which is slightly above your average - I wouldn't call that a cold streak.

I know how you feel bro. I love staying orange obviously but some wins wouldn't hurt.

unless you're me, in which case you can never win a DC ever no matter how close to the nuts you think you got.

if you are referring to poker, you are wrong. I played plo cashgames but luckboxed a tourney. I quit poker again fwiw, happily cashing the 2K€ I made.

Come live in Spain and play on pokerstars.es

Good weather, excellent food, endless beaches, hot chicks and bad pokerplayers.

What more do you want

It was a metaphor. The DCs are tournaments, Timed is cash.

50-50, either you win, or you don't.

i make it that you win if there are either zero {1,2}s, or one {1,2}, or no 2s and 2 1s, and I win if there is one 2 and one or more 1s, or 2 twos. You might pick a little more equity for the outlandish rolls, but i make you 54% for those cases. Straight race. gg.
