Miss Playing SBR Poker

I run MAC, and used the App Wine to run the software on my old MacBook

For whatever reason last few times I tried on newer MacBook

Haven't been able to get it work

And I get really impatient on Computer stuff

LOL, as Im sure you can imagine...

Hopefully by Sept 3rd

I'll figure it out

[Crusherrr]

SBRDrew- Can we get a High Roller put back in either for Saturday or Sunday again? 100 or 200 PT Entry.

When you guys get back from Bash, if someone could be too kind to give me a complete dummy walkthrough for MAC, it would be appreciated.

Won't be playing until then so zero rush...

I know SBR doesn’t owe us dik so I hope this isn’t taken as complaining, it’s just constructive criticism to help grow the poker here which should be the goal for management and all RSH players.

I like the fresh format but the prizes are still not worth the time involved. An average of 90 hours of play over the 65 days of tourneys nets the winner 16 bucks an hour and second place is a less than respectable $5.55/hr. God help the 3rd and below finishers, they’d make more panhandling outside the liquor store for 90 hours.

Instead of a new series every few months what about resetting the dailies to the old payouts and having one series for the year with decent payouts that will actually encourage more people to play? Or even better a rake race or similar promo to encourage guys to get into the cash games and not hit and run after rolling over.

[Louisvillekid1]

Well don't you also get points for winning the tournaments?

used to be like 600 for first

But like i said I haven't been able to play in a while

I'd love a year long format Jan 1st to Dec 31st. 260 tournaments give or take you can play and it will reward the best players for the whole year. These 2-3 month promos are average at best. Most of us would just prefer no promo and old payouts. If they are keeping this payout structure just do a year long promo IMO

[PaperTrail07]

....I can start playing 1 time a day again...

its for entertainment

Too many critics

Nobody wants to put up real money either otherwise they would play elsewhere

People want too many handouts

[reigle9]

i just want working software and i'd play all these brokedikk poker promos, don't really care all that much about the prize

i couldve created sbr's poker software in 9th grade hypercard class from 1996

I do. I play at bodava, ignition, WSOP, Party, borgata, Pala, pokerstars (I'm in NJ, though there are several options if you're not).

It was never about the money but decent points (if rolled over), competition and fun.

The dailies are so low now I can make more off watching paint dry.

The point for me of the dailies was for me was to obtain and roll over points for OTHER things such as the book, casino, FF leagues and contests, point bets and things of that nature. Cutting of dailies has hurt FF leagues especially this year, and continues to affect all of sbr because of the "trickle" down if you will.

I have a very hard time in todays pro gambling/poker atmosphere that sbr couldn't find a sponsor from one of many book/poker combos sites or just poker sites alone standing. It wouldn't take a lot to cover those additional daily points we used to have.

Just my two cents.

PS. We aren't begging for free stuff. We pay to be pros, and actively participate in the site which gives them the traffic for advertising dollars. Non pros can just stfu

[thetrinity]

for me, i didnt like the decreased poker payouts (who would), but they have put the points elsewhere, so it is what it is

i do think we can suggest ways to make these things better, those are things that can be fixed without sbr throwing points or money at them

i didnt play once during the world cup because it is not really fair for the usa players, with so many people playing for 24 spots as opposed to the other 2 teams, but ive been playing lately and will definitely try this new series

yes as discussed we will be looking at this.

what is not working rei?

[reigle9]

feel like i've bitched about not being able to full screen a good bit

it's also pretty neat how you maximize that whole 10% or whatever, the cards stay the same size so it's pointless


i'm probably the only asshole that doesn't use a laptop, and instead tv screens 20 feet away as a monitor

[bonzaii]

It would be better if the prizes were given based off standings from the 10 weeks of play or whatever it is rather than have to qualify and luckbox ONE tournament. That would be rewarding good play on a hierarchy basis.

I wish they had something like this too, but at least this is better than the last series that was just ran. Didn't even both trying to qualify for that.

