    Poker games weekend edition

    We will add the two events one for Sat at 9pm and the other at 2am Sun morning every week. Are there any other timeframes that would interest you guys for more poker on weekends?

    More good tourneys whatever the time is great! More chances, more points, it's all fantastic!

    I would personally vote for bringing back the Sunday rebuy tourney which we used to have every Sunday a few years ago, and I think many would agree - that was by far the most popular tourney SBR had overall. But anything that is added to give more opportunity/fun is good!

    The most popular time slot for the weeklies was always 10am ET for years. Because it covers from afternoon in Europe to about 1am at the end of the world in New Zealand. And lots of west coast people liked playing before work.

    I think it was dropped one year when we had regular software issues and there was not enough time to get it fixed after people started work in office.


    Anyway, that would be a very popular timeslot if you add one then. Think you may be surprised by the response it would get.

    In case this isn't a typo, let's have a 7-9pm on a Sunday too. ET, of course

    How about tourneys every 3 hours, everyday. This way, no one can complain. Thank you for all you do whoever you are.

    Great to see this be a weekly thing. I'm a night owl on the west coast so the late night Saturday/early Sunday morning tourney is perfect for me.

    Yes! Please bring back the re-buy tourneys. They were quite popular!

    Could you clarify what the format is for the second tournament? Someone above said rebuy, but I don't see that mentioned anywhere. Is it just straight 12 point buyin? Whatever it is, looks good, just some clarification on the exact format would be appreciated!

    Is either tournament rebuy? I didn't see prizes move as players are adding so 250 is going to be the top prize on Saturday regardless of entries?

    One has fixed poker point prizes, the other has a percentage of the pool plus poker points as an overlay.

    No clue what you guys are talking about with a rebuy.

    Hit info on the tourney page to see the structure.

    Yes I didn't see that anywhere myself, but someone above posted it claiming that it was a rebuy - that's why I wanted clarification.

    I think the rebuy has been scrapped forever. It was listed for about 6 weeks as a rebuy when you couldn't actually rebuy and I don't think they could ever fix it.

    Yes I was crazy enough to get it all in with AK against the Kid's A4.

    Lesson learned!

    Kinda crazy, a 2am Sat/early Sunday tourney. I'm pretty much drunk by then, lol. Can we still get something going for later in the afternoon or evening on Sunday? Thanks
