    We are counting on you

    Hey guys today kicks off Super Bowl week and we want to remind you that tomorrow the 1st poker tourney of the year gets underway. A few things of note. We are going to be monitoring this event very closely to see how we can improve the next poker event. We are excited to have this event and want you all to have a great time.
    Now we need to discuss the Flipping concern. Flipping is bad for the integrity of the game as mentioned and is not welcome in the poker community. We are asking you all to help us monitor this and please report any flipping that you see. We will then contact the people and address this as soon as we can. We are improving the events here in the forum and flipping is a concern of ours that takes away from poker. The poker community is a close knit group as are other areas of the forums, so we are asking you to not participate in any flipping.
    thanks

    The min cash strategists are going to be rolling over a lot fewer poker points since they can't actually play poker.

    If we are not suppose to rollover our poker points, what are they exactly for? SBR damn, that second question on the trivia, was hard, should of been number 3. I learned something today, though. That the Houston Rockets were considering Amar'e Stoudamire instead of Yao Ming. As a Suns fan I couldn't imagine life without Amar'e.

    Shady flipping is two players colluding to beat the play through requirements. You put an equal about into the pot and check down instead of playing the hand legitimately. Over time this counts towards your rollover and your poker points become real points.

    The site takes regular rake even when flipping.
    What's the problem?
    FTR I don't flip.

    May not be the most popular announcement to some guys but I’m glad to see SBR finally realizing that nonsense is bad for the game here and taking a stand. A bit ironic this decision is made when the new structure and payouts will keep most of the flippers from getting any new rollovers but better late than never. A+ Drew

    Agreed. I recently saw poster gauchojake on the 5 freeway and he flipped me off so I’d like to report him here as a stone cold flipper. Hopefully Drew can handle this swiftly.

    Sharpy I avoid the 5 like the herp unless I am on the way down to San Diego or up to Yosemite. But that was me. BOL.
    Points Awarded:

    SharpAngles gave gauchojake 4 Betpoint(s) for this post.

    Didn't even know that existed. It's hard to find a single player at a table, as is, I check regularly. Couldn't imagine 2 players counting on each other to meet at the tables to flip, let alone cash. Friendship Goals. But now that I think of it, it makes sense, one time I sat a table and the other 2 players left. The players with no AVI, I don't trust them, could be bots.

    Good to see SBR is ending flipping. It’s hard to rollover poker points when the tables are always empty.
