Oh so now sbr should give special consideration to people who signed up for a separate fuk'in contest with a 50 pt entry fee? Yeah that's real fuk'in fair!

Plus this idiot downsouth wasn't even monitoring the results so he could properly credit the winners. You run a fuk'in contest, run the shit right.

Jeez man, chill. Personal and immature attacks are not warranted nor useful. If this is how you are with people in person (i.e. not behind the computer) you will not go far in life.

To the point (if there was a real one), Downsouth ran the contest fairly and consistently and all I was suggestting was that SBR could use the list of players and rankings as a starting point and/or a factor in the decision because it shows a few charteristics of the people:
1) they are willing to put their pts where their mouth is.
2) they participated and therefore showed committment to playing regularly.
3) It is public and therefore all of the stats/scores are there for everybody to see.

Cheers.

Mike has a legitimate gripe Beerdog, he's just blowing that fact by well being Mike. His people skills are lacking because of his anger over the bad RNG here. Now I have watched him play lately & have the feeling his bad play is because of his (What's the point) attitude. I don't know how mike played before hand.

mikejamm · 06-01-11, 10:36 AM

Awe, did I piss the little shits-downsouth with some truth?

So since you run a poker contest and a scam points bank that makes you a fuk'in poker expert huh. You are so full of shit ds you should take that fuzzy avatar and wipe your ass with it. You haven't got the slightest clue about how I play and I could give a fuk about your ignorant opinion! Bring your fuk'in donk ass to real cash table and I'll fuk'in smoke you. Just because you loan points and suck sbr's dick don't make you no success story brah. You one of those fuk's who like having his ego stroke and by idiots who are to stupid to know when they're being sucked in by a scum douche bag like you. I could give a fuk about points, I win real money handicapping sports and playing poker and I guarantee I've pocketed way more cash than your dumb ass!

And I've never said there was a conspiracy, go back and read the fuk'in thread. I stated that the poker software is set up to react to larger chip stacks and the early re-seating by the software was a bullshit flaw. Several people on here agreed with me and have cited their own experiences that indicate this software has problems! Again, you being a sbr points whore, of course you're not gonna say anything to fuk up your banking scam you run! I've won thousands of points on here and won cash and free plays too. Plus I've been a member of this site longer than you and I'm proud to say not once have I ever had to get a fuk'in loan from scam artists like you!

I'm gonna be on a Ryder cup team, and I'm hoping like hell it's against your little piss fuk ass and your reach around butt buddy thadd! You little 2 dudes comment fits you better son!

So put you fuk'in money where mouth is boy, I've got accounts at stars and tilt too. I'll play you heads up for cash, since you're god's gift to poker and we'll see who's got the bigger balls!

Mike Jamm, Down South is better than you. On SBR and probably in cash games as well. Take your shit conspiracy theories elsewhere. Someone get the muff out of this fools cabbage.

My opinion is that Downsouth's May leaderboard contest should give you a good start on who should be selected. Anybody who signed up for that (and for June's) should at least be given due consideration as they are prepared to put pts on the line to win against the best of the regular players.

I am sure there are quite a number of good players who did not play on the leaderboard contest for various reasons but at least that list should be considered as potential open and public starting point for the team building.

I will be out all day so I hope I do not miss the announcment/signup.

Cheers and good luck to all!

Putting up $4.23 hardly constitutes as much ............

Ninersnut · 06-01-11, 01:56 PM

John pick me I would've won a ton of tournies but AA heads up vs KJ and AA vs 33 on final tables is an underdog on ur software. Go by the most top 10 finishes!!!

goldstein077 · 06-01-11, 02:09 PM

I agree final tables made would be a good barometer over all the WSOP qualifiers.

Slainte · 06-01-11, 02:26 PM

I don't like the idea taking into consideration downsouth tournament. I don't mind the tournament but what about the people that have never heard of this tournament or just don't have the points to participate?

John said it best, 38 days of tournament play with 5 each day is more than legit seeding system. If it stays like this i think a standing based on points won during all the qualifiers so far would be great.

World

Prizes and team selection details will be posted Sunday. All ideas are welcome.

Heres my suggestion scrap the idea for now,there is not enough information yet to chose players,no matter what you decide to do there will be many left out and pissed off justifiably and not.

Heres what you do..... after this months wsop sats are done continue making monthly tournaments then in the fall or winter when more time has gone by and more tournaments have been played you will be able to make choices based on 6,8 or 10 months of play.

There is absolutly not enough information at the moment to make selections for teams.

I'm pretty sure my poker history would get me into the SBR Ryder cup tourney,but then again these are only my words.

will you be playing for israel or the USA Goldstein. look at all those 1st place finishes.

and downsouths contest should definitely not be used- not everyone entered that...in fact most people did not.

downsouth · 06-01-11, 04:37 PM

I agree my contest should not be used. But I will say several in my contest should definitely be considered as a few made several final tables and several cashes.

My opinion is there should be some points system for final tables made with higher finshes garnering more points than lower finishes.

Actually, the Ryder Cup works on a two-year points system and tournaments held in the weeks prior to the Ryder Cup don't hold more weight then tournaments 8 months before.

That's what I thought too. Great point VI!

Holy fudge-packing, that's strong!

For now we are using point winnings from tournament play. So you need to be 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Those are the spots that get paid. Weights nicely too giving the most for 1st place finishes.

Starting today or starting on the first day of qualifiers (a month ago)? Last month, I got 1 1st, 2 2nds, 1 3rd, and about 7 other final tables, so I sure hope those count.

no1here · 06-01-11, 04:54 PM

Wrong, downsouth contest contains many good facts when judging whom the best here is. Winner of WSOP final has excellent chance of being from players found there. At least 3 makes final table.

Hey Bored, I respect you and your response here but.....while Mike may or may not have any good points about a bad RNG or favouritism the software to the chosen few, it does not have anything to do with the input on the selection for this Ryder cup and his profanity laden vitriole against DS and Thad just clouds any possible sense from them.

Whether Mike is right or wrong, he should learn how to communicate and backup his claims with real data.

Lastly, I defy anybody who claims there is a faulty RNG to provide real data/evidence of this. Not saying it isn't possible nor that favourtism is not happenning, I just know that nobody has done any real look at this and they are just blowing smoke and having a temper tantrum.

Cheers.

Non pro's should not be allowed to play, the pros are who support the site and should be chosen 1st to represent, no exceptions.

LVHerbie · 06-01-11, 09:27 PM

If this turns out to use qualifications based on past performance that no one knew about only the people who qualify are going to be happy with the system chosen...

Although its kindof fun to see people grovel for what for they perceive as their best shot to be included on the list...

robmpink · 06-01-11, 09:32 PM

Please pick me! Don't hate on gay club clowns. I don't know how to play poker well, but remember. Affirmative action.

We will basically pick teams similar to the real Ryder Cup.

The final standings from the WSOP qualifying event will be used to select the official Ryder Cup team. So if you have not qualified for the SBR WSOP main event; play harder!!!

The SBR qualifying event will rank players 1 to 500. We will sort by IP address and extend invitations. The prizes are as follows:
1st place team will win 50,000 poker points.
2nd place team will win 25,000 poker points
3rd place team will win 14,000 poker points
4th place team will win 9,000 poker points

Each team will have 9 players.
