Also, I suck at poker but I'll put a prize on my head each week to the tune of 0.015BTC which means that if you take me out in any of the weeks you are basically freerolling the rest of the tournament.

- What format will there be - mainly a tournament on Sunday?

- A series with leaderboard? I just think of the events from before.

- Buyins?

- Were there any updates to the Betnomi client? I can remember that 1 1/2 - 2 years ago there were often bugs or you were disconnected from the connection and thus left some chips.

What do you think? I personally would prefer a 1 mBTC entry fee (but I think even $15 would be a reasonable amount).

I've played a few tournaments this week and it's been smooth sailing for me (although my VPN is sometimes junk).

~

I think that 1mBTC would be feasible for everyone. I wouldn't set it too high, as it could scare off potential players.

I'm thinking about having a 5 week tournament (4 games + final table). And restart. The problem of the last tournament was that after 4 weeks some users stopped playing because they did not see the prospect of making it to the final table. A strategy to reduce in-game weeks should fix this issue (I think).

I would be happy to see old faces here. I think especially of @efialtis ;D

i would also be for a buy-in of 0.001BTC -snip-

I put it on "Watch" and clicked that "notify" button as well so I wouldn't miss out but hoping that the designated time will be fine for me too because from the past, it was likely the hindrance on my end. I'm fine for $10-$15 buy-in, 'cause it's more affordable and I guess a lot will agree.

explain it very simple for an idiot like me who has never played in one of these types of things - I want to join hate the idea of playing but want to try and win one of the Icarus cards :/

What should perhaps also be clarified beforehand -besides the buyin - would be the structure.

Hyper Turbo, Turbo or rather a "slow" structure with deep stacks?

Game mode should actually be clear - NLH (No Limit Hold'em)

As long as it's not the "Pokerstars Deep Stack structure", which takes like 15 hours+, I am fine with any structure, haha. It would be best to have a structure that requires a maximum of 3-4 hours for each tournament. For a deeper structure we probably lack the participants.


The previous Bitcointalk poker tournaments were always No Limit Hold'em, right? I would keep it that way tbh, because NLH is the game that usually attracts the most users. PLO and other variants are also very exciting, but these probably attract significantly fewer participants.

Thanks for the PM. Finally a new Bitcointalk Poker Series. Awesome. Since I have already played in several poker tournaments on Bitcointalk in the past and always had a lot of fun, I would of course also participate in this series (if my time allows it).  :)

I'm also a bit butthurt that some might've been pmed where I was left out being as I participated in all the past series.

Who's giving odds on how many of the I'm in guys in this thread are no shows?

No bad blood buddy. I received a private message from a German-speaking user on this thread because he knows that I played poker for many years.

It was not an official message inviting users.


And yea you're probably right, but playing a complete series is different from a single event. If the dates don't fit you (e.g. if you have to work on Sundays), there is not much you can do. Therefore, let's stay positive. The more attention this thread gets, the more users will sign up in the end.

Especially @cygan and Icarus really deserve a good boost, after the yogg drama.  :)

✂
Just givin ico and cygan some hell at your expense. I'm sure they would send all past players a pm at some point. Wasn't trying to start any drama.

I know many will show interest and only half that do will show up. It's the same issue we had with the series. Time is not anyone's friend. There is never a perfect time to play a scheduled poker game with everyone across the globe.

AllIN: Let's play!

Also, I suck at poker but I'll put a prize on my head each week to the tune of 0.015BTC which means that if you take me out in any of the weeks you are basically freerolling the rest of the tournament.

-snip-
0.005BTC "main" buy-in that goes to prize pool for finalists in total (added to the final week basically if we do points like in the past).
0.0025BTC "weekly" buy-in that is added to the prizepool on each weekly gameday so to speak. -snip-

Oh, but that would be expensive. But I'm not sure whether it might not be too high and fewer people would play along as a result. With such a high stake, I wouldn't be sure if I'd be there. I'm just not a good poker player and for me this tournament would be just too expensive to have a little fun.  :)
...

...
The above would be my dream scenario and I know splashing out 0.0075BTC the first week is not for everyone but I think we could garner some decent interest either way!

