Petition to increase # of players to 50

**bobbywaves** · 09-09-15, 06:53 PM

More participants = longer tourney's + harder to cash.

Tourney's already go 90+ minutes, who wants to endure longer?

Post a voting poll, the results will surprise you.

**Carseller4** · 09-09-15, 06:56 PM

negative on 50

add another tourney? I'd be all for that.

**mpaschal34** · 09-09-15, 07:02 PM

i know what you two would want....the easy road. don't care about playing a game of skill.

if waves had his choice....all tourney's would be flipping matches.

**SharpAngles** · 09-09-15, 07:04 PM

Leave the tourneys the way they are, or maybe add one more and adjust payouts if demand stays high. Today I signed up for the early game 15 minutes before start and there were 3 seats left so not sure the demand is even there.

Yep, but go pursue your difficult road. No surprise your petition is outvoted 3-0 already.

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 09-09-15, 07:12 PM

I'd be against adding more players as well. Tourneys taking way too long with 40

**Mr KLC** · 09-09-15, 07:46 PM

How about letting registration begin 2 hours before the tourney, so some of us who would like to play don't get blocked out by the guys that register in the morning, and then don't show up. I guarantee you there will be at least 5 no shows tonight.

**mikejamm** · 09-09-15, 08:09 PM

Like fuk head wussywaves is got something better to do!

Hey wussy asshole, when you live every waking second of your miserable life here anyway, what difference does it make to you? You're inflatable girlfriend isn't going anywhere!

I'd be in favor of adding 10 more or bring back the fuk'in 9pm like we always had. This shit is fuk'in ridiculous, go to sign up for the 11pm, not even 4 fuk'in minutes after 7pm and its full already! If that doesn't tell SBR we need extra spots or an extra tourney, somebody must have their head up their ass as usual!

Best of luck mpas, but this site listens to suggestions like the diarrhea that runs outta bobbypuss' mouth. Shit is still shit, just more of it that looks the same.

**bobbywaves** · 09-09-15, 09:37 PM

MikeSpamm, why you even play poker here? All you do is complain about free pts poker, doesn't get anymore pathetic than that. When were you ever relevant on the poker table, what have you ever accomplished here? I've never even seen your broke dikk on a World Cup team.

I actually swiped the last spot tonight. Purposely waited to register for 40th spot, as I knew you & Mpas are slaves to the grind & just getting home from work looking to register.

Need more tourneys. As it is it takes too much time.

**Optional** · 09-10-15, 09:33 AM

Does a 50 person tourney really take much longer than a 40 person?

We need more seats one way or another.

Going from 200 places per day down to 120 has made it hard to get a spot. Think I have only got in 4 days from the last 8.

**JoeyBagels** · 09-10-15, 09:52 AM

Of course a 50 person tournament takes longer than a 40 person tourney. The simplest solution is just to add another tournament at 9 PM EST. Numerous people have suggested it. The length of time it takes to finish a tourney now is fine as it is.

**Optional** · 09-10-15, 10:00 AM

I'd prefer a 10am or 11am if we add any new time slots.

**sam9ball** · 09-10-15, 10:17 AM

Guys I appreciate all the feedback concerning the Tournaments will take a look and give it some serious consideration.

As we repeatedly said, there was nothin broke with the 10am tourney. Filled almost every day. SBR ignored as usual

10am would be good.

**Codone69** · 09-10-15, 03:50 PM

Love to play that morning slot if it came back

**BigOrange** · 09-10-15, 04:06 PM

You could go to 60 players and pay out the same spots without lengthening the tournament by simply having the blinds increase quicker. More players could play, SBR doesn't have to dole out more points and if done properly, tournaments should end in 1-1.5 hours.

**mpaschal34** · 09-10-15, 04:19 PM

The tourney is structured (blinds) so that if you added 10 more players, it wouldn't lengthen it too much (probably 30 minutes). So a 2 hr tournament isn't too bad. Heck, I used to play those old bodog tourneys that would last 6 hrs if you made the final table.

