    The Empty Poker Site

    Going to an empty poker site reminds me of how it used to be to walk into an empty pool hall years ago ! You walk over to the tender and ask, Hey BIG SAL, where are all - a- da boys tonight !! Just then a motion in the far corner of the room catches your eye. As the smoke clears from a big fat cigar, the face of "Tony The Hustler" (the real urban Hustler) appears. (Yeah, he has a scar across his cheek) Real mean looking dude !!! As he stands up chalking his fancy two piece cue stick, he says, RACK EM GUMBA !!! you know you can't beat him, but you know you can't leave; The neighborhood would hear for sure !!!!
    Has anyone seen Tony The Hustler sitting alone at the Poker Tables just waiting for a Gumba ????? "Be-ware" Just kidding of course

    Yep, just looked at the poker tables. Not a soul. Used to be one person there, even if they were a sitout.

    That is the issue. After a while who wants to play for points. Unless I am missing something. Are the points worth any value for anything? If they are then that would be different. But if they are not it's just hard to stay motivated to play them I think. Can someone tell me if the points have any value?

    yeah thy are worth stuff if your a sbr pro which is $100 then for every 3,200 ruffly is worth about $100 in Giftcards.and for every 450 you can turn in for a $20 pizz giftcard.so it can be profitable if you can win at poker and pick winners

    It's bad. . I've only played like 4 tourneys and I used to play daily.

    Today I spent 2 hours and got 7th for 0...UNLESS you win the Wsop seat it's not worth the time. Even 2nd place isn't worth the time.

    They need to fix something or run additional dailies

    SBR got what it wanted. Offer a promotion that draws some interest while killing cash outs related to poker. No cash games = less pay outs.

    Another night of losing back to back hands as a 80 percent favorite which is 4 percent.

    It's just not worth the time. Chilling with the kiddo or I wouldn't of played.

    Thats just the nature of poker. Bad beats happen but you have to get some sort of reward for playing that overshadows whatever stress/disappointment you get from playing. ...in this contest only one person is getting that.

    It's a ticket to the main event or bust. Lord help the poor guys in 2nd-3rd place. Not many players will experience that kind of disappointment in their poker careers.

    I'm playing more on my subscription poker website now. I preferred SBR, but not enough tourneys, and no traffic. I work for a living, with a family, so I miss the 3 and 7 o'clock tourneys. Have registered for the 11 o'clock ones, but I fall asleep before they start, half of the time, because I have to be at work the next morning. That's why I enjoyed the option of having the 9 o'clock time slot. I really preferred the 4am slot they had a few years ago, because I'm traditionally an early morning guy. If this new system works for SBR, great, but unfortunately, I'm not going to be involved too often. I love the site, but its' not worth adjusting my life, and rest, for it. Good luck guys!
