The SBR year in review. What was one of your SBR highlights?

[romecloneout]

fmy favorite was when fishnuts was caught air betting (more than once) and finding out fishnuts BEGS mods to delete his threads and posts....goood stuff guys hahaha

[Sdotbold]

Well today I have been on SBR for 2 years. Probably the greatest 2 years ever! Lol

I would probably say getting to know the guys in chat has been cool. Maybe they will let them back on here soon.

[BEANTOWNJIM]

SDOTBOLD THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST TWO YEARS OF YOUR LIFE BEING IN THE SBR CHAT TALKING WITH THE GUYS

WHAT THE F-CK KID WHY DONT YOU GO CHAT WITH THIS GUY WWW.RICHARDSIMMONS.COM

HEY BOLD RATHER THAN CHATTING WITH THE GUYS HOW ABOUT FINDING A CO-ED CHAT ROOM AND MAYBE DISCIVER WOMEN ARENT SO BAD.

OH MAN IS THIS GUY A SHUT IN HIS TWO BEST YEARS OF HIS LIFE HAVE BEEN SPENT IN THE SBR CHAT ROOM

[Jimmy Proffett]

The WSOP seat satellite hosted here; keeping track of the guy that won (can't remember name).

Grinding the poker cash games while I could and building up a nice little nestegg. Chatting with the others at the tables provided much entertainment, whether it was kind words w/ BeerDog or watching Bateman lose his shit time after time.

Busting on Brandon Lang's lol picks

Just reading through the threads in the Saloon made me laugh many times.

[mighty maron]

Iwinyourmoney's threads and videos about casino killings and then posting a thread asking for points for flowers.

In the end, SBR Odds is improved...took a while but it got there.

The newest wheres waldo (roxxxyfish) in vegas book is published here. No one has been able to spot waldo in vegas.

Discontinuation of SBR sportsbook cash for points

WSOP poker rep

Mods...all a good bunch

Year in Review

Pros:
1 - Good management of poker room & poker promotions
2 - Same entertaining atmosphere on the boards maintained by posters & mods.
3 - Good sportsbook contests
4 - The addition of buying/selling SBR points through the store via MB is great
5 - Great SBR casino promotions

Cons
1 - Removal of the anniversary bonus
2 - SBR trivia increased in difficultly and now rewards freeplays
3 - Most contest winnings are now SBR freeplays

My biggest complaint has to be the general devaluation of being a SBR pro. Although store prices have not increased yet inflation has hit in other ways (as previously mentioned). Not all of it is SBR's fault as the industry is in a down period right now and I think the site has managed quite well given the constraints it faces. I only hope that going forward the brunt of the change will still not put on the back of SBR pros who actually materially contribute something to the well being and longevity of the board. SBR non pros are important but there is absolutely no reason to give them the ability to take shots at SBR before turning pro. 25k cap is still ridiculous. Cap it at 5k max. I know that the risk of being hit for 25k is tolerable but the problem is that when it does hit we PRO posters are the ones adversely affected. You will not see a decrease in affiliates in the least if these changes are made for SBR non pros. People love free stuff and will continue to play here as long as the points program is in existence.

Highlight of the year was the BASH.

[SBR_John]

I agree the cap for non Pros is a little high.

We gave away 9 figures in points in 2011. Some areas you mentioned were indeed reduced but areas like contests, poker and special promos saw dramatic increases.

[Wrigley]

Was part of the winning team in the in the football team capping challenge and won a 5,000 point free play

I say about 24,000 points to high 1,000 would be a nice gesture on SBR part even, reduce the non pro stake to 1,000 when they turn pro and bring back the anniversary reward even if you make it 50 points for each year and cap it at 500 max on anniversary points.

[leafs_ducks]

Where was the bash at?

[SBR_John]

Where was the bash at?

First night in downtown Costa Rica. Second night at Los Suenos on the beach also in Costa Rica.

OK, we will look at the point max non Pros can go Pro with at the first of the year. I'm leaning towards 7,500 to 10,000. It has not cost the points program materially to this point but it could as it grows.

[flyingillini]

The highlight for me is when I found out SBR hired Blondie. She is the #1 mod in the forum world.

[horja1]

I love SBR poker ... bring us more tourneys and bigger prizes

[Andy117]
