keep bigblue at the tables

IMO Omaha8 ruins it because of the easier rollover as the first few posts suggest. People are more comfortable playing NLHE-- make rollover easier for NLHE to incentivize people playing more. Also raise min buyin and max buyin to get some action.

Add a couple of "easier" bad beat jackpots in NLHE that encourages higher buyin. Something like if you lose with a boat (using at least 1 card in your hand) and the pot is > 150BB, then you get a jackpot.

Maybe do some fun shit like add a table with the 27 rule. If you win with 27 and show, you get 1 BB from all players at the table.

Add straddling.

Basically I think the tables have many crazy aggros and some super nits and it's hard to get a game going with more casual players. Adding more fun options might help incentivize the more seasoned players making it more interesting. No regs really wants to grind for $10 giftcards and casuals won't stay long.

Fix the software first. It gets old getting beat by the river on every hand.

This but unironically.. the app sucks. E.g. for one can we please get a timeout bank... just 15 seconds per player maybe don't bother refilling it much if at all. It really won't slow play down that much.

[lolbear]

Definitely mobile... will increase play 10 fold guaranteed. Even if functionality is limited to just ring games for whatever reason. I would play way more if I didn’t have to pull my laptop out to partake

100% this. SBR is too casual to sit in front of a computer to focus on. I would play it while watching TV or in transit.

Add LHE
Limit 7 stud
Limit 7 stud hi/lo
Limit Omaha hi/lo

You need a rabbit hunt feature and to also be able to see what cards you folded

Maybe some heads up tables or heads up sng’s

[Krashman]

Make the holdem tables 'bad beat' jackpot tables, with a growing jackpot, but you can't use poker points on them. SBR betpoints only. Increase the rake as required. Cash prizes when a bad beat happens. If you are at the table when a bad beat happpens you share the reward.

You want to fill the room with players that aren't just doing rollover, a big jackpot will do it.

People get mad at me for my bash comments about freeloaders

Then I get fukkin pissed and say stupid shit to get myself banned when drinking


But really, how many within the top 30 of the current poker promo actually sit to play ring games with their own points instead of rollover points?

I'd bet less than 10% and id be surprised if it was over 5%

set the rng to "truly random" from "suckout central shittiest hand always wins" would be nice

I've never gotten mad at you about that and in fact I've done the same with people like Blitty, etc. (Sorry Blitt but you know it's true that you're a freeloader). I've flat out called them out for only appearing when it's time for a SBR funded ride to a Bash - including the DR ffs after not posting for a year plus before that - and Lou and Horseshoe Head were also very vocal in those cases. It's bs in my eyes that any of this is allowed to happen as I've always said people just take advantage of John's/SBR's generosity no matter the venue or even just on the forum but he's also a much kinder soul than I am.

In saying that, that rollover points thing though is complete whoreshit and needs to stop. Same with flipping. Really it's such a turnoff if we're trying to encourage more participants in there. I'm not sure what the solution is regarding rollover but people are just so blatantly taking the piss in the poker rooms now that surely we can come up with a way to avoid that tedium whilst still making it fair and fun for everyone.

LOL Have either of you actually played any poker with this SBR shit-hole software that gives it to the shittiest hand over and over?

I don't speak for others and say "nobody", but the reason "nobody" plays in these ring games for their "real" points,

is that "nobody" wants to play the shit and get bad beat with the horseshit software OVER and OVER.

It's not anywhere near "true" poker the way it donks in 5% and 10% winners over and over.

Nobody is ever going to play hold-em and risk their actual "real" points because the luck-donks are WAY to rampant on here!

No way do people play hold-em on here with points that don't need to be rolled over because of all the bullshit luck donks that happen!

People just wait until the weekend and play omaha hi - lo where they at least have a chance of splitting the pot

a few times and getting the hell out with their points rolled over, before some wild ass donk happens and they lose.



Hell let's see who agrees with me. Who plays this SBR hold-em with points that don't need to be rolled over? Nobody?

Who all DOESN'T play this SBR hold-em with their own points that don't need to be rolled over because of how

frequent and sickening the bad beats and lucky suck outs are on here?

I know I would never risk a single point that didn't need to be rolled over in this SBR hold-em donk-ass bullshit on here! LOL

It's way to damn frustrating the way it lets 5% and 10% donk outs happen over & over!

And it is way too frustrating the way it continually "rewards" the shittiest hand OVER and OVER!

[JoeCool20]

If somebody really "cares" whether another player is trying to roll-over poker points or using "real live" points to play

with, then why don't you just have "poker points rollover" tables and "actual betpoints" tables to choose from?

Then everybody would know what they were up against!

But There would never be any action in the "actual betpoints" hold-em tables because people get too sick of the

wild luck donks that happen way too often! LOL And they'd never risk any points on this SBR hold-em other than

those that they have to try and roll over. The wild luck donks and bad beats are too frequent & sickening! LOL

[JoeCool20]

Now I am going to make my third post that says what I can't believe 20 of the other regulars haven't said yet!


