The NFL pick 6 contest awarded $50,000 in prizes and the next poker promotion gets a mere $1,500 for a 4 month commitment?
Why is it that SBR doesn’t want to put a serious poker promotion out there and back it up with a real reward for the time we put into it?
I like the idea of a $1,500 million maker entry promotion, hell, who wouldn’t love the chance to play for a million dollars. But why does it have to be only one top prize?
SBR could easily send 5 guys to Vegas for this at $7,500 and kick in $500 each toward the hotel and we’re talking a total of 10 grand here. Imagine sending a team of 5 SBR Pros all decked out in SBR gear, you can’t buy better SBR site advertising at the WSOP like that! Plus the fact that we’ve now got a team of 5 with a shot at a million dollars!
The hell with awarding points at the final table for the this. Give the final 5 a $1,500 entry, the other 5 get a piece of the action if any player finishes in the money.
Also, the 6 thru 10 finishers would automatically become alternates should one or more of the top 5 not make the commitment to go. The winners would still have to cover their own airfare and miscellaneous expenses, so you never know, someone may bail or have something come up last minute.
So come on SBR make this happen. Stop being so fuk’in cheap with the poker promotions and make it worth it for the dedication serious SBR poker pros would put into it.
As I stated earlier, 10k to send 5 SBR pros is a drop in the bucket compared to the $50 thousand awarded during pick 6 football promotion. How many new pros did we gain during that verses the coverage we’d get at the WSOP?
Let’s put SBR poker back on map and generate renewed energy into making poker here once again exciting to play!
Cheers!
