Allow Sit n Go players to buy in with poker points for roll over

[Slanina]

I agree with Gauchojake. MrKLC and I sat at a SNG yesterday for over an hour and not a single person joined us. Perhaps RO points will pick up the SNGs. But either way, thanks for the addition. No one to my knowledge asked for 3/6 so it's nice to see a random upgrade without the community fighting for it to get changed/added. Awesome!

Awesome

Probably be a good idea to lower the Public Holdem table to .50/1 so the minimum buy in is $20

Right now it's $40 and 12th place finishers who get 30 have no way to roll those points over.

Calm down, Astro. Holy list.

Calm down, Astro. Holy list.

Pretty sure this is the same software Bodog used to use.. So it's capable of all of that.

I'd also like some Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Stud, Stud Hi/Lo, and Razz tables open during the week.. Doesn't have to be a lot, but enough for people to play them to learn them. I'd assume a lot of people would steer clear of them unless they were there often.

Next Poker Contest:

Monday - NL Holdem
Tuesday - PL Omaha
Wednesday - 7 Card Stud
Thursday - NL Holdem
Friday - HORSE

Let's see the leaderboard for that! No more pushing with a random ace and sucking out to score some points like in the current dailies!

Bring back the 9PM EST tourney.

[mikejamm]

How about a fuk'in rebuy tourney where you can actually "rebuy"!

[Optional]

I wouldn't mind the different game each day tournies.

I only know Omaha at all due to it being here.

Handy way to learn the variations.

But in reality I think it would kill the player base.

Allow Sit n Go players to buy in with poker points for roll over

Have been sitting alone at the sit n' gos quite a bit lately. Would be great if they could work this out. The cost of the tourney goes to the rollover.

Or how about a free daily hold'em tourney and then a paid (10+1 or 20+2) entry for other tournies that run during the weekdays.

1pm, 5pm, 9pm daily free tournies
3pm, 7pm, 11pm entry fee tournies with different types

I'd love to play more than one tourney a day but, obviously, we can't

Also introducing the other types as ring tables would help people get used to the format. You retain the player base for the daily tournies, and anyone wanting to play more tournies in a day has the option.

Now there are two of us.

Anyone else for a sit n go?

[GUMMO77]

Let's get it done, Astro!

We did have 7card tables for a week or so here and they were a bit of a mess. The bring-in and 4th and 5th street bets we wrong. I personally would like to see NL and maybe one different game variation per week. That might bring more action to the poker room.

[spurginobili]

Now we're talking. Great job SBR!

More tables is just going to make it more difficult to roll over tourney points (which is what I would assume is most of the ring game traffic) in my opinion. It is already difficult enough to find a concentration of ring game players all online in unison as it is, this will just be spreading out the already thin traffic even thinner across different limit tables.

The higher limit tables are for people who play with their actual points, instead of just rolling over. You have no poker deposits at all, pretty much, so obviously you just roll over points, so the lower limit tables are still there. I'm just glad we (the people who actually use their points) aren't forced to sit with strictly rollover players anymore.

Different types, like I was asking for, might help bring people in if they like a different game (Stud, Stud H/L, Razz). As with offering a free tourney on weekends mixed in with a couple of pay tournaments. The free tourney would help raise traffic (I believe the make up tournies did pretty well on the weekend) and the increased traffic could overflow into the entry fee tournies. Could alternate between different types each weekend. For instance, have a free hold 'em tourney that rewards poker points, then a Omaha tourney after the free hold em.

How about poker software that actually allows HALF OF THE penetrating users to play. GET MAC COMPATIBLE POKER SOFTWARE!!! Losing half the activity you could have there...come on.

What a continuing fuk'in joke this is! "We're open to your suggestions?" Really? Hang on while I get my extra long deep bullshit boots on! You know, in order to actually have people participate in ring games, you must have some way they're actually able to get poker points to play with in the first damn place!


So let's get this straight, you're able to add 3/6 NL to a fuk'in poker platform nobody except die hard regulars are playing at, yet you can't "fix" a Sunday rebuy tourney we've had for a couple of years now? And today, there's no fuk'in Sunday tourney at all? This is progress?

Here's a real suggestion, fire the I.T. guy who obviously can't figure out how to write or change code on one the most moronic simple poker programs I've ever seen, and hire a 15 year old kid from India who is light years ahead of anybody you have now!

You know, at one time, I thought the poker platform here had some real potential. I thought "wow" sbr can set itself aside from the "other" poker sites with a great "constantly improving" software program, build a strong poker community here and show those other donk fest sites how it should be done. What a fuk'in pipe dream world we all were living in!

Several long time sbr pros have made great suggestion over the years and to no fuk'in avail. The lack of communication and ability to address critical poker issues, simply proves what I and others have known all along, zero fuk's given in regard to what can be done to make it successful and attract more competitive membership to the site.

[astro61200]

Sunday at 5:48pm and only 1 person sitting at a ring table. KLC sitting at a bunch of SNG's that won't fill.

If SBR cared about poker, it could be popular. Hell, if they gave out more poker points it would be more popular as well. Just make it a 6x rollover and dish out twice as many points.

[Slanina]

My top 3 suggestions:

1) Add 4th daily tournament (10am or 9pm). All are filling up 95% of the time so it's leaving people out. And many sign up early just to secure a spot but then end up being AFK for whatever reason. Hard to grow the poker room if it's maxed already, right?

2) Let rollovers be used for SNG.

3) Add 25 point buy-in to SNG. 10 isn't enough. 50 is a bit more than I want to spend as I use most of my points to lose in the casino.

Let's try to get more than 2 people playing ring games at a time before we go bananas with the types of games...

During the week I routinely see hold em tables full or close to it.. Weekends I see the low limit Omaha Hi/Lo pretty full as well.

95% of people that play poker do it because it's free, they rollover their poker points and then go blow them in the sportsbook or casino.

Weekdays are busier for hold em because people rollover the points from the dailies right away. Omaha hi/lo is busy on weekends from people who have rollovers left and they figure they have a better chance at getting more points than playing people at hold em.

That's why I also suggested giving more poker points but raising the rollover from 3x to 6x. Could pay out top 20 in the 40 person tournies, give first something like 1000-1200 points, and that would make tables more active. The doubled rollover would result in, pretty much, the same amount of points actually being rewarded.

This is actually a troll post from SBR just to see everyone complain about the exact same things we always complain about while they fix something that wasn't broken to begin with. Well played Sbr, well played.

Unfortunately it wouldn't work like that. Every poker point that is awarded is eventually rolled over and ends up as real points in someones account. The rake from an extra 3x roll would not take away that many of the extra points.

And as much as we treat points like they aren't money, the base cost is somewhere around 6 cents each, so your plan would require SBR to give an extra $1800 per week for the weekly tournies.... or about $30,000 extra just for this world cup event.

Think the plan would need to bring in a lot more poker playing members to justify that cost.

I would play in SNG's, but I have never been able to play in a SNG here since they were added a while back - I get a message that says "Player Level: Computers not allowed in this room". I don't have a problem with any of the other poker games, just the SNG's.
I am not even close to as good a player as many who get to play in SBRs SNG's - so I imagine it is some sort of bug. I am willing to change my username if that will fix it. Let me know if there is anyway that I can play the SNG's.