This is my first time of seeing this poker tournament games, I have not noticed it before looking at the features and the characteristics of the series it will be fun to partake in the tournament.  You don't have to be hurt, you are always welcome to the tournament to have fun. And you were not left out, you are always in, they have welcome you onboard.
All the best and best luck

I am not sure I get this... $10-$15 buy-in per game is what we had before. If 0.005 "main" buy-in means for all games (for example 8) it's like $15 dollars per game at the moment, if I get it right? And that's fine... we had many discussions about the "buy-in" amount, $15 is not so expensive but at the same time, it's not so low to attract all kinds of players.

I think I am going to join you guys, but I just need to figure out whether I will actually be available on those Sundays.

I don't know if it has already been set, but I would definitely suggest Sundays (not Saturdays) as the date.

This way you have the option to play a few more tournaments on the big platforms at the same time. One-tabling a single table for hours is a bit boring in the long run, haha. Doesn't Betnomi also have a bigger Sunday tournament which is open to everyone? And are there actually rules for multi-tabling there? Or can you only open a limited number of tables?

Also, I would keep our tournament series shorter rather than longer (and then restart), otherwise some members might not want to participate because they don't have time on one or two Sundays, for example.

i think we should plan sunday as our tournament day. on saturdays it can be that one or the other is invited to some party or to his family or simply wants to spend saturday with his sweetheart ;)

and as for the number of tables, i would depend on the number of participants in the tournament. for example, if there are 12 participants, 2 tables with 6 players each would be enough - or if there are 15, 3 tables with 5 players each.

how high should the buy-in be ... would 0.001 be okay for all?
0.005 would be too high for me in general ... that would therefore deter some participants

So we start in March or rather later? -snip-

In my opinion, we shouldn't start later than march. As soon as it gets warm, many people will no longer have time.  :)

~

I would love to start already this sunday! :D

-snip- what we have not yet talked about is the distribution of points on the respective tournament days... some suggestions?

My suggestion would be to get points for the first 10 places. 1st place gets 10 points, 2nd place gets 9 points and 10th place gets 1 point. Of course, that's only good if we have at least 15 or more participants. I think that's how it was done in the other poker tournaments.  :)

buy-in: 0.001BTC

time: 18:00 cet

i have already listed some points in my second post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437680.msg61693400#msg61693400) and provided the relevant information.

I think 0.001 is fine for all, not too big and not too small. And I agree with you about the 0.005 buy-ins, that's just too much for some users, we could say isn't a friendly buy-in at all, if the goal is to have the biggest amount of forum users then let's go for 0.001 or even smaller.

Will the tournament have a re-buy option?

-snip- Will the tournament have a re-buy option?

which day/s: always sundays
time: 18:00 cet
tournament length: 5 weeks (4 games + 1 final table)
buy-in: 0.001BTC
round length: 8 minutes
stake: 8000 chips
re-buys: yes/no?

point distribution:

To be honest, I didn't ask Betnomi about it. But I'm 99% sure that all accounting, buy-ins are in dollar equivalent (at least it was when I was actively playing poker). In addition, there is also the concept of tournament dollars, so this is another argument in favor of the dollar equivalent.

I also asked Betnomi to add 4 tournaments to the lobby, (tournament details below). And I'll get back to you when I get an answer.

I had never posted this link before (although I'm not sure), in fact there are others...it turns out that stirring dust to get in shape I came across this video.  :)
...

-snip- Do you know how many users join to that tournament? i miss the game that time, but you can count me in for this year.

Sorry to say but I'll likely not join, wishing best of luck to all participants though and I may throw in some extras for you guys in the prizepool as I did say I'd put a bounty on my head..

oh that's a very sad... would have liked to see you sitting at a table :P
did your decision have anything to do with the buy-in or the time (day/time)?
ask therefore to then maybe not to lose more alleged participants...

✂
Yeah it's just hard for me to justify spending a Sunday night with a relatively deep stack for a $20 buy in.. Perhaps a bit degen from my part but just have to weigh pros and cons against each other.

