    SBR not giving contest updates as well as ignoring any good suggestions by posters is driving people away. Also the prizes are peanuts compared to previous contests.

    I can't play poker.

    I have negative points.

    So me making a poker thread is pretty much not going to happen.

    With weather this nice it is tough to stay indoors long enough to get in anything on the laptop, even an SBR poker game.

    bodog for me is awesome, yes the swings suck

    the hardest part for me was to get to 1k....

    literally, i would have ~800 lost 220 in an hour or two, and grind hard for +350....or so....and have a profit of 130 or so....

    i wouldnt consider anything under .25/.50 if u wanna make money....

    if you play the .05, the .10.....etc.........youll be going broke soon

    What kind of sense does that make So if he has a $500 bankroll he'll bust out faster playing .05/.10 than playing 200NL?

    no, use your head.

    small stakes people dont care about $5 all in, "oh i have a gut shot, ill call an all in for $3.85", youd be suprised how many donks play .5/1 and 1/2.........

    what stakes do you play? what site?

    Multi table between 50nl 100nl on Bovada. The way the statement was phrased, it looked like someone with the same bankroll would go broke faster playing a lower limit than a higher one. I don't believe the villain calling off all-in's with gut shots and draws equates to the hero going broke faster.

    Damn...When I first signed up to be Pro about a year, and a half ago, Pizza's were only a mere 220pts I believe. Now it's almost at 300.

    along with the price of everything else! couple that with a 3 month commitment to grind nightly during the summer and you have an anti-motivator...
    I wish SBR would consider some weekly or b-weelly contests, no giant prize or anything, just a smaller structure.

    Pizza used to be like 153 points for a 1 topping large. It was also called in and delivered to you. Things have changed alot since.

    I think SnGs would spruce things up a bit. I think the poster above me would wet himself with excitement as well.

    Steve I hate scotch. Cant stand the stuff. Beer man here. And of course pizzzzzzzzzaaaaa.

    I'm more than willing to hold you with the possibility of a reach around.

    PM if this works for you.

    Looks like 33 played the 3pm, 30 played the 7pm...probably in the low 20's in the morning. Remember when there were tournaments of 48 or so and every one of them filled up? SBR poker attendance at an all-time low.

    Looks like other people are tired of getting screwed on the regular also. Coupled with the fact that the price for items goes up about every 2 weeks.
