Is SBR poker worth it anymore?

[dlowilly]

I see they have kept the spring schedule and payout for the dailies

Bigger fields with much lower prizes and less places paid, and still infested with poker onlys

Oh well what can u do, see u at the tables I guess

[frankzig]

payout should be
500
200
100

They haven't announced what the new contest will entail, don't jump to conclusions. Yes they kept the old structure for now in the interim period but we don't know if that will be the case when the new series starts. I obviously hope it goes back to the old structure, but obviously their choice and their priorities don't necessarily mesh with mine. Guess we will see!

Jumping to what conclusions? He simply stated facts.

I have to ask one question, with payouts drastically dropped, the number of payouts dropped from 12 to 8, only three games per day ; lets face it, we are not winning nearly as much as we used to ! Incentives have diminished..... Don't you think they should lower the fee or donation needed to become a pro. It truly takes a lot to get 3000 now days !!! Something to think about !!!! I am just saying !

[ArunSh]

Unless I'm missing something they have not yet announced the format of the new contest (along with the dailies that go with it). Maybe it will change from the last one - we do not know yet. All those months last year when we had no contest they merely kept the same daily format that they had had prior. That may be what they are doing now - merely maintaining the same daily format we had prior until they announce/begin the new one. Until it's officially announced to be the same daily format in the new contest, seems a bit premature to claim that it isn't changing.

SBR is dynamic in its approach to Contests, Events, Daily offerings, and all of the content we provide. Having the same old events is not the direction we are going. We have already surpassed last years offerings YTD and fully expect that we will do the same going forward for the rest of the year. There are many avenues of SBR that you can engage with other opportunities. The Spring Poker Event was one of the best we have had in awhile. The next Event currently in discussions will again be very exciting and enjoyable for those who play.

Great post drew! I like the comment about not having "the same old events". Having fresh formats and so forth is a good way to keep the community more invigorated - no question. I too liked the general formatting of the Spring series. Yes obviously would have much preferred the dailies stay in same format as they used to be (who wouldn't), but ok it's easy for people to find fault/complain when they are trying to spend other people's $. And the weekend events that you have added have been great, no question.

[Hugh Madbrough]

SBR DREW...I think it's only fair, that if you reach the final table you should get something, i mean it's the final table. Maybe even the graphics should change for the final table like WPT does.

Drew the format for the final was top notch. With the blind structures like they were it was more skill oriented as opposed to the all in fest that typically occurs. Those who did revert to the luck box poker they’re used to playing (I could be wrong but didn’t someone mention 1 “player” lost 50k in chips in 2 hands) were rewarded accordingly.

With regard to the “diminished numbers” I believe 189 players were on the final list. How many players has SBR lost? I’d say not many.

Keep up the great work!

[SBR Drew]

We appreciate the feedback always ... as mentioned we will announce this week the next Event.

.. sorry computer issue

[blankoblanco]

Guys, please stop sucking Drew's dikk. It's embarrassing. Everyone here knows that SBR's become greedier and taken away more value from all the promotional stuff. You're making yourself look really pathetic

[firekillex]

long story short ... NO
why would you play 2 hours to get 20 points lollll
used to love sbr poker here , great community and fun times but playing for such little points its not even worth the time tbh
goodluck to everybody who keeps playing , but ill be retired until the old format is back


i remember reading a post saying SBR poker 2018 would be the best yet, but imo its the worst ive ever seen it since playing
hopefully things can turn around, every table i was on during this entire promo people were saying theyd rather normal dailies and no promos at all then have promos like this.... food for thought

[Enkhbat]

One suggestion I have is if they are gonna keep the current format of paying 8 spots and 800 points, at least please bring back the 10 am and have 4 daily tournaments rather than 3. 10am, 3 pm, 8pm, 11pm

The structure is tied to the spring series guys...

SBR drew How can we ever believe anything you say after you lied about the format going back after the Event was over and are trying to sweep it under the rug now. Less talk more action in the future. Fool me once...

