oh wow

yes lets play it that way

[bobbywaves]

Lets play some OMAHA HIGH boobywaves, or are you too scared

I went to the Omaha high tables, you were nowhere to be found.

I was on the tables last night for hours. Again, you were nowhere to be found.

he saves points just so he can brag about them
very sad

You're a constant broke dikk. Lacking the ability to generate your own pts, without soliciting a loan.

Very pathetic & sad.

i generate them, i just dont keep them

as stated, i dont need to

[pabonaparte]

For qualifiers 1000 is sufficient. For the final, I like what bonzaii proposed.

I am looking at the lobby filled with the weekend tournaments. Blind levels down to 7 minutes. Very nice.

One of the tournaments has 2000 starting chip stack. The other two have the regular 1500 starting chip stack. Not as nice?

Can we please get at least one tournament with 1000 starting chips tomorrow, SBR Drew? This new LIGHTNING promo should be all about speed and getting chips in early and often. Similar to chess vs speed chess.

Since chip stack size is something the software handles easily, could we at least give this a try before the promo begins? People may like 1000 chips. I know I would!

[bobbywaves]

So you don't need to keep pts, yet you have solicited loans for pts you don't need.

Makes sense chump.

[thechaoz]

With the event being a month this requires MORE skill than ever to advance. Even you can make it bobby...

Love ya Drew, but you clearly haven't been educated on variance.

I plan on sucking out on the river nightly and having Joe Cool rail me and tell me how terrible I am (but I will be terrible because I'm sucking out).

I want to be the People's donk for just this one contest.

Calling my shot now!

LOL I will only be commenting on the wild donks!


Somebody beat my AJ with A9 tonight because they donked a 9 on the river! I followed them from the rail all the way to victory lane posting about the donk!
LOL: "If you hadn't donked a three-out 9 on me then you'd have been out an hour ago!"
Then he won the whole tournament!
Of course, he donked about 8 more times in order to win 1st place!!


But nobody is either "terrible" or "not terrible" when they donk from behind!


ESPECIALLY in this SBR donk software!

[JoeCool20]

I just truly hope that nobody gives a sheit about me commenting about the wild donks!! (Live or from the rail)

I've said it before, EVERY TIME there is an all-in, then it becomes a set up to be a possible donk!

How the hell could somebody get mad about wildly donking?

Or moreover, how do they get mad at ME for simply commenting on the wild donk? LOL

I commented about how many times sinmedo donked from behind in one of his 1st place finishes and he ain't said a word to me since!

Instead of embracing it, & enjoying it, He REALLY DID get mad at me for commenting about how often he donked from behind! And he ain't said a word to me since!

Now come on y'all, please! NO MORE GETTING MAD AT ME IF/WHEN YOU DONK! LOL ENJOY IT!

I"m changing my strategy. It's too short for variance.

Sure, I could play my normal routine (as I've stated before, I've never not qualified for an sbr promo tourney, even the absolute brutal world cup), but I also have to run really well for just 20 tourneys.

I'm going to see what it's like to be a crazy donk and if it works, it works.

Then you can really dig into me Joe !

Good luck bud! Nice finish in that final btw. QQ at the final table ran into KK (Crusher) Nothing I could do there.

LOL I wouldn't change my style one bit if I was you.

If I can take you in some contest, I will pick you for sure.

[bonzaii]

What do you all think about making this series a 6 max series to encourage more aggressive and quicker play?

[SBR Drew]

so for the event beginning next Monday you guys want 1,000 chips and that is it?

[mpaschal34]

so for the event beginning next Monday you guys want 1,000 chips and that is it?

Why stop at 1000...let’s just make it 100 and be done in 15 minutes.

Have a feeling I won’t miss this at all.

[GUMMO77]

No, don't change it. 1500 is fine. Changing it to 1000 is going to make in an all in fest from the get go, plus it takes out the element of being able to bluff. That isn't poker, not having enough chips to make a play at a pot you shouldn't be in only to win it. And I think with only 1000 starting chips, it takes out that very important strategy.

[GUMMO77]

Sadly some guys on would be game for this.

sounds great lets do it.

[ArunSh]

Some may disagree, but I think going down to 1000 might actually be a fine idea. Let's face it, given it's a month only, the format for qualifying is already very high variance so making it a bit more so may not have a huge overall impact.

And simple fact is: one of the things that really discourages people from playing in the dailies is that in order to cash in them, you pretty much always have to spend at least an hour - more time than many want to spend on a daily basis. No question that lowering the starting stack to 1000 would make the tournaments be shorter which might encourage more people to play, even though it would make the tourneys more luck based.

As always, there are pros and cons, but I would not be opposed to trying that idea. As usual, in the long-term general results won't change much, and the idea of having to spend less time per day on the dailies on average does seem rather attractive in many ways!

[SBR Drew]

so it is either 1000 or 1500 then

[BeerDog99]

1500 is my vote, otherwise it is immediately a flip fest.

[Triple_D_Bet]

No, don't change it. 1500 is fine. Changing it to 1000 is going to make in an all in fest from the get go, plus it takes out the element of being able to bluff. That isn't poker, not having enough chips to make a play at a pot you shouldn't be in only to win it. And I think with only 1000 starting chips, it takes out that very important strategy.

Mostly this...I'm on board with shortening the blind levels though, fits the lightning theme better

[BeerDog99]

Really no point to change it if there is no strategy to overall fix the structure.

[leovegas]

so for the event beginning next Monday you guys want 1,000 chips and that is it?

1000 would be great. I'm still unlikely to be able to play enough to qualify.

[leovegas]

What do you all think about making this series a 6 max series to encourage more aggressive and quicker play?

This is a great idea IMHO

[blankoblanco]

6-handed tables would be aaaawesome. 9/10-handed is a goddamn antiquated poker format that just encourages not playing hands

[SBR Drew]

[SBR Drew]

Ok so the 6 seated at a table and 1500 chips we will use for the event beginning next Monday. To test this out is will begin for tomorrows dailies...

[Frank Mills]

Free bitcoin for Frank in June ? ( God willing and the creek don't rise )

Wowzers! Not sure I think this is a great change or anything, but I definitely think changing it up in general is a good policy - keeps it more fresh! And this definitely seems like a change worth trying whether it becomes standard/permanent or not. As they say, you never know until you try!

[Crusherrr]

6 max is best change yet. The nits will get punished even further now.

[blankoblanco]

Hell yeah! Hopefully most will agree this is a positive change, but either way a month-long event is a good time to mix it up

[ArunSh]

Another change that might want to be considered with this Drew: changing the payouts so that Top 6 get paid rather than Top 8 - naturally goes along well with the theme of having six max tables, that way only the final table gets paid. Of course not suggesting you lower the total payout per tournament, just that it be reworked so that only Top 6 get paid rather than Top 8. Say something like:

300-175-125-85-65-50

I personally like something of that sort better either way, more like "regular" tournaments in terms of the % who get paid out, and having 20/25 point rollovers isn't particularly fun anyway, makes you have to buyin short to pretty much any cash table if you want to roll it over. Minimum 50 payout seems better, at least to me!

[SBR Drew]

Solid idea...we will try this too...
