Chilipoker

Welcome to the new September Challenge, a cash table contest where you will qualify by just playing 10,000 raked hands!! We are giving away more than $7,000 spread over two leaderboards!

We will divide the leaderboards according to leaderboards the NL50-NL100 Emerald Leaderboard and the NL200 and more Ruby Leaderboard. Each Leaderboard's ranking will be based on the Big Bets. After playing a minimum of 10,000 raked hands your BB will be taken into consideration

Why the BB?
Because this number will tell us how many stakes you have won or lost for every 100 hands played. You can also increase your BB by playing more and more! We will give you an extra 0.7 bonus on your calculation of the BB for each 10,000 raked hands played - up to a maximum of 3.5 bonus!!! For example your BB/100 is 2.4 and you have played 25000 raked hands. Your BB/100 will be 3.1 after the bonus.

What are Big Bets?
The Big Bets are, without a shadow of a doubt, the most interesting statistic on Chilipoker MyStats tool. Taken over a number of sufficiently important hands this number varies between -10 and 10. It indicates how many stakes you have won or lost for every 100 hands, without any relation to the type of table you are playing at. This number has the same accuracy whether you are at NL50 or at NL1000 table. As you probably already know Chilipoker has made available exclusively for all its players My Chilipoker MyStats tool, the tool that allows you to follow your winnings, your game statistics as well as your BB.

What are Big Bets?
The prizes for each leaderboard are distributed as follows:

Emerald Leaderboard: NL50-NL100
