      At least 6 including me, and missing bitemyusdoj . We are regulars that play for the love of the game, and should also be one of the regulars, I enjoy playing with you and for sure you will get a kick by participating ever night.
      BO, Bosco Miller TrpD Mpaschal beerdog 4ukforlife and me are regulars that start sometime after 6 pm and some games we have them open till pass midnight, no reason why you should be part with us.
      Free money from the rollovers is always available for good ring players like you.

          i just don't get why people play poker here to make money when they could just play on real poker sites. Maybe it's because the RNG here helps them?

            Sbr for me provides a stress free environment to experiment angles that provide information for future plays either live or online. Furthermore, it brings a bunch of good people with a commune interest that later has developed in strong friendship outside the poker table.

                I don't play cash games here much anymore, not even for rollover...have a bunch that are due to expire soon cause I've been busy elsewhere. Live poker fits into my schedule better these days.

                Most play at SBR because it's the only format where they can show a profit, with the huge overpaying structure of dailies and allowing minimal rollover....it makes casual players feel good for participating (the main goal I'm sure), and nits who would barely break even with rakeback feel like poker gods when they can fold their way to cashes and see their name on a leaderboard. For most people, trying to play anywhere else they'd be outplayed...the exceptions are actually mostly the guys who routinely play ring games here, and they're mostly doing it for the camaraderie.

                  good point Trip. I'd be inclined to play the tournies here as well because all you guys are pretty cool here on the forum, but my chat doesn't work in the poker client! Once in a while I should stop by though, the games are fun and basically 50/50 pre with ATC.

                      As bad as it is, you are right, the only option I m using is the totally rigged and colluded 5 dimes.

                          Yes, of course, but not with SBR sportcash. For us is 5 dimes or bust, international players have no other options, no pizza no amazon cards, just sport cash.

                                      Doesn't sound like it; he's just pointing out that he doesn't see much of a business reason for SBR poker to exist in its current generously-paying-out state. Ignition not being a sponsor, guys playing there would be no benefit for SBR.

                                        SBR always wanted to grow poker, but never planned or marketed it very well. Other than a few small spurts, poker has always felt to be a little half assed. That's not knocking the FREE promotions, but we've been running the same format for about 8 years and poster feedback has been somewhat ignored. Back when SBR poker first began in like 2010, there were several sites with flourishing poker rooms. Not the case anymore. Rudy is right, on the surface right now there's not much of a reason to keep it around from an advertiser standpoint. It could draw people to SBR and sign up to be pro especially if SBR went all in on poker. I enjoy it even though I usually have no chance in most contests due to volume. There were some all timer ring games running back in the day

                                            I have no doubt you're resting, sucking on the taxpayers teats...being retirded means it's not just your brain that sees little to no activity

                                            Yup...not much more to be said really, just have to enjoy what's here while it's here, and not get too caught up in giving feedback that's unwanted

                                              Yea SBR has a huge opportunity to become a major poker forum. They are the only poker forum that give away free money! Although you'll never take down 2+2 because all the pros post there too, you could easily get recreational players here

                                                  Having an opportunity to give away free money doesn't sound like a particularly good business opportunity, which is Rudy's point. There's stuff SBR could probably do to attract more casual and poker players, but it's pretty tough to make money when you can't take any directly without risking the US Feds taking notice and coming down on you.

                                                  If SBR did kick their poker up a notch and the benefit approached anything close to decent $/hour, you'd have a lot more non-casual poker players here competing a piece of it. The casual environment we have here works in part because it's closer to freeroll poker than cash games.

                                                        Correct...I simply prefer to rest in my home, so I don't get wet when it rains.

                                                          I bet 90% that show up to this dumbass conference are poker players...same with sbr bash

                                                          it is why the prizes go down YEARLY in poker

                                                          on the other hand, BTP prizes go up YEARLY

                                                          sbr should get rid of poker

                                                          Bingo.

                                                            Another thing we've established: I or anyone else here from the US or most other countries could 'rest' all day long like you do if we simply refused to work and started sucking on the government teat like you do. It's not the lack of ability to 'retire' to welfare like you that keeps us from doing it; it's pride, ambition, ethics, and some other stuff you don't seem to know the meaning of.

You've verified you're below poverty line and are willing to take subsidies for poor people like yourself, and it's all but certain you're on financial assistance as you seem unable to provide for yourself. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself; plenty of people need all the help they can get to make it in life, and you're clearly one of them. Your pride in being a drain on society, on the other hand, is contemptible