I do wish you all the best of luck though, one day.. maybe at $100k BTC we can do some high roller stuff :D

what we haven't talked about here are the small/big blinds and how high they should be at the start of each tournament ;)
my suggestion would be for an 8k chips stake a ratio of 100/200 and then the blinds would always be doubled after the 8 minutes have passed

there will be a tournament password for all participants, which will be sent by icopress or me to the players as dm. icopress is also in contact with betnomi, regarding the creation of the btctalk tournament with the respective number of tables on the platform

wanted to say that the preparations in the background are running in any case :)

of course 6 players per table would be better because we will play more hands.

I only hope to the tournament not start this weekend because i have a weeding.

@all
we'll just wait and see what icopress will tell us when he gets the feedback from betnomi :)

---

this weekend it will not be so far - that i can assure you and all of you

I wish I would receive a PM here considering I'm really eager to join once again in the tourney to @cygan and @icopress. I would really appreciate the gesture and thanks in advance.

all users who are willing to pay the amount of the buy-in can participate in the tournaments. there is no difference if someone has received a dm or not - all are welcome at the tables :)

Okay, cool cool. I thought it will be like the last time that it will be DM to you the code on the tables for you to participate in the tourney. So, it will start this weekend (Sunday)or that wasn't yet fixed? Hope the timing can be moved maybe 8pm CET if it's possible.

it will not take place this sunday yet - icopress or me will announce the start of the first tournament here early. but the time is already fixed for it

we will send a dm with the password only to the users who have sent the amount for the buy-in to betnomi until a certain time.

Why not post the pw publicly? If it's a buyin game, there's nothing lost if someone snipes the pw outside of btctalk right? More players, bigger pool for that game IMO.

So if I read this correctly, I need to deposit atleast $80 to ensure that I will play for 4 straight weeks to get the password?
✂

in retrospect, you are of course right and it does not make sense to send the pw directly to the participants. somehow i still had the tournaments in mind at that time where then efialtis announced the pw via dm. :P
if icopress doesn't mind, we would then announce the pw publicly, and then every user with the combination buy-in + pw can sit at the tables together with the other players.

---

nope, you send the buy-in only for the tournaments you play in and as for the pw, hopefully we have explained that now :)

The 1 issue I see is with the Icarus cards. If someone joins who is not on the forum, they may not know of the cards for reaching the final table, so a card me be unclaimed. Other than that, as long as that's not an issue, should be good to go.

I don't agree with "anyone can subscribe" I don't think it makes sense to me, in terms of a series of BitcoinPokerSeries + sponsor.

On the contrary, I don't care about the prize, in fact I don't even have continuity in poker today day, in fact, the series make me enter into that particular timing daily that gives you the "taste" to keep your skills healthy.

If it were for the amount of the prize or GTD, I put my $30, $20 or the 0.001 btc in another tournament that will surely be more profitable just by doing ITM.

In this sense, the accounts must at least have a minimum registration time of one year in the forum.

Colega!! that was the final table, so those instances of Heads Up shown correspond to a  table of 9 players.

If we ended up with 20-30 players instead of only 10...

If we ended up with 20-30 players instead of only 10, the game experience would be much better tbh.

-snip

If we take a look at previous tournaments, we are lucky if we can get atleast 15 players on AVERAGE to stick and play all the qualifier games. We are probably going to get 15-25 players on the first one or two games then most players are going to drop the last two games because they think they wont make it into the final table

@yahoo62278 I understand your point, but:

I repeat, if you want to make a poker series "over there" betnomi.com "OPEN Alls", this thread loses its meaning, in the essence of the community.

Be careful, I am not trying to go against anyone or the event, in fact "Estoy en la jugada" the literal translation into English does not work, but it would be how I am in tune with the idea of playing poker.

For me, the science of organizing from here... (I speak as a user, because it is obvious that I understand the position in the objective of betnomi is to attract users with any type of promotion to their site, it does not matter where it is generated from, even the organizer/TeamOP will have their player participation goals, etc.)

... is to have a "community" that has its origin here, and is something more camaraderie. It's like you organize games at your house, your friends' friends can come, of course, but let me meet you first, I don't know, it's something "romantic" associated with the forum's own feedback.

