Amongst all the on line poker sites PokerStars is truly a shining star and as such they invite players to prove their skills in their various leader board competitions.
Many on line poker sites run leaderboards, but few run them as attractively as PokerStars do. The on line poker site lives up to its reputation in the highest echelons of on line poker experiences, and that is clear through their multi-table tournament leader boards. In order to qualify for the Multi-Table Tournament leader boards all you need to do is play holdem. Everyone who finishes in the top 15% of a MTT will receive Tournament Leader Board points; the more points you earn the higher up the leader board you climb. The number of Tournament Leader Board Points you earn will be calculated on your position, the tournament buy-in, and the number of entries.
Where the PokerStars leaderboards varies from other on line poker sites however is the number of leaderboards they offer their members and how they work. There are weekly leaderboards, monthly leader boards and yearly leader boards, as opposed to in many on line poker sites where there is only one time period for their leaderboard. Not only is there a duration to fit everyone, but the leaderboard is designed to work in the best way possible for you. For example in the weekly leaderboard it is only your 10 best results that are counted, in the monthly leaderboard your 20 best results that are counted and the yearly leaderboard it’s the 100 best results that count. The prizes for the various leaderboards are also very generous. If you play holdem in the weekly leaderboard you are looking at an opportunity to play against a member of Team PokerStars in a heads up challenge worth $1,000. The prize pool for the monthly leaderboard is $30,000 which is shared between the top 200 players with the top prize of $5,000. The prize pool for the yearly leaderboard for 2012 is still to be announced.
