June Poker Leaderboard Contest

**Triple_D_Bet** · 06-01-13, 12:09 PM

Example Situation:

Players 1-4 enter for 50 points, players 5-7 enter for 250 points, players 8-10 enter for 500 points. 3 pools are generated: a 500 point pool for the 50 point level (10 players), a 1200 additional point pool for the 250 point level (6 players), and a 750 additional point pool for 500 point level (3 players)

Players finish in following order:

5,2,3,8,6,4,10,7,1,9

50 point level pays Players 5,2,3 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd (9+ entries)
250 point level pays Players 5, 8 for 1st and 2nd (5+ entries)
500 point level pays 8 for 1st (<5 entries)

6% of total (135 points) goes to whichever player posts most updates from dailies. Player 5 wins the freeplay from me.

If any player fails to post their screenshot of the cashier in the specified timeframe, they will be treated as not placing for the purposes of prizes...very important to do this so we can track with 100% certainty!!

I'm in for 500!

**playersonly69** · 06-01-13, 12:24 PM

I will be in for 100 I believe. I seriously doubt that I will be able to get 500 points by Monday.

Damn come on Gummo! You have 8000 points and you won last month, at least step it up and play for 500. I am working on borrowing 500 points to play in that level

**playersonly69** · 06-01-13, 02:49 PM

If we get at least 3 of us, sure, I'm in.

**VBPro7** · 06-01-13, 10:40 PM

I want in, I havent played any poker all year here. I'll be in for 500. Is this the screenshot you need?

Looks good. Just send Triple the 500 in the first post.

**4uk4life** · 06-01-13, 11:34 PM

I'm in for 100

**playersonly69** · 06-02-13, 01:17 AM

I am in for 500!

Easy money for you guys since I almost never win anymore

**GUMMO77** · 06-02-13, 01:36 AM

So 3 people in for the 500.

**4uk4life** · 06-02-13, 02:56 AM

Does this mean I am playing against myself unless others play for 100?

**slikec** · 06-02-13, 05:11 AM

Have fun

When i will have to play every day to qualify for main event again i will come back taking your points

Now i already have over 6k poker points to play + 5k points to spend and no good capper to follow baseball to extract real money from those points

You seem like a fun guy to not hang out with.

Don't worry, we'll handle the hard stuff.. By your half a$$ effort comments it is clear that you are a dedicated member of SBR and for that we'll make sure you're the first to know when SBR starts handing out free cars for finishing at the top of a series.

**VBPro7** · 06-02-13, 09:48 AM

Ok, I don't think i'm completely understanding the vague rules here. SO score is based solely on points acquired from placing in daily tournaments?? How is a tie breaker decided? Most 1st?...2nd?...and so on?

I also think the 6% rule for people posting winners is kinda lame, seems like everyone posts their own standings anyway after each tourny, plus we have badges that confirm this. I was looking through May and didn't really see anyone posting any screenshots of winners anyway. Do we really want/need 5 screenshots everyday of each tournament? I think Gummo did it once in May, does that mean he won the 6% last month for posting a screenshot once?? This 6% should be thrown back into the pool, and whoever thought of this idea should be shot.

I want in for 500 but it seems like no one wants any action here at sbr and this is a dying contest. 3 people just isn't gonna cut it for my poker contest itch. I'd rather make a 25pt(500pts/20 tournys) last longer bet with someone everyday. If there are at least 9 people including me i will go in for the majority pool which seems like it might be around 100pts.

**playersonly69** · 06-02-13, 11:33 AM

Well last month we didn't pay out the 6% to anyone. I will tell you what, no one gets the 6% this month and I will post the standings every few days. With less than 9 players, we shouldn't need it everyday. VBPRO, you don't have to send all 500 if you don't want too, but we are pretty easy money. Last longers are real tough since we all play different tournaments everyday. Generally, I only play the last tournament of the day, but that could change at times.

Let me know if you have any other questions

4uklife, EVERYONE is in for 100 points. The rest of us will also be in for an additional 400 point pot from each entry.