So, "forum's user feedback," we have two of the 4 champions commenting around, in fact I'm surprised not to see @Betwrong a guy who, in addition to playing the series, always comments on his post-game plays, it's not that it's mandatory to come to comment to the forum, but it is intrinsic to what we do every day, and if it is poker, let's have a healthy discussion, post QT#.

Well, that is lost in a high percentage when you are committed only to playing poker and you do not leave any commitment to the forum(Community, feedback, talk, etc.).

Then, I have always thought that, if a BTTPS series were to be organized, we should have a participation of at least one player per campaign of those that exist in the forum, why not?  8)

In fact the Manager SC could sponsor those players, :) for example Hz mentioned some extra money, I would prefer someone from his campaign(s) to play the tournament.

This is the first I’m reading of this poker tournament! When does it start I don’t see the date stated clearly anywhere. I’d love to join.

the poker cards are finally finished and you can see the result below. you can see 4 different colors of these cards.
the white one will be given to all participants of the final table, the bronze one to the third, the silver one to the second and the golden one to the winner of the respective tournament.

✂
Is it the usual Betnomi blind structure, I linked below?
✂

as i just talked to icopress it will most likely be in march and we can start our poker tournaments

all of you who want to join the poker tables, you can already send your buyins ($20 per tournament day) in a free minute to your betnomi acc :)

My balance on Betnomi is in LTC. I can also use this to enter the tournament, right? I mean, it's calculated in $ and not in BTC?!? Or only BTC works?
Would be nice if someone could answer the question beforehand. Thanks!  :)

You can use any crypto for buy-ins, as you mentioned everything is calculated in $,€...

Will there be an official series thread? How early will players be able to register? When is the 1st tourney scheduled for? Weekly tourney or a week on a week off? Sorry for so many questions, just curious if all this has been decided yet.

for the respective poker tournaments/days we will continue to use this thread and it looks like the first tournament will start in march and then continue weekly (every sunday)
i think as soon as the dates are fixed all participants can register for the respective rounds.
actually everything important is already listed (in my second post). the only thing we are all still waiting for are the actual dates

i think the blind structure you posted will also be valid for us and we will practice it in the same way.

Just asking, will you also post an update in your Icarus thread when the date for the tournaments is set?
Looking forward to it!

I am not checking this thread regularly and the bot seems to only let me track 4 at a time, right?
✂

✂
If it should start already this Sunday (since it will be the first Sunday in March), the official announcement comes quite late. So it's probably going to start a little later, right?

we would have to look. today is already wednesday and if it should be the sunday on 05.03. then i would also be for that we then start a week later, so that we reach as many participants as possible in the time and these then for the said sunday do not plan anything

when the dates are fixed, we will post them in various betnomi/Icarus threads, so that everyone who is interested in our poker series will be informed :)

✂️
Probably there is no news about the poker series yet or? And then it means there will be no event this Sunday, March 12, too, right?

✂️
Sounds good. Will try to play one or two other Betnomi tournaments in the meantime to get familiar with the software.  8)

right. unfortunately, it looks like we will have to be patient for another week...

unfortunately, this is the only option available to us for the time being...

Not the worst option. The price pools are actually not bad. Betnomi isn't the biggest poker platform of course, but the Sunday and Monthly tournaments are quite interesting. And you can always multitable on another platform.

...
I like the KO feature in their tournaments, the fact that you win each time you take out a user is awesome and I haven't seen that in other crypto poker sites.

The tourney is already announced in the lobby, but I think they will change the date as it said that tourneys must be on Sundays.

Good to see this its moving forward.

How much money we can win finally?.

The tourney is already announced in the lobby, but I think they will change the date as it said that tourneys must be on Sundays.

Pretty sure they are going to change the 1st tourney as the password posted isn't working. I'm sure icopress and cygan are already aware, but i'll pm ico on discord and inform them of the errors. Still a week so plenty of time to fix it.

I think they are working on that right now because there are two tournaments announced right now, both on the same day but with different hours. They must be doing some tests for sure. And the password doesn't work for any of the tournaments, and I think that's because they don't want the users to register until they have cleared the time and date.

Where did you get the password from?
Will the tournaments be available for Bitcointalk folks only via a special password or is it open to anyone?

And still looking forward to get the actual dates for these!

