It is unfortunate that the points structure is messed up that a person who only placed in 2 tourneys is in the Top 20 and a person who placed 22 times is not even in the top 150. The people who develop the rankings need to be beaten in the head with a 2X4.Comment -
Sinmiedo is one of the nicest and most geniune people I have met.
Sinmiedo is also a very good tourney player and it was highlighted in the Feburary tourneys.
He is responding to the potshots taken at him., especially from a guy that refers to himself in the third person.
This is a measure of SBR tourney cashes for the year to date, that is that and nothing more.
You, Downsouth, Daneblazer, Almasters and a few others are probably the best Ring Game players on SBR, so if (when) SBR comes out with a competition based on that, I expect you will also be there.
Cheers!Comment -
what is everyones problem with me.
i just like to play poker to win ( nothing wrong)
I also proud of making my own bank roll from nothing theanks to sbr and Bodog, and because of that
now is 5 figures deep, including my good winnings at the casino ( beerdog can confirm that)
great players like No1here, Roxxy, Daneblaze , Almasters, ireland 1949, beerdog and more knows that i started from 0 br.
My objective is to participate in the next year wsop with or without sponsor since now i can buy my way in with cash earned at the tables ( casinos and on line)and tournaments.
The only real winner here this year is FUZZY DUNLOP the only one who enjoy all the benefits from this great site that allow many players to improve in their game ( like in my case) and share knowloge and experiences.
Please red carfully that the only objectiive that SBR has is to post tournament points and cash winners and from those i had earned $1000 plus dollars of real money ( not points) and i m very greatfull for that to the sponsors like Bodog DSI adn sBR itself, and many of the player here should do the same , thanks everyday that we had found such a nice place were we can play and enjoy the game without risk of going broke.
best regards to allComment -
No problem with you at all. Sorry if it came across that way. Just saying that the structure which awarded tens of thousands of points to the winner of a single tournament in February before there was a leaderboard was established and now doling out 600 points per winner of a tournament now is...pretty skewed, and essentially determined the winner based on a single single tourney rather than a collection of tourneys. Not your fault though, you just play by the rules offered.

exacly, i play by the rulkes, i do not make them, but i like to win, and i will continue to do so as long as i have the chance and prove that i m a good player no more no less.No problem with you at all.

many sbr player forgot that February was the championship and many players di not took that very seriusly, i did, and i m an oficial champion ( i do not care about the points) i m along with other 3 the official champions of sbr, that is what that month was all about.Comment -
The problem is not the players who are at the top. The problem is the rules. The ratio of the points won in the first 2 tournaments is exponentially disproportional to the points won in all other tourneys. Maybe after this 100 best players tourney everything is wiped out and start with clean sheets with the rules published ahead of time instead of making them as you go.Comment -
when there are bigger tournaments with alot of points .......play better. The people complaining about simi wouldnt say a word if they were in that same position.Comment -
i wouldnt worry about the guys complaining cause they probably wouidnt qualify anyway and are the ones who complain about everything,have played against u a few times and always are solidComment -

