Poker improvements

[SBR Drew]

So along with the numerous positive changes we are going through at SBR we wanted to next address the Poker rooms. We have the daily tournaments as we all know and the 3-4 huge SBR Poker Events scheduled yearly. We now want feedback for the Ring games. We are interested in all of your feedback on these games. Are there any suggestions that could be mentioned to see more action in these games? What can we do to improve the games participation? Would you be interested in playing in more of these if we offered improvements? Please take a look and see what we can do to help us help you with the ring games.

We appreciate your input.

omaha hi during the week so people will actually play it

[RudyRuetigger]

drew im gonna make people mad here

but a shit ton of people suggested sit n gos....they hardly ever filled and were discontinued

omaha gets play because it is an easy way for people to rollover points and still have some points leftover to cash out of rollover since they suck at poker

adding more omaha tables will not get more people playing, itll just make rollovers easier..it wont make more people play




1. raise the amount you need to rollover in tourney wins

2. make rake races. i assume you can see who has paid the most rake....just give out a weekly point total to those that are in the top 5, then monthly ones


both of those combined will do it

[RudyRuetigger]

the problem with rake races is you could have 2 guys sitting at a table, see flop and fold to each other


i recommend hours of like 7-9 est to contribute to it and it has to be at certain tables




many angle shooters here so the rules will need adjusted

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.

Maybe mobile but about 5 guys will come in saying mac

And there's no way you see the return on the Mac investment

actually people did play, about 10-14...but sbr added points to the prize pool so they were losing points on them

id be interested to see how much rake was generated during the royal flush promo

Yeah the high roller thing never really worked back when we tried before. Even the ring games didn't work at a higher level. Several times it was just my kicking John's arse in there and the thought of taking our points was enough to entice a few to join but not enough to sustain it.

I remember back in the day when one of us staff were always in there monitoring chat, actively playing while watching the forum, stopping that whole flipping and folding bs, etc. I really do think you're right with rollover when it applies to Omaha and probably just in general to be honest. We probably need to look at putting some restrictions in place again as it's just a total turnoff for people who legit want to play.

I know that's the main reason I finally said stuff it and gave up... there's only so many times you want to sit at a table from someone only to realise they're merely rolling over or they flat out say it. Not so enjoyable for someone who just wants to have a fun session and maybe win a few points!

monthy bounty tournament w staff get shari sbr genie drew the bag would love see jj gold play

[RudyRuetigger]

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%

[Auto Donk]

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.

great post

Why not make ring games zero rake? I mean, since you give away so much points anyway, plus I dont think sbr generates a lot from poker rake, or do you?

0 rake wont matter

people played the high roller tourneys because of the sbr added points

stay with me here



the high roller tournaments only were played because of OVERLAY

a net of 0 taken away will not result in overlay and it wont help sbr pay for running sbrpoker





i try to offer points on both sides

whereas, most posters only suggest stuff to help themselves

Well. I would play all day if it were zero rake.

Currently, I barely play. Low limits and high rake, not worth my time. HU rake is totally ridiculous btw.

[pablo222]

What about rakeback? Wouldn't that encourage more play in the ring games?

[BigOrange]

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

[jjgold]

Drew unban me from poker

Thanks

[TheMoneyShot]

Honestly, I don't know what else you could do to make it more popular and suitable for all?

Might be as good as it gets? Just saying.

[zam77]

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

[GT21Megatron]

Can we get this iOS friendly?? That’s the biggest gripe

[mpaschal34]

The ring games died when the payouts for daily tournaments were cut by more than half. No one can generate enough points to really build a bankroll so the ring games die. I used to play ring them all the time. Now I have to save what chips I earn for other things on here (mainly fantasy football leagues).

If we could purchase points, then I’m sure there would be a ton of action. However with not enough currency to go around, the ring games die out.