The game was added to the lobby and I was able to register. There were some problems with the password and date, but now everything is in order.

In addition, I asked that the date of the first game be changed to March 26 (we'll see what happens).

Thus, there will be more time to join. In any case, at the moment it starts this Sunday, and despite some of my disappointments, I will play.

~

I'll leave it here since I already wrote in another thread.

If possible please try to change the date to the 26th of March. For example, I'm already planned this Sunday and won't be able to play
✂

Thanks for the update buddy.

If possible please try to change the date to the 26th of March. For example, I'm already planned this Sunday and won't be able to play because I assumed it wouldn't take place this Sunday since its already Thursday today. An announcement of only three days in advance is quite short. Dang.  :-\

I already asked Betnomi to do it.

....
As far as I understand, if 6 people do not join, then the money should be automatically returned...

If there is a minimum number of people, but no more than ten, then I think everyone will agree that this first game can be considered a test (if the game is this weekend).

I would create a new Announcement thread with clear information(Dates,Password and etc.) to get rid of some confusion. Anyway, I don't think that there is  need for tests, because new players have already done it, we had almost 1 month for this.

I don't think we need a new thread, we only need an update in the first posts of this one.

Is nice to know that the tournaments are around the corner, I'm still thinking of joining to the test one this weekend or just waiting for the next weekend to play the good one.

And I'm not sure about how good is to have 4 games, because if someone loses the first 2 games, I don't think they will join to the last ones, but maybe I'm wrong, let's see how it goes.

finally!
from betnomi side now the date has been fixed to march 26th. so we can say that the first round will start on the said date (sunday). the password (which you can find in the second post) works now too. :)

therefore the further information looks as follows:

re-buys i actually didn't want to have unlimited but limit to the first 45 minutes. maybe icopress could forward this to betnomi again?
or do you guys think that re-buys should be possible until the end of the tournament?
and as i can see, you can already register for the first tournament starting tomorrow :)

have registered today as the first for the upcoming tournament and hope that now some users will follow. am curious how many we will be in total on the first tournament day. :)

Good luck at the tables.

Maybe there is some free resources online through which I could learn how to play this game fast, any body with access to such information should please point me to it, I would very much appreciate it,
I believe that, the more we are in the game, the merrier, I would love to try myself out in the competition, but first, I need to attend a class, to move my win chances up a bit at least  ;D..

These videos will show you a step-by-step tutorial of how to be a master in Texas Hold’em!

Besides that, just try some freerolls on Betnomi. These run basically every day. You can just register and win some BTC for free, if you're making it to the first spots.

And another good option to learn is the cash games, some tables are really cheap, and you can join them for $0.43... Each hand cost $0.02.

I'm happy to see how this weekend will start the tournament, we all will enjoy it, so, see you this Sunday in the tournament guys, and great luck to all!

I would really love to join in this fun but unfortunately for me, I don't know a thing on how to play poker,

Maybe there is some free resources online through which I could learn how to play this game fast, any body with access to such information should please point me to it, I would very much appreciate it,
I believe that, the more we are in the game, the merrier, I would love to try myself out in the competition, but first, I need to attend a class, to move my win chances up a bit at least  ;D..

...
8 short YouTube videos that tell you basically everything:
...

the registration also works perfectly.
have registered today as the first for the upcoming tournament and hope that now some users will follow. am curious how many we will be in total on the first tournament day. :)

I have a question/suggestion. Will Betnomi sponsor the final match and provide an additional prize? If so, should this be announced beforehand?!? That might motivate more people to join the poker series if they see there's a good prize to be won in the finals.  ;)

18 PM is neither day nor night, and it will be really hard for me to play all games, especially to be "totally free and focused", but I will give my best to play!

cygan, how many users have already joined the present poker tournament?
✂

✂
And has it been decided yet, how many Icarus tournaments will run?

