POKER IS BACK !! SBR Spring Poker Event 2018

[mpaschal34]

I think this is what SBR needs to get rid of

People who are here solely for poker freebies. They never bet on sports, never post about anything other than an occasional idea for more or better poker promos. They tell their other poker only friends about the place, and next thing you know you have what we have now: The poker tourneys filled with players you never see or hear from elsewhere on the forum.

SBR has to dial back the poker because it's a loss leader that generates nothing for the site. Get rid of these leeches through mandatory sportsbook deposits or posting minimums and SBR can reduce the overall expense of poker without reducing the benefit for valuable members.

I don’t know why you would say that about Sin. He deposits in SBR sponsored books just the same as sports bettors to play poker. So he brings them business just the same as the regular sports bettor.

[SharpAngles]

I miss Bite.

I would love to know how that guy is doing.

Me too gummers. Not a coincidence that SBR poker and the poker forum went downhill without him. I regret not getting his contact info off the board, if anyone has that PM me.

[dlowilly]

Agree, poker only leeches like Sinmiedo is a problem Guys like him only congest the tables & contribute nothing.

Congrats on winning your annual leaderboard bet by kicking the Canucks ass str8 up, you didn’t even need the pt spread.

[stevek173]

Sinner's a great poker player and always a pleasure to lose points to at the table.

Lot of angry guys here. Reminds me of live poker lol. I could maybe get behind these promos even with the cut points if they keep the current daily structure when they aren't running and if the length before the "big one" is reasonable, about 2 months max.

we playing at rivers?

The software that SBR uses has got to be around 15 years old. Looks like the same layout to the old Party Poker that I remember playing on.

[bonzaii]

Just go look at the names of some of the people playing in these tournaments. Some of them I've never seen on here. Shit some of them might not have ever even made a post on here.

[Mannyfan]

I learn from Kat. Try to avoid all the new names until u can't at the final.

Sinmiedo is a great guy and upstanding member of the community here.

Anyone badmouthing him is a clown...that is all, good day.

Co-signed. I’ve gone through the thread and can confirm the guy bad mouthing sin is 100% certified clown show

The only clown show I see is from a guy whose pro membership is -EV, cashing out a measly 495 pts.

I see Spider/Yisman wiped you out.

Oh no, my membership is minus ev according to the guy who used his to buy failing BTC.


Smooth investment you’ve got there, only down 50% since you bought in

JokePeavy21: "Sinmiedo is a great guy and an upstanding member of the community here"

Sinmiedo: "I'm just here for the poker"



Who are you calling a clown? You've been clowning it up for the last month. I don't know whether it's the hard line I took on your pathological lying ginger boyfriend or my signature driving you nuts, whatever.

It isn't bad mouthing someone to state the facts. He is here for poker. 95% or more of his scarce posting has to do with poker. He has told other poker onlys about this place which I'm sure is the case with others too and now the poker community on here is at least 50% poker only leeches.

You can say "well can you blame them for taking what SBR is giving?" but now we have very real consequences. SBR can't keep giving away to all these poker onlys so you have the pullback we see recently.

[SharpAngles]

Hey dlo, most guys here would say anyone recommending SBR to newbies would be an upstanding member. Who have you gotten to sign up and go pro ie helping grow the community? It hilarious to me you defend flipping and align yourself with the biggest leech on this site mr small b boobywaves but choose to call out other well liked posters for not contributing enough.

[BeerDog99]

Dlowilly, you are aware that we "leeches" from non-US countries have to pay real $$ to be part of the community and cannot cash out any real $$?

US posters are the only ones that can renew via points and also cash out real $$.

So just because he and I only play poker, we are leeches?

LOL.

People keep bringing up well liked. That's got nothing to do with it. Poker onlys just take from SBR. They don't bet on sports, they post rarely or never, but they take a piece of the pie. Inviting other poker onlys to join doesn't grow the community in a positive way. They are basically SBR's illegals and immigrants from *hithole countries. I don't know about aligning with bobbywaves but if he says something truthful or congratulates me I'll be polite back. I'm not saying Sinmiedo or anyone else are bad people I'm pointing out the effect these poker onlys inevitably have on the benefits for the rest of us.

