    Probably like 50 people max and pay 9 spots? Kindof defeats the purpose of higher buyins if you are just going to use some sort of socialist pay schedule...

    8min levels isn't a high roller tourny its a hyper turbo tourny. That alone turns me off a bit. Usually any casino you go to the "high roller tourny" has the best structure

    But there's no denying SBR is making changes (for the better). Good for you guys. Thanks.

    I've never heard an 8 minute orbit described as being hyper-turbo.

    We start you off with 2,500 chips in this tourney.

    2500 + 8mins should work ok with a small field.

    Guess it depends how many enter, how many have 100pts spare?

    8 minutes is no good and big advantage to better players, should be 12

    I'm with the group in favor of longer blind levels..

    Too bad I pissed away all my points.

    Guess I gotta make that free play from today's trivia count to get in this thing.

    10 or 12 minute levels would be better, but at least its not set at turbo level like most SBR tournaments.

    You asked for a higher buy-in, and we delivered. Now hop on in. =)

    8 minutes is fine.

    Turbos are 5 minutes.

    I will agree with this thought as well - Sundays are generally better days for me as well.

    Agree as well, too much shit go'in on Saturday. Sundays are easier to get in a tourney. Plus it gives some of these broke fuk's more time to win points on Sat. and make the entry fee on Sunday. I'm gonna try and make it though.

    Become A Pro!

    read the bottom of the app.. 5k max non pro to pro carryover - " After becoming SBR Pro, a Non-Pro whose balance exceeds 5,000 betpoints will be reset to exactly 5,000."

    For real Stash! Way to let Lucky but not Smart Chuck know what the deal is! Dude is just wasting real money! 3800 pts is at least 3 $50 gift cards. Unreal that somebody would have that many points and not turn pro already! You might as well start giving them away Chucky, 3800 of 'em anyway!

    ttwarrior, maybe you have never played in live tournaments, but 8 minutes online is no where near 20 minutes live.

    It is closer to 8 minutes online being like 1 hour of a live tournament.



    Most of your major live tournaments have 90 minutes or 120 minute levels

    So now that there's more than 50 entries, does that increase the prize pool? I'm confused.

    edit: nevermind!

    Can someone loan me 1... ONE... point?

    I forgot about the +1 part and have the rest tied up in the sportsbook for the night. I'll give you 6 points back at midnight.
    Points Awarded:

    no1here gave astro61200 1 SBR Point(s) for this post.
