What a joke this poker site is

[brainfreeze]

How can someone hit me with a turn and river like 5 or 6 times in one sitting ....

what a joke sbr is.... I can see this crap happening once or twice, but every damn time it's a setup...EVERY TIME A3 of diamonds the flop comes with 2 diamonds I get raised to river never hits ...NOT ONE TIME and this has happened like 4,5 times in one sitting... But some terrible card player can sit and hit runner runner.. 5 times in one sitting ... So sick of this place dogging me out...

And you want people to play here.... WHAT A JOKE THIS PLACE IS, you will never get people to play with this crap programming ... If I hit one day it's for thirty minutes tops, been here for months nothing more... Some other guy sits ..AND DOESNT LOSE FOR THE WHOLE DAMN SITTING ...

but good for you sbr, your good for robbing people..

Place is a joke.... Waiting on the variance speech

I could start cussing out sbr, but I'm not going to do that... They win, it's their game, and I'm playing it... I'm the dumb one in this spot.. Shame on me

Im at fault here, I'll pray for you though BD, .... I've already won through Christ...

I have rigged the deck against you brainfreeze. The system allows us to program in names that they want to not win. It was your turn, we know YOU'RE actually a very well rounded almost gifted poker player and know this is the only way to actually have you finish as anything less than a winner

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Again.....anyone who doesn't know the difference between YOUR & YOU'RE deserves to lose.

i know your being sarcastic but are you sure there isn't a doom switch some where...lol


I was a little hot, when writing the OP, but forgive me... I'm frustrated ... I watch others hit big hands all the time, and come up big, I have yet to do this, and I watch others that play close to how I play, win... Not me
and all the river suck outs I experience is just amazing... I could see if it's a flush draw, but to hit like a 8 or 9 five times is just ...amazing

[brainfreeze]

Again.....anyone who doesn't know the difference between YOUR & YOU'RE deserves to lose.

I taught English Philly, I was aggravated and typing....

your is possessive...

you are... Is directive

I agree with Peavy here. He's #1 on the leader board right now. He has the ear of Christ.

YOU'RE a sarcastic,arrogant person. But from the looks on how SBR conducts its business, it's no wonder you are a moderator on here.

I am sarcastic but most know I'm kidding . Not really arrogant as I dont have any reason to be. not sure how any of this relates to SBR overall? I do like the variety of smileys in your crusade though

But there remains work to be done on your post in the other thread.
" .... must have WENT to your head..."?????

Phil how are you remotely commenting on this when you're one of the many who abide by the all in fest that Sin spoke about in this thread. I played at your table on 3/3 and watched you go all in no less than 4 times when we were at level 2 & 3. I guess that bingo game you won on 3/2 must have went to your head

I love it when people clamor on about variance like they have any idea what it is.

The site isn't rigged.

However, it's much easier to blame shitty software and shitty variance than it is to look in the mirror and blame shitty play.

Suck outs happen. But if they seem to happen over & over again, it's probably something you could be doing differently.

Especially if you're hitting the call button.

[Optional]

Lets say you owned a site about sportsbetting and invested in some poker software to help promote it as a sideline.

You throw 10s of thousands of dollars in prizes each year into it for several years. But there is almost no positive feedback or growth and pretty much every single day there is not just posts criticizing it but down right angry abusive posts accusing you of cheating people and being incompetent over small glitches and you don't see people talking it up or recommending it outside your site.

Do you keep investing in this promotion or not?


I know you guys who complain would not do it if you did not care and want SBR Poker to be better and bigger but I've had the sense for a while now that the people who want it be here the most seem to do the most work at trying to kill the whole thing off.

Just sayin...

Some of that is on SBR for not listening. Some of the frustration came from the administration of the events. Even though I'm sitting this one out, I can tell things have gotten worlds better since Sam has come back.

Welcome to the world of running a poker site . Where there is poker, you are going to have rigtards. Even in live casinos & especially casinos were they have the pokertek electronic tables. People "just don't trust dem machines".

There's a difference between posting threads of cheating & incompetence and criticizing a promotion or the software to make it better. I mean I could offer a 10k freeroll promotion in the garage of my house, offer a billion tier satellite qualifying tournament deep stack for the grand prize and it'd still be free. Doesn't mean it would be a good idea or immune to criticism.

since I'm snowed into today here's my 2 cents.......

