    Yeah Id rather they keep it but it would be nice being able to play Monday through Thursday with a game running. Maybe they could introduce Stud or maybe even Pineapple which is like Holdem but with 3 cards and you discard a card on the flop.

    I like it now, but if not for the rollover factor, not sure I would have ever bothered to learn enough to keep some points.


    I suspect no holdem ring game play, which everyone knows how to play, is one reason we don't attract many new players.
    I only play it because its the only show going when I seem to want to play. People seem to like it for rollover purposes.

    If people are so bored of holdem how come no one plays Omaha High and just sticks to high low?

    I think you'll be surprised how many of us play without a rollover. I played yesterday with normal points. Weird.

    If so many people like it than should just keep it than.

    If SBR truly wants to encourage mad action make Poker Points expire every Sunday night at midnite, if you don't play them they disappear. Then alternate weeks of game availability, one weekend nothing but Hold Em, the next only Omaha High, the next only Omaha Hi/Lo.

    Lol - after that then get software that supports Badugi, 2-7 Triple Draw and Razz
    WOw, you are going to be hated if that happens.

    But it might just be the best answer to activity.

    Yep agreed, I'd love to see Pineapple added.

    Can we just change these as soon as possible? Playing 1 hour and half only to bubble in 6th isn't appetizing. No leaderboard anyway with prizes so wouldn't be affecting anything.

    Personally, I think your poll shows enough people do not want the change to do it mid promo. Plus its only a couple more weeks now.

Your just wasting your time playing more. Id imagine the lower the blind levels the more people would play. People don't want to waste their time playing for so little.

    One thing is for sure, the majority of poker people on here want to play the least amount of time possible,

    and also have the least amount of rollover possible, so they can cash in the most points possible for BT-C.

    People pay the $100 per year and then try to make all the money that they possible can during the year of Pro.

    Not that any of that is a bad thing either, but there is no use in putting it any other way.

    If we were playing for real money or high stakes points I could see having the blinds as high as they are now are even as high as 15 minutes, but because the prize pool isn't that big it doesn't make sense to play for so long when your not winning that much especially when you than have to clear your rollover to win anything at all.

    It's all about your point of view.

    Some people want rollover to try to force more ring table action.

    And it's possible to win $1000 per week in bitcoin for Americans, or even more for internationals in book cash. For zero entry per tourney.

    You lose me when you start bitching the prizes are too small. Dont bloody play if you are too big time for that.




    Starting to not agree with your whine about time too. You keep acting like you speak for everyone, yet your own poll shows 36% of people do not agree with you.

    Did you even notice that? As you repeat your demand for your change be done right now!

    Same as you didnt notice the prizes are actually very generous before posting this BS?

    Last time I looked, SBR pros exchanging points for BT-C was "real money."

    Who are these people that want to force ring table action? Big O? Up until a little while ago the prizes were too small. Paying out 300 points per tournament winner equals around $11. Surprised people were even playing in those games.

    Please show me someone on here who is winning $1000 a week or even $500 a week playing poker.


    I think most people on here don't even care since only 25 people even voted. Theyll play no matter what the format is.

    It doesn't become worth anything till you rollover the points though.

    Probably unpopular opinion but having played all five tournaments today the level change to 6 mins is a disaster. This is the best poker promo sbr has had in years, why take away so much playability in the last week? It becomes an all in fest with 30 players left

    Its better because it's over within 75 minutes. Tournaments are too long as it is because of the greater turnout due to this promotion. However this could be the beginning of "Slot Tournament" approach taken by the players. Additional changes may be needed to address that issue.
