SBR World Poker Cup 2018

[5mike5]

Lots have asked how lower final payouts, same bad format, same lower paying daily tourneys are " exciting, not the same old thing or better in any way shape or form.

Silence of course

[mpaschal34]

So one less tournament per day and lower payouts per tournament. And then a lower prize pool for the World Cup finals. Wish we were back in 2017.

I know we have no real grounds to complain....but this is certainly not meeting the hype was advertised.

Mike the excitement they are talking about is after an hour and a half of playing cards to get to the final 8, those minutes when you are battling to make sure to at least take 7th. Not just because of the big pay jump between 20 to 25 but the buy in at the cheapest omaha table on the weekend is 25.

exactly

not 1 single thing got better, every single thing got WORSE

guess i would be in hiding as well after all the b.s. we were fed

[EmpireMaker]

It is confirmed the tournaments are set up with the same horrible daily payouts. Very Disappointing !!!

[cincinnatikid513]

Comments, Drew? Will there be a surprise super-prize for the WC winners? A bag of Lays, a Dos Equis 6-pack?...

There is not much to say here...we have the Poker event live now and the Bash in August with many other opportunities to cash in between. BTP contest is going to be offered too. Too bad that some on our forum prefer to complain and whine rather than be appreciative of the things we do for you. Good luck in the event everyone.

I think the point is Drew u sold us all a lemon

Really don't see it that way at all. I mentioned in the past that things were improving here. Some people see it that way (a handful do not) . There were no lemons sold to anyone. If you wish to participate in an event then please do so. If you believe that certain events aren't worth your time then by all means please skip them. Nobody is making you join an event. And it is simply too bad that some people prefer to do nothing but complain no matter what we do at SBR. Again enjoy the events.

[bobbywaves]

I think the majority appreciates what SBR does, myself included. However, I don’t know who sees the improvements, when that’s clearly not the case.

You have to realize there wouldn’t be complainers, if the improvements advertised made pt prizes better instead of worse.

[mpaschal34]

I mentioned in the past that things were improving here. Some people see it that way (a handful do not).

Anyone who thinks playing in a daily tournament where the payouts are half of what they used to be is better....deserves a kick in the nuts (go ahead Autodonk, queue up you nut kicking gif’s).

It doesn’t hurt to state the facts, Poker is NOT a priority at SBR and we are reducing it’s budget. If you still want to play....then play. If not, GTFO.

There is nothing new and exciting here...move on.

Seriously, fukin crybabies, it’s almost like the players were told something new and dynamic was approaching. I don’t know where these whiners would get this dumb idea. Fwiw I am very happy with the less points per daily and less prizes at the end of a 4 month qualification, hopefully these guys quit giving you grief about it eventually.


P.S. For real though, look through this thread and tell us SOME are unhappy, every post is pointing out what a letdown dud this is. We’d all be happier with the old daily format and no series at all.

Well said SBR Drew. It's just like all the whiners in the SBR Bash thread always have nothing better to do then Bitch about something Totally Free.

[RudyRuetigger]

the biggest shit show is drew being a new mod...saying new and exciting things are happening...then provides the same bs tournament

drew go back to therx before you bankrupt sbr as well

THANKS

OKAY.... anyone who thinks that the next "great things goin' on at sbr" poker promo is going to be unique, exciting, profound, fresh, compelling, profitable or any other mother f'n adjective that might be thrown out there by management in leading up to it, I offer you this:

[firekillex]

"new and exciting promos coming , sbr poker will be better then ever"
proceeds to bring the same tourneys but with less dailies and less points.....

sbr poker is going to go downhill quick, half the people didnt even bother with the top 100 , now 4 months of scraping peanuts to just get into the world cup smh

i legit dont see why SBR cannot just do the old daily format and like 1-2 promos a year???
the main problem is you cannot promote better and bigger things and literally just make the product half of what it was....
if you just said SBR poker is going to have some changes, things will be reduced maybe less people would complain, but dont sell everybody fake news, then stand behind it and say ok just dont play if you dont want.... because people wont play , and i guarantee less people will "PAY" to become "PRO" to play for "FREE"

PRO membership pays for itself over the course of a year as you know...And actually we are getting MORE people turning PRO this year than in years past.

