The Global Poker Index (GPI) is a rating system that ranks the relative performance of poker players around the world. The GPI was first introduced in 2006 and has been updated annually.
The latest edition of the GPI was released in February 2018. .
The GPI is based on several factors, including total earnings, cash game winning percentage, tournament winnings, and online tournament participation. The GPI is designed to help players evaluate their own poker performance and to help them compare their skills against those of other players around the world.
The GPI is not a measure of player skill exclusively; it also takes into account player luck. However, the GPI does provide a more accurate picture of player performance than other commonly used rating systems, such as the World Poker Tour Player of the Year Award or the WSOP Player of the Year Award.
The GPI has been used by professional poker players and amateur players alike to improve their game. In fact, many top poker players have publicly stated their belief that the GPI is one of the most important rating systems available.
