They could have spread the SBR logo around the entire time the WSOP events are taking place and given a bunch of us a much better chance to win a side event, with the option to take those winnings and go on to enter the main event.
Why not send a fuk'in team of SBR pros verses one guy? You could still have your bullshit 20% cut, get tons of free advertising and increase the overall chances that somebody will run good and and score a win.
This new format is a complete joke, doesn't address anything about fuk'in "skill", just more players, crammed into fewer tourneys, less pay outs, the same starting stack, and the same shitty bad beat software.
Something to think about at the next SBR meeting of the minds round table discussion of how to increase excitement and bring back SBR poker from the depths of shit hole despair.
jam is right, i cant believe i just said that, but its true

Doug, I will disagree with your statement. This format would reward skill versus luck, only if you rewarded 1st place with the direct seat into the main WSOP tourney.
However even though Jake or someone else might run away with the daily tourney's with 6000 pts difference, in the end he will sit in a tourney with 50 players, with the same chance to win, even with #50.
And what happens if no.49 with less than 1000pts. total wins the final, (which probably be a super turbo all-in shove and pray festival). It definitely will not have skill rewarded.
spider is right
you cant do this just for first place over 3 months but i would prefer seeing something like top 50
5 satellites 1-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 41-50 then reward 10 spots for the final then the winner of the final gets the seat, this will be 5 bbs each for a shot at the world series of poker

Congrat Jake! Keep up the good work.
I also like the idea of sending a team of SBR guys to one of the smaller tourneys....ie the $1500 deep stack.
Guys that play aggressive enough to make a deep run (or bust out early)
5. Sinmiedo
6. Autodonk
7. SteveK
kind of like the sports betting hedge fund....I'd be willing to throw in $1000. The backers get 75% of the winnings and the player 25%. 25% not a bad % for a free buy in.

mikejamm has a point, as in a team of sbr poker players to play the smaller events. It would spread sbr logo out more , best situation for both parties. The main event is a long shot.

Clearly Douglas hasn't seen this format in action. It's an all in fest just like the dailies. Possibly worse as you're forced to play draws or bluff more than usual to reach top 5. Slow down the damn blinds. It's not like there is a lot going on in the poker room to force games to end in 90 minutes.

Ronald, I have no idea what your infatuation is with me but I'm not interested in strange middle aged men...I couldn't care less about you, troll..run along and go back under your bridge pal
you won't garner much if any support in any poker thread here against me...try players talk, maybe some of the retards that dwell there will support your cause although based on the majority of responses in YOUR threads, I'd say that most have the same opinion of you that i do...good luck assembling your army of halfwits

I was at your table the other day when that happened...you had a dominating hand 2 or 3 times in a row and lost every time...all you can do is control your decisions, not results...keep fighting the good fight my man and getting it in good.

The opposite side of this though is who really wants to play for potentially 3 hours a day for what amounts to very little unless you win the big prize.
Timing of tourneys is perfect

exactly! top prize is around $15 so if it takes 3 hours, even if you win that's less than minimum wage! stupid

ah yes, mm, but for the majority of the playes like wussywaves, 5 bucks per hour is better than NO bucks per hour, which is what the unemployed scamming whoremongering waves is pulling in.....

yes he is a strange one...not going to read or comment to his nonsense anymore...after looking at a few of his threads he is clearly very lonely, needy and craving attention...reminds me of that nitwit seaweed.

so what's doug's rating now after ~100 days in office as the poker mod. things i've noticed:
1. he only makes an appearance once every 3 weeks or so
2. he read the list of suggestions and implemented zero
3. the one change he did do (even if it's at managements discretion), was change the format to kill the site
reminds me a lot of my freshman year in college and the english course i was taking. a disaster! don't know how that prof gave me a D, but he did. i certainly didn't deserve it.

So being one who really enjoyed the previous format & who has now not played since I beleive 1/5 ( I could be wrong there) is the tourney format really that bad? I mean there are 100 names on the standings so someone is playing. It's really a 3 hour tourney that adds up to $15 for winner? Was SBR just losing too many bet points to the 5 or 10 guys who really dominated the ring games? I do miss playing and getting to know some of the guys on the site. Though playing in The Main Event would be pretty cool, I think one would have to be realistic with the chance of cashing with over 8000 players. Plus the time commitment would be unreal.
Do do I need to post another half naked asian for Doug to respond??

these trnies are lasting barely longer than under the other format..... usually 1:45 to 1:50; all of my final tables ended in under two hours; one was just over an hour and a half, the others about 1:40-1:50
RIP WussyWaves -- rumor has it this format is around from now on, not just this promo........ take the buyout, WW, and save yourself the embarrassment
AD total points won in sbr poker tournaments in 2015: 2,908
Wussy total points won in sbr poker tournaments in 2015: 1,410
and for anyone dumb enough to wager on wussy, here's the tally that counts in the 2015 WussyWaves-AD year leaderboard challenge:
AD points in WussyWaves challange: 1,650
Wussy points in WussyWaves challange: 1,410
As long as it all goes back to normal after this promotion, it's all good. I just hope they werent trying to mask such a drastic change by giving out a poker seat promotion, which obviously failed if that's the case. 0% chance I renew in June if stays the same. Time will tell I guess. And good job so far, Peavy.

and yet the WSOP ticket will be rewarded in an event made to reward luck versus skill. SBR irony at its best
also rewarded is a person's lower opportunity cost while grinding at this low-rewarding format

These tourneys are not taking 3 hours. No more than 1:40. 500 points = about $24 pizza. So that's over $14/hour.
Granted, they're poker points so that takes some time to play through.

Plus that's assuming you get first every single time. 2nd place just as long as first but gets 200 points.
lol @ Ronald coming in and making the thread a shit throwing contest.
Congrats tho JPeav's, did not need this new format to notice you know what you're doing on the tables
