Yeah weren't many players, but the final table was actually interesting and fun. Everyone who was actually there put up a good fight.

head_strong · 04-20-11, 10:32 PM

what a joke, sat and watched my chips get folded away with just 1 player playing at the whole table. hope he made the final table lol.

mvp123 · 04-20-11, 10:39 PM

kidk · 04-20-11, 10:52 PM

I won the tourney right before that and never recieved my points lol ....hope it just due to the problem they were having

borednaz · 04-20-11, 11:02 PM

The Last tourney was the same. I lost 10 pts as a non pro. I'd like them back

BeerDog99 · 04-20-11, 11:21 PM

FBI shut SBR down for a little while......

eberetta1 · 04-20-11, 11:43 PM

i unregistered from the 10:00 p.m. game and registered for the 9:00 p.m. game about 8:50pm. I was so busy on other sites, that I did not notice sitout players until I was at the final table and 3 people were still sitouts. Not seen 125 points yet for 3rd place finish. I notice only 24 players signed up.

Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't claim my SBR points won in 2010 on my tax return.

There were only around 6 active players in the 9pm ET tourney today because nobody else could login to SBR poker to play, I'm guessing those 6 or so players had logged in hours before which is the only reason they could play.

Whenever I tried to login it would say "Licensee service does not respond" and I'm assuming it said this for all the other people that couldn't play as well.

It sucked watching Mattmc419, blackbart, eberetta1 and the others just blind steal the entire time since nobody else was at their tables to play against them (I would have done the same). At least you guys got free points though

The SBR Pro's didn't lose anything but I lost 10pts by not being able to play in the tourney, so am I able to get a refund?

Thats the same thing that happened to me, even uninstalled and re-installed
did not help either

borednaz · 04-21-11, 12:31 AM

Only because I came back luckily near the FT & just started pushing all in. Got a lucky double up.

borednaz · 04-21-11, 12:32 AM

what kind of friend 4uk4life doesn't want their bud to get his 10 pts back.. wtf

4uk4life · 04-21-11, 12:53 AM

LOL, no I was actually just thinking that if you were away and made it to 7th that I might consider auto folding to see how far I go hehe

It wasn't interesting or fun for those of us who entered and then could not stay logged in for more than 3 seconds. I was logged in several hours in advance, but was getting disconnected and reconnected long before the tournament began. When the screen froze, I would try to get logged back in, but even if I could, it would only last for 3 seconds, and then freeze again. Seems kinda strange that some people could stay logged in while most couldn't. I was even unable to log into SBR the whole time.

BobHarvey · 04-21-11, 03:34 AM

We had the same problem in the 7 pm PT tournament.

Yeah SBR was down, but I didn't have any problems with the poker software. 7 or so others seemed to be alright too. Only 24 were registered, so ~1/3 got in. I didn't open the software until around 8:00 after I got back from dinner. I also logged out and in a few times to check on the 10PM one after I won the 9PM. It seemed similar - a few players, and lots of folders.

At least it's free though. You can all get back at us lucky ones tomorrow! lol

shari91 · 04-21-11, 03:55 AM

I've forwarded this thread on for someone to look into as I don't have access to the poker back end. Please be patient though - it's the middle of the night for most people so it'll be a few hours at least until this gets investigated. Thanks

rm18 · 04-21-11, 06:44 AM

I am short the 40 points I had on the poker table at the time

kobstopa · 04-21-11, 08:32 AM

bigdog3580 · 04-21-11, 08:44 AM

Hey guys,

We've reimbursed the entry fees of Non-Pros who were unable to participate last night. Our apologies, a hardware issue caused problems across the SBR network last night. Any Non-Pros who couldn't connect that haven't posted, can send us a PM or email to have their 10pts credited back.