[firekillex]

Unretire now, pizza ain't free biatch and I need motivation to win that pizza pizza

ill love you forver UK and frank <3
but with this format i just dont care enough to play 2 hours to get peanuts, the old format with 30 players and top 12 was actually fun and profitable now its just an all in shove fest then 15 people playing tight as a teens vajeen.... hopefully SBR will just go back to the poker everybody loved and ill be back

until then win some pizza #ibelieveinyou
ps ready player one was sweet 3D

Regarding poker feedback... I know a couple guys who won't get involved with poker for a couple of main reasons which include: the length of time to win a daily and/or being unable to play SBR poker on phone/ipad. If at least one of those issues was addressed, they'd be more inclined to play. Lugging the laptop into bed with the wife or having to go into a separate room than the rest of the family to sit at the pc isn't an option for those with wives/families.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Hey Drew. Fuk all these complaining mother fukkers. A free poker site and people still bitching. Don’t do another fukin promotion & keep the games the same. Everyone was so pissed at the last promo that at least 189 played.

What a bunch of ungrateful fuks

[thechaoz]

First time I didn't play (hence not qualify) since the inception of it.

It probably wasn't "worth it" before but once they cut the dailies I could make more money selling used socks on CL (and did)

I got back to playing more on ACR, bodog, carbon, ignition, 888,party, wsop, etc and have never been happier.

It's funny because most the sites the players are worse so I have to adjust.

They need to bring the dailies back to normal payouts because that's where most "make their money"

We're not ungrateful. We pay for pro status, buy things from the store at a premium, view ads and give website traffic which helps sbr change advertisers. There are many more things such as the book

That's just bs rheoric

I didn't once. I've qualified for every contest since it was created. The biggest problem was the massive drop in daily points. Just my two cents

They aren't making an app I'll tell you now. They could make the turbos? Idk

people always say giving negative feedback is complaining, sad to see you cant have a normal conversation that doesnt involve sucking mods off ... the poker format is trash.. every person is thinking it whether theyre posting it here or not, on every table ive been on multiple people agree or are talking about it... people PAY to be pro here and many people go pro to play poker, if they keep the format/payouts the way they are i wouldnt be surprised if multiple people stop playing and dont reup their PRO status

[mpaschal34]

[TheMoneyShot]

The new point structure won't change. Either deal with it... or quit.

I basically quit.

Technically it’s not a free site but it’s not expensive either.

I believe after the contest, you quantified SBR betpoints.

Great Job Drew

With Bitcoin for US Players 3rd place the equivalent of about $380.

Poker is a selling point used by SBR for non-pros to fork over a $100.

Ad revenue derived from the SBR devoted is unknown.


I think asking whether poker is worth it is a legitimate question.

I enjoy playing so I will continue.


If poker winnings are your only source to renew PRO status, I don’t think it is worth it.

People are always trying to determine whether being a PRO is +/- EV. Typically it’s done by another as a means of an insult but it’s done nonetheless.

One thing is for sure, you have really ingratiated yourself with Drew after this event.

Let people share their thoughts without taking it personally, after all, Drew can take care of himself.

Learned a new word!
thanks

[mpaschal34]

I won’t get too involved in this debate as I will probably play either way as I’ve got nothing better to do in the evenings on most nights. However my observation is that about 8 people are really happy with the latest promo because they won good prizes. The rest are unsatisfied and rather all that prize money/points be paid out in the daily’s so they can grind out a +EV scenario.

I have to agree, I’m a fan of the no promo and old payout structure if we have to make a decision going forward (if you can’t have both).

[darrell74]

I quit as soon as they changed.
Not worth the 6 points when i would rather save it for the sportsbook.

I'm not complaining.
It was free, anyways.
I'm not some Bernie Sanders Democrat that's ungreatful for free shi+

fwiw

Most people would rather have the daily format that existed before this Spring Poker Event (forget the one time crap shoots, don't have any "big finale tournaments" if you want to save money). IMO it was not in any way shape or form the best SBR has had in a while. The current course will dry up the poker on SBR, if that is the goal then you are succeeding.

Sorry I wasn't as eloquent as you with regard to my position here.....was also busy responding to troll BI SLICK GUY in another thread so I apologize for my crudeness......I don't see a point in getting all upset over a poker promo that in my eyes is free....the hundy I give is a donation and I can still play if I don't donate......with the advent of all the other contest here plus SBR's social media popularity, in my opinion points have to be spread around a bit.......funny you didn't responds to the poster who basically called drew a liar

[Auto Donk]

Oh well what can u do, see u at the tables I guess

no, it's a total fukkin joke....

payouts are pitiful....

totally not worth playing for....

it was bad enough wasting up to an hour and a half to win 30 bucks before the change, now you're req'd to play an hour and 45 minutes for the chance at a $14 first place, or perhaps a $7 second place.....


weakass shit
