Vote on SBR Poker Format changes

[SBR Ivy]

So I tried to curb the whining on poker tourneys being full by adding more slots, then you're not happy. Then you wanted to not have a tourney be full of no shows hours early, so I changed the registration to be two hours before. Then you were happy and nominated me, but then others said nooooo you can't change it now.

You guys change your minds more than me & you don't know what you want. So, go ahead and vote on format changes and majority will rule, if not, then be quiet and enjoy your free tourneys !

talk about whining

[actiondan]

Less whining, more nudes

[USCPHILLYGUY]

I love it. Ivy getting feisty. Marry me!

There is nothing in this world a group of people would agree on. That is why voting is so important to a democracy. Let the majority decide. Not the louder voices. If we can elect our President this way, I'm sure it's good enough to decide poker setup.

Thanks, Ivy!

keep tourneys at 40 and add one tournament at 10 AM for the non-North American people.

[Slanina]

It's early in voting but what I've been pushing for all along is more than double 2nd place in votes. I sure hope it holds as the votes come in.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

If you truly believe only 5% wanted a change, then you will win in a landslide. But I guarantee that will lose. I'm voting to add a tournament.

Slanina I'm not "running" for anything. I thinks it's absolutely ridiculous grown men complain about anything on a free role tourney. To each his own I guess

[no1here]

bring 10:00 am back

[SharpAngles]

OP whining about whiners, lol pretty f'kn rich.

Step 1a is getting someone who understands poker to run the show here. It's great you listened to the whiners and tried to make a positive change but it wasn't positive and you'll end up pissing off more players with a format change in the middle of a series!!! Anyone who understands poker, and more importantly poker players, would know that's a horrible idea.

Step 1b should be using our newly acquired poker guru from 1a to figure out a way to get the cash games going. What's the point of playing longer 50 man tourneys if we still can barely roll the points?

Ivy, it's only a handful of people making complaints and can't make up their mind. None more so than USCPhillygirl. This retard complains more than a high school girl and makes threads complaining about everything on here. It's painstakingly obvious this person is a nuisance and contributes nothing on here except to complain and make a moderators job harder.

I say you do whatever you want Ivy, and if they don't like it...well.

[SharpAngles]

Can we at least get a poll that makes sense? Wtf is the difference between first and last choice and what about someone who wants another 40 man tourney??? And you wonder why people "whine" around here.

Sharpie I ACCEPT your nomination!!!

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

I never play.

I still voted.

[milwaukee mike]

i'd say keep yisman out of the poker tournaments

he always loses and then gets mad about it

saves him some grief that way

[jjgold]

Unlimited entries

It's a no brainer

[SharpAngles]

I think the opposite is the solution. I would prefer to see the daily prize pool spread out over 6-8 tournaments throughout the day, 20 max entries (top 6 get paid), and quicker blinds. Let's get the daily tourney's to one hour or less. I am sure most people would prefer that. Up to 2 hours a day + rollover time for points is not realistic for most people.

Yeah that sounds good too. I think one thing that's clear by this thread is, Ivy can't keep everybody happy. Maybe we need a simple forum poll on this and to let the majority rule? How's that sound?

From the other thread...

Where is this option!?!?!?

[SharpAngles]

I vote option 7 for the record...

[SharpAngles]

I never play.

I still voted.

Another wtf?

Why is this in players talk?

A bunch of non poker playing brokediks get to call the poker shots around here now?

hi Richard Ramos. Willie 99 still wants the 100 u scammed from him that he put in your 5Dimes account

a fuking scam artist felon piece of shit calling me out. That's funny

[JoeyBagels]

The antagonism back and fourth between players and administration is obviously not helping things. The problem is that executive decisions are being made on a whim. There should be some mechanism by which administrators can take suggestions and poll opinions about poker from the playerbase. As it stands right now if a potential issue crops up for sbrpoker multiple threads and posts come about because there is no feedback. Then one day by happenstance one thread is viewed by an administrator and acted upon even if that thread and the opinion therein is not representative of the majority of the playerbase.

And not to nitpick but there are even problems with this poll. It should be three separate issues IMO:
1. Voting on whether to cap the tournaments at 40 or 50 players
2. Voting on whether to add another tournament to accommodate the overflow of players who cannot register for whatever reason (time constraints or tourneys being full)
3. Voting on when to start tournament registrations.

My suggestion is to cap the tournaments at 40 players like it was in the beginning. Then to add either a 10 AM est or 9 PM EST Tournament to accommodate the overflow of players. When the current promotion is over the administrator should revise the tournament structure to their vision of where SBR poker should be going (i.e. in line with promotions, opinions - whatever)

Right now the ship is rudderless.

Also, i see that the poll was updated. A new thread should really be posted. People have already voted on old information and it may not be representative of what they want. The poll should in the poker subforum too...

[Basement]

This poll is strange. There are 5 options for 1 vote or im reading it wrong.

Add 9pm.

Add 4th keep 40.

Add 4th keep 50.

Add 10pm.

Add 10am.



Versus 1 option for 1 vote.

Dont change anything


Adding 9pm is winning and that was my vote so im glad. still doesnt make sense. dilutes the vote of people who want a 4th because of so many options.

[SharpAngles]

Much like the current poker players championship series, this poll has been edited halfway through and is causing some confusion.

Might I suggest deleting this misguided thread and reopening a vote in a more appropriate forum? Like, I don't know, maybe one where the actual poker players would see it and vote, like the poker forum?

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Another wtf?

A bunch of non poker playing brokediks get to call the poker shots around here now?

I may not play poker but I am not a brokedik.

Oh wait...

[EmpireMaker]

Add a 9pm keep it at 40 players

[SharpAngles]

haha nothing personal Mo. Your post just made my point perfectly so I quoted you

[Grivas_Digeni]

10AM AND double or triple the buy in

[JoeyBagels]

I would have voted for this:

Keep 40 slots, add 4th tourney

But it was not an option at the time FWIW. Pretty sure I am not the only one either...

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

haha nothing personal Mo. Your post just made my point perfectly so I quoted you

No worries Angler.

Its never personal on the internet.

[bobbywaves]

Add a 9pm keep it at 40 players

This has always been the solution.

[Slanina]

Translation Update:

26 people want a 4th tournament.

12 people don't want any change.

2 people want a 50 person tournament.

[thetrinity]

4th tournament at 9pm seems to be most logical why would we want 50 and the same pay structure

i definitely liked registering in the morning before i left my house, 2 hours aint any good for me

[daneblazer]

Pretty easy decision here

[EmpireMaker]

add 9pm keep the number of entrants at 40 and open registration 8-12 hours before the tournament

[ArunSh]

I think adding one more tournament would curb all the whining wouldn't it. Enough spots and everything, stay at 40 entrants.
