I asked Drew this question today. The payout structure isn’t going to change from how it has been the past two months.

that's what i was thinking, i wish they paid 10 though if you make final table it's nice to make something

[qwertvt]

I think at the very least, increase payouts. 8th should be something like 40 rather than 20.

I like paying 8 out of 50. It keeps about 30 of these Azzwipes from stalling and folding into the money on a regular basis. When the really bad players don't actually have to play a hand to cash, there is something wrong with the system.

I would be nice if the payouts were a little higher like some of the others said. Pay down to 50 for 8th place so at least they have a full buy-in at the .25/50 table.

Yes, keeping the same old total payout for the tourneys (2000) with the same # of places paid would be ideal I'd say. Paying 8/50 is not in of itself a bad thing - much more like usual poker and as Orange says, it's bad for the stallers and so forth compared to the old structure. That said, 20 points for 8th place is obviously rather disappointing, something like 650-450-300-225-150-100-75-50 would be terrific.

That said, I might be dreaming with this, hoping the old (total) payout structure returns - SBR obviously might not feel it's in their interest to do that. But I can hope!

[BigOrange]

My suggestion would be 450-300-225-175-125-100-75-50 for 1,500 points x 3 tournaments a day would be a good payout with tournament times at 3pm, 7pm, and 11pm EST.

Fine suggestion - of course I prefer the total old payout, but ok if SBR feels that it wasn't worth pouring that much into it like the old days - quite understandable. 1500 a tourney with payouts along the lines of what Orange mentioned would certainly be welcomed as well. Just hard to stay motivated currently with 20 points for 8th...

i thought new series was supposed to be announced this week?

Was autodonk at Lauberge last night? I saw someone who looked like you at the Elite rewards party

For some reason SBR feels offering Bitcoin to posters is more important. What I don't understand is why Bitcoin was priced so cheap?

SBR took our poker funds for Bitcoin? Why?

Well guys it was obvious that the payouts were NEVER going to go back to 600 for first when they first changed it. I said it from day one that it would never go back to what it was. And it wont, but that is OK. Plenty of other things to do at SBR other than play poker for pennies

Well aren't you the smart one, even SBR thought they were going back so not sure how it was so "obvious" to you. You must have experience with lip service here.

[playersonly69]

Think about it though, why would they go back? People still played just like always even at the lower price values. We needed people to actually boycott the whole thing

I think BitCoin is priced correctly by SBR.

Well based on pizza prices, $20 is worth 425 points, this $100 is worth 2125. So the $100 bitcoin value for 2600 points is not as good of a deal as the pizza

Most of the other $25 gift cards go for 520 points or 2080 points for $100

[playersonly69]

One thing for sure now is that it is much better to renew pro membership with a $100 donation than use 3000 points. Using the 3000 point math, it would be equivalent to around $145 to renew based on gift card purchase

I know.



I just didn't want to compare it. Because I don't want them to get any ideas and raise the cost of the gift cards. There's more of a chance that they raise the giftcard prizes than they lower the bitcoin price. Yao Ming.

buying bulk pizza cards they probably get a deal. probably even cost for them

Everyone should boycott weekend poker. since free poker for pros is falsely advertised. There's nothing free about weekend poker.
