High Roller Tourney at SBR Poker, Sat. 5PM ET

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Lou, now we are STARTING to get closer to a real high roller tournament



Probably like 50 people max and pay 9 spots? Kindof defeats the purpose of higher buyins if you are just going to use some sort of socialist pay schedule...

[MiAMiEDDY]

8min levels isn't a high roller tourny its a hyper turbo tourny. That alone turns me off a bit. Usually any casino you go to the "high roller tourny" has the best structure

[MiAMiEDDY]

But there's no denying SBR is making changes (for the better). Good for you guys. Thanks.

I've never heard an 8 minute orbit described as being hyper-turbo.

We start you off with 2,500 chips in this tourney.

[RyanLeafOfBets]

I'm registered. Pretty excited about it.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

2500 + 8mins should work ok with a small field.

Guess it depends how many enter, how many have 100pts spare?

[no1here]

8 minutes is no good and big advantage to better players, should be 12

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I'm with the group in favor of longer blind levels..

[rjt721]

Too bad I pissed away all my points.

Guess I gotta make that free play from today's trivia count to get in this thing.

2. No-show ejector is disabled for the tourney. Be as fashionably late as you want!

3. 2,500 starting chips | 8 minute blind levels.

10 or 12 minute levels would be better, but at least its not set at turbo level like most SBR tournaments.

Of course there's no rollover. It says SBR Pts fellas.

You asked for a higher buy-in, and we delivered. Now hop on in. =)

[k13]

8 minutes is fine.

Turbos are 5 minutes.

[leggysoe]

[playersonly69]

8 minute levels are fine.

Saturday is the wrong day for this.... too much college basketball.

[playersonly69]

Sunday probably is a better day come to think of it

[ThaddeusB]

Sunday probably is a better day come to think of it

I will agree with this thought as well - Sundays are generally better days for me as well.

[robert_wrath]

ThaddeusB, do you have enough Accolades to show there?

[p0kerdynamix]

If the Knicks win than count me in if not.... im fkd

[tatddy]

I will agree with this thought as well - Sundays are generally better days for me as well.

Saturdays are much better for me.

[daneblazer]

If you haven't noticed, there is virtually no rake for this thing

[LUCKYCHUCK]

i may have to take a shot at this

[mikejamm]

Agree as well, too much shit go'in on Saturday. Sundays are easier to get in a tourney. Plus it gives some of these broke fuk's more time to win points on Sat. and make the entry fee on Sunday. I'm gonna try and make it though.

u do realize the max a non pro can transfer to become pro is 5k TOTAL pts.. so u sir are already 3800 over the limit.. no reason for u to play imo

Become A Pro!

read the bottom of the app.. 5k max non pro to pro carryover - " After becoming SBR Pro, a Non-Pro whose balance exceeds 5,000 SBR points will be reset to exactly 5,000."

-stash

[JAKEPEAVY21]

looks like I won't be able to play guys..a friend invited me to the SDSU vs UNLV game this afternoon...I'm an SDSU alum, should be a great atmosphere..gl and I'll be in the next one for sure

For real Stash! Way to let Lucky but not Smart Chuck know what the deal is! Dude is just wasting real money! 3800 pts is at least 3 $50 gift cards. Unreal that somebody would have that many points and not turn pro already! You might as well start giving them away Chucky, 3800 of 'em anyway!

I have to be somewhere but SBR I want to say this is a good idea and I look forward to it in the future.

Ya nailed it this time fellas.

agreed Steve..if something didn't come up, I'd play for sure..looking forward to the next one!

Totally agree it's a great idea, keep up the good work! Not going to be able to make it either, but hope to have time for your next one

[ttwarrior1]

8 min online is like 20 min live

[daneblazer]

NOTE: SBR will payout a minimum of 110% of entry fees or 5,000 SBR points, whichever is higher

Looks like it's going to be 110% of entry fees

[playersonly69]

ttwarrior, maybe you have never played in live tournaments, but 8 minutes online is no where near 20 minutes live.

It is closer to 8 minutes online being like 1 hour of a live tournament.



Most of your major live tournaments have 90 minutes or 120 minute levels

[d2bets]

So now that there's more than 50 entries, does that increase the prize pool? I'm confused.

edit: nevermind!

[astro61200]

Can someone loan me 1... ONE... point?

I forgot about the +1 part and have the rest tied up in the sportsbook for the night. I'll give you 6 points back at midnight.

[playersonly69]

We should just go ahead and pay 9 places now Lou

[broadway6]

i need to buy a laptop with windows so i can play