[slikec]

Just ALL BOYCOTT for 2 weeks dailies. I know is to much to ask but do it!

[Auto Donk]

Just ALL BOYCOTT for 2 weeks dailies. I know is to much to ask but do it!

this would make sbr cream their tightwad pants..... for two primary reasons: first, they'd save the roughly $100 bucks worth of prize money that would've been paid out during the boycotted period, and second, they literally do not give two shits that we're upset about the 68% cut in the payouts over what they used to be....

as an extra benefit, it'd give them the ammo for the argument to get rid of the rigged shithole poker room altogether, as "well, nobody plays our chickenshit software anymore, we might as well pull it down"

[5mike5]

Well said SBR Drew. It's just like all the whiners in the SBR Bash thread always have nothing better to do then Bitch about something Totally Free.

then he shouldnt have made himself a hype man for shit that was just gonna be worse

period

[blankoblanco]

Dude. I know its your job to pump this up, but I think almost everyone here is savvy enough that we'd like if you were real and didn't insult our intelligence. Yeah, pro membership pays for itself if you spend a certain amount of hours. And obviously SBR is trying to maximize profits, and getting noticeably greedier, and you're the designated hypeman

I don't think I'm just speaking for myself when I say everyone would respect it more if you were a little more transparent about it rather than promising new great stuff that just isn't real

[turtlejc]

its not drews fault, sbr is just giving him the shit to feed us

i never complain about free stuff especially the pro membership but come on...this format wasnt fun with the old structure! how is it going to be now?


Playing poker at SBR used to be fun....there is nothing fun about grinding every day for 1.5-2hrs for a chance at 20-300 points...sorry

[daneblazer]

I think the world cup is the least popular poker contest to be honest. Not complaining just giving honest feedback. I’ve been around sbr poker since it was on bodog so I’ve seen them all. If you had the same daily format and had the triathlon during the nhl & nba playoffs, it would have been a hit.

[Auto Donk]

At work and cant look at the site....is this the format for this promo?

If so....it may be a retread idea, but I’m extremely happy that the previous format is back. No complaints here.

hell no, that's just sbr's poker page being almost a year out of date...

3 pm was the same "new" 68% reduced payout/8 places paid (four of then paid shit) format

[blankoblanco]

I agree it's not Drew's fault! I was one of the first people to say it wasn't Drew's fault, several days ago. Went out of my way to defend him and say it was him just doing his job. I'd just really like if he we could subvert the whole thing and allow him to be more transparent and not fake all of this shit, because I think most of this site is savvy enough that the fakery isn't useful to anyone

[turtlejc]

just scrap the poker, leave a couple omaha tables up for a month or two and then just get rid of it all...focus the obvious dwindling poker sponsor money on BTP or other contests

[firekillex]

exactly what im saying, most guys here are fairly intelligent... nobody is buying the BS that theyre selling

literally 99% of people hate the new Poker promos/format, its very obvious and not a bias statement...
poker tables are dying off and will be extinct soon if this keeps getting pushed out... half the people on the tables arent even around / just got all in because they dont want to sit for 2 hours to make 20 points.... not even hating , just giving facts. Not asking for everything in the world, just having the same format as before would make a lot of people happy again

[sourtwist]

People really cry over points? Those people are not betting real money. No way

I don't know much about Drew but I think the 100 Point contests are great! Is this what Rudy was complaining about? I'll never understand why people complain when they are being offered something for free. Could someone please explain that to me?

Keep the contests coming Drew! I think they're great!(even if I never win)

[Grivas_Digeni]

Drew, when was SBR Poker software last upgraded?

I'm asking because those who sit out are never removed. And this feature used to work a year or two ago. What changed and can this be addressed?

This should go for World Cup finals as well as qualifiers. If you don't care enough to be on time, your stack should be gone within a few minutes, just removed from the table.
