$5K SBR Poker Championship set! Saturday Jan 11 @5PM ET

[shevabets]

Would be shocked if this happened, as field is set for 75 not 76. RonPaul is already registered, don't anticipate SBR kicking him out & letting you in.

It's unfortunate, as you put in the time & qualified ahead of RP. But you could have been more pro active getting your pro status by the January 3rd qualifying deadline.

Are you serious?

Unlike RonPaul, I put the time in and I proved I am skilled enough. I QUALIFIED.

If you were aware of your standing on the leaderboard. How did you not notice all the posts asking; "how many non-pros are in the top 75"?

Also for the record, RonPaul2008 won the 2010 SBR Bash tourn, & came in 2nd in 2009.

[sinmiedo]

He could easily pay with 3000 points the pro membership long time ago.

Read the fine print. It must be cash.

[Koldazzice]

Looks like an awesome field. Good luck everyone

First, clearly there's lots on these forums not worth noticing.

Second, even if I did notice (which I did) one of the following probably happened:
A) I couldn't afford to go PRO at the time.
B) I didn't expect to be given until Jan 3 to 'Become a Pro' to keep the spot, rather than Jan 11.

----------------------------
Also I didn't mean to say RonPaul isn't worthy. What I'm saying is ditching me on a technicality is unreasonable. I apologized to SBR_Forum and submitted my PRO application as soon as I could afford it.

Could I have handled this situation better? Sure

Is it reasonable not to let me in because 'field is set for 75' or 'qualification period ended on the 3rd'? Probably not.

It's up to them now. I was a pain in their butt for a long time now so I'll fully understand if I am ditched from this tournament. However, I did my best to rectify the situation and most importantly, I paid the money to go pro. If that (plus 5800+ qualification points) isn't good enough, I guess RonPaul is more worthy of the place in the tournament.

Dude, you didn't follow the rules. That's not a technicality and its not an excuse that you didn't bother to read the rules.

Serious as a heart attack....I previously acknowledged you put in the time & qualified ahead of RP, you simply didn't follow the rule of being pro. If you're a BDF & didn't have the $200 to apply for pro status on time, then you should have taken a 1 week loan from: family/friends/bank.

At some point, you have to take responsibility for the undesirable position you find yourself in.

[mikejamm]

Mikejamm,

You played everyday and couldn't break 4700 PTs.. That's on you not the software. Probably 98% of top 75 played in just about every tournament, hence them making it.

I know a lot of guys around the bubble who played in 60-75% of them.

It really isn't too much skill to get in if you have the time, well at least not in your case because you obviously suck.

Yeah real big talk from a fuk'in pussy who's not even on the list! I don't see your name in the top 75 either asshole, which can only mean you suck too, not at poker though, just big fuk'in dicks is what you really suck on.

[shevabets]

yup.....my mistake

Yup. It is.

None of you guys are worth talking to. I've been a dick and it's up to SBR_Forum to accept my apology and let me in or punish me for 'not following the rules'. Under the circumstances, I've done the best I could.

If I do get in, I will take sadistic pleasure in eliminating every...last... one of you. Expect a lot of shit talking.

I'll lay u 3:1 that u are not getting in. Post up when u are a pro

There's nothing to apologize for and you're not out as punishment for being a dick. You're out because you didn't qualify under the rules and nothing you say or do now is going to change that.

[peacebyinches]

I'm really regretting going on that month long bender and missing about every tournament for several weeks. Fell short by ~100 points.

I'm surprisingly depressed as hell about this, see you all in a month.

[blankoblanco]

I doubt that's true tbh unless I'm just a huge outlier. You make it sound like people are hopeless to make it if they can't play every tourney but I'm pretty sure there's a lot in the top 75 who played 60-75% of the tourneys, especially the ones from 50-75. Imo anyone who can find time to play most of the dailies, plays well, and doesn't run terrible (that's the hardest part) has a shot at making it

[Auto Donk]

LOL.....Gl fellas...if Me tat and wulf are not in the tournament do you really feel like #1 winning it LOL....top 3 tournament or NOT!!@!!

nah, papertrail, we won't miss ur endless raising without sht, hopin' to buy seemingly every f'n pot. I have yet to see you skillfully play, and usually your horrible habits of re-raising everything everytime come back to bite you in the ass, as when u truly do have a hand, no one believes you, and you get sucked out on and hit the rail. I wish you had made it in, and were seated at my table, tho, as ur an easy read that's easy to chip up through..... tc and better luck next time!

[Auto Donk]

I'm through play'in poker at this fuk'in dump.

No, MikeAutoCockingJampoleLover, you'll be back.... your saying you won't be back on sbr playing poker is just like when you swear, as you're walking out the door of some seedy adult book store, after guzzling some stranger's load through a filthy glory hole, that you'll never get face-fuccked while on ur knees again, but then find yourself there again two nights later playing the meat flute once again and swallowing the music, you'll be back...... you love getting beat, you pathetic ccksucking masochist.... and you love losing on sbr!! you probably shot a load the other day when they switched tables on you as you were trying to rebuy and thus booted you out of the trny! that was the funniest sht I'd heard in a while!!! Poker karma, you miserable fck, poker karma, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving p o s than yourself!!!!!

[Auto Donk]

so who will get in shevabets or ronpaul

Call Mike Helton/NASCAR in to figure this out! Helton will let them both in -- unless he finds out that d2bets and ron paul, the "brothers," were on the phone during the tourneys, he'll kick both of them out and let pavyracer, the apparent 76th place BUBBLE BOY, in!!!!

[RudyRuetigger]

id love to see where the top 75 are located in terms of world cup regions

[shevabets]

Europe (USSR)

Well, he qualified for the citizenry list in 1991 but just now filed his application so.....

That was hilarious. Once I'm PRO I'll send you points myself!

Or you can just follow my 2H thread and make your bookie very unhappy:

WNBA was just too easy to beat last season. Here's to us having a great WNBA season this summer.

How long have you been betting it? Was this seriously an easy season in 2013 (rather, easi-ER than average)?

Last season was the first time I played it regularly.

[shevabets]

I'll lay u 3:1 that u are not getting in. Post up when u are a pro

That's very generous... but only if I'm actually PRO by the time the tournament begins. The odds for that are now probably 3:1 or longer. Been 74 hours after application submitted.

How long did it take for everyone's latest round of SBR PRO verification?