Make the omaha hi - lo available EVERY day so that people with poker rollovers at least have a chance of splitting the pot

a few times and getting the hell out with their points rolled over, before some wild ass donk happens and they lose.

Nobody plays much hold-em anyway. All most people do is sit there with their poker points until the weekend anyway!!

So they can try to split a few pots in omaha hi - lo and meet the giant 3X rollover before they get donked out!

By the way, what reason is the omaha not up all week anyway? Is there any specific reason?


Why make everybody wait until the weekend to have any omaha games? Just put the omaha hi - lo up all week!

And people will be in there all the time trying to accomplish the 3X rollover!

[Krashman]

Bring back the tounament poker badges. It's great advertising in every thread on SBR that non players notice. Why the heck did you discontinue them? Did their manufacturing costs get to high? lol

[kidcudi92]

So those guys are just complaining to complain especially jewcool20....but traffic would pick up if you integrated MAC and iOS devices

I like Rudy's idea of a rake race.

[Ballerholic]

I play a lot of poker. But almost all of that poker is off of SBR for the main reason that the rake is wayyyy too high. For that reason I’m not risking my own points, I’ll only use poker points to rollover.


Also if I’m not playing these SBR games, which are the softest games online, there has to be a really significant reason and that is the RAKE alone.

Lower the rake substantially, you’ll end up with more traffic in the games, and thus more raked money overall.

[dlowilly]

Raise the Minimum buy-in to 50 BB's. Also add some Deep tables where you can buy-in 200 BB's.

Fix the part where if you lose a big hand you dont automatically win the next hand you play

[RudyRuetigger]

did i miss something?

why are there only 2 tables with a max of 1/2 tables?

it previously went up to 10/20 i think



i cant play now anyway, just wondering









also yes, as pascal said, i would love to buy points

[RudyRuetigger]

Add LHE

give me a break bro

those tables dont fill up on regular sites

[RudyRuetigger]

i can finish a poker rollover within 20 minutes

either losing or finishing rollover as long as somone else is playing

go back to normal tourney payouts, double or triple the rollover requirements


until you make people have to play more, they wont play more

[BigOrange]

Drew was asking for improvements to the poker here not improvements to help your style of play

Players can choose whether or not to sit at these 50 bb and 200 bb tables. These would be in addition to the 20 bb tables. You would find that several players that quit playing here because of the short stackers getting in the way of a good game would start playing again. (Tat and Miller are the first two that come to mind that quit because of this)

[JoeCool20]

What the hell is wrong with you? Do you EVER post anything that isn't rude you dumb Jack-ass?

All you can think of to say is that I am "complaining?" Then you "complain" about what you think is me

complaining?! Way to show the SBR forum what the definition of a hypocrite is you rude Dumb jack-ass.

[JoeCool20]

I just don't think there is any way that people are going to play "ring games" poker on here with/for their OWN points.

People just don't hardly have any reason to play ring games poker on a site like this, unless it is for a reason,

which is to rollover poker points. That's why there is no action in the hold-em ring games.


There is no action hardly ever at all in hold-em ring games Then the weekend comes, and people flock

to the omaha hi lo games to try and rollover their points. Like I have already stated, what reason is omaha only

offered on the weekends? Since Rudy is answering EVERY post on here, why don't you answer this one?

If they want more "poker traffic" then why not offer MORE of the only games that people actually play on here?

Which is omaha!! Why not offer the omaha games ALL through the week?

instead of just on weekends? Is there ANY valid answer as to why they don't offer omaha except on weekends?

[TheMoneyShot]

Somehow you have to generate more betpoints and pay more places to get more popularity... or if you want ring games to be more active.

I don't think there's really any other way. This is probably SBR POKER MAXED OUT at the moment. I don't think it can get any better.

[gauchojake]

Got em

[bigblue74]

Higher limits. I dont understand why some limits disappear sometimes.

Rake is too high. It cant be uncapped, its practically unbeatable.

Higher buy in tournaments. High roller tournaments, like 200+15 or 1000+50 would be awsome.

I love the clowns clammorin for high ring games meanwhile they were available for like 7 yrs and nobody ever played them I sat their all night waiting months on end .... Stop acting like u ever once sat at 510 or higher.. you don't even play 1 2

[SBR Drew]

Any other ideas here..we are looking into this and are listening to the SBR Nation as always...

[jts1207]

Mobile!!!!!!!!!!

[jts1207]

Do a poll and see how many post mobile v computer

[downtown2222]

How about making the poker software play from a web browser? I have a chromebook so that would be ideal.

[downtown2222]

Mobile would be cool too

That seems unfair and I completely disagree they should add that "feature".

[Optional]

Poker winner badges.

Royal Flush or High Hand jackpots on cash game tables.

Get rid of Omaha totally so people have to roll over points at ring games rather than hold out to just do it Saturday at Omaha.

More individuals cashing per day in tournies.

Weekend promotions.

Lower rake.