[wikkidinsane]

Gl playing for second guys. Thanks Sbr

A viable solution would be A) letting everyone play as many dailies as they wish during the qualifying period but B) only counting top 10 scores for the purpose of determining leaderboard standings.

This addresses the issue of players simply getting into the finals by playing 5 days a week, every week. Nothing wrong with that but it shouldn't necessarily be the measure of who is a better player and/or worthy of getting through to the finals. The daily prizes should be the reward for the every day grinder, not necessarily the ticket into the Main Event.

Awesome. Thanks SBR!

Not a bad idea.

For your second point, I think points per tournament would be cool with like a minimum of 20 or 25 tournaments to qualify for the finals.

This is a good change bringing back the satellites as everyone will have a chance at the finals pretty much still, just an extra step to get there. 100 in the last event was like bingo.

Bobby Waves going to be tough to beat, always scary when a great player is extra motivated.

I hear ya and appreciate your post

There are most def some people on here that don't want to risk anything though, with many exceptions

I was never a pro before my banning, i was a degenerate poker player and sports bettor, taking advantage of what sbr had to offer would have been a better alternative than the crazy swings i had, so i can understand why people spend a lot of time here

Anything i do here i consider entertainment, and don't really have any gripes as far as what's available for me to get for risking nothing...some people are way too oponionated, and expect things to be handed to them...I'm not that guy

Thing is you actually have to earn the points by playing poker and being a decent player. Plus you aren't investing nothing, you are investing time. Sure, I could be doing other things like watching TV or messing around the internet at the same time but maybe I'm just playing poker.

They aren't handing out 300 poker points to everyone, only to a handful of people a day. To those that earn it and put it in the time. So it's not given to us like you say. Points that are given out to us are like the daily points. We get them just by logging in. Poker points have to be earned much like prizes in their other contests like BTP and the NCAA bracket contest.

I didn't mean it as a "given"

I meant is more as an opportunity to win without risk

You are right though, points do have to be earned

Hey I'm with ya. If sbr wanted to make a buy in on the dialies as a solution I couldn't (not could) possibly care less. I'm very game for that.

To convicts point, and the greatest lesson I ever learned from my lady is. ...
..

Time is so valuable. We're getting older everyday. Don't do things you don't want to. Don't hang with people you don't like. Don't do things you don't want to do. Lol at guys who "have to hang with inlaws" or "go to that romantic comedy"...What a joke, be your own man.

Do you REALLY have to? Or are you just a punk?

[Enkhbat]

Does the new series start today? all I see is the old tournaments, SBR blast, fall poker, players etc.

Wow. You are old skool!

But i think Hypercard might have been more like 1986 than 1996

I've tried it on the TV so can play easily in bed too. Too tiny.

Opti didn’t get a chance to say goodbye last week. Hoping your flight home was much better than your flight out! You’re a class act & I luv ya brother! Let’s try & plan a get away somewhat closer to your neck of the woods. Not fair you’re making the 20 hr flights all the time. You have my contact info. Maybe Cebu City!!

[Enkhbat]

wow from where to Las Vegas does it take 20 hours?

Starting to feel human again! Homebound flight always feels a bit longer but biggest problem was that I had won a satellite entry into a $1500 main event tourney that started 5 hours after I landed on Friday. So got home, had 3 hours sleep, then played from 4pm until 2.30am to make day two, so not enough sleep again to get back for that on Saturday. Think that on the end is what smashed me! (and didn't even min cash in the end)

And it felt like there was 20 people I hardly got a chance to chat too for more than a few minutes. Was all a bit hectic this time.

Macau would work for me!

Hawaii would be fine too if they have what we want there.

When looking for flights I noticed that Fiji is a really cheap route for Americans out of West Coast. And not "too bad" at 9 hours flight time.


Personally I'd be happy with an East Coast bash next, despite the travel. As next time I'd like to buy a round the world ticket and go home clockwise via London and a drive across Europe, then somewhere in Asia before back to Oz. That's what I am working to refill the savings jar for now.
