Yesterday i won 3. place and 100 points,but i cant see my name in that list...

[pouroupoupou]

Lou updates the list every week so be patient

[Gruntworker]

Yup, Lou's been updating regularly so nothing to worry about.

[EmpireMaker]

If they run 6 man tables, at least for the first hour or even the whole thing, with the same structure it would probably be OK or perhaps add 2 minutes to the blind levels for this big tourney.

[JACK MATZ]

Please make the structure as "slow" as possible. If you use the normal SBR structure (which qualifies as a turbo basically), it will be almost pure luck after the first hour and done by 2-2.5 hours, which means the top 200-300 will be determined solely by who wins coin flips.

With a more normal big tournament blind structure (20 min levels, smaller increments), this should last about 6 hours. If people don't want a real tournament, they shouldn't enter. Just to make the money in WSOP, you have to play 20+ hours of poker. To win, its more like 50 hours. Does SBR really want someone who is unwilling to play 6 hours representing them in a 20+ hour long event?

Thank you!
At least some people understand.

finally... Got first place today!!!

[JACK MATZ]

The chances of someone winning this Tourney to get a seat and represent SBR
in the WSOP are so slim, if you believe that he can beat 500 + Players, and some realy
good ones to boot, by being just shit lucky, you are reaching. In all my years of playing
I have never seen a Player being that LUCKY, so he or she must have played with a lot
of skill and some luck along the way to get to that Point, playing with just pure LUCK
only last for a while and than fades. I am not to worried, I am convinced that one of the
top or better Players will thte Seat to go and represent SBR in Vegas

Your missing the point.
It's very simple. The faster the structure the better the chances are for the non skilled luck player.
Like you said " Playing with pure luck only last for a while and then fades " ...Well 7 min blinds = that while

Watching one of the tournaments last night... 10 people at the final table and every player had less than 10 big blinds... Basicly every player has one move... All in.

Again, i have no problem playing turbo's and adjusting to that style of play. Turbo's or fast structures just equal a very high variance.

From a business standpoint i would think that SBR would want a more skilled player representing them in the main event. With a longer blind structure and bigger starting stacks the chances of that happening are much better.

Of course nothing is guaranteed... Chris Moneymaker, Jamie Gold, ect...

GL people

[Monitor-Tan]

Maybe just only for the qualifiers to the main tournament is 7 min blinds. Maybe the final tourney for the seat will have the 15 min blinds

[robmpink]

Did Taylors gramma qualify yet?

[HeeeHAWWWW]

I qualified?

Was I really drunk and forgot that?

[jeffksu]

i qualified today by default...got 5th in the June 1st tourney at 5pm pacific..the top 4 have already qualified so that puts me in...damn i've been trying everyday ...and finally w/no help from me i'm in...was all against those rules when they first came out now i'm all for them...

[danso]

Sbr was too generous when they decided to basically let 500+ people qualify for this tourney.

[secretstash]

finally won one.. but didnt get my badge yet.. hopefully soon

-stash

[benjamincarm]

Came in 6th today...don't think it was enough though.

Maybe my thread that bitched about the qualifiers got some attention and they "flipped the switch" in my favor

Paying your debts would help you get qualified. Until then I think SBR is going to be against that one.

[benjamincarm]

finally won one.. but didnt get my badge yet.. hopefully soon

-stash

Don't think there is one for a single day.

[LUCKYCHUCK]

wow i qualified! i guess thats why they call me lucky

[SBR Lou]

The list has been updated with June 1st finishers.

[Cabo]

I wonder how many spots have been won, but forfeited due to non-pro sign ups?

[SBR_John]

Whats up with the Ryder Cup in June?

First of all yes this will be a long tournament if you are in it until the end. We will not rush the blinds. We think it will be in the 5 hour range. Of course the winner gets a magic ticket and could win millions besides his free trip to Vegas. Whoever wins this will certainly be a battle tested poker warrior. Would love to see him win a few million.

Onto the Ryder Cup
The SBR Ryder Cup will be played the first week of July. Lou will post the current standings today. The current standings will be like this;

Name: BeerDog99
Points won in WSOP qualifiers: 2310
Region: USA

The top 8 point winners in the WSOP qualifiers will be chosen plus the highest post count non qualifier for a total of 9.

Hey John... Like the format, although I'm pretty sure I will need a stellar June to have any shot.

On A Side Note... When will Sit & Goes be back? We miss them dearly.

[illmatick]

Finally took first for this month.

Check it out

Bubble boy (or girl) should get a T-shirt:
I bubbled the seat to WSOP Maint Event

[oiler]

Jack is totally correct on this one, SBR should make the blind levels at a minimum of 10 minutes and even that is considered a turbo in some venues. If someone cant spend a few hours for a chance to win a prize that is in the 10 to 15 thousand range, then thats pretty sad, and they'll be no such instant gratification in the WSOP....

think that would be the best case scenario of all that were mentioned

[clynnm17]

I've been trying to play every day and still couldn't make it. that's sad.

keep trying you will get it

[clynnm17]

gotta go PRO?? where do i do that at???

[clynnm17]

i got it

[clynnm17]

damn but i already have money in 5dimes and bodog... another good one???

[hhsilver]

Did Taylors gramma qualify yet?

no , but someone who hadn't yet qualified finished 41st today to qualify. And a game yesterday with 33 entries had only 2 new qualifiers because all the others in the game had already done so.

[southmadejd]

I still can't wait for the tournament.....this is going to be great.

[DennisGreen]

Bubble boy (or girl) should get a T-shirt:

[Boner_18]

Good work y'all. I hope a name brand poster wins this thing and goes to vegas to represent.

[Roadtrip635]
