        Covers and 2+2 would kill SBR hands-down. Easily.

            I think we'd be in major trouble with 2+2. Covers our sharpie poker guys could haha cover quite easily I think.

                    You'll lose the 1k purposely rigging 2+2 or covers to win just to get their traffic over here.

                      Patty has a clue.

                      traffic and exposure, new sign ups

                      99% of sbr member competing against 99% of 2+2 would be like a bunch of circus clown midgets playing football vs the 2011 nfl all-pro team playing HARD.

                      If you can isolate the pros and sharps still here at sbr, you cabn at least make it a 48/52 sorta coinflip in 2+2's favor.

                      make it happen!

                            People representing 2+2 wouldn't be anyone from HSNL sub-forum or even MTTc. Probably the .50/1 online grinders who play for fun.

                                They can bring Ivey and every other top pro if they'd like, there edge would still not be that big.

                                  Hard to have an edge when online poker is not real poker and the walkers minions can taint the software.

                                      I am a hsmtt reg and cash game reg so I can tell you even the micro stakes multi tablers are very good players.

                                      If you are gonna challenge them it needs to be the nvg tards and the BBV clowns.

                                          A screen shot of single hand you going to lose 17% when you are playing hand after hand doesn't really prove much (the four of a kind makes the picture prettier but has the same effect as all the other ways you would have lost the hand)...

                                          If you saw someone hit a number in roulette when they had six numbers covered (something that is slightly rarer then what you are complaining about) would you also stop to take a picture and try to draw conclusions about the fairness of the wheel?

                                            Herbie while you are correct and I know i'm only going to win about 80% of the time but with my thousands upon thousands of hours logged into online poker sites from my own personal experiences I find it safe to say that the software can not be trusted at these online sites. Who's to say when a bovada type company is having money shortages that they don't stick some of their employees in to the games with customers and bury them by rigging the deck? Who's to say sites aren't capable of this when theres nobody really regulating them? Majority of offshore books are already guilty of offering rigged/unfair odds casinos that make them millions upon millions every year who's to say guy? I think outside the box i don't believe what walker/shari tell me because I know they'd drink the fukkin koolaid to get their kickback.

                                              No way! The only reason i say that is the same reason ttwarrior1 says. They will take this site over. This is a sports betting forum first. If people think that its bad with how people dog SBR poker...just wait till them people get here. I feel old when i say this but your going to open a can a worms.

                                                          They are not used to playing one table at a time so they will lose.

                                                          Make sure they bring in Dwan and Galfond. Make it even easier on us since they lose 99% of tourneys they play in.

                                                            I like covers. It was the 1st site that I was on 10 years ago but I say BRING IT. I'm an SBR guy and I've never backed down from a challenge in my life. I don't know if they talk about SBR. If they don't, it's not worth it but if they comment about SBR in a negative manner regularly, bring it the hell on. I'm not saying that I win everything but if they want to beat me or what I care about, the stakes have risen, and they'll have to work their asses off to try and win because survivng is my life. I don't know anything else. I live my avatar. Fun and games is sometimes taken lightly but if my reputation is challenged, it's on.

This would be like the world cup all over again. Anybody could win it... but great idea to generate traffic though
