The "OPR" that I consistently refer to is actually "Officialpokerrankings.com" — a Web site that puts the Big Brother in poker.
The site monitors every single poker tournament played on several sites and compiles all sorts of helpful numbers about each player's game. It's pretty insane.
Anyway, the OPR ranking that I consistently mention comes from some formula the site uses to rank all the poker players online. So a poker ranking of 98.17 — my current ranking — means that I'm ranked ahead of 98.17 percent of the players the site is monitoring … whatever that means.
Normally, my goal is to move into the next percentage point. But once I hit the 98 mark, I decided to keep an eye on overall ranking. I was getting close to being in the top 10,000, and I wanted to get there.
Well, I'm there. Into the top 10,000 for the first time ever after the two cashes last night.
Top 10,000 doesn't seem like a whole lot to get excited about, but the site ranks everyone who has played a cash tournament on one of several sites over the past 120 days. More than 533,000 players are ranked in order, so being in the top 10,000 is pretty cool.
