SBR Poker ?

[Matt23]

I was just curious if there is a reason why SBR does not have a poker-room sponsoring a weekly freeroll, or a small $10-20 buy-in tournament?

I know EOG used to have 2 tournaments weekly, the Rx used to have a "poker league" which played once weekly (even had their resident poker pro Matt Sterling play in it), Whale's joint has a weekly poker tournament at Doyle's Room, and I am sure many other sites do. I for one really enjoy playing poker, but the idea behind this is not really to play huge $ games, but more just for something to do one night a week. Also, at all the forum poker tournaments that I played in before it was generally a great environment in which people would shoot the shit and talk about the games which were going on that night.

I thought I would post a thread to see if there would be enough interest in order to get a weekly SBR Poker tournament going; so please sign in if you would be interested in participating in a weekly poker tournament at a site to be determined later. Please post any idea that you may have.

* Of course this idea will need approval from SBR's management, but I see no reason why this is not a possibility if there is enough interest.

That is still unknown for the time being. Of course your suggestions will be taken into consideration, but if a poker-room is willing to sponsor a weekly free roll in exchange for a little publicity on SBR I believe it would be a better option then a big site like Full Tilt or Pokerstars, who I believe would be much less likely to sponsor a tournament.

I believe Doyle's Room might be a solid option...

[Matt23]

Most poker-rooms offer account-to-account transfers, so prior to the tournaments taking place I will hopefully make a decent sized deposit, and I will do my best to help out anyone who is unable to fund an account...

Did you play at the weekly poker tournaments at either TheRx or EOG 5star?

Just looking for any suggestions/advice anyone may have to make this work out.

- Seems to be a fair bit of interest for this only being posted 50mins ago. Would be nice to have 25+ players in this.

- Nice turn-out thus far, lets get as many people as we can in this. The more people the better, and more likely we will be able to find a sponsor, or at least we will have some decent sized pots to play for. Some of the latest poker tournaments at therx only had 10-12 people in them.

SBR had a tourney way back when and pokerroomreview.com was suppose to set some stuff but ... anyhow, I'm in if it happens and is at fulltilt or pokerstars...

[BigBollocks]

I'd play (more for the pride than the $$$). Would prefer FT by far. Cheers...
