when you think about it

Having both money games and chip games be combined to figure out who is the top player should be reconsidered. I know I have played in a good deal more games than others and have yet to win my first money game. I have won numerous times in the point builders and others but when it gets down to the ones that have money on them I am still a virgin. Now, I know I think it is a bad beat or someone else's luck that has snatched the win from me but actually it is my play. I have won free monthly membership dues but as I said not even a $20.00 freeroll. That is the reason I think there should be a money list and a non money list. I also think that should a player not make it so far into any tournament he should lose points. This would stop those with a 2-7 going all in and hoping lady luck is on their side. ItNickNVegas said so much the same thing when he said just go all in and try and build your stack. It does take as much effort to win a pot builder as a money game but it just seems to change when it is for cash verus chips. I also think that those who were in the beginning have been able to some extent build up their stats ssince the number of players weren't as great. We see that in the real world of the world Championship. I think it will take a monumentle effort and good fortune to see someone win back to back there. As I reread what I have written, I see that I have twisted this way and that and have even confused myself on what my point is, so my options are to delete it or just post it. Having taken the time I am hard pressed to just delete it, so for what it is worth have at it. I have played at numerous poker site and for myself I find SC to be the best. There are features that others have that would be great to have added to the site and in time possibly they will be. I do think we need more money tournaments and that there should be two leader boards.

(cont)Last 1/3 of cash tourney plays like point tournies. Interesting theory. Also, many are playing for cash on multi sites. So, be super aggressive on 3 sites, and odds are you'll hit 1, and that bcomes their main game. Of couse the other players must suffer their slow response time as all this is going on. They also disconnect a lot. But, when in Rome, etc,etc..

I find the points and badges games better than the cash games. People want to win those games, so they can play in the cash games. They respect raises, and few are river rats. In cash, you cannot raise them out. Their logic is, chip up in first 1/2 hour or go out and play elsewhere. The $/hour actually make this logic reasonable. Thus, no point in betting to get people out, just bet to the river and hope your hand holds or improves. Last 1/3 of cash tourney plays like point tournies. Intere