One problem in structure is re-buy for 0 €, as I guess it means that player can do as much rebuys as he wants for free until the end of game, right? this must be solved...hope Betnomi already know about this.

this problem must be solved by the start of the first round! then it would be a tournament without a happy end, if the users could register again and again for free... :P ::)
i still prefer the option of a $20 re-buy within the first 45 minutes :)

as i understand it, betnomi will put $500 into the pot in the final round. if these 500 bucks will be distributed among all final table participants or only to the first 3 - that i unfortunately can't say. maybe betnomi or icopress could say something about it and confirm the whole thing here

Betnomi gave me links to the desktop versions (you can pin this in the main post).

Sweet! A $500 bonus prize pool for the grand final sounds amazing. If that's really the case, thanks a lot to Betnomi for sponsoring our series with such a generous amount. 

but there is one important condition to keep the 500 bucks at the final game. if we don't reach a minimum of 10 players/per tournament in the 4 tournament days the bonus will be reduced by $200 to $300 by betnomi.
in other words - if there is a tournament with less than 10 players, the bonus will be $300 instead of $500.

I would like to know more about the final game because feels like I'm missing something there.

How many users will play in that one?

Will the final game have Buy-In too?

And about the first 4 games, the prizes will go to the final game or each game will distribute the prizes from the buy-ins on that game?

Thanks for the information guys, and I hope you can add this information in the first page of the thread, I feel like it's relevant information for the tournament.

There are plenty, if you have like one hour you should be able to learn everything you need to know. You could start on YouTube.

Thank you very much mate, I really appreciate the YouTube link you shared, though I've not watched the videos yet, but from the description, i think it is exactly what I am looking for, I will make out time tonight to watch the videos, as well as create a betnomi account and try out those free rolls, will see where that takes me...

So 3 people registered so far, count me as 4 because Im going to join no matter what

So 3 people registered so far, count me as 4 because Im going to join no matter what  :)

Chips start at 8k stacks and 10/20 blinds so thats 400BB stacks with 6minutes blind which is kinda fast and depending on the size of the field, Im guessing that we could get down to top 3 players around the first break. I'll be happy if we can get atleast 10 players so the size of the pot would be 200euro which gives atleast 40 euro to the 3rd place ( decent )

How does player- Twentiwan has 16K starting chips?  ??? :o

Ok, so I just logged in to check and the player did have 16k stack. I couldn't see a rebuy option, so i unregistered and went to register again and you can choose buyin+rebuy for same price as just the buyin. So the tourney rebuy option is going to to need to be set up correctly or everyone will get free rebuys. This has been mentioned in past posts but now we can see it is going to be an issue. There needs to be a rebuy period set and also a fee for each rebuy.

I don't think there is problem for 10 players/PT(4Q), at least for this Sunday, it's not that difficult. The last time it was 20 players, although the GTD was another amount.

Hope it will be technically possible to solve the problem without deleting the tourney. I've posted about the issue here,may Icopress already know about this.

Darbit, we are no longer in classic H2H mode now we are three, I think we could easily have our local competition.

Uff, yea deleting the whole tourney would suck, since I guess we would lose some players that way. However, I am pretty sure things will get fixed until Sunday. It's only Wednesday today.

Should be a 5 minute fix but they will have to delete the tourney to fix it. Icopress will have to fill out the fields on the tourney sheet and give it to the owner to turn in. It's just a matter of getting the owner to respond and turn in the sheet at this point.

I would say we probably all need to unregister. Let them fix it and reregister.

The last time I submitted the form, all fields were filled out correctly. But after adding the tournament to the lobby, there were many inconsistencies (which are partly already fixed and those that have not yet been fixed should be fixed by the start of the game).

✂️
And there cygan mentioned the buy-in is $20 and not 20€, but for me, it was 20€, maybe that's something that we should make clear too.

I just take a look at the tournament lobby and all the users have 8k chips now, looks like the 16k chips issue gets fixed now.

But in the Re-Buy description, it say:

Rebuy (8000 chips for €0 + €0) available until the end of the tournament.

So, not sure if users will be able to re-buy or if that would be fixed too.

And I created a thread in the Spanish local board, I hope to see some users from there joining us. And there cygan mentioned the buy-in is $20 and not 20€, but for me, it was 20€, maybe that's something that we should make clear too.

What i'm worried bout if we go that route is people being able to rebuy forever and the game neverending.

