The 1st ever SBR top 100 player poker championship! 30,000 points!

[BeerDog99]

ya I have read through this and I gotta wonder, what SBR thinks about this.

Don't get me wrong, some valid points are raised and I could make a few more.

The point is that SBR is trying to both balance fun and fairness for its customers and business succes for SBR and its partners. Its not going to be perfect but they are trying to make this impossible balance work for most customers without giving away the bank.

Anyways, while not perfect, I truly appreciate what SBR has provided to me.

Just over a year ago, a good friend (sinmeido) told me about this site and I doubted it. After I got over my skeptisim and joined, I have had a lot of fun, recevied a lot of $$ value at the various partner sites and I have made a number of good new friends.

All for zero, ziltch, nada $$ from me.... I cannot say that about any other place on the internet nor live.

Again, not perfect, but what is?

Be thankful for what do have.

Thanks a million SBR.

[yisman]

Won't be able to make it Saturday afternoon.

Sounds like a great tournament, though.

RE: Ryder Cup discussion. I don't have the full list, but I know aceking had at least 1500 points and didn't make it. I had 1350.

[Roadtrip635]

The feedback is certainly welcomed and encouraged.

We'll also have a tournament for the players with a minimum # of cashes required prior to year's end. Then next year we'll continue to track how well players do both in terms of points generated and frequency of cashes. That way, it's the best of both worlds.

Looking for a team.... thanks

Good Stuff Lou!

I also like the idea of bracelets for some kind of tournaments. That would be awesome

This sounds sweet!!

well said. just tired of all the complaining. this is a work in progress. simple positive user feed back will result in improvements to sbr poker. look at where it is as opposed to one year ago . and one year from now it will be even better.

[Sanka]

Round 1 will take place at 4PM eastern time on Saturday Nov 5th. The championship round will be a week later at the same time.

Dammit, them be drinking hours over here in Europe. Good thing I'm not in the top 100 (yet)

[a4u2fear]

Must be nice to be able to play in the daily tournaments, those of us with lives can only play a few times per week

[k13]

Good Stuff Lou!

I also like the idea of bracelets for some kind of tournaments. That would be awesome

I'd say we have our own SBR WSOP

20 + events, different buy ins, main event, bracelets, etc.

[pavyracer]

SBR is gonna have to buy lots of silly bands for all those bracelets they will have to award.

lol...did i mention lol?

[aceking]

can the time be changed to 1pm EST ?

[k13]

Nah, just have the Bracelets in our signatures.

[pokernut9999]

9 of top 20 have less then 13 cashes some have 2

I have only 12 but hardly ever play , so what is your point ?

[SBR_John]

A couple of guys won major events. Good for them. The majority, probably 90% of the top 100, have grinded to their respective place in the top 100.

Anyway, there is still over a month and anyone posting in this thread could still make the top 100.

Everyone of these major tournaments are being organized and produced by SBR for the first time. And so far I think Lou and Scott and the whole team has done a treemendous job putting up first class tourneys like the SBR WSOP and SBR Ryder Cup. I'm sure they will get better too.

I thought it was weird that The Prick's typing was so legible.

[no1here]

I have found poker extremely tough since Black Friday with no real direction to go anymore. It is all scary right now and SBR seems to be the only way left. daily tournaments are easily worth 2K monthly and these added events will be big bonuses. Ring games could net me another 8k monthly. I would like to see monthly top winners events also though. I would also like to see total after rollover awarded included as that is the true amount won. Nothing should be added unless rollover.

Thanks for the top 250 list.

The top SBR top 100 Players Championship will be a yearly event and so will the Ryder Cup and the trip to Las Vegas complete with a $10,000 seat at the WSOP. Will they be perfect formats? Hopefully but there will be a Fuzzy or two most likely. One thing is for sure, they will be a lot of fun and very rewarding. Play well my friends(said in my most interesting man in the world voice)

[Cuse0323]

sounds pretty cool, gotta find a way to get into more tournaments and stay in the top 100 since I broke my computer. should be fun

[ThaddeusB]

Is coming...

20,000 SBR poker points up for grabs for places 2nd through 10th....
PLUS 10,000 SBR points for the winner. (no rollover required for the 1st place winner)

Top 10 places cash.

There will be 2 rounds. The top 20 at the end of business on October 31st will earn a bye from round 1.

Thanks for the awesome tournament and bye into the final.

[jjgold]

SteveyK will win

He is best poker player at sbr

[jeffdane]

thinking:

21-50 play each other. top 10 advance
51-100 play each other. top 10 advance.

so 10 from 51-100 advance, by playing weaker competition.

if ur still considering alterations. i think this would be more fair.
21-40 plus 81-100 play for 10 spots.
41-80 play for 10 spots.

why should 10 guys, from 51-100 be placed in final, without even playing a top 50 opponent?

also, for the rollovers, could we have the rollover broken up into segments. no more than 500 per segment. nice to liquidate some of the rollover before completing the massive climb.

thanks again for the tourney, looking forward to it. could use some tweaking though.

really only complaint is the 51-100 play and advance, not fair for the guys in the 20's, just missed a bye, which is a bit excessive as well.

It wouldn't change much for me since I fluctuate between the high 50's and low 60's, but I agree that this setup would be fairer.

[Nittany Lion]

And honestly its really not Ryder Cup that is skewing results as much as those February mega prizes are(I wish I would have been plaing SBR poker for more than the last week of those things).

February should not have counted at all, those people that won those mega prizes in February are all locked up for a 1st round bye.....that is bull shit, SBR should only count the normal months of regular poker prizes for this.

Also, if you guys haven't read the below thread yet, SBR is now crippling parlay payouts in the SBR Book. Not just by a little bit, the correct payout amounts are off by hugeeeeee amounts now, no where close to the true odds and they never made an announcement to warn people.

Just a reminder of what was advertised and how difficult was for the player to qualifide
I know that many of you are not happy, because those points were given only once, but it was the Championship!!!!!!!!

Pal,

Do you see those badges underneath me??

The King is SBR's sharpest all around mind...

I can make or break a posters career with one thread...

Give me 5% of your profits and I will make you the top Point Lender here...

Or you can get on the Kings bad side and I can bury your lending business...

[stevek173]

If you don't have more than one row of badges you aren't a poker balla.

Nuff said.

[Ninersnut]

Decent players tend to get shafted as they don't play many hands from behind. The novice and loose player will accumulate more due to the random river. It's a grind if you are actually playing like you would in a brick n mortar.
