    Will SBR Poker boost membership?
    I believe SBR poker has the potential to increase membership here greatly. Depends on if it is any good and if promoted properly. Tons of us know alot of players that would love to play for free with our bankroll restocked daily as it is here if one posts. This is a big improvement over playmoney play and in a class of it's own. Simply let people know and they will come a running but I suspect no outside advertising. It would be good for SBR to at least have referral system for poker players by rewarding us with extra referral points. There is alot of female poker players and they will be sure to come too. Biggest problems that I am anticiapating is table size being dinky besides childly like BookMakers. Very slow play there also kills them for me but expect our play here to be on the fast side with the chips being free.

        I have a love hate relationship with this points system. On the one hand it's a great business since it's basically a huge referral funnel but on the other hand it brings out posters who point whore it up and add basically nothing at all to the forums. I would be pleasantly surprised if they one day decided to shut down the points system since it would clear 95% of the posters around here.

          I have some strong opinions on this topic but wont go into detail. I think it is a bad idea for a sportsbook review website to come out with SBR poker.
          This is a poster friendly website , have you witnessed what a bad beat can do in a poker game? Have you ever read chats in the higher stakes games. I think bringing poker to a sports website will/could increase begging, cause more poster to poster fueds, turn people off sports betting in some way, etc.
          Not saying I wont play it, I just think it can have some pretty nasty side effects.
          These are only my opinions so please dont hound me and tell me how stupid I am.

                      I think it's a good idea, it would be a lot of fun and make SBR grow.

                        SBR Poker is not worth it. Atleast in the SBR Sportsbook I can go throw my 7 points on a 10 teamer within 20seconds

                            I would defintly play but it would help SBR if they set up peramiters like the biggest buy ins offered could be 50 points or 100 points. The most you can buy in for at a cash table could be 25 points . Just so the points dont get outta control but ill sit my ass down and play poker with my points

                              I don't think a referral system is a good idea at all. It would definitely be abused pretty bad by some people, ruining it for the rest...

                              I am looking forward to this though!

                                Poker is going to be amazing if they decide to finally add it... feel much better blowing my points in a poker room than in the casino