While there is no question, those were the largest in the year (with the possible exception of the WSOP), it was not easy to get to the big tourney.
There was 4 weeks of them and you had to win a weekly qualifier to get into the big tourney. Also, Sinmiedo did it twice....
Talk about bringing your A game at the right time! He has also cashed 22 times.
Instead of riding Sinmiedo, he should be congratulated.
Lastly, everybody who makes it into the final tourney has the same chance to win, he does not get any advantage other than he is known to bring his A game to big tourneys, so you better also!
Cheers.Comment -
Clueless to why this is a problem at all. The numbers are true and are simply the goal to shoot for. I can tell you that you do want to be SBR number one poker player as rewards will follow. I come to the conclusion that the ones complaining are scared of the numbers. I can assure you that Sinmiedo and the others on top worked very hard and earned evey single point.Comment -
where is the latest standingComment -
Well you obviously didn't read my post which you quoted. Sinmiedo is not at fault. He didn't make the rules. The rules are not right. As you know the probability to win one tourney vs winning any of the daily tourneys in online poker with everyone starting with equal chips is practically the same.
Anyway I'm not going to be pointing out the obvious anymore.Comment -
Updated yesterday.Comment -
I don't think that people are upset about the big scores from February, kudos to those that did tho, it's more about the fact that if you didn't have a big cash that month there was virtually no way to catch them. Most of posters here are fairly competitive and never had the chance to catch up. Out of the now 10 months of this year, one month there was no poker due to SBR upgrading the site, so no opportunity there to make up ground and two months during Ryder Cup qualification where gaining points were much tougher to get. During the 2 months of Ryder Cup qualifying only 3 places were paid and the paltry points awarded were 500/250/100. 20 of the 40 seats of the Top 100 Championship Tourney were virtually decided in February. It is what it is. I don't fault those that won big in February, it's just that there wasn't really planning or forethought by SBR in implementing the Top 100 and subsequent tourneys. SBR started with a Championship instead of ending with one, I realize this is all relatively new and should work better in the future. I think we all like the idea of having a Top 100 list, but maybe should have been started fresh where everyone is on equal footing, there really isn't reason they couldn't have started the Top 100 on August 1st, after the upgrades.Comment -
It's like NASCAR.
Biggest race was first and we've been racing for the title ever since.
It doesn't really matter, if you're outside of the Top 100....but play better and win one. Everyone has 6 tournaments a week in which they can accumulate points (not sure if they count Sunday's...so maybe 7)Comment -
right on pavy.
and in the last month, if you are getting top 10 finishes every week in nascar you still make the chase. in sbr you don't make anything.
it's easy enough to say "just win" but with a week left those of us at 130th place that should be in the top 100 can win 1 out of 5 45-person tourneys and not get in.
anyone that thinks i'm not one of the top 100 poker players at sbr is completely insane. i'm not saying that out of bitterness, just agreeing with those here that say the structure was completely unfair.
the worst part was saying after the fact (when some of us didn't play certain tournaments) that those tournaments were counting towards an overall point total.Comment -
I put up a crucial 600 point win today. List lit a fire under my ass.Comment -
Why dont I get credit for the 600 points that I won yesterday and the 368 points that I won 2 weekd agoComment -
Way to go Fuzzy! You won the biggest tourney at SBR and it counted zero towards this. While others complain you just keep playing. Good luck in the big show!Comment -
As of now, there are 2 lists. This one (175) and the top 250 one. The 250 was updated yesterday - the one in this thread, as of this post, is from 10/18. It's a bit confusing - but I guess we can handle it.Comment -
Im like 180 and simply blame myself and some real bad, real bad beats. Some guys can make it to a tourney everyday too, others that have stuff going on simply can't make it all the time. So its on me i think if i was here to play everyday and on Saturday i would be in the running for sure. Either way best of luck 2 you all.Comment -
Youy are absolutly correct, and i also said it. Fuzzy is the only one at sbr that really cash out big,and i m very happy for that, also for the fact that we had a good player from SBR representing us in the wsop.
it was for many of us the dream trip and i hope next year i could make it along with the winner if there is to be repeatd the tournament.
for the complainers here is something to think about it
The points do not matter
there are 4 real SBR champs ( and no one should argues that fact )
and 1 undisputed averall winner FUZZYComment -
I started playing poker at SBR AFTER February and im in 24th place now, so i dont understand the whining,Sinmiedo is a well deserved leader,and maybe the biggest talent here, nuff saidComment -
Never a complaint from me about formats. Noticing the newish SBR Poker Facebook page, I think you guys are really on the right track positioning yourself as a great alternative for casual players that are lost post Black Friday. I have friends that play on some of the $19.99/mo membership sites that hate it and are checking this out. Can't beat it for $200/year that you play on books with and win points for the store here.Comment -
roxxy from my end it's not whining i was just agreeing with some people here. pointing out faults in a structure so they can fix them next time isn't whining, it's constructive criticism. would nfl teams like it if 4 weeks into the season the nfl decided to count preseason games towards the playoffs?
and certainly nobody was criticizing someone like you with 25 cashes getting in, but people with 2 cashes?
