    Going to take a lot of luck and skill. At a bare minimum we need more starting chips and a longer structure.

    I know people Say it's free and quit complaining etc. I understand that, but I'm a pro, support the site, and we put a lot of time into these things for one shot with 2000 chips and a crapshoot
    Payout structure is a little top-heavy, but not by that much really...it only seems drastic compared to the participation awards given out in the dailies. More chips is definitely a good idea for 5k top prize, but the payout structure is pretty good I think, much more in line with normal poker

    A 6:1 ($800-900 for second) difference for 1st and 2nd is not remotely the norm for any tournaments ever. The worst I've seen is 2.5:1. I won't even mention the drop offs for the other places.


    I respectfully disagree ;-)

    Very generous SBR so TY... but as others have mentioned, the final tourney really needs a better structure. Winner should win playing poker, not bingo... just sayin'. Last final was pretty ridiculous with fold/push flipping for stacks with close to half the field left out of the 100. That's not poker.

    Anyway... thanks for the promo and the opportunities SBR provides. Appreciated.

    I kind of prefer it to be a shorter time to qualify. The month break between series was good.

    The days of 50 player championships are over it appears.

    $2,500 is a pretty good deal for non US residents, as it's only worth $1,785.71 in pizza for US residents.

    Only time in my life that i will be in top 5 and no list. Way to break an old man's heart. When you get old you live for the trivial things. Being on the top of the list after the first week of btp, brook landers and poker war. By they way thanks sbr. You make an old man's life better.

    At 3 cents per sbr point(amazon card value), that would be 166,666 betpoints for $5000. Could the winner elect to take that instead of 5k in btc?
