SBR Poker Test In Game Thread

I don't get why everyone is complaining. It was a trial run, should have expected problems. Not like it cost anything to get into it.

Philavanh · 12-05-10, 08:18 PM

I was sitting pretty good too, hoping to make final table

milwaukee mike · 12-05-10, 08:20 PM

yeah why would we complain?
maybe because we spent an hour playing a game that was supposed to have prizes, we did pretty well in that game, and then the game stopped.

if someone gave you free tickets to a football/basketball game and then they just stopped the game in the 2nd quarter or some 8 foot tall dudes stood in front of you the whole time so you couldn't see a thing would you have no right to complain because you got the tickets for free?

I don give a ****!!! A prize is a prize! Who cares if it was free the point is this SBR poker has a long way to go.

I'm sorry everyone, I just received an update that the tournament actually flat-lined. There's nothing we can do to power back the tourney. We will add the 1,000 points onto Tuesday's $500 tournament which is on the stable platform.

What a bullshit way of resolving this especially because it was free to join and I doubt Tuesday's is free.

no1here · 12-05-10, 08:22 PM

I don't play on Tuesdays and many on Tuesday would not of played tonight

so a patheitc prize pool of 2k points tonight becomes even less by only adding 1000 points to tuesday?

sad solution.

No one forced you to play. You volunteered for the tourney. If you canceled big plans for a free poker tourney to win some points, maybe it's time you reevaluate your life.

LostBankroll · 12-05-10, 08:24 PM

Jesus Christ Lou!!! The next tourney will be 20 points for me to enter. I was 31st. So we all had to uninstall SBR Poker to install this new beta version as if it would fix all the disconnect problems. This is ullshit pay eerybody 10 points at least for the wait and waste of time. I could have been capping some Italian Handball. Thanks Lou!

Who are you? Maybe its time you learn how to suck a good pipe?

ttwarrior1 · 12-05-10, 08:28 PM

i had Aces in big blind with a raiser , i just feel likei would of won even if i wasn't near chip lead, i need points, 2 hours of wasted day

Arsenal · 12-05-10, 08:32 PM

SBR should really consider paying out the points from tonight like the Beat the Prick contest. Give a percentage of the points out depending on how many chips someone had at the time the tournament crashed. I am sure there are a lot of people that played in this that are unable to play on Tuesday.

I know SBR hands out free stuff so I am not going to complain about this. Just offering a suggestion which would most likely be a more fair way to end this.

ttwarrior1 · 12-05-10, 08:34 PM

tired of rich punk sbr pros trying to push people around. We should get points for playing this tonight.

Listen up Bobby Chapstick...just because something is free doesn't mean you give up your right to bitch about its inadequacies, got it, guy?

Christina33 · 12-05-10, 08:49 PM

Sbr should have a special tourney for those who were still playing at the time of crash

nosniboR11 · 12-05-10, 09:01 PM

not a very good move sbr

will rethink things

now i should reevaluate my life?

feeling a bit full of yourself much?
yes we complained about a tournament, but you were complaining ABOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING!

i also volunteer to deliver food to poor people, and if one of them stabs me in the chest or keeps me waiting for an hour i'm going to complain about it!

Richards · 12-05-10, 11:20 PM

I understand why people are complaining, but the tourney was clearly labeled as a BETA TEST -- which means hopefully all goes well but PROBLEMS are PAR for the course.

geebert74 · 12-06-10, 07:47 AM

Is the game Wednesday only going to be for pros???

ROGUE63 · 12-06-10, 08:09 AM

i had the download fail 3 times and when i finally got it downloaded was too late ;but i guess i didnt miss much

jennahazeplays · 12-06-10, 08:48 AM

damn missed thid one

no1here · 12-06-10, 09:52 AM

I went through much trying to restore the game costing me valuable time as I am serious at this and every minute is of the upmost. It is not so much about the time spent playing as the time wasted after. SBR never seems to do the right thing when such happens and it does alot here. Prize pool was 1000 points which needs to be split between the 200 that played. Giving the points to newbys Tuesday night that wasn't even registered yesterday is crazy.

wquine · 12-06-10, 10:12 AM

hey some of you guys were out before the flatline! it was your choice to join, you knew the risks. I was in 18th, but a shoe in for top 3

Haha this is true.

GJMike · 12-06-10, 01:01 PM

Don't worry guys. I think I was going to win the thing anyways. 20four7 was up there... but I feel I would have caught up. I was playing wreckless and it was working..