**BeerDog99** · 06-02-13, 11:58 AM

I will be away for another week or so this month but I will play/donate just in case I get lucky or more likely to 4uk's pizza fund!

**bobbywaves** · 06-02-13, 01:47 PM

**playersonly69** · 06-02-13, 02:55 PM

bobbywaves,
can you tell us what your total is so that we can be sure?

Actually we are supposed to use the starting total and ending total to determine the winner. We didn't do it last month, but I guess that it didn't matter. But my ending total on the standings was lower than what I had, but it wouldn't have made a difference anyway

Vague rules? have you perchance read the rules and example at the top of the thread? They seem pretty clear to me

Only points from daily tourney finishes counts...doesn't matter what you rollover, the points awarded from the tourney are what count. The verbage got left off in last months, but all tiebreakers are decided by the SBR RNG (one all-in preflop hand at the cash tables).

For the last month, because we had so few participants, we just posted our own standings. The previous months had more people in the contest, and as a result posting daily tourney results was more effective and accurate. Even what gummo did last month was helpful and gave us a good rough idea of standings...a contest like this without periodic standing updates is like betting a game and not watching it, not as fun! (we'll forgive the suggestion to shoot me since you don't seem to have paid attention to the previous contests).

There are currently 3 of us in for 500 points with winner taking all (minus the 6% of course)...if nearly quadrupling up isn't enough action for you, I don't know what to tell ya. You're always welcome to go through the time and effort to find a last longer bet every day, but this might be a bit easier. As for it being a dying contest, I'd say it's an accurate reflection of the poker population in general, with changes in one reflected in the other.

As always, you're free to start your own contest with better rules to give people a choice

Nope...see the 2nd post for an example. Every different level is it's own separate tier. If you're the only one in for 100 with others in for 500 or 50 points, than you'll be participating in the 50 and 100 point divisions, but will be unable to win the excess points from the 500 point entrants. The example should clear this up a bit...

**yisman** · 06-02-13, 06:02 PM

don't want to impose on you, mr. moneybags VBPro obviously has a lot of extra points. If he wants me to be in the contest so badly, he should pony up.

I gave 6% to gummo last month, fairly moot point since he won anyways, lol. Whoever keeps track of the most standings is always welcome to donate their 6% back to the pool or in anyway they choose.

Your ending total was lower because I stopped posting my results, when I couldn't finish in the top 3. It's not necessary to post individual results, so I won't be doing it anymore. My total is in post #23. If you can't read it, then refer here: http://www.sbrforum.com/poker/

Yes it's vague. It doesnt really state how the score is tallied, other than 'Daily tournaments will be counted towards a players final score & screenshots of each tourny after it's finished will be used to informally calculate scores.' Well how do you calculate scores!? Unless i missed it no where do i see anything stating your score is based SOLELY on points acquired from placing in daily tournaments. Just seems like adding this makes it very clear where your score is coming from.

Also wanted to add that your rules for tiebreakers is lame. After a long month of competition you want to decide a tie on a coinflip?? This may never occur but if it does i think whoever has more 1st place finishes should decide, then 2nd and so on. Whoever came up with the poker hand coinflip idea needs to be shot.

I think you are on to something about me coming up with a contest with my own rules. I have a feeling my rules would kickass. None of this 6% trim of the pot or coinflips. Skill should always reign.

*Edit
Also i dont understand why the first initial screenshot? Obviously if we win a tourny on Sat or Sunday these numbers will be off. Am i missing something here? How is that screenshot useful?

Ok, let me try to help you.

The m-f tournaments are what we use to keep totals. Weekend tournaments don't count. Because the badges last longer for daily tournaments, we have been just coming into the series thread, after we cash, stating what place we took and for what tournament. The person adding up the points can double check the badges.

The total you see on your 2013 Tourney Stats is just for m-f. SBR doesn't add the weekend tournament totals to that. That's why we use a before, and in some cases, the after screenshot.