USA or not doesn't have anything to do with what I'm talking about. I paid real money too via charity. You can do that too right? Depositing at a sportsbook and then playing poker there isn't the same thing. This is a sports betting site not a poker site.

Beerdog you are a cool guy and I've seen you posting about other things and you kick ass in BTP. This isn't a personal attack on Sinmiedo, and he isn't even a perfect example of what I'm talking about, but the mentality of his post is. There are many poker onlys on here who you never hear from that do nothing but enter every poker tourney they can. That is no more sustainable than bringing in unskilled, uneducated immigrants who immediately hop on govt. assistance.

Whole points system is welfare. They should remove it.

Your membership is -EV due to your pathetic cash out number, has nothing to do with my intelligent bitcoin investment.

I bought in with 2k when bitcoin was in the 7k range. Due to your lack of intelligence, you don't know bitcoin is currently in the 12k range. So my free 2k has turned into a free 3k in a few months.

Meanwhile you're a broke dikk who can't generate any pts to cash out a pizza, let alone bitcoin.

[SharpAngles]

Lol now small b brags about buying BTC at 7k Using his precious betpoints no less

Seriously kid, just stop.

I bought my first 5 coins at $45 each and between Seals with Clubs and Betcoin plus the explosion in price did pretty well. Just finished liquidating my BTC over the past few months. I’ll let you do the calculations on MY free money since you’re the EV expert small b you fuggin clown shoe

Burp?

[SharpAngles]

Congrats

I’ll be the first to tell you I was crazy lucky and had no idea it would happen. I only found out about BTC because Micon started his SWC pokerroom and I wanted to play. Was nervous as hell when I realized how volatile it was but got extremely lucky and rode a hell of a wave. I don’t try to pretend that I’m some genius like small b, just feel the need to put him in his place once in a while because the kid is so fukin aggrivating.

[bobbywaves]

I bought my first 5 coins at $45

Not only are you a lying sack of shit, it has nothing to do with your lack of generating skills on this site.

[tb1984]

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.(Albert Einstein)

SBR, so how much have you invested in poker promos in order to generate traffic? How long have you done this? How is this promo different from previous ones?(According to posts in this thread, it seems to be worse than previous ones).

[bobbywaves]

Sinmiedo is a great guy and upstanding member of the community here.

You're entitled to your opinion, as am I. My opinion of Sin stems from the bash, as I was sitting next to him. All I saw was an obnoxious loudmouth, wasn't impressed.

Any chance we could use our daily poker points as free plays instead of 3X rollover? Asking for a friend.

This mentality is why the poker room has gone down so much in the last two years. The reason for the rollover on the points is to create traffic on the cash tables and grow the room. Flipping and cowards waiting to roll theirs over on the hilo omaha granny game are defeating this purpose. i wish they would raise the rollover to 6 times, eliminate the hilo game, ban flipping, and raise the minimum buy in to 50 bb's and then maybe we could have some good games again.

They're actually smart cowards... know who they are, and respect others.

[bonzaii]

SBR doesn't care about traffic in their poker room. Maybe at some point when they first started but they obviously don't care now. Trying to generate rake when most people are playing with free points they won playing tournaments given to them by SBR makes no sense.

I don't know why anyone would want to waste their time rolling over points especially small amounts. I also don't know why SBR even caters this much to poker players on here to begin with when this is a Sportsbook forum not a Poker forum.

If you end up on the final table every day it's a minimum of a 2 hour investment. I don't want to spend another 2 trying to roll the points over. It's difficult as is. Last month in a game I ended up in 2nd place. Tried to find a game to rollover couldn't get one going for a couple of days, waited for about an hour. Then when I did get a game going it was heads up and oh boi hit every river, getting pairs, two pairs and straights. Cards get cracked, that's the game of poker, I understand but I lost my second place earnings trying to roll them over. I know SNG isn't popular here but that's what I like playing. I wouldn't mind rolling it over on an SNG game, 9 or 10 players with the top 3 paying out. I'm a tournament player not a heads up player. The hands you fold while trying to flip should be counted towards the required hands, especially if you play 2/4 and the other players bet $12 preflop while they have $400+ and the newbie has $100.
