    What is next Poker promo?

    Some guys have been asking about it.

    I think the World Cup was pretty good. The various teams really got into it.

    Agree w/ that. Poker has truly become pennies on the hour.

    I do like the idea of periodic tournaments. It's fun to feel like you're qualifying for the tournament.

    And then, if u make the tournament...you have a chance to play in the Big Dance. Right now to January 1 would be a reasonable qualifying period.

    What did the old payout structure pay? I didn't play much before and only vaguely recall.

    I stopped playing in the tournaments partly because of the payout structure change. This has led me to play much less in general and sadly a lot of my poker points expired before I got to roll them over. SBR poker is now dead to me unless they offer something good.

    I think we all know the old format isn't coming back. So hopefully there is 3 promos per year.

    They will never pay 600 points to win again or 2000 total points per tourney

    Did someone say on here that they used to pay even more than 600 at one point?

    not even worth playing unless they go back to old format or a good promo is going tbh

    when its down time with no promos and this pay format wouldnt even waste my time to play for peanuts

    GL to all though , if they just canned promos and went back to old format for dailies it would be the same points total given most likely

    They should give points like 2000 points for 4 of a kind using both cards. Maybe 15,000 for a Royal Flush and 5000 for a straight flush where you play both cards


    That might get some posters playing the live action

    Imagine if the software built in Bonus payouts on the board. How cool would it be to see the cash thrown on the table?

    Would also be cool if the software threw out "Rounders" quotes on big hands. "He trapped me!"

    They did have a Royal Flush bonus at one point. Was worth 1500 points. Both whole cards must be used and it go to showdown. I never get the damn thing. I got my first one like 3 weeks ago after nearly 10 years on here lol

    Drew says that next promo will be announced Monday! Good news on that. Not sure I've ever gotten a royal in all my time here, despite playing a ton of omaha where they are of course much more common.

    There is no BTB this year so hopefully they are putting that money or some of it towards the poker promo that is supposed to be announced.

    Triathlon was good. They had it two years, at least. I vaguely remember the 2nd year they didn't make the BJ portion equal to the poker/capping. Made it worth less points overall.

    Yeah, I really liked the Triathlon since it combined sports, poker, and casino - kind of a true test of how good an "overall" gambler the person in question is. And SBR has stuff dedicated to all three pursuits so having a contest which tested your mettle in each of the three disciplines was a great idea I felt.
