When do the SBR poker tourney's resume?

Wulfman14 · 07-22-11, 01:49 AM

i think monday, but i'm not sure. depends on whether software upgrading is complete or not

Marigold HD · 07-22-11, 02:01 AM

Good question???!!!??!?

MichaelWaters · 07-22-11, 02:26 AM

never

vividjohn45 · 07-22-11, 06:21 AM

anyway. whatever u win u gotta play cash games with it for rollover. double jeopardy.

i know i won't be playing proly. due to this defective principal.

its hard enuff to win a tourney. then "sorry u can't spend it. u gotta go to the cash room and play nl."

no one else does this in vegas or online. i guess sbr is just to much cutting edge.

anyway i don't play that much nl cash anyway. preferring limit. when it comes to cash. i've lost to much entire session bankrolls to straights vs fh. 22299. ect.

Wow, that's a week delayed. It was initially set for July 25. Now its moved back another week to Aug 1. They better have something great on the upgrade.

Bcatswin · 07-22-11, 01:57 PM

Is this the same for Chat and Sportsbook Lou?

the question was when tournies would start, not poker/sportsbook. i'm pretty sure tournies were always going to be august 1st.

Anyone knows how the rollover will be counted with cash games?

jkilla990 · 07-22-11, 03:29 PM

you get screwed over bc you have to roll over the winnings in ring games and they take rake from those, so not only do you have to roll it over but you lose value while you are doing it.

wtt0315 · 07-22-11, 03:58 PM

rollover in ring games is kinda weird, i also wonder how that works. its usually rake that accounts for bonuses at places. If you win a tournment lets say for 500 do you have to bet 500 in a ring game? What if you just go all in for 500 and no one calls does that count? Weird

bill2266 · 07-22-11, 04:09 PM

thanks lou looking forward it

well, seeing how you are pro and pay 0 points to play in the tournaments, any value you get above 0 is good.

plus, we've all been complaining about the lack of traffic in the ring games, this obviously will have a positive effect on that.

sounds to me like somebody is afraid to play in the ring games.

i think they said it has to be a contested pot.

so yeah, you could technically get a friend and roll it over pretty easily minus some rake, but you could also technically chip dump at pokerstars too. the penalty for being caught would be severe though.

spankie · 07-22-11, 04:55 PM

man i cant wait til more poker. it's probably one of the best benefits of being a pro IMO.

pavyracer · 07-22-11, 04:58 PM

I'm done with SBR Poker. Too many sharks at the ring tables. After watching the WSOP in Vegas I realized getting rivered with pocket AA or KK is not as common as SBR Poker wants you to believe.

jstblaze · 07-22-11, 05:32 PM

i like the idea.

they are free points you are winning to begin with.

and it will greatly increase the ring game traffic.

just because you spent your valuable time playing you shouldnt have to roll them over..?

danso · 07-22-11, 06:01 PM

Looking forward to getting back into some action. It's been a pretty long layoff from SBR poker for all of us

lol i take it you aren't a fan of sbr poker

mikejamm · 07-22-11, 06:19 PM

SBR could just lower the fuk'in prize amounts and let us keep the damn points we win, instead of a stupid ass rollover, but that would be too easy a solution!

Boycotting sbr poker, will not be playing here.

Wrigley · 07-22-11, 07:40 PM

My pro application is up so what is the new rollover requirement if you win a tourney, also what is it if you win SBR sportsbook contests anyone have a link to what they are.
Thanks in advance

The software is more rigged than the 1919 World Series.

no1here · 07-22-11, 08:53 PM

Rollover or not I am ready as I need the points badly.

jeffksu · 07-22-11, 08:57 PM

looking forward to it...let's get that poker back up and running...Thanks Lou...

chemicalbrother · 07-22-11, 09:57 PM

oh shit...lol. no1 was just going to give them all away anyway, so i figured i'd allow him to continue his robin hood styling tonight, but of course he gets binked for a point. haha.

no1, you're the most unselfish person on sbr. ask for points and you should get them, imo.

PlatinumBerg · 07-22-11, 10:34 PM

I like the rollover idea. I want to see bigger prizes and more action at rings games. =)

no1here · 07-22-11, 11:06 PM

Pavy, I got knocked out of the main event and I had aces! AND I GOT A ACE HIGH CLUB FLUSH!

Then I lost to a full house on the river. It happens in live poker as well

Why did you play another hand since your AA got you knocked out?

BigDaddy · 07-22-11, 11:59 PM

looking forward to poker again at sbr

PO what place did you finish?

70kgman · 07-23-11, 12:26 AM

I think the non-US citizens will be able to buy points once it starts back up. Hopefully this upgrade stuff really means they are working on rigging the poker software to help the US citizens win during the ring games at a high but not overly suspicious rate, so the Euros go on tilt and keep purchasing more and more points. If not, SBR should think long and hard about doing that. They can make amends to the US customers who they have been screwing over the past few months, and help themselves out financially simultaneously.

borednaz · 07-23-11, 12:37 AM

Make it a good bet.