I chose the dollar, and some people like you chose the euro. In BTC it's the same.

for example  player wont't get points for that 1st game or something like that... :P

-snip-

Seems like the tournament got deleted and we have to re-entry, please all check and register again.

I think they fix the re-buy thing. So please register again.

Few days only separate us of the first round.

...
Seems the old tournament got deleted. It still looks somewhat broken, when you register. And there are still unlimited rebuys until the end of the tournament.

Good luck to all!

In addition to that the tournament structure changed. Blind levels aren't 8 minutes anymore, they are now 6 minutes and some 3 minutes levels before breaks. See here:


I don't care about the structure, but the current one will result in a shove fest pretty quickly (if you don't plan to take plenty of rebuys). I don't know if that's intended. If not, i would choose longer blind levels (e.g. 8/10/15 minutes or something like that) for the next tournaments.

I have a question about the final table, not so important but I am curious. How many seats there will be at the final table? Or it depends on the number of players and will be decided later? I went through the thread but didn't find anything about this, maybe I missed it...

If someone has a large bankroll, they can rebuy 100x until they build a stack. Even up to the final hand.

Taking this opportunity, I also want to announce that tomorrow, March 26, a poker series will begin in which only forum users participate.

The series consists of 4 games and a final game (every Sunday starting March 26). In addition to the cash prize, all participants in the final game will receive a collectible item (Icarus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5435930.0)) as a gift, and the winner will receive a Custom Cold Wallet in addition to everything. See you at the game!

I sent several invitations ... and additionally topped up my balance so that I could buy more chips if necessary. Unfortunately, on Monday I had a check-up and it turned out that I had a 10% enlarged liver (so I won't be able to fully enjoy the game while drinking beer or something like that).

Guys feel free to send some invitations as well.  ;)

Yeah I cant find confirmation about this either but with $500 as the prizepool for the final table and probably will be split between top 3 then I'd say its either 6 or 9 for final table. Totally will love to go with 9 players, playing with 6 is abit dull to my liking


They actually can with the rebuy option so probably icopress gotta submit another form to Sorsis next week to omit the rebuy option

Total of 8 people have registered so far. I kinda forget most of the regular's username in Betnomi but I dont see @Betwrong and @Jayce yet, pretty sure Jayce will join us so that leave us at 9 atleast for the first game  :)

Guys should we actually advertise the tournament elsewhere now or is that a problem when we don't know the people and they mess around with the rebuy issue? So far I think we know who is in and can trust nobody will go rogue.

IMO the more the merrier. If someone wants to spend 22$ a pop for rebuys all day, let them. They're just building the prize pool for the winners. Eventually the blinds would be more then the stack you rebuy for, so normal users would know it's silly to rebuy after a certain level.

btw currently 11 users are registered

When you reach level 15 (for example) and you have 20-30% of all chips, then users who received 8000 chips through rebuys will not be able to count on anything except for all-in.

It starts in about 70 minutes

Wait 70 minutes? I thought we still have around 2 hours

i have now published the link for the official tournament sheet in the second post.

i would ask you during the tournament (at the tables) or here in the thread to post your corresponding usernames, so i know who is behind which pokerplayer

I asked, but did not receive an answer that would suit me. The problem is that it is impossible to make any changes to the game parameters only to register a new one. You clearly saw that the changes that were made were not made as quickly as we all would like, so I would leave it as it is for now.

Come on folks, sign up for the first game in the new poker series. It starts in about 2 hours and we are 12 participants so far. Surely this could be better?!  ;)

So, let's hope to get better cards the next weekend  ;D and great luck for all the players.

small break...
that is certainly what some players are hoping for ;D
btw what is your pokername and who is Boolog, tebmf and IWW?

What is the password? I think I just missed it :(

GG everyone and good luck to everyone still in. Ran my q10 into AQ and 1r0n1c knocked me to the rail. I'll try to get in next weeks game. See everyone there.

...congratulations to all nine of you for winning an Icarus card!!!
...please use privnote.com (http://privnote.com) to send me your address via pm Cool...

All the same, 6 minutes for level 1 is not enough. I did not have time to enjoy the game during these 2 hours.
....

