    Poker? Whats That?

    Well in case you guys haven't had enough of me yet.

    Perhaps next Saturday would be good time to let the cat outa the bag with another Big SBR Poker Announcement.



    So check back Saturday and let's see what I can come up with.

    Or feel free to make some suggestions, not that I listen to you guys!

    wsop geared contest

    I like the idea of 6-7 winners of $1500 tournament seats rather than one to the 10k main event

    fewer people qualifying

    better structure and starting chip stack for the final

    Nah. No glory in that. Gotta have at least one main eventer, maybe 2nd and 3rd can be side events?

    -Top 50 qualify for tournament
    -starting stack proportional on points during period
    - structure:
    1. Main event +costs
    2. Side event + costs
    3. side event + costs
    4. $1,500
    5. $1,000
    6. 15,000 points
    7. 12,000 points
    8. 10,000 points
    9. 8,000 points
    10. 5,000 points

    See how good I am at giving away SBR shit.

    Final event should have bit more play, smaller # of qualifiers, and flatter pay out structure (play 4 months to qualify then comes down to a total crapshoot as to who takes home the big $ in the final event which is why I think more play + flatter pay out structure is better).

    How about a PL Kamikaze ring game table? Useful when the place is a ghost town (which is often) and want to roll some points.

    Exclusive footage of the cat sammy "persuaded" into the bag

    Word from my CR connections is the fur matches the summertime Vegas sunsets perfectly so I'm anticipating another WSOP ME seat



    Same structure as this last promo would be nice but let's reward the top 50 and bump up the stacks and blind levels for the grand finale. 5000 stack and 12 minute levels would be ideal

    This single tourney at night sucks. I don't have much of a life, but what it is is way more than most of these tards. How abt the morning session again? At least 30 players on here at one time or another have asked for the 10 a.m. slot to return.

    How about a tourney where everyone must go ALL IN in every hand to determine who is the luckiest player?

    Hey Sam, I think I'd like to see some sort of bounty tournament at the end. When we get to these top 100 player finals the stacks are big, the play time is long, and quite frankly as you read here it's anticlimactic. I'd like to see the top players have a bounty on their heads. Like Beat The prick saturdays it stirs up the action.

    Here's an idea. Maybe the top 10 of this series have a 1k point bounty. If they finish in the top 10 of the main they get to keep the 1k on top of their prize, if they lose it goes to whomever knocked them out.


    And while I'm handing out ideas. Sammy, I know SBR doesn't offer US residents the opportunity to buy bet points because of legal implications. Such as the implication that betpoints are a valued type of currency. Perhaps SBR could bypass that by offering people the chance to buy SBR Gift cards. The gift cards could then be turned in for SBR Merch (Yeah Right), Pro Renewal, Or Bet points. Because Gift Cards are allowed to be sold in lue of currency for any reason.

    Would definitely like to see weekend tournaments return.

    As for promotion, World Cup. Only because 48 people get paid. Not just 10. So it makes 4 months of work earn a guarantee payout.

    They could potentially bring back the buy-in fees for PROs to help offset the cost

    Make it 3pts for PROs and 6pts for non-PROs and we should be good to go

    Your outlook is generally negative on most things as you seem to spend more than ample time complaining.

    Cheer up, its free and you get the chance to win your wife some christmas presents.
