| "I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream. Poker is good for you. It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect, heals the spirit, and - when played well, nourishes the wallet." ~Lou Krieger |
| Anthony Holden:
"Poker may be a branch of psychological warfare, an art form or indeed a way of life – but it is also merely a game, in which money is simply the means of keeping score." |

| How the Ranking System Works
Your ranking is determined by your finishing position, relative to how many players were in the game. If you went out in 5th place in a game that had 10 players, you earned about the 50th percentile. If you went out in 5th place in a game of 100 players, you earned about the 80th percentile. Your finishing percentiles are averaged, and compared to everyone else. In order to qualify for a ranking you must have played at least five games since the start of the ranking period. After 5 weeks of inactivity, the ranking is removed. Rankings will be reset every 3 months. The ranking system is not affected by Ring Games or monthly tournaments. |
