In, I don't get how the biggest stack bit works, so w/e you have a big stack you just post it and whoever has the biggest compared to table wins those points yea?

[jappie007]

If i'm correct.
Lets say your playing 9 handed.
Your stack is 20K, 2nd stack is 10K, 3rd stack is 10K. Then you score 50%.

yep, although it's the biggest compared to the sum of 2nd and 3rd biggest stacks at the table

100% in that case

20K / (10K + 10K) * 100

So scores above 100% are possible. For example, say you have 35,000, 2nd at the table has 16,000, and 3rd at the table has 15,000. Your score would be (35/31 * 100) = 112.9%

I am going to objectify the Big Bluff part, to avoid any later disputes on the 26th Nov.

Part 3 Scoring Rules

Step 1 - BB Based Score

Work out the effective Bluff in Big Blinds (the biggest street only)

Step 2 - Tourney Life Bonus

Add 5 to your score if your tourney life was on the line (levels 15 and below)
Add 8 to your score if your tourney life was on the line (levels 16 and above)

Step 3 - Bluff Style/Type Bonuses (multipliers)

Triple Barrel Semi-Bluff (ie turned into busted bluff draw) = x1.3
Triple Barrel Air = x2
Double Air Float (followed by steal) = x1.8
Turn raise (non semi-bluff) = x1.2
River raise (no showdown value) = x1.4
4-bet pre (w/weak hands obv) = x1.5
5-bet+ pre (w/weak hands obv) = x2

Only 1 multiplier permitted (most valuable one if more than one)
Non listed bluff types will receive no multiplier


I will have a look through the hands posted so far, soonish or later, and post their scores as examples/confirmation of the process.

[Venice]

Nightrains one as an example (Post no.23)

25.56 BB effective
+8 (tourney life bonus)
x1.4 river raise bonus

= a score of 46.98

[Venice]

ouch's one as an example (post no.25):

22.89
+0
x1.3 (trip barrel semi bluff)

= a score of 29.76

I'm posting for biggest stack at the table. Not sure how many times we can post HH as in the next hands (and previous) the percentage is always similar. I mean five consecutive hands would make a player score in the five places of the leaderboard.
