    Let's be honest here, the current SBR Poker structure is an embarrassment

    Edit by SBR:
    We will add another 10 slots to each tournament and adjust the registration times so you can't sign up 5 hours in advance; it will be adjusted to registering two hours before.

    ________

    Not only do the time slots make it next to impossible for anyone with a job and family on the east coast to play, but the rare times I can play I check the 11pm tournament FIVE HOURS before the thing begins and it's already filled to the brim.

    How in the hell are we supposed to play a tournament?

    SBR, If you want your poker product to grow, a novel idea is to let people play. Not shut them out.

    Though it's months away, I will probably not renew my pro membership unless playing conditions improve. I'm not the only one...and I know of posters who haven't renewed because of this.

    We aren't asking for the world. Not a better prize structure, but simply the ability to play when we want to.

    Enough is enough.

    Can someone in power fix this?

    I remember Sam commenting about SBR considering all options. In the past when they changed things, it usually occurs after a promotion ends and before a new one starts. So until Player's Championship is over, it will probably stay the same.

    I believe adding a 4th time slot is by far the best option, not simply adding 10 slots to the current dailys. It will create more availability for players and also have more seats open for the poker room to grow. SBR and players win this way.

    Let's be honest. SBR poker has been dead and a waste of life for 2 years now. What's the reward for "getting" a seat in the tourney you want. Watching paint dry in a fold fest for 90 minutes? Good lord you guys must have too many kids/wives to need this distraction. You're allowed to move on in life.

    That said...

    The Saturday prick tournament is a joke for west coast people.
    Who is awake enough and want to play poker at 9am on a Saturday?

    It should be 3pm EST

    Ditto on the renewal of pro membership with the current format.

    Can't get a seat unless you sign up hours in advance.

    Have weekend tournaments on the schedule that don't happen (still have a Sat and Sun listed on poker front page).

    I'm not going to pretend to know the reason why this has gone on for months now. I can say that poker does not seem to be high on the priority list, at least on the short term.

    Nice! Remember take care of those wounds. A moist wound healing environment is crucial. No betadine, no peroxide, keep them covered. No airing out the wounds to scab up. PM me or Kraken if you need any advice.


    Also on poker my AQ sooted did not crack KK so someone needs to check on that. TIA

    I honestly don't get what the issue is? I register for the 3pm at 9-10am. If something comes up during my day where I can't play, I unregister. If I'm not able to register early or if the tourneys filled I play another time or don't play. Not trying to ruffle any feathers here

    Only broke dikks play poker for points. JJ is right here.

    SBR Poker was created to sign you up at sportsbooks. Now that you are signed there is no more cake.

    Blazer just wants to be able to play poker with his friends on SBR. Something that is much tougher right now than it should be

    Back on topic, the current structure is total BS. Why is there even a limit on the number of entries? I have played the last two days only because I was in the office and remembered to check first thing in the AM and register.

    Theres a unique thing called multi tabling. See, I can play 4 tables of 100nl on bovada and have a table of us broke dikks on SBR at the same time! Except the process of signing up to play a tournament on SBR is tougher than keeping JJ in the green. Actually JJ can probably hit a few winners easier than I find an open SBR table

    Some act like its the WSOP their missing its just for points and anyone playing should make top 100 when its over and it does not matter if your 1st place or 100th place in the standings no points awarded to where you place in final standings or chip advantage in the big tourney for cash

    I use to play SBR Poker all the time, I don't have the time anymore. I wish they were turbo blinds so the games went faster, I don't have 1 hour+ each day to burn sitting around playing.

    It's about pizzas! 1st place = more points = more pizza = more smiles.

    We will add another 10 slots to each tournament and adjust the registration times so you can't sign up 5 hours in advance; it will be adjusted to registering two hours before.
