    Poll: "Would you continue to play at ring games if rollover was removed?"
    1. Yes. Just as much as I always do, the fish are always bit'in!
    2. No. I blow my points in the SBR Sportsbook and casino anyways!
    3. I'd settle for less of a payout, to be able to use my points elsewhere!

    I vote 1.

    I believe this is a valid issue here. Charging entry fees, plus rake and adding a 3X rollover is simply fuk'in ridiculous.

    The ring games are well established here now and many of us love playing. When I've got time to kill that's where I'm at anyway.

    A lot of players are fed up with having multiple rollovers building up and the bullshit hassle of having to grind through them.

    Post your suggestions and comments along with your vote. The poker room is beginning to suffer and will continue to lose interest if this issue is not addressed.

    Rollover is like going to the casino and trying to play with fuk'in monopoly money! Lets make all the games for "real" points, you can still have your fuk'in rake SBR, even increase it, raise the entry fees for daily tourneys, etc.., anything would be a better compromise than this redundantly stupid rollover!

    No rollover would be great. Get rid of so many of the pros that are slumming it here for sbr points when they should sack up and play live for cash.

            No. I would like to see some rollover tournaments. I'd play those everyday if they had them.

              I like playing poker, therefore #1.

              Also, I think you should be able to combine them and use them for tourney buyins.

                Just seems like it would make more sense and speed things along if you didn't have to spend 80% of your time here grinding away in fuk'in rollovers! I guess if you have no life and live at this fuk'in place it works ok for you. Most of us would like to get on capping and bett'in games and talk'in shit to JJ about his rug or latest home invasion.

                  Not as much, for sure.

                  And my vote would be #3. I play the daily tournies to get points to either pay off a loan or blow it in the sportsbook. I'd gladly take less points if I just got them right away. That said, it isn't very hard to rollover so it's not really a big deal.

                    This would be a nice option.

                    At the moment I have not really a problem with rollover in general.

                    I would also like if every 10% of rollover is done, 10% of the points get real points.
                    So I can't loose all of my points during rollover - what really sucks.

                        Ideally, if we had a choice
                        1) Double prize points with x3 (x5) rollover
                        2) Regular prize with only x1 rollover

                        I'm sure, sometimes I'll select option 1, sometimes option 2. And this will not affect nr. of played ring games.

                          Without rolloever, there would be fewer players at the ring games for sure. Plus the only guys that would play ring games would be the hardcore SBR poker players ... which isn't the best way to accumulate points. Most guys (fish?) would take the points and jam them in the sportsbook, instead of losing them at the tables.

                            Don't care about rollover but would like more options... s&g's, different games, more than 2 wknd tourneys, more random tourneys not affiliated with dsi satellites... just need more options at all times of day and night to provide some variety imo. Time to start getting more creative if you ask me.

                              You know in economics they would tell you there is no such thing as a free lunch which is exactly what any of this is, so complaining doesn't make that much sense.

                              I do understand the rollover, just when I get 15th win 30 points or whatever it is can there be a way for me to combine it at the table with the other 150 points I might be rolling over? That would be cool. Being able to combine it with full fledged sbr points at the table would be even better.

                                Should be able to use poker points to enter tourneys.

                                  Please add SNGs, especially heads up sngs, I don't mind rollovers as much. I just wish we could buy into tournament with rollover points

                                      Without the rollover, no one would be playing.


                                      I play poker on bookmakers sites for money, only come to the SBR poker room for the points and rollover

                                        If you don't like the rollover, don't play in the tournaments. There is a great deal of overlay in the tourneys and that is good.

                                        If you are truly that worried about your SBR points then you are truly a degen. SBR poker is entertainment, I enjoy the rollover, gives me something to do while I watch the sports I have real money on.

                                          I play with real points the majority of the time. It wouldn't bother me if you had to roll it over 100 times.

                                                dont care, think rollover is a hassle, hardly ever play cash on there. if i was going to play a ring game it wuld be for real money at a local casino. i do play the tournaments cuz id like to be in the big one in september and am usually playing online anyways. grinding it out for a pizza doesnt interest me.

                                                  SBR gives these points away for free on a daily basis and yet you're still complaining about how unfair SBR is being by insisting that you roll them over playing poker before redeeming.

                                                  What are you, a liberal democrat?

Time to start getting more creative if you ask me.

                                                      If we find enough people coud we get a weekly Omaha tourney? Or is the sw not built for that? I would gladly help write the code
