SBR PRO Poker! In-Game-Thread

[SBR Lou]

I thought there were two different poker games? ] 5dimes and ?]

What happens to my leftover chips if I quit early?

You were eliminated in 39th place in the 5Dimes Tourney. The only games running now are in the Texas Hold'Em tab and those are not play chips, they are your actual SBR Points. You can sit out of a table at anytime if you want to stop playing and once you close the lobby your points will be sent back to your forum account in about 5-10 minutes.

lou fix the structure for up coming tourneys.. this is like the rebate wager lotto. No game play involved after 4th round its all in or fold

We are experimenting with different structures. Our first two test tourneys ran kind of long, so we eliminated the break every 20 mins and made blinds 1 minute quicker than our last run. The feedback is valuable though and part of the reason we're still in BETA mode, we will tailor the tourneys and SBRPoker to the majority of the users wishes. Being a weekday some might not have wanted a format that would run past 2 hours.

You could try adding more blind levels as well as reducing the time by a minute. this way players will have more chips relative to the blinds but at the same time their increasing quickly. This also prevents huge jumps in chips:blinds ratio.

I think the blinds are being raised to fast but that is just me. I also like how you guys took out the breaks from the last time every 20 minutes, that is way to early.

Something id like to see is hand history. For instance im dealt k7, i cannot see what i was dealt after the hand is over.

[Sanka]

Damn, went from chipleader to busto in 2 hands

At least I got sam's bounty...

[Dante]

phuck! I'm sandwiched between fishhead and sbr john. I hope the anti collusion software is working to catch these two.

fishhead should be an easy target

[SBR Lou]

Our final table is set! GL guys. Domer has the chiplead, followed by ireland1946, nyer5680.

[Sanka]

Agree that the blinds were raised too fast

[dherd]

how about fixing this thing - i havent won yet !

[jnickell100]

Also Lou, How about the ability to maunally type in your bet.

[Domer]

gave it my best shot, but my best just wasn't good enough tonight

[goofyre]

Lou, do i need to PM you my 5dimes account? or do you have it already since its the account I used to go pro?

Grats to herb too on his wicked raises

[jnickell100]

Domer, im pretty sure it was fixed. Herbie won damn near every hand even if he was a dog. Anyways good playing with ya

[Dirty Sanchez]

I might qualify for most improved...went from 135th last time...to 60th this time Now if I could just figure out the whole Poker strategy thing

[fishmonger]

[jnickell100]

Anyways, SBR these are cool as shit. Thanks for hosting these things, hopefully they often

[SBR Lou]

Congrats guys! Thanks for playing everyone.

misssed

[DaProfessor23]

good night for you lou , i seen you ranking up those points. any word on when next open night will be? mos def something to look forward to it!

[andywend]

I like the blinds moving up so fast as the tournament only lasted about 90 minutes.

I do see the problem though as it turns into an all-in fest at the final table but isn't that true with all no-limit tournaments?

I finished 3rd and had a good time even though Goof took all my chips in 2 hands.

[ThaddeusB]

I agree with most everyone here - the blind increases were way too fast

[jgray]

Although I couldn't play the tourney tonight, I played the first one and I echo the comments about the blinds being raised too fast. Much less skill is involved in the current set-up.

One other suggestion: make "chat" comments in dialogue box a different color (red?) from other actions. It's hard to keep track of any conversations with it all the same color.

[Illusion]

I finished a respectable 32nd tonight.

[LVHerbie]

This probably won't be much of a surprise to anyone but I'm a big fan of the fast blind structure... If anything I think we need to increase it a little....

[LVHerbie]

In fact there was some site I played at (can't think of the name right now... I remember because you could beat the rake (or maybe break even?) doing these if you were clearing a bonus) that had head up sit and gos where you automatically went all-in...

Personally I think this would be ideal structure for SBR freerolls...

[k13]

Blinds can never be fast enough, make them all super turbo.

[andywend]

Does anybody know when the prizes will be credited to our 5Dimes accounts? I finished 3rd tonight.

Thanks.

[Kaabee]

structure is good for this tourney, all in shortstack tourneys are fun

[blackbart]

of course the blind structure made the tourny fast, it also eliminates almost all skill factoring in.

At one point the chip leader was a player who obviously didnt even know how to play poker.

[Blacke]

Anyone know why the ring games took a rake? Or who got the rake?

[RonPaul2008]

Please make the next one on a day other then Tuesday or Thursday!
Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday are all great.

[sinmiedo]
