    Maybe that is the intention, who knows. I know I'm probably not going to be spending 2 hrs a day, 5 days a week for a 10% chance of winning something very often.

    I have flipped maybe three times since joining SBR in 2009.

    When you see me playing Omaha on the weekends it is just me trying to rollover my bonuses that are 4 months old, and usually only 1 to 2 other players feel like playing when I decide to play on the weekends.

    SBR is like the WSOP, in that, once you toss your cards, you cannot see what cards you have. All other online sites, let you see the cards you folded by moving your mouse over the spot your cards are folded.

    The funnest thing about SBR poker when 12 got paid, was that it was like a turbo game. I could set my watch to one hour and 5 minutes. If I was still in the tourney after 1 hour and 5 minutes, I would be in the money. And that was with my 7 second timer that SBR gives me. Those were some nice freakin days. I would have monied way more games if SBR fixed their hand for hand routine. Not complaining, I'll just return to rolling over my existing 6000 points before they expire. I need the breather, SBR could have moved it to 5 paid a long time ago, then fewer of my points may have expired.

    Don't think I've played since Jan 2nd and really have no desire to play the tourney under its current format. I enjoyed the previous tourney and loved playing the ring games but every time I've checked, tables have been empty. It's a shame, not sure how I'll go about rolling over the poker points that I have.

    Hopefully it goes back to the old format after the WSOP promotion ends. And if it does the OP is going to look silly.

    Hey I quit poker after this new format but I have 1300 or so sitting there to rollover. If you want to flip let me know. I would rather get the points out than have them sit there.

    Hrm, my bad EB...don't spend much time at Omaha, just thought you were a flipper. The software does lack some niceties, but when running one table it doesn't really bother me, tkaes quite a few drinks to forget my cards these days. Cheers

    PS, I think a lot of us really miss the 9 PM time slot! I'm just getting off work at 7 PM EST and I'm in bed by 12 AM, so I can't really play in the 11 PM either.

    4th, 4th and 3rd this week and it's not even close to 1 first place finish. This is a fail.
