Lou and John. Thanks for listening and accepting feedback. You guys are pros.

[RudyRuetigger]

yes, very nice change here

i appreciate the regular qualifying being free entry for pros...but any tourney whether its this saturday tourney or the sunday high roller, i see no reason why sbr has to guarantee a prize pool above what is entered.

[MC PICKS]

Your charging vig on the rebuys and add ons, lol? Ive played 1000 rebuy tournies online and live and ive never seen that, if you guys ever wanna learn how to run a tourney correctly shoot me a PM, i used to floor poker and know how to do it right, dealt for a decade and floored for another 6 years. No wonder you restructured it, you werent raping enough points from the players, lol. Ask any poker player that plays tournies regularly and they will tell you that the house never takes money on the rebuys and add ons, only on the initial buy in, and if they have played tournies like that then they're suckers, lol.

[MC PICKS]

Geez just read the other thread and saw you werent gonna put all the rebuy and add on money in the prize pool, like previously stated you need a tournament director.

[RudyRuetigger]

SBR is very generous with their poker points

Technically speaking, you are right and I missed that. SBR needs to look here:

Rebuys are not charged a rake. So if a rebuy tournament has a buy-in of $10+$1, then the rebuys will usually be $10 and all $10 of each rebuy will go into the prize pool. The prize pool and payoffs will not be announced until the rebuy period ends, since the prize pool increases with each rebuy.

Like I said, if I was SBR I wouldn't really offer a guarantee in the weekend tournies ever.

In this instance, I think they were in a hurry with poster, trivia, sportsbook, etc etc etc complaints they jumped over this slight detail as did I and some of the others.

I am going to play, but this is the first site that I have ever seen that takes 10% out of each rebuy and addon

[LUCKYCHUCK]

sounds interesting. hope i have time to play

[JAKEPEAVY21]

thanks for listening to our input, Lou and John

[SBR Lou]

You got it. Always appreciate all feedback.

It's probably also the first site you've seen that spends more than $30K a year on pizza for their members, who use their virtual log-in points to order them.

Making a mere 5 point profit per rebuy/add-on is fair for the house. This isn't Poker Stars.

[mp5070]

Thank-you, Lou and John.....Another nice poker tournament...

Well I forgot about Pizzas. I havent ordered any ever I can say that. But I did get a few gift cards come to think of it. I am playing either way as I actually really like rebuy tournaments.

Thanks Lou, John and Sbr for adding another great Tourney toall the
other ones we already have
I don't understand that we always have a few Guys that find a way
to complain and whine. I am looking at your RESUME and say BIG DEAL
SBR certainly don't need Guys like you to help them
You joined SBR, play Poker, get great incentives with free Points ( Money )
Gifts and have the support from SBR and all the other Guys in the Forum,
and what does it realy Cost you DICK, so you should go back and deal or
back on the Floor and be a TOURNEY ORGANIZER
I suggest you just enjoy what you got here at SBR and be happy

How bout mind your own fukking business jerkoff, nobody asked you. I dont give a shit how many fukking pizzas they gave away, the point is that no where else has anyone ever charged vig for rebuys and add ons, if there gonna run poker tourneies they might as well not do it right and not half assed.

im not bitching and whining.

i dont plan on playing any rebuys now or in the future. i could give a fukk if sbr wants to take 70% of the prize pool in rake.

personally im just fine with having the high roller pay 150% and this one pay less than 100% but im only stating the fair thing


i think sbr should have left it the other way so we could see how many ignorant posters we have.

I've seen live tournaments were it happens (where they just take a fix percentage of the total buyins) and think the WSOP did this when they still had rebuy events...

While it isn't the norm online the format is better then previous set-up and when you consider where the points are generated from, the true value of points in things such as cash games in comparison to online sites that jackup the rake percentage on lowest stakes games and tournaments, and the fact that almost every tournament has been either free or has had added money personally I can find better things to worry about then a few extra points in fees on my rebuys...

I agree its set up better now cause it was really half assed before, but instead of fixing it completely they went and fukked up someting that was already correct. If this tourney was for real money and they charged vig on rebuys and add ons, nobody would play, well no one who wasnt a complete donk anyway.

I must have missed the anouncement when they put you
in charge of who can voice their opinion about what Guys
write in Poker Threads. I thought it was every Poker Players
business and right to say what they feel about Tourneys
the Game in itself, time schedules etc.
calling me names shows your true Personality and makes me
wonder if I am dealing with a person thats not to bright
Pizza is not even a big Issue here, but I guess you missed
all the other Freebies and Promos that I mentioned also
you must have missed all the other positive Posts since
this new Tourney was announced I guess you know more than
the rest of us and by the way I will keep in mind to asked you
first if I decide to Post anything from now on and asked your
Permission

You wanna post something then fine, when you direct it me in your quote then be prepared to be told to shut the fukk up when your stick your nose where it dont belong, speaking of of not too bright, pure geniuses use the tongue emoticon, loser. What are you fukking 5?

[mikejamm]

Yeah I won't be fuk'in playing either! A bunch of god damn coin flips that only seem to work out if your name is sbr john or some lucky big mouth asshole like frizzelli! From 2/13 to 2/26 this clown wins (4) 1st places, a 3rd and a 4th in the regular nightly tourneys. Most of them on bullshit calls and lucky coin flips! Call it variance if you want, but there is none here if you've got any real poker chops. All you need to do is run your mouth like frizzelli or fuk with people on tables you're trolling at, like playersonly69 does, and the system rewards you. Way to run a poker operation sbr.

[Carseller4]

SBR will make out like a bandit on this one.

Maybe they will loosen up the casino afterwards.

[ttwarrior1]

i need 50 betpoints loan or stake, can't use what i got, i owe that for fantasy baseball and nascar league

[Jimmy Proffett]

Only 48 more TT!

[ttwarrior1]

il return your 1 pt, 2 min to get in, i asked at the tables, they all said no,

Already joined a fantasy baseball and nascar league and have to pay the pts by tommorrow

For some reason i expect some to push all in with junk and rebuy about 20 times

[Hankwins]

Man i pushed it too hard i casino! I woke up after heavy partying, oreded a pizza, cracked a beer. logged into SBR and paid secretstash 2 point and took the 4 to the casino not very optimistic, just put it all on the line each time 4,8,16,32,64 then 50,100 unreal i was upto 500, so i log onto poker and see the rebuy tourney starting in 5 minutes. i figure i'll play one more 100 point hand,lost and just made a foolish decision to keep playing and lost my windfall in 500 hands. Just thought I'd share the story 4 points to 500 points.

[Hankwins]

not 500 hands 5 100 point hands! lol

[no1here]

Extremely stupid! booted me within 5 secs or so, trying to read the hogwash in front of me

[yisman]

hank, so you didn't buy in at all? Why not buy in and just keep playing blackjack with the rest?

[k13]

QQ vs JJ

River J

80/20 is somehow 20/80

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Got sucked out twice with higher pairs for huge allins, and still made 2nd, sweet :-)

[Reload]

Nice tourney today guys! As usual the secret for me was just reload-ing, reload-ing, and more reload-ing!
