    Rules/Fine-print

    1. Non-SBR pro members must buy in to each satellite tourney for a 15 point entry fee for each freeroll event they wish to play in. SBR PRO members play for free. You must have 10 SBRforum posts to participate.
    2. You may take part in only one tourney per day.
    3. If a satellite winner is unable to register and play in that Saturday's Championship event, they will receive 500 points.
    4. A poster that wins a weekly event and advances to the Saturday Championship may participate in subsequent satellites that week for the betpoints prize; second place would receive the tournament entry.
    5. SBR employees are unable to redeem any prizes.
    6. Cash prizes carry a 5X rollover requirement.

    This is mainly for those in Europe and our east coast buddys.

    The schedule is spread out so everyone will get a chance to play no matter when they work.

    made my first final table and lost on a fluke flush that took down my straight. otherwise i really thought i could have won the thursday 2 pm satellite. dont know if i can make a run like that again. getting frustrated though. even though this is supposed to be fun.

    I made my first final table this week. Finished 8th, lead at the break, but got terrible cards after that. Also, it seems like every damn time I have a pocket pair, even A's, I get beat in a show down. I have terrible luck with pocket pairs. So damn frustrating. I feel your pain. I'm not big on poker playing, but I did finish 8th and 16th this week. With some 40's and even a 66th when I wasn't feeling it at all.

    thanks guy. yea its tough. just got to keep fingers crossed and hope i make a run like that again. hope to see you next saturday. pisses me off even more when guys in here win two in a row . un friggin believable. especially when much of the game revolves around luck especiallly towards the end. lady luck has always been a bitch to me though so whatever..

    Here is the scoop...

    We start with 68.

    If you make it to the final 10 you will have played on avg 65 minutes. So 58 players play less than an hour.

    The final table takes about 35 minutes. So to win you would play one hour and forty minutes. We are trying for the 1 hour and 30 minute mark but the last 4 or 5 guys play very tight which is fine.

    Surely some sponsor would jump on a "March Madness" Poker Tournament?

    Make it happen!