And this is coming from a good Moderator here, who is having trouble getting a spot! Exactly Opti, it's not gonna add that much more time at all for 10 extra spots, considering all the bad fuk'in beats dealt out at this place. Of course it's gonna piss off fuk'in losers like bobbypuss, who might have to play an extra 10 minutes before he can shove his next greasy hamburger into his fat fuk'in ass!

Yep, feels good to work for a living, compared to your sorry fat ass whose only claim to fame is your fuk'in loser life you spend all hours at here! Wow, you purposely waited on the 40th spot huh? You're real big time dick face!

I'm surprised you can even grip a mouse with your fat fuk'in greasy sausage fingers!

**daneblazer** · 09-10-15, 05:17 PM

Add a 9pm

Keep flippin those burgers MikeSpamm, noble work you're doing there.

Meanwhile, I'll continue to relax & enjoy my retirement.

**Mr KLC** · 09-10-15, 06:06 PM

Sped home from work to try and get a spot, and tourney filled over 4 hours before it is scheduled to start. This can get old real quick.

**thechaoz** · 09-10-15, 06:09 PM

When I won my tourney it just over 2 hours with 40. Just add an additional tournament. increasing it to 50 or 60 might get it to the 2.5/3 hour mark which is way too much for a 5 daily tourney, season long series. Just add a 9/6pm and everything is solved

Pro tip guys. Chrome remote desktop. I play from my phone half the time

**playersonly69** · 09-10-15, 07:26 PM

adding 10 more players wouldn't increase the time that much since it is an extra table and people will be knocked out just as quick on each table. Another 10 players might add another 15 minutes max

**playersonly69** · 09-10-15, 07:28 PM

But this is crazy!! I missed out today as well, just add another 10 players. Maybe even 5 players to each tournament would do it/

Or how about this ONLY make the last tournament of the night unlimited entries. Then all of the other players know what to expect at least

You're going to give bobbywaves nightmares with that statement

I'm all for adding a 4th tournament.. preferably a morning one to cover different time zones. Maybe 11am, to go with 3pm, 7pm, and 11pm

Not for adding 10 more per tournament. It's all ready a crapshoot late in the tournament because blinds are so high, adding 10 more would make it even more luck based.

I use TeamViewer.. assuming it's the same concept. I've played on my phone before, not ideal but it works

**turtlejc** · 09-11-15, 01:54 AM

watching bobby and mike go back and forth is fukkin great

**Slanina** · 09-11-15, 02:12 AM

If there was any vote, I would be against adding 10 more players and keeping it at 40. But I'm all for adding a 4th tournament. I don't care what time slot. It just gives players more time frame options, and the additional 40 slots will give space for our Poker room to grow.

For example, new member signs up tomorrow and plays in a 50 person tournament his first two days and they take a combined 3- 3.5 hours. He only manages 250 points but still has to spend even more time to clear it... Does one think he'll stick around SBR poker? Highly unlikely.
Most players here are "old timers". As in they developed friendships and are used to seeing the same names at the tables. So they'll be here no matter what changes SBR poker makes.

Last year I convinced 3 friends to sign up when we ran 5 daily tournaments with better payouts. All 3 went pro within a month. Upon their renewal earlier this year after payouts decreased and tournaments were cut, none renewed. So now when i send them a text that Biteme rivered me for 11th place, it's awkward.

**Grivas_Digeni** · 09-11-15, 03:08 AM

People who ask for more tournaments - do you realize that more tournaments will lead to increased store prices, sooner?

People who ask for 50+ seats per tournament - do you know how much pain it is to play for even 1 hour on the mac software? Most of you have never sniffed a final table, let alone a win.

Here's a good solution that will push PRO conversions but is likely to be rejected by freeloaders:

Increase the buy in . Make it 30 pt entry. This gives you 1200 EXTRA points for each 40 man tournament. Add current prizes on top of that. Tournaments are still lucrative, but won't be filled by people who have no/little intention of playing, or no realistic chance to cash in the Grand Finale (such as thechaoz). SBR could even start charging rake!
