    Sit N Goes

    I was wondering why there isn't any like SNGs on the poker client. There should be like 200+20 ect 6 - 9 person tourneys that would auto start when the max people regged, and the points won could be a required roller over too.

    Anyone ever bring this issue up?

    lol, sure we had SNGs before. lol if ghosts and non-pro SBRs had not scammed betpoints, we would still have had SNGs.

    lol back then, when non-pros were able to redeem points for gift cards and all stuff in the store...lol you can imagine people did everything to scam points...lol creating ghost accounts to accumulate points, then did chip-dumping at poker tables...lol that's why they let you as a non-pro buy in ring games with only tourney winnings lol... people come into your threads and tell you to go SBR Pro, because some(or most) of non-pro win prizes but don't turn SBR Pro, then those prizes would be wasted lol.

    I played the SNG fridays ALL day and never recall any ghosts whatsoever. I can name most that played regularly. There wasn't enough interest in them so they stopped having them. They tried to have them again on Sundays between like 1-5 I believe but again not enough interest in them so they shut it down.

    They should still just leave them on the client, they automatically start and create themselves anyway, so if one would que up it would, if not oh well, doesnt cost them much to run them, and they would be able to rake more betpoints

    We should start a petition to bring them back

    personally i think with points tournaments work better then cash, id probably play a sit n go every now and again if they had em for decent buy ins.

    I think as many players we have right now playing tournaments that SNGs would do alot better than they did before. When they first had them there were only about 10-12 of us that regularly played throughout the Fridays that they ran. I believe the 2nd attempt was just bad timing being a 4 or 5 hr window on a Sunday.

    What 4-5 Hour window on Sunday? The whole point of it being a SNG is that it starts when people want to play, not scheduled mini tourneys.

    when they brought them back for the 2nd attempt, they had them open between like 1-5pm on Sundays. They ran normal, just only for a few hrs each Sunday

    SNG's failed here. They were a ton of fun, but the people interested in playing them didn't have enough points to continuously play. It was basically a small cliche of players who would end up trading points with each other over n over again till enough of us went broke from Rake that there weren't enough to have SNG's.
