Does anyone care about this "ryder cup" thing other than the people in it?


I'm not even sure how this tournament came about, and how people were selected. Never heard a thing about it until a couple days ago when I saw it stickied and you make about 2 more threads about it on front page of PT.

[Roxxyfish]

again Thanks SBRJohn and Lou for make this happen

[SBR Lou]

It's now or never for Team USA. Frankzig is playing tight so far, as if he's afraid to make a move.

If you dont know how you could have qualified for this
great Tourney and have no clue how it works, why
do you worry if anybody cares including you

[SBR Lou]

We're surprised Frank has the nerve to hit the fold button playing he's playing so scared.

Hoping that team USA encourages him via the rail.

lets bring it home guys , good luck all others

again Thanks SBRJohn and Lou for make this happen

yes i agree with this. with all the bullshit and drudgery of life this was something to look forward to. thanks sbr.

[benjy]

This is the most fun I've had with SBR. Even better than the giggles in Shantystar's threads

Fun playing, chatting, and hanging out with a great group.

Thanks SBR.

[borednaz]

EUR: Lost the first match. Which will give World & Canada a much needed chance to catch up.

[ngates815]

Lol. Why would I be jealous? I for one know I'm not even close to the top 100 in poker that play here.

You've made 10 threads on the ryder cup thing, and seems that only people that care are the people that are in it (which they should care because SBR is handing out a hefty amount of points for this tournament)

But like I said, I had no idea how you qualified for it, or even heard of the tournament before a couple days ago.

Thank you Yisman. I did not know it was for how well you did in the WSOP. Nice tournament.

Thanks SBR.

sum up my feelings as well. Especially the first quote; thanks again SBR.

[Glitch]

get it.

[SBR Lou]

Team EUR: 26
Team CAN: 23
Team WORLD: 19
Team USA: 16

Team World starts off with a win. Team USA continues to get dominated.

[d2bets]

What happens in the last match if a team that's going to finish in 4th regardless is up against a team 1 back or tied. Is there any incentive to play spoiler? Or could the last place team player negotiate with the other team in contention? Seems like a potential problem.

Ties were addressed in the official SBR Poker Ryder thread.

Co-champions will be crowned in the event of a tie with an equal division of the pot.

So yes, I'd say playing spoiler a la an NFL team out of playoff contention eliminating another team is plenty reward enough. =)

[BigDaddy]

Anyone else think this guy sounds jealous that he didn't make the team??

yep i do


how can you not root for your home country?


i didn't make it but i sure was rooting for USA! USA!

[SBR Lou]

The nail has been placed in Team USA's coffin.

Team EUR: 28
Team CAN: 23
Team WORLD: 19
Team USA: 17

Yeah, but I'm saying let's say it's like 30 EUR/29CAN followed by World in clear 3rd and USA in clear 4th. Europe gets knocked out first. Canada will finish 2nd place with a 3rd place in the match, ties for 1st with a 2nd and wins with a 1st. What's to stop Canada from cutting a deal with World and/or USA to win the match?

Well, we'd have no idea if a team decided to laydown improperly because I'm assuming the team wouldn't discuss doing anything that shady/fraudulent on the SBR network of sites.

[Blax0r]

The nail has been placed in Team USA's coffin.

Team EUR: 28
Team CAN: 23
Team WORLD: 19
Team USA: 17

Well our only hope is to win the next 7 games and have EUR not come in second more than 3 times.

[yisman]

lol

it was similar before the day.

Maybe went from .5% to .2%

[SBR Lou]

Team EUR: 30
Team CAN: 23
Team WORLD: 20
Team USA: 17

Team Europe is steamrolling

[Roxxyfish]

Hehe when will Bob Lowblow go on tilt?

[Bob Loblaw]

Roxxy's been all in more times than I've had a pair in this game

I don't go on tilt

You've been all in 6 times and the blinds are still 15/30
Keep playing like that and see how long you last

Oh, there's your 7th all in as I'm typing this

Only way for you to win playing like this is to get incredibly lucky, just how you did yesterday

[Bob Loblaw]

There's all in #8

He finally gets a caller

He loses

I'm shocked

[Blax0r]

I'm shocked

lol, what was the starting hand matchup?

[benjy]

Bob, didn't know you went in for the smacktalk. But you sound like a prophet.

[Bob Loblaw]

It was after the flop

Like 8, 6, 3 or something

He had A,6 and got called with 7,7

He had more chips so he's still in it to make another dumb mover or two before it's all said and done

[Bob Loblaw]

There it is

All in #9

This time with a pair of 4's after the river

From chip leader to last place with 439 chips

Truly shocking
