    sam9ball, is SBR still considering to raise the buy-in to 20-30 betpoints for dailys?

    I keep reading threads where people are unhappy because they can't get into a free roll tournament. They can't commit to a schedule. They **have a life**. They wish it was still 2003 and fish just gave their chips away.

    So my suggestion would be this.

    Make non-pros pay 20-30 pts per tournament. Make pros pay 10-20 pts per tournament. Add the extra points to the prize pool. Either make every payout larger or add extra points as bounties. Those are always fun and they keep tournaments short.

    Forecasted outcomes?

    Tournament prizes double and SBR may have to give away less points per tournament (collect tournament rake already!)

    More PRO conversions because there is demand for **more tournaments** which means people will be willing to convert to be able to afford them

    No more bit.hing on the forum. Maybe this one is a stretch lol

    As a non-pro (temporarily) I am totally against this.

    Quandary.

    As a non pro (with no real intentions of becoming a pro) I would not mind paying a little extra for a tourney. I also would not mind if payouts were a little less for non pros. I play tourneys because I love to play poker and its a great way to kill an hour or two after work and talk a little shit.

    That said, ring games need to go back to what they were. Impossible to find a non pro game. I have given up looking.

    What do you mean 'paying'? as a non-pro and no intention of becoming one, your points are worthless, you are not 'paying' nothing.
    So what you are actually saying is you don't mind having your worthless points being deducted.
