    congrats on the 20k points, pokerdummy

    if only SBR would put as much time into accurate reviews of sportsbooks...........and protecting the players that dumb millions of dollars into SBR sponsered books a year............as they do hosting poker tourneys for points we'd have something.

    The format was much better at the end

    I'd recommend less starting stacks and slow blinds down after the first break

    Congrads on your 4th place finish. Good idea on slower blinds afyer the break or at some point.

    Also, the slow play especially when the field got to 26/27 is going to be addressed. I dont think the timer needs to be as long as it is.

    I agree. Much better format all around for this one. Thanks for that.

    Idea for next one...

    Make the standings mean something. Starting chip count in the championship could be decided by place in the final standings. i.e You could start at a 3K chip count for the bottom satellite winners and progressively upward to a 12K starting chip count for the top player.

    I agree that there should be slower blinds after first break. But please, please, please do not lessen the timer, we need an extra time button sometimes.

    Respectfully, the problem is that there is no hand-for-hand during bubble/FT scenarios. This is standard in every tourney and it eliminates the effectiveness of stalling.

    Thanks!

    Good ideas. And while I think longer blinds late are a good idea, 30 minutes might have been pushing it. Personally I would do something like 10 minute levels, 15 minute levels after first break, and then 20 minutes after second break until tourney ends. But whatever you think is best - clearly this tourney had a ton more play than last one which is a very good thing.

    Yes, hand for hand play I agree should be added in (to all tourneys honestly), the stalling that occurs when people get close to the $ or next pay level is really insane sometimes. Probably with two people left til the $, next pay level, FT etc. it should be instituted, that would help a lot.

    I don't agree with lowering the timer being a good idea though - there are times when you really do need it all. Just unfortunate that people use that as a stalling tactic also.

    Again, thanks very much SBR - these are fantastic, whatever the structure might be!

    About timer and stalling try to do it like big poker houses are doing which is extra time bank. Usually every person gets 10-30s at start of tourney and every hour additional 30-60s (depends how deep is tourney). If you do that you can easily lower basic time for decision for 5s. And also they have hand for hand for bubble(s).

    i think just eliminate the satellites myself would be the best move. make it top 50 only.

    Thanks,

    I gave all the points back to you though...although I did lose a 90,000 point parlay by 1 fukkin point

    I was a bit too drunk to notice we were even at the bubble so couldn't really tell about slowplaying. I don't remember anything after the first hour...Hand for hand and timebank are needed, but who knows the budget on this.


    I think the qualifiers were set up fine, but I'd change it up in every tournament next year (world cup 10 make it, no satellites. have a tourney like this where 35 can satellite, have one where only a real small percent can satellite in, etc).

    I do think rollover should be alot higher than 3x. Guys only rollover their points then Sbrpoker is left sitting there empty.

    Main thing I would like to see is the guys that win the most in QUALIFYING ONLY tourneys for the full year (not each series) receive points for that. It rewards great play and dedication to be here all the time. Some of those guys were here nonstop and ended up getting killed by variance in 1 or 2 main tourneys.


    so on that list of top 2012 tourney winners, I'd like to see "x" amount of points given away to the top 10 or so (having a 6-10x rollover instead of 3x would easily pay for it). on no site is it this easy to rollover bonus cash in poker.

    Rudy, you should have never been in that tourney. Wasn't it you who said you would be gone for rest of the year?
