SBR Poker Poll

MonkeyF0cker · 07-03-09, 02:25 AM

I have no idea who txbadboy is or what this poll refers to, but I'm quite sure my vote would remain the same regardless.

Pay the whole amount to Tacomax. End of debate. Nobody else here deserves it. Sorry.

Basically the guy who won, didn't have any posts when you need 30 to participate. Another guy got 9th place and also doesn't have enough posts.

I say we can't penalize somebody for an oversight that was clearly Lou's fault. He requested entry, was granted it by the Mod whose very job it is to catch this stuff, and then he won.

The equitable solution is for txbadboy to be paid accordingly, and also to pay the people who should've won had Lou not screwed up. I'm sure that's what'll happen here, SBR is always very good about doing the right thing when something unforeseen happens. I do think it should come out of Lou's check, as a reminder that being thorough is very much a part of the job, and it seems something goes wrong with every contest he's associated with.

I say take it out of his healthy Wimbledon earnings, RS.

jayc88 · 07-03-09, 05:27 AM

lou should pay him out of his own pocket

Mudcat · 07-03-09, 07:38 AM

This is why I don't participate in these poker tourneys. Poker is a game played by friends not some freeloaders who show up here to steal the booty.

Maybe have two Poker tourneys. One for freeloaders and one for people who actually post at SBR.

Nope don't pay him... He didnt contribute shit.

I voted yes. Even though the fvctard should've read the rules. All he would've done was spam us with 30 posts about nothing just to be able to play. The rest of them do that...the 30 posts don't mean shit. It just says, "Hey, I spammed your board. Happy? Can I play now??"

Give him the money. The dude won.

$500 Bodog Poker Freeroll

When: Thurs. 7/02 at 9:00PM ET
Where: Bodog
Tourney Name: The SBR Free-For-All
Password: PM Lou with Bodog acct#.
MUST HAVE 30 POSTS to play

From original invite thread. Ken and I have worked very hard behind the scenes on this and we have decided that the final call is up to Lou.

KingRevolver · 07-03-09, 08:24 AM

The 30 posts don't mean jack shit and that's the bottom line. Have him add 30 more posts on top of what he has now...all you'll get will be...

Yes

No

Right

Okay

Cool

This is the difference between getting your money and not? Hahahahaha. Everyone stop f'ing around just 'cause you're not going to get jack shit.

oiler · 07-03-09, 08:24 AM

hey does anyone know who won the bounties on the tourney last night

Shut up, Dickhead.

onthewhat · 07-03-09, 10:09 AM

LOL wow. This one may hold as one of the most classic screw ups of all time. As I have been saying, LT Profits is the only guy who knows how to run a contest on here, and he catches people putting in picks when they haven't submitted their info, etc. Lou is obviously clueless, as referenced by his laundry list of screw ups in previous contests.

Unfortunately, it would be hypocritical of SBR to not pay out the winner. It seems as if their philosophy in sportsbook disputes is that if a sportsbook books a players bet, then it must pay it out. I would say that should be the case here, since they allowed the player to waste his time playing a freeroll, they should pay out the winner but I agree with others saying Lou should be penalized for this error.

I've also been saying all along that allowing nitwits who see "SBR Freeroll" on the Bodog Poker Software to google it, register for SBR, and get the password is rather stupid because SBR isn't necessarily getting any kickbacks. All of the freeloaders already have Bodog accounts, thats how they found out about the freeroll in the first place. Most of these idiots are professional freeroll hunters, they have accounts at dozens of websites to get freeroll passwords and will never come back to SBR, or any other random site they signed up for, again.

Another day, another fukk up by a mod running a contest. Nothing to see here really, pay the kid, and for now on require 500 or 1,000 posts to play a freeroll. I'd bet the registration numbers stay the same as all of your regular posters will now play since they can chat with people they know at the tables, not freeroll hunters with 5 posts.

GREAT post!

SBR Lou · 07-03-09, 10:37 AM

As mentioned in other thread, what we'll do is not only pay the two new guys, but we'll also roll the prizes down one so everyone with over 30 posts gets prizes 1-9.

So the 2nd place finisher will get the total amount of 1st, etc, and the bubble guy will get his $10 the 9th place finisher had grabbed.

Thanks for all of the feedback in here.

solo1969 · 07-03-09, 11:16 AM

if he's owed,of course he should be paid.would'nt you wanna be paid?

TheIntegrityKid · 07-03-09, 11:22 AM

after he gets paid, why not make it where you have to have something like 500 posts or something before you can play?

or even 250...just something where people dont come and spam 30 posts real quick in order to play...

nosniboR11 · 07-03-09, 11:24 AM

no he should not get paid, In willie B's Tuesday totals contest, its by the rules, and then this one is not, Just like Sbr to FU CK things up. Always something here.

sickler · 07-03-09, 11:31 AM

Yea Lou made a good choice. Lets make sure things like this dont happen in the future.

Here's what we'll do.In order to receive the poker password, I'll require poker username in addition to account #. This way, I can quickly examine final table and match the poker handles to the posters. Anyone not on the list will NOT receive a prize.

AgainstAllOdds · 07-03-09, 01:50 PM

Why not just screen the guys you get PM's from??? If they dont have 30 posts, tell them they cant play.
