Time to open up live poker play to non-pros

**mdemps9190** · 11-28-10, 10:53 AM

It's funny that even the Pros are suggesting it...haha I would be so down to play.

How about Sundays from 11pm central to monday 2am central?

**daneblazer** · 11-28-10, 10:39 PM

whenever...need some new blood

**acarmelo1** · 11-28-10, 10:55 PM

I have 300 points to lose, open it up

**senser** · 11-29-10, 12:01 AM

would love to see that happen too.

**RudyRuetigger** · 11-29-10, 12:03 AM

im indifferent on it.

**SportsMushroom** · 11-29-10, 12:10 AM

as time goes by and more people become sbr pros thing will probably get better

**sinmiedo** · 11-29-10, 12:12 AM

i just want to know when the tables are open,
on saturday i just saw 1 player seated
no action what so ever

Make it mac compatible as well

**uofajoe99** · 11-29-10, 11:22 PM

While you are doing MAC compatible it would really be best if you ran it under a java framework or "inside" the confines of a website, this would allow all systems to support it. I'm a linux man and will never go back to windows, not even to take some SBR points from some fools at the table..

**uofajoe99** · 11-29-10, 11:26 PM

Or at the least make sure its compatible with WINE across all platforms..

**saints7011** · 11-30-10, 12:04 AM

I went to play tonight and only 2 people at the table , maybe they are working on sit n go's with the sunday game...

**BeerDog99** · 11-30-10, 12:04 AM

I like the idea of the guy with 300 points to lose!

**63890000** · 11-30-10, 12:15 AM

i agree let non pros in let us play dam it

**frizzelli** · 11-30-10, 01:30 AM

I agree they should let them play.

**Emily_Haines** · 11-30-10, 01:50 AM

Time to up it up for all 24hrs not just 3 hour blocks before tournaments.

**stikymess** · 11-30-10, 03:08 AM

Sounds like a good idea, I would give it a go.

great idea

**Conan** · 11-30-10, 03:27 AM

Ya id love to get some action going its week in there.

**no1here** · 11-30-10, 09:18 AM

makes no seense to limit what could be your bread & butter. Poker could take SBR over the top but allows only a handful when it could be thousands. SBR new poker site only muddies up the poker forum instead of improving it. SBR needs a true Poker representative with the desire to be number one in poker as they are in sports. Big problem in depositing for US players and a true poker site as this requiring no deposit and offering free play, could be tops in the industry. Currently SBR poker is the WORST within the poker field.

I'm running ubuntu, and I can run the SBR poker app through wine. Doesn't seem to be an issue.

**ouman101** · 11-30-10, 10:43 AM

I agree that something needs to be done. The last handful of times I've gotten on poker there is no one playing. Last night I got on about 9:00PM and there was one table and no one playing

**jnickell100** · 11-30-10, 10:47 AM

**joe blow** · 11-30-10, 11:47 AM

Let us play,,,Let us play

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit...It will run, but has errors that shut it down/jam it up...Was doing well in the tourney last night, but every 5 or 6 hands I got shut out and had to reboot...

**pavyracer** · 12-01-10, 03:21 PM

The poker room was dangled as a carrot to posters to become Pro's. The whole business plan of SBR now revolves around making every single poster a Pro. So they will not bulge down and allow non-Pros to play poker for free because they have an ace in their sleeve now.

**iifold** · 12-01-10, 03:28 PM

you playing poker tonight Pavy?

saving my points for the 19th.. you should be able to help me out..

Then let them bite the carrot every 2 weeks? I get tired of 3 betting The King's min raises only to see him fold...

**beanbag** · 12-01-10, 06:43 PM

just save up and Become a Pro

thats the easy way

**Dirty Sanchez** · 12-01-10, 06:51 PM

Being a "Pro" is an exclusive club....it costs to hang around the high rollers like jj and his posse....don't think jj would like the commoners running in his crowd
