Never, to be honest. Check out the top TLB finishers in playerstalker.

I've played 34 MTTs played since April 5th, while over the same period of time bigslick has played in 100, gank has played in 337, stealurmoney has played in 356, caniwin12 has played in 343, BCinNY has played in 317, etc.

To be high on the TLB you have to whore your ass off in tons of little tournaments, and I really never play anything under $100 buyin. A lot of the guys on there don't even make much money at all, they just play so many tournaments that they crank out the TLB left and right. Pretty interesting to see it there in the software.

I still have over 6k in TLB points on the year, even though most of these guys play 10x the number of tournaments I play in, and the top ones are at like 2.5x the number of TLB points I have. But really, I'm never going to play in enough MTTs to contend for TLB leader in a week, or year even.

I have a much better shot at taking down a big Sunday tournament, just need some work on taking on gigantic fields. And yeah, I value a $100k prize a bit above a $1k freeroll with Tom McEvoy. :-)

But anyway, yeah, its cool to see a ranking site that looks past the number of tournaments and looks more at success and winnings. Not that it means much, but its nice to get some acknowledgement after the past few months I've had.

Hey congrants michael and thanks for the good words!

When we first decided to create the website, getting a more accurate tournament leader board was one of our main goals. PokerStars has a great system for giving out TLB points, but a poor system of ranking players by it. It allows them to circulate the players who get their picture in the lobby, but ignores the players who, like you, don't play in every tournament. We are also going to have a SitnGo leader board using much the same system, but we don't feel that we have enough of them recorded yet to get an accurate leader board.

If anyone has any questions or comments you can always email us at
support@playerstalker.com

Hahaha, kind of ironic with the "player stalker" name that they show up that soon after I make a comment about them. :-)

Even asked me to give them a quote for their website.

But its all cool, just found it humorous.
