    I realise the chance may be small but what steps do I take to try to win it?

    Download SBR Poker http://www.sportsbookreview.com/poker/

    Then play one of the 3 daily free tourneys each weekday and hopefully make the top 50 to playoff for the seat

    The payout discrepancy from 1st versus 2nd-5th is so bad you still can get in even starting today.

    Yes but more than likely you'll win a kick in the junk on the bubble, higher blood pressure & less hair.

    Skills pay the bills. There aren't any 15th place ribbons in the SBR Poker room any more, seems to ruffle the feathers of players that can get close but not quite go all the way.

    .....I guess charities will have to make it without me, don't think they had a problem before, doubt they will have a problem after... Plus, dominos 5 dollar pick up special is easier to deal with then spending 2 hours winning a tourney, and 4 hours rolling over..

    question, how much skill is needed to win, when usually 1st places go on heaters... They don't lose

    Osnap

    SBR feeling frisky calling out a solid player.

    When the average stack at FT is under 10BB only so much skill can pay those bills player, whoever the hell you are.

    How about an update on that cheater/stiff/possible multiaccounting?/all around low life from Texas that a lot of us here don't appreciate seeing at the poker tables and forum in general? He gets a free pass to scam SBR because of ignorance? Not that I'd argue hes not an ignorant dead beat, but in that case he had to know he was ripping off SBR's rollover program.

    Less calling out valuable members, more protecting SBR and its poker players IMO

    You're misinformed. We get a 15th place ribbon for playing. It's called hand-for-hand. We all love it. Keep up the good work, sir.

    haven't been 15 places for the 2 years i've been here.....seems like the hand for hand could be updated in that time frame.

    Good luck getting one f'n cash here with every idiot runner runner'ing your 2 pair or calling off with the stupidest hands at the pushfest FT. Bigger minefield than playing 6000 real players in the ME

    Unless there's a 10k prize for every contest, don't see why SBR would keep a format the majority don't like. Easy to see attendance & motivation is way down in general.

    The change of format will at least keep your lucky ass competitive, unlike last year when I smoked you by 5k+.

    Fact is, I have more final tables than you. So it's just a matter of time.

    I'd like to see a format with monthly cash prizes for the top 3 and an end of year tourney for all those winners to crown the SBR poker champion of the year.

    cry waves, cry; given i've bubbled in sixth 3-4 of these dailies, and have 8 or 9 more final tables, many of which were in trnies you busted out in the teens and twenties in, i'd be crushing you by 3-4k more than i am now under the old format, you pathetic fuk...... and, u lying fck, you have nowhere near the final tables i have in this promo.............

    cry, bitch, cry!!!!!

    Once you can play on the mac without using third party software I will play poker again.

    IF SBR ever makes it available for the mac.

    LOL... thankyou. I did say I could help out with it when I first started but they wanted me to concentrate on the S&I forum and dealing with complaints ASAP.

    I have to say in hindsight I need to thank SBR from the bottom of my heart for saving me from the thankless Poker Mod job!!

    DS reads the poker threads too. He'd be better than me as he knows more about poker. But think he is too smart!

    1. Poker mod @ SBR basically consists of simple simon tabulations of leaderboards, occasional announcements and occasional public forum chiming in (some miscellaneous not-all-that-complicated other stuff). Oh yeah, and ignoring posters.
    IOW, it's an impotent position.
    Designed to be.

    No, what SBR actually needs is a true poker *manager*; someone w/ the power to implement real ideas to grow/improve poker here (only answering to 1 or 2 SBR bigwigs... period). Some changes are easy & obvious, and would increase poker activity immediately. The poker manager would actually have to know poker extremely well.

    2. Install a true poker manager here that knew what they were doing... well, that job would be so far from thankless it'd make your head spin.

    Dare I say that person(s) would become somewhat beloved round here?

    The hopeless romantic in me (don't laugh, it's in there!) thought maybe, just *maybe*... SBR would chime in here and say something along the lines of "oh, easy & obvious?... will increase poker activity, ring games too?... wow, nice... sounds great, start us off w/one" and then I'd rough out an outline of a "REWARDS PROGRAM" for playing SBR poker.

    Remember, a Rewards Program, properly implemented (site crunching *exact* numbers to plan off of) would benefit the site (SBR) more than the players.

    Maybe that's why other sites have them? Hmmmm... (just one idea, of course... many more to consider)

    But hey, the gal I was gonna marry split literally a few months before the wedding (true story) so, you know, fukk hopeless romanticism and the fukkin horse it rode in on!!!

    Like Seacrest... BiTe OUT

    Too much sense and logic in the last 2 posts. Not sure if SBR can comprehend.
