You are lucky to win a prize here as in the over 20 years I have been a member, I have not. But I am not griping about it either. There was a time when the site had no contests.
Yes, Ted, but no one can hold a candle to you in achieving the Top Score of the Day on regular video poker, with 1109 Top Scores and still counting. For perspective, I have been a member almost as long as Ted and I have only 40 top scores, meaning Ted has more than 27 times the number that I have.

Webman, who is second ... or if you would rather not say, can you at least tell us what the number is for the member who has the 2nd most Top Scores?

1,109 Tedlark

It's worth noting that we only added the Achievements 11 years ago, so play before that is not reflected. :)

Those at the top of the list are clearly passionate about this achievement and spread their play across multiple games.

Wow, I had no idea that anyone could be competitive with Ted ... let alone that many! That is some fervent dedication. I tip my hat to those on that list and ask the top 5 to accept my humble apology for overlooking their accomplishments.

Webman, thanks for the enlightenment.

Webman mentioned to me before that there were a few members ahead of me. The thing to also note is that a couple of the games I play here do not get enough players over the course of the day, 20 is needed, playing them so if a person gets the high score and only 19 members played the game for the day - no daily high score chit for you.

I'm glad that you already knew and were not as shocked as me. I was in awe of your accomplishment and figured that 2nd place would have been less than half of what you had. So, that's a giant miscalculation on my part!

Miscalculations are not your strong suit. That's why God created erasers on the 4th day.

So, since only 6 people played Peek and Play today, I won't get credit if my high score holds up. I did go back and notice that I was only a couple hundred coins away from high score for the month. I lost about a thousand coins and then I got lucky enough to get my own 4-card royal dealt, but I was "skillful" enough to have one of the royal cards in the "peek" position.
