Let me to explain:

A good player start to play 100 games, and after three month, puff ! score is reset. Stop.

It's double hard to get first 10 positions, because:

In the mean time, "tricky" player do:
1) register a player, play ten games, if good strike, ok, try to play another ten games, if not, simply restart ...

2) point 1 is not enough for "tricky" player, because he usually is not so good, so he needs a "donkey partner"

give a check to Buzinaldo:
23 games: first 14 with "Mirtz_Pop", "Mirtz_Pop" play only 19 games ... obviously with Buzinaldo

ok, this is already discussed, but this is free poker, the ranking is the purpose to play a good table, and if not, go always allin and spend some time to play random.

For anyone asking this question, I strongly suggest you browse through the forums. There have been MANY threads just like this one pointing out the issues with the current ranking system.

Here's the bottom line.

1. The developers of this game know about the issues.

2. The developers are looking into how to resolve the issues to make it more fair to the serious players here.

3. There has been a recent turnover in the developer staff. Changes will come, but we are in a period of time where new developers are coming up to speed.

In the meantime... enjoy the game. If it helps, don't look at the rank position. Instead, look at the total number of games and the percentage of top-level placements within that total. (A player who has played over 100 games and places 1st, 2nd or 3rd in over 60% of those games is generally going to be a good player.)

Good comment, Grokly.
Marcel wrote it again and again, there`ll come some modifications at the current ranking system to make it more fair. We should not forget, that poker-heroes.com lost two important persons. They concentrate more to system stability and performance.
Players, stay cool
