    What does being a SBR PRO get you?

    To start, this is not a "Rant" post, just wondering about this because I have seen a number of changes/references to changes to what PROs vs. Non-Pros can do.

    So, what are the benefits/differences between each?

    - PROs get free buyins to the tourneys.
    - PROs no longer get a discount in the SBR Store.
    - PROs get more daily posting points (12 vs 4 ?).
    - PROs can send points to each other. (I saw a reference to this today)

    What are the other benfits/changes that I have missed or if I am incorrect above?

    Thanks!

    thanks, this was the point to this post. I was not aware that non-pros could not buy most items from the store.

    Cheers.

    PROS - most importantly get 500$ without counting trivia or poker just to post here every year. 4700+pts (@ 12 per day)

    that is more than DOUBLE the 200$ petty amount they require to be a pro..

    simple as pie

    I love the free poker entries as I am a poker junkie. I do miss the discount in the SBR store, but the new huge tourneys that have been being held Monday thru Thursdays has more than made up for the loss of the discount. Also, sounds good for braggin rights when I mention to peeps that I'm an SBR pro. Workin towards the Tom Tom XL One and the dri fit shirt as my next 2 store purchases. This is a big plus value site.

    100% agreed. I was real skeptical about it when Sinmedio told me about SBR. Since I joined, I have really enjoyed the forum and the poker. The value for the points earned has been phemominal!

    Thanks.

    yup, it's an annual thing. But just having $200 in a sponsored account isn't bad at all.
