    Play the SitnGos with real points instead of rollover points!

    Always someone waiting for a game there.

    Like right now. 50, 100 and 200 point games all waiting for more players to start.

    Doesn't help that the tournament time slots exclude most people on the west coast. Without the return of the 9pm that isn't going to change.

    I think SBR had it right when they did the five tourneys. With the 3 tourneys, they almost always fill up, but how many players are being shut out of the games? I agree with some of the other posters. At least bring back the 9pm tourney. Most of the players are around in the evening, and I think they would still fill up. I thought it was the opposite, Optional. I only can use real points for the Sit N Gos. If you mean the opposite, I agree. Let us use the rollover points for the Sit n Gos.

    i prefer the 3 tourney's are current payout structure vs the 5 tourney's and the previous payout structure.

    Keep the structure, Change the times. Current time slots cater to college kids & posters with no job or family.

    Though I suppose that's the majority of SBR so it'll be a tough sell to change it.

    I dont get this really. You have Midday, 4pm and 8pm local time now... but west coast people cant play unless a 6pm slot is added?

    A morning tourney to cater for the non-US time zone people would be a more useful addition I think.

    Sit & Go's were exciting when released. But.... just another fad now.

    We had 4 people last night around 12:30AM Eastern. Couldn't get a 5th one to participate in 25 minutes. 4 People waiting. It sucked. Make the Sit & Go's with 4 ONLY.

    Optional and I along with a few others are sitting at the SNG tables alot throughout the day. If it were free or maybe able to use rollover pts used for buy ins, people would swarm the tables

    The minute you see SBR_JenTilly chime in this thread... just delete the poker software altogether and head over to Zynga poker.

    I would be willing to pay a 10 point entry fee if they added the 8pm. Hell charge for all tournaments and I would still be fine with the 10 point entry fee for each tournament if we could have 5 tournaments or at least 4

    yeah I agree, need more tournys I get locked out of so many and the ones I am I sometimes cant make it cuz Im not home or its too late and something comes up the next day. I also think the sit n go's should give option to the players at the table to start when all players at the table agree to start. Seems like filling up a time slot isnt worth the wait. This way you dont need to limit how many plyaers join(max out when table is full) and whoever is there and wants to start can do so.

    lol


    there are two $5 dollar games but no 25 buy in game.
    I think 25 i the perfect middle between 10 and 50 buy ins
    of course if they allow roll over to be played in tourneys they will fill no matter what
    but for the time being, I think the 25 buy in should be considered

    Everyone suggesting allowing RO buyins to the sngs doesn't get the purpose of rollover. You boys understand that the payouts would have to be rolled over if they allowed that right? Pretty pointless IMO. How about you all sack up a little and risk the pennies like men.

    The flipside is if you lost RO on a SNG, the majority wouldn't care. Creating more SNG traffic, with less waiting to fill a table.

    +1. Playing $10 I don't take seriously and actually stopped playing them because of it. $50 is a bit much if I hit a bad streak. Not trying to lose 250 points in a session. Those points are reserved for Blackjack losing streaks. $25 is perfect for me. I'd take it serious and would play more without a doubt. But that's my comfort zone. So it's all relative.

    If that was the case the cash games would be running way more than they currently do. Who cares if you lose it's only RO.

    so 30 cents is boring to you but 1.50 gives you anxiety? You really need a .75 buy in to feel comfortable? I say the biggest problem with these SNGs, other than the fact any time I log in there's nobody waiting, is that there's too many choices. Make a 20 and a 200 and leave it at that then everyone's happy.

    Comparing apples to oranges, cash games are not SNG tourney's....Many may prefer SNG over the cash game.

    Why you are translating points into cold hard cash? It's about the point balance in your account. Has absolutely nothing to do with your real world conversion.
