      Quit your fukking crying about not being able to flip at the Granny game and play a real game.
      Ohhh that hit a nerve lol. Please post some real results of these big games you are beating. And please dont mention SBR ring to me again like you are some one special. Sweep I dunno what u laughin about scrub. I can prolly post bigger online winnings then you both combined and I wouldn't start beating my chest over "breaking a long 3 hr sbr ring game session". Get over yourself no one cares.

        I beat the 1/3 game regularly at MGM National Harbor not that matters to anyone here. I play there 1-2 times per week.

          Like I'm not tryin to take shots at you man but if you wanna start making comments to me like im some little kiddy poker player when quite frankly you don't know a thing about me. I don't know if the idea of beating the lowest stakes cash game and your local hole in the wall casino gives you the idea you can throw stones at some one else is real funny to me. And yeah I needled you about your post how you "broke" the game cause it was funny. I'm not here to offend anyone but please don't start that petty stuff with me.

            I didn't take it as you taking shots at me and I don't care what any of the "Poker" players here think. There are at least 2 dozen posters here that have played live with me and/or been with me while I have been playing live. at various casinos. I played 5-6 tables at a time online at 5/10 and 10/20 for years before I had almost $50k stolen from me. Once I retire, I will play full-time again and at higher stakes.

            What frustrates me about SBR Poker is that there used to be several good players that weren't nits. Now there are no really good players left and almost everyone here is a nit. Buy in at the minimum or close to it. Roll over most of their rollovers at the hi/lo granny game because they are trying to reduce their risk on fukking 50-300 rolls. It's pathetic when you compare it to what Poker used to be like here.

            If that offends you and some of the others, I don't really care.

                TBH I respect your opinion about the ultra tight play here but I mean it dosen't really matter cause as a whole its just dead or dying, thats why I commented about the ring games. Was basically pointing out that the OH8 tables are gone and its not helping the action here. Im not offended at all, I've never even met a poker player who dosen't win live or used to beat high stakes lol. Some how everyone is a winner, cmon you know this is true. Not saying you are lying because literally no one would use beating a 1/3 game as proof that they are any good at poker.

                I really only open the tables while i'm grinding other games online nowadays and ya really just tryin to roll a couple points and fill a little screen space if I have it. really have no interest in grinding some short handed game for long or even at all. Not sure how much glory there is in being king of the hill here but I guess someones gotta do it.

                        i agree with you bud,the days of Bite trip d tattady miller and many others are gone.
                        This is the new and improved SBR poker, that has a different direction . I do not make the rules, I just follow them as long as they make sense.
                        GL and I hope one day when I visit vegas again , see you

                            5/10 ran regularly

                            I think half of those players turned stiffs in the betpoints forum and disappeared

                              Are you talking about black friday with Full Tilt balance? Ultimate Bet balance? I had close to $30k on UltimateBet and $50k which was mostly backers funds on FTP and received every penny from both sites. I played on every site pre black friday and still play on all USA facing sites today so I'm curious which site you had funds stolen from you. The only site that funds could not be recovered from were JetSet which ran away with every cent.

                                  Now that I think about it, there's a big correlation between the 10am daily tournaments being taken away and the death of ring games

                                    That was before Stars and Party grew in popularity so if he was 5-6 tabling 1k and 2kNL it was probably 2003 onward.

                                      Because we had fish like thecentaur spewing 1000s of chips a day and fun guys like biter, trip and tatddy to BS with while we tried to get them. If you’re going to grind pennies you need some entertainment or it’s just not worth it.

                                      They should shut down the RO program and limit cash games to point buyins. That way there will be at least a few real players and way less freeloading risk free flippers.

                                        Too many nits at hi lo; Disgusting!
                                        I am sure we will be back if they eliminate hi lo and do only PLO and NLH, then you will see some serious action.

                                          Noble idea, but you know if they do that, the games will be 99% dead rather than 80% dead as they are currently....

                                            if poker points were just straight betpoints with no roll you wouldnt be able to find an open seat.....the rake would offset the loss for sbr
