    Pro's and Con's on SBR Poker

    Pro's
    1. All in with percentage showing when cards are drawn.

    2. Lobby chat

    Con's
    1. Player chat is to light. I didn't notice people chatting until I type and saw how small the text was and made it unappealing. The chat should be in bold.

    2. The setup of CALL, FOLD, CHECK. This should be changed around I almost made a fold when I wanted to raise. We are use to it being the other way around.

    3. The muck hand is not showing up as clickable maybe I don't want to muck my hand.

    4. Can't see what hand I folded. I wanted to know what cards I fold so know if I could of won or not if I didn't fold. This can also help me to know what type of player someone is if maybe I had a hand and they acting like they have the hand.

    5. No hand history.


    Anyone else has any input put it up. I am sure I missed something.

    SBR poker might be a fun escape from the daily grind and a good way to control tilt with real cash.. if I could only get some points first.

    showing the percentages is such a joke. i remember when i used to play on pokerroom a few years back (before tilt and stars blew up) and they made a few upgrades to their site, one of which was showing the percentages on an all-in. they took it off within like a week and a half because so many people were complaining about it. the biggest complaint was that it was teaching the bad players who didnt know the math behind poker fairly easily. also, it was just showing how big of a joke online poker is.

    I think the test run this weekend will help eliminate most of the cons. The biggest con is that it doesn't really exist yet

    I'm happy they implemented it to be honest. Not quite real money but not quite play money so a nice medium that is relaxing.

    This would be great to pass time. I hope the rake isn't too steep. Is it going to be tourny style?

    It was a test run they were doing. It's not publicly out yet but those who tested it have tried it. So don't worry you are not allow wondering where is the link.

    Also to those who say there is no cons are wrong. I have worked for Turner before and my task where to find bugs are problems with certain stuff that a regular person won't know. An example is when we worked on a project with CNN video we had to figure out where is the best place to put the video flash file, embedded commercials and other videos once it was done, fine out why certain thing didn't work out that I can't example because of the nda we signed when working. We had other task but this is an example. So trust me when I say there is always a con to new service or product.

    Will they have sbr cash game poker or are they just running tournaments? Never played poker on bodog before. Showing the percentages is not a plus if you are a good player. Bad players are going to think its rigged when there 50 plus% doesn't follow through and be more likely to quit. Also it helps bad players realize they are getting it in with crap when they are seeing under 50% show up often.
