Not sure how I'm "constantly promoting" flipping, when I haven't created any threads regarding the topic.
When someone else creates a flipping thread with questions or looking for a partner, why wouldn't I comment?
I'm a proponent of flipping since it's allowed & I value time, but I'm obviously not constantly promoting it as you suggest.Comment -
You constantly say that your reason for flipping is that you value your time but all of the real poker players know the truth. The truth is that your time has no value and you are afraid to put your points at risk on the cash tables. All you are interested in is season long most cashes contest because your life is so sad that you won't miss a tournament all year and you will fold to min cash instead of trying to actually win tournaments.
I hope they keep the 50 player and pay top 8 places for the dailies after the promo. This will make it harder for you nits to fold your way to a cash!Comment -
Let me know when you get some balls and want to play Heads up for rolls Bobby. You only have a pitiful 5670 points right now so it's not like you can lose that much but you are still a coward to play me or any other poker player here.Comment -
no time for sports betting, my days a full with family and business activities.
Are you familiar with that? poker is my entertainmentComment -
I think we all know that bobby is the scared bitch.
Anyway I like all the changes they made except reducing the prize pool to 800.Comment -
Generally speaking, if you never disagree with someone, it's only because you don't know em well enough...glad we finally got thereAll our years bud and I've never disagreed with you, possibly until now.
1. Firstly they aren't "free" As I stated previously, we pay to be pros. We visit the site and click links, sign up for various sponsors which gives them money. Users post most of the content on the site which drives traffic which increases ad revenue.
2. I am confused on how having running table games vs people flipping would change the dynamics of the profit margin and sponsorships. They would advertise to a site "We have x amount of active players" Not necessarily what those active players may be doing on the tables.
3. They will never ban it, plain and simple. They can't. You'd have to have a nearly full time person monitoring the tables. Not happening
4. I've play with actual points now, my rollover is finally complete after months of catching up, but I know what you are saying, most people rollover and bounce. I wouldn't even put it at 20 people who use real points to play.
5. You're trying to poke the bear and trigger with the last paragraph, which is unlike you. We don't do it because we don't want to play, but it takes an enormous amount of time to rollover thousands of points and it's an effective and efficient system. It makes the mob mad, but it works.
"Puts us in that company". If you ever browse players talk and give a shit what these dumb penetrates think of you, you need to re-evaluate your life.
6. Delete some private messages for God's sake
1) Sure, change 'free' to 'a ridiculously huge return to the point where they're virtually free'...with the overlays involved, it's more or less the same thing, and not like poker is the only benefit to membership.
2) They could advertise X active players, but what those players are doing is relevant to keeping people around. Saying 'we have 100 active players' won't do much when new people see that 50% are flipping and unwilling to play poker; the new players will (rightfully) conclude that it isn't worth their time and leave.
3) Given Drew's statement, 'never' seems like too strong of a statement. Certainly a challenge given assumed capabilities of software, but it remains that if they don't, it will continue to undermine the purpose of handing out poker points.
4) Yeah, 20 was a generous estimate of who has played with real points/for fun over the years...I don't do so anymore myself. Hell, I'm still losing rollovers because I can't find the time/interest to get on here and roll em over
5) I'm actually pretty fond of provoking debates (or 'argumentative shitshows'
), but not really trying here. I'm acknowledging that flipping being against the spirit of what SBR is trying for probably isn't enough by itself to keep people from doing it. Until they ban it, I wouldn't judge someone as a terrible person for flipping for example. As for the company, that's just a comment that associating with people too scared to play cash games doesn't make you one, but doesn't look good...same as associating with stiffs, or morons (and it doesn't help when the biggest advocate for flipping is all three )
6. Funny you should mention it, the only reason I logged on today was to delete some! Too busy lately to even refresh my browser to log in daily...a thriving poker community would certainly change that for me, but we'll see.Comment -

Lets have an annual bet Bobby, with the new format you shouldn't be that confident.
looks like we are both not in the top 15 right now so it is a fair bet. What amount you wanna bet?
I am definitely not scared of you nit.Comment -
We are looking at all aspects of Poker and the overall structure of Events, SBR book and the like. Remember we are in mid January plenty of time to read feedback and improve the product. Think about is...in one week we already promoted the SBR Spring Poker Event, and Super Bowl Squares Pool. With March Madness approaching these will be more offers and events going live.Comment -
Anyone want to play some ring games 1/2? I am at the table now with 80 points to try and rollComment -
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.Comment -
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.Last edited by bobbywaves; 01-17-18, 05:45 PM.Comment
