I'm confused about poker point tables

[thechaoz]

This is very strange to me so someone maybe someone could explain. Why can we not use multiple poker freeroll points to buy into a table? Additionally, why at worst case scenario, could we not supplement those points with real points.

As I'm sure many of you know, playing short vs medium vs big stack in poker is a huge difference. I've played poker for money online since 2004. So for example if I have a 150 40 20 point win, I can't buy in to a table for 200. I have to choose one (either buying in for 150 40 20) and they all aren't pooled into the same "poker freeplay" fund.

I guess I wonder why as it seems really strange. Why not make it you have (from 150 40 20) 210 poker freeplay points or at least I could buy into a 200 point table with 150 and use 50 regular points, etc.

It seems retarded, produces less rake for sbr and I am just wondering why it was made that way. Never seen anything like it before. There's always a reason and I'm sure sbr has there. Just wondering why it's this way
Thanks and BOL at the tables everyone

I am confused about Quantum Physics but it seems to relate to poker points.


Quantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta as described by the Quantum Theory. There are five main ideas represented in Quantum Theory:

1. Energy is not continuous, but comes in small but discrete units.
2. The elementary particles behave both like particles and like waves.
3. The movement of these particles is inherently random.
4. It is physically impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.
5. The atomic world and poker points are nothing like the world we live in.

lol nailed it Aggie. I hated those classes. Bachelor of Science in Biochem. Much better than "never heard of ya pal".

Should be able to pool in points from different cashes so you can play at higher limit tables. This is a flaw that needs to be fixed fo shizzle.

[thechaoz]

OK exactly pavy...I always assume there is motivation behind but makes no sense.

I was surprised you couldn't at least top off with real points

For example last night I've already cleared by big cashes but have a 30 30 and 20 but everyone was playing at the 40 min table.

It happened to me before when I have small and large amounts to rollover. I usually try to roll over the smaller amounts first and then move to the larger ones but I wish you can merge them all in one pool if you could.

Couple reasons that I think sbr does not allow you to pool cashes:

- 3x rollover
- Poker points expire after 180 days if you don't use them.

So, when you pool cashes together, it's hard to keep track.

[thechaoz]

I didn't know about the 180 deal so I'll just have to find someone to flip me I guess because tables are dead a lot. I see why they think 3x makes it so you have to divide it up but not really. Lets say you won 150 30 and 20. You could have in the screen

(150 (o/450) by "date due"
(30 (0/30) by "date due

So you'd still have all your poker points in one pool, and as you played you'd clear the oldest rollover first, and those would be converted to real points. Then lets say I just have my 30 and 20 left, I could buy into a table for 50 etc.

[tb1984]

Once you play at least 1 point of your cashes, the 180 day expiration will be reset.

[thechaoz]

It would be easy to do just like all sites do when players have multiple rollover bonuses.

Just uniformed or lazy programming. One of the two

[DJ Dalamar]

Yeah I screwed up and have one with 10 points in it that I will never be able to use.

[thechaoz]

Lol we need to do a mini flip night... I'm down
