Top 10 i believe... Top 3 for sure

At the begging i thought that too, but i see player names from people that were far bellow me. (My rank was 16th)

Everybody has a certain chance of getting a table named after them -- the better your rank, the better the chance.

There are 50 tables total named after the top 50. The top 5 get the 5 1000/2000 blind tables.
Place 5-15 get the 10 250/500 tables. Place 15-30 get the 15 100/200 tables. Place 30-50 get the 20 25/50 tables.

So in other words your table is probably hidden right now.

actually I was wrong, forgot about the sit n go tables. This is what its like for ring tables:
3 1000/2000 tables to place 1-3
5 250/500 tables to place 4-8
8 100/200 tables to place 9-16
10 25/50 tables to place 17-26


So you have the last 100/200 table. 7 of those tables would need to be running for it to show.

Its not the best way to name the tables... I know.

So practically is more possible to be hit by a meteorite than to see my name on a table....
Thx for the answer though!

Actually even Ryan has it wrong. The tables are named from last months medalists but he has the numbers wrong. For example the 100/200 tables are from approx the 50-70 range. Anyone can start a new table: Just insert the name into your address bar as follows: http://www.gpokr.com/#PlayerName
and go there. I think that anyone that was in the top 1000 last month can open a (25/50) table with their name. This comes in esp. handy if all the 100/200 tables are getting full or just zzzzzzzz'd out and you want to start a new one. Just pick a player from last months medalists in the range around the existing 100/200 tables. Easy, Peasy, Japanesey.

This whole post is redundant.
