    SBR World Poker Cup 2011! Root for your country!

    SBR World Poker Cup 2011


    Playing Schedule     (July 4th — July 7th)

    • Nine tournaments per day registering from 12:00PM-8:00PM EDT (view schedule). Each event will be password protected. Your SBR Poker usernames will be altered to include your region.
    • 4 players per tournament (1 player from each region). It will be the responsibility of each team to decide amongst each other which time interval suits them best. Players may compete in only one tournament per day. In the event that multiple players within a region enter the same tournament, no points will be earned for their team. Players may not share the password with players that have not qualified under any circumstance - no points will be counted for that region.

    Scoring details

    • Each tournament will award 2 points for the winning poster's team, and 1 point for the runner-ups team. Co-champions will be crowned in the event of a tie with an equal division of the pot.
    • A leaderboard will be maintained in Players Talk showing how many points each team has.

    You certainly can. The odds are up in the SBR Sportsbook.

    USA is -500 right now.

    You can bet to win 100 (100 is the limit, I believe, so if you want to get more down on a favorite, bet to win).

    It's a steep price, though.



    Jul 04 - 6:00 AM TEAM TO WIN 2011 SBR WORLD POKER CUP

    1 TEAM USA -500

    2 TEAM EUROPE +200

    3 TEAM CANADA +400

    4 TEAM WORLD +450


    Due to high vig, I'll be staying away. Otherwise I'm sure I'd be able to find value in one of the lines.

    Oops, Lou beat me to it.

    Actually some decent value playing the dogs. I believe these games are Heads Up, which is a whole different beast than 60 man's. Luck comes less into play.

    Each of the 36 tournaments (9 daily) are 4-mans. One poster from each region (USA vs Europe vs Canada vs World).

    Will there be odds after each day of the tournament?
    That way us players could hedge.
    Which also brings up...can the players bet on these for any team?

    also would want to take the field.

    i think a -500 favorite would surely warrant a -115 field bet

    I think you'll have to do something like this:

    0.47 on Europe
    0.28 on Canada
    0.25 on World

    This reduces to a -250 bet... the vig is ridiculous.

    what does "rooting" earn u if they win?

    how bout the country/region that wins gets a tournament only for them? like an ALL USA or ALL CANADA tournament as a reward?

    good idea?

    note to bettors, this is a 4 man no limit poker with each player starting with presumably 100 or more big blinds. So this is actually a POKER tourny not a donkeyshove tourny. Some players from USA from my opinion are folding freaks and we can exploit that so that when they rarely raise we fold and soon in order to not lose blinds they have to loosen up and thats when they're out of their comfort zone and that's when we'll pick em off bet canada people!

    These tournaments are basically pure luck by the time you get to the final table. It is either all-in or fold.
