Global Poker Index: Raymer, Clements & Clark Join the List
Another week in the books means it is time for the new Global Poker Index rankings. Since being introduced by Federated Sports & Gaming (FS+G) a few weeks ago, the GPI attempts to answer the question: “Who are the best live tournament poker players in the world today?” Each week the GPI releases a list of the top 300 tournament poker players in the world. Here's a look at the movers and shakers for the week ending Aug. 2, 2011.
Here's a look at this week's GPI top ten. For a look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website.
The Top 10 as of August 1, 2011

Anyone else still trying to work out the point of this? Winning poker tournaments takes both luck and skill, no matter how many times you watch Rounders or listen to someone like Annie Duke go on about skill no one wins a poker tournament without being behind and getting lucky. No doubt that players on this list are very good but to give them a ranking for a game that requires luck is bizarre, a ranking like this once a player's career is finished would make more sense. And note how I used the word game and not sport, I love poker but it is in no way a sport.
