Make it 3pts for PROs and 6pts for non-PROs and we should be good to go

Maybe double or triple that to maybe 15-25 points? Players who are anywhere near good enough to last two hours at a WSOP event would gladly pay the price too if there was a reasonable prize pool upgrade, either daily or final prize. Anyone who isn't completely broke should, really. If prizes are really good, it's not unthinkable for SBR to actually make some real cash since player will want to play the dailys and may even spend money to purchase betpoints for buy-ins to keep up with the leaderboard.

Seriously, what happens to SBR Poker if dailys still pay 600 for the first and there are multiple WSOP side event seats on the line, but buy in is up to 12 or 24 points every time?

Poker for pros is not free. We pay 3,000 points per year membership. So we need to play in 500 dailies per year just to break even which is impossible when there is only 1 tourney allowed per day.

Life isn't free. You need to eat from the day you are born. What's your point?

Less people qualifying would be good, 50 seemed good before then as a result the structure could be slowed down. I understand why you guys went 100 people though as with 50 it's tough for people who can't play almost everyday to qualify. I prefer a cash prize for 1st as opposed to a seat but whatever works.

Regardless, it's a lot you guys offer on the house so thanks for all.

Put some skin in the game on the "Regular Season title":

* JakePeavy won it. Throw the kid a $1000 bone.

**thetrinity** · 01-17-16, 09:22 AM

Get rid of world cup

Wsop is fine

Less in final or staggered starting stacks based off leaderboard

**daneblazer** · 01-17-16, 10:17 AM

I'd put together a committee to get ideas together. There are ways to drive the poker product here without adding more prizes and free rolls. Everyone would like $25,000 prize contests all the time, but that's not practical for the site. You have to see the business side of it

I like this idea, there are quite a few sharp minds here in our poker community.

Good job on bringing back the Saturday High Rollers yesterday but where is the Sunday Rebuy? That is, imo, far and away the best tourney, and I think me and others would love to have it back!

**thetrinity** · 01-17-16, 03:32 PM

i like the committee idea, give us the amount you are willing to give out and let the poker minds figure the best way to handle it

**Brady_24** · 01-17-16, 04:15 PM

10am would be nice...

**AUSTINRUSSELL** · 01-17-16, 04:39 PM

OMAHA all the time.

Let's just distribute 'the amount' among the committee members based on how much weight they think their opinion carries in 'the community'.