I Play a lot of poker live. I understand YOU'RE ( : ) ) dealing with MANY more hands per hour so you will see more crazy plays and suck outs online. On top of that, how many that play here actually ever do play for money or play live games? So the bad players who call will every now and then win some hands that the good poker player wouldn't even be in. It does get frustrating, I get that. I agree the cheating & incompetent theories do get a little old. BUT......some things can be changed that have been talked about in a positive manner (tourney format - live games or lack there of). I for the most part enjoy the site and take it for what it's worth. SBR went all out on the bash so you'll never hear a bad word come out of my mouth about them.

With all that being said......blackjack absolutely rigged as $hit!!!!

I wasn't really commenting on who is to blame, or if criticism is warranted or if all poker players complain a lot.

Was just asking if You owned the business would you continue to invest in this promotion?

I know I'd be having second thoughts.

Lets say you frequent a sports betting site that decides to offer poker.

You do your best to support the site playing as much as possible and even recommend it to other players you know. You see a few issues with the software and how the games are administered so decide to go on the forum and bring those up, but are constantly ignored by the site. You even get confused calls from friends you've referred asking wth is wrong with you for wasting time on this site that ignores the players and very basic concepts of running poker games.

Then, after years of support, the site makes sweeping changes to the games that anyone remotely aware of poker could see that the new format will do nothing but hurt the games even more. You and quite a few other posters bring up these issues and guess what? Once again ignored by the site.

Would you keep investing time into a site that treats its players that way?




Seems pretty obvious to me SBR was bleeding points and decided to change things up to prevent that. More power to them, their site and call, but its shitty to treat the players like idiots and not at least acknowledge it. Instead, lets start a new series promoting "skill vs luck" that really has nothing to do with skill and a grand prize of a 20% staking agreement?

Treat the players with some respect and the poker side would grow. Treat them with disrespect and this is what happens.

Just bad decision making, this wsop thing, the way it's planned was a bad deal... Why not just act like you guys drew out of a hat, put 5 names of down south in there, put 5 names of jakey, 5 of tripper, and biteme... Maybe 2 of donk maybe 2 more of random solid players that " sbr likes "and call it a day. if you want to cut back on poker payouts just do that, why beat around the bush...

It really sucks for US players because we can't purchase these points, so we have to borrow them, and make up the difference if we lose over time. I like the poker here, even though I " never " run good in ring games, I always win a few points because of solid play... Then there's days like yesterday, where I get the screws, that was my fault for keeping on and not quitting, but how good can someone run ? Obviously really good...

so in conclusion, yes, I like sbr poker so don't take my rants to seriously ... The casino on the other hand, you guys should do something about that, never seen nothing like it in all my life, and I live about two blocks from a casino that I use to visit daily, with about 50 bucks and walk out with a hundred or maybe 150 daily after a hour of black jack play... I might lose once or twice a week... but for the most part, I've won for months out... but anyways yes, poker not as bad, and I enjoy the promos you guys throw, I just want the old format back because playing for a hour daily and bubbling out in 9th or 10th daily just sucks....

Thank you for the question and concern though optional, these are the things that will make y'all better, feed back... and I would recommend this place and have ... and still will... but something's gotta give

[TheMoneyShot]

I won the 11PM last night. I shouldn't of...

I actually felt really bad winning.

I think there were 3 people left.... I had the lowest chips....

Leader had AQ and I went all in with KJ

and I think the K hit the river.

Then after that.... I had KK 3 times.... I had AK about 3 times....

Like I said... I really know nothing about cards... I play for fun.

But it's hard to beat anyone with KK and AK 6 times during the last 15 hands or so....


Again.... the place is rigged.

not really sure what you're getting at in the 1st paragraph..are you saying that "sbr likes us" and therefore we win more than others? I hate to break the news but there's a reason that the same group of players is always at or near the top of the qualifying leaderboard and it is not because the software is rigged in our favor. I take as many beats as anyone else, just 2 days ago I had AA allin vs 33 and hhsilver hit his 3 on the river. I laughed it off and did not make a thread about it.

yeah, your not getting what I'm saying ... If I put you in a category with other good poker players, why would that mean " sbr likes you ". Anyways I don't need to hear about your one single bad beat... Just ask arnush I think his name is how I ended the night.... After making this thread... Nut straight on flop, sure enough runner runner he catches full house ... I didn't make a thread about it, it's repetitive is the point but I'm not that worried about it.... Whatever

welcome to the wonderful world of poker..it happens live and online..learn to deal with it or maybe you aren't cut out for the ups and downs.

Go to .25 .50 table with someone and bet $1. Check down and see how many rivers both players hit after 500 hands.
