Gpokr should have a way to reward good play, instead of rewarding playing like a fool until hitting big time.

Its very unfair, that total FAILURE, like losing all the chips gets reward like this.

Look at the top 4 for this month.
1st - WINNER ROBOT -$22,055,276 - 110 Refills;
2nd - jjllightning321 - $14,349,980 -95 Refills;
3rd - Raul Gongalez - $12,716,694 - 3 Refills;
4th - billyjack69 - $8,809,616 - 167 Refills;

Sure, WINNER ROBOT has 22Million, but he was broke 110 times??? on the other hand Raul has only 3, which tells me he played more skillfully.

I know that limit the refills is bad, so here's an idea.

See how the new F1 for 2009 rules are? the points are just there to untie between the guy who win the same amount of races.

so make categories like,
0-10 refills 1st category
11-25 2nd
26-50 3rd
51-100 4th
101 and bigger.. 5th

make the CATEGORIES into DIVISIONS
than the one with more points within the 1st category would be the 1st overall, than the 2nd.. until the guy with less points of the 1st category. and then would come the 2nd categories.. 3rd. and so on.

This would really promote good play, as ppl would fear losing all the chips (just like in real life, one fears losing all his money, that's what makes for real poker being so different than playmoney poker).
In case they did lose the chips 11 times, they would play in a... 2nd division, sort of speak.

This brings no problems, except for one, that a guy that only played like 10 hands and wouldn't refill, would score much higher than a guy with 22million and 110 refills, i dont think that's really a problem, because everybody would play better. And you could still play all the poker you wanted, you just couldn't reach the 1st division, cause u played recklessly. But this has 3 possible solutions, if you think its a problem.

1)make tables of 5/10, where $1500, would be 150BB. Since the act of refill would have more relevance, starting with only 30BB on the lowest tables, doesn't seem right. This way, ppl wouldnt have an excuse for being broke so much.

2) if that doesnt work (i think it would), then increase the categories to 0-25 refills... and so on.

3) if that doesn't work either

instead of making divisions, make the points on the
1st category worth 5x as much
2nd 4x as much
3rd 3x
4th 2x
5th, 1x

I think this would make gpokr more fair and exciting since everyone would be trying to play better.

Support this idea.
