    New Admins on the block and we want to play some poker with you!
    Tammy_G and I have been checking out SBR for a little while and are very happy to be new admins here! We will be hanging out in the community and getting to know all of you, and hopefully having some fun along the way.

    SBR has rolled out some exciting additional contests for you this month and we would like to add a poker tournament to the mix. We both play and enjoy poker so we were happy to see there are quite a few members at SBR who play as well.

    We want to host a $300 online poker tournament to get things started and we would love to get your input on it before we set it up. Here are some suggestions from us, but feel free to provide feedback!

    $300 SBR Poker Tournament (we can use Amazon and paypal to pay prizes)

    Location: PokerStars Home Games (unless you have better suggestions of course)

    Date:
    This is where I need your help. Weekends are probably best due to work schedules during the week. But I also know we have College football on Saturdays and NFL on Sundays. What are your thoughts - and could we look at the last weekend in Sept?

    Time: Most of you are likely spread across 5 time zones. What is the optimal time of day that would work for the most members?

    Game type:
    NLHE is probably the most popular and the best choice for our first tournament - do you agree?

    Format: Do you prefer deep stacks, short stacks and what about blind levels?

    Who can play? We would like to invite all SBR members who are interested in poker

    Payouts: That is easier to decide once we know approximately how many players we will have, but let us know if you have anything you want to suggest

    Please share your thoughts and once we iron out the details we can get the game set up and announced for you!

      This is a good start! We will just need to do it a little differently. Let us know if you have any input for how we set it up, if not stay tuned for the announcement.

                The kids have to come first! Maybe there will be a chance for you to participate at another time.

                It won't be me, but good idea to alert the social media team!

                      Thanks, Denise and SBR.

                      I prefer a tournament that will be over in a reasonable amount of time, especially if it's on a weekday evening as a lot of us need to get up early in the morning.

                          Super excited to be a part of this! Hoping to get some traction and a lot of interest - though judging from what I've seen around the forum that shouldn't be an issue.

                            I hate Sundays as I’m drinking and tailgating in the afternoon. By night I’m done. Prefer Friday to start the weekend off right. 4p or 5p PT. If weekend, then 12p PT.

                            SBR Poker is back!!!

                                        There's a chance we'll see Carseller again, if he's still with us.

                                          Date/Time: I'd suggest two tourneys on a Sunday at 4pm and 8pm ET, with the top 10 in each progressing to a 20 person final run during MNF

                                          Game type: NLHE 6 per table

                                          Format: Design to end in under 2 hours

                                          Who can play? I think there should be a rule that only forum members in good standing are eligible for prizes. Maybe even make it that only people with a post or two in the last month are eligible.

                                          Payouts: $100 $70 $50 $30 + $25 for each of the two qualifying tournament winners = $300
                                          .

                                              ClubGG is also a great option to run this type of stuff and accessible to players anywhere. But Pokerstars is fine too, I just think ClubGG app is a lot better and easier to use and looks better imo.

                                                Denise,

                                                How about morning or afternoon on Sat/Sun during the games?

                                                Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the old BTP weekly poker tournament was at 12PM EST on Saturday right at kickoff for the early college games. That seemed to be quite popular but will go with what the majority wants.

                                                      We will take feedback at least through at least the weekend and will get back with a plan by next Thursday!

                                                      Thanks for all of the input and suggestions so far!

                                                            How about morning or afternoon on Sat/Sun during the games?

                                                            Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the old BTP weekly poker tournament was at 12PM EST on Saturday right at kickoff for the early college games. That seemed to be quite popular but will go with what the majority wants.
                                                            If not Friday, then I’m in favor of this time of play.

                                                                      Yes, they can. They do have to be in the club themselves though, I'm pretty sure.

                                                                      I have experience running clubs in both. ClubGG isn't bad, but to me, PokerStars Home Games is much easier to navigate and set up.
