    That is going to be one long ass tournament. What is the structure for the 6/25 tourney? How long is that going to take?

    Please don't make the structure the same as the other tournaments.
    I'm sure SBR wants a good player in the WSOP, not someone who just got lucky having to go all in because the blinds go up so quick.
    The longer the tournament, the better the player will be.

    I disagree. With 500 some people, how long you want the tournament to last? Who has 10 consecutive hours on a Saturday to sit on their ass playing online poker? Gotta get lucky either way.

    Also disagree like d2bets this can drag on forever if the structure is changed. I understand the importance of sending a good player, but I think good players have adjusted to the format. I know I have no chance in hell of winning, I don't want to spend 10 hours on a Saturday to confirm this.

    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

    It won't last 10 hours, with 10 minutes levels approximately 500-600 players, my guess is 3-4 hours long.

    I think a good structure would have the tourney last about 4 to 6 hours.

    If you can't play poker for 6 hours, how do you expect to have any chance at the WSOP? (9 days @ 12+ hours each)

    I think the prize justifies the time spent to win it. Besides, if you're that impatient, you won't last 4 hrs or more to worry about it.

    I agree wiht Scratch. If the person that earns SBR's seat at the WSOP think they have a chance, they'll have to be able to sustain 12+ hour sessions. Sitting in the comfort of your own home, watching games/tv, listening to music, eating/drinking, sitting if your favorite comfy chair should make this a piece of cake.

    It should last as long as a normal poker tournament should last. I have no problem with the current structure for winning some points or to qualify for a bigger tounament.
    This is for a seat in the main event! I really don't think SBR wants to have someone representing them in the WSOP that just got lucky in a 7 min blind turbo all in fest.
    Im sure they also want someone representing them with the attitude of " Who's got 10 hours to play poker... Gotta get lucky either way...ect..."
    The tournament should be at least 10 to 15 min blinds and 3K starting stack. It will not take 10 hours, maybe 3 or 4 at that structure.
    The average online poker tournament is 12 min blinds. The WSOP events are 60 min blinds.
    If you think your a good poker player there is no way you should be in favor of a quick structure.

    Unreal didn't know I was in haha weeee!

    SBR you guys should up the prizes for 2nd and onward. I mean the poor guy in 2nd only gets 1500 betpoints? Haha that would sting badly. Should be like 10K points + an iPad or something for bubbling the WSOP seat.

    Top 10 should get 5000 betpoints
    minimum. Hell I won 5000 for that Saturday final a few months back for finishing 6th and there was only 40 players.
    Step up the prizes SBR

    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....

    Could very well end up that the person that bubbles may end up getting the seat at the WSOP by default. The person that wins may end up too young to play, not able to go, be on Homeland Security's No-Fly List, still have warrants for their arrest in Nevada, etc., so the bubble boy may have to be ready to step up and represent.

    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?

    I always played 5 minute blinds on PS and thought it was almost "slow".

    Yet these supposed "good" players need a super slow structure to show their "skills"

    If you are good you adjust to any structure and find an edge.

    I'll just be interested to see if all of these suggestions are falling on deaf ears. SBR hasn't really adjusted any of their tournament speeds so far. It would be pretty laughable to play a turbo style tournament to get into one of the longest tourneys there is.

    12 minute blinds would be fine too but obviously the slower the better.

    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

    i agree in part, however if the best player gets deaal 99 and a dummy 10s and the flop comes 973 tourn 10, river 2 i llbet any money the hero goes out.
    Poker is a game where luck gets involved at a higher rate.
    I agree that the best players play more than the cards, but after the first 2 hours probably all the unluky ones and the weak players prety will be all gone, just leaving a good field of solid players.
    i only hope that the best of the bests makes the final table so we can have a good representative at the WSOP