In any case, it was a pleasure to see you all and I hope to see you next Sunday.  :D

Is that a typo in the thread name? Shouldn't the second game be on April 2nd? April 3rd is a Monday.  ;)

i think yesterday was a successful poker evening for all involved. there was only one short lag during the whole game on the betnomi platform, but otherwise everything went smoothly.
congratulations also from me to icopress!
the tournament sheet has now been completely edited by me and is now up to date :)


i need a postal address from you as well as from the other players (who took the places 1-9 (sit on the final table)) (best created on privnote.com (http://privnote.com) and sent to me via pm) where i should send the Icarus card.
please note that i will send the cards only at the end of the whole tournament - because it will be for sure that some players will win more than one card :)

Anyone made it into the 2nd day of the Sunday Million Anniversay event?  8)

What im missing?

i need a postal address from you as well as from the other players (who took the places 1-9 (sit on the final table)

I'm in for all future rounds. See you at the tables.

It seems that the 2nd round lobby isnt created yet in the lobby so are we going to change the blind minutes or are we going to stick around with 6 minutes till the 4th round?

I'm in for all future rounds. See you at the tables.

I am sure @cygan or @icopress will announce the tournament here once the registration opens.

also looking forward to seeing you at the tables this sunday 8)
all participants still have the chance to qualify for the grand final in about 4 weeks.
and all necessary infos like the pw, start-time, ... you need for the tournament can be found in the second post.

you can be sure of that in any case. unless someone else of you is faster with the announcement than both of us ;D

you can be sure of that in any case. unless someone else of you is faster with the announcement than both of us ;D

I sent an email to the betting office and requested that the time between blind changes be increased to 10 minutes. As soon as I get a reply I will reply.

btw in the overview i am still missing the corresponding bitcointalk usernames of the following players:
this would then also make it easier for me to contact you about possibly winning an Icarus card :)

Not sure how you guys here think about knockout bounties in poker, but I like that format a lot. Wouldn't it be nice to have 25% of the prize pool be distributed to knockout bounties for every player? It adds an additional touch of excitement to the game.

---

About the tournament i have one idea, i dont know if you like but, i really like the KO tournaments, that its a small prize for took out a player. I think we can implemented this easily, i dont know how much but like $5 usd/eur in each head.

I think this can make more spicy the tournament and everybody can win something. Lets me know if you agree or not?.

mv1986, I don't mind at all, but perhaps this innovation should be applied to the next series?

I was informed that a new game has been added to the lobby. The password is the same (I successfully connected).

I also see that the time interval is increased to 10 minutes.  ;)

I think if you guys decide to go with the PKO structure it will lower the amount of people paid out usually as well as I think it can only be 50% split. 50% of your buy in is bounty and 50% to prize pool. I do not think they can make it 25/75.

Are you trying to say my second position was pure luck :P , because you are right.

Jokes asides, i thinks we can have 20 usd + 5 for KO. Its little money and add so much fun i think, but lets see how this develop and what people thinks.

I already register in the tournament.

10 minutes is a big PLUS! ... Turbo tournaments are all about luck because the often times the distributed hands are skewed in terms of winning probability before the flop.

...//...::I have been preaching this idea since few previous series but it seems most are not really into this but Im totally down for this. Anyway, there are only 4 rounds before the final table so we might be able to use the KO format for the last round if most people want this format ( as some sort of tryout for the new format ) or probably scrape this idea for the next series in case if we have another in the future

What happen on season 6?

Well so the 17 participants for the other day it wasent so bad finally, and average start. Season one start was massive.

I hope to see more faces on Sunday. Today im encouraging in Betnomi chat guys to come and play.

Everybody refilled his luck?

I use a VPN (so think about it).  ;)

7 of us registered already for this weekends tourney.

Boolog

would be nice to see owlcatz and another new guys on the tables this sunday 8)

twentiwan
straateflu5h

I heard a rumour Icopress its using black magic for his luck, its that true?.

8 now including me and we have a new name registered. Looks like we are getting atleast 12 again this round

If we could average 15 players each game that would be a $300 pool every game. Only 3 spots get paid on 15 entrants, but it motivates players to win so they can finish in the money. Personally, I don't see how we have never averaged 30+ in every series??? We have millions of accounts registered on the forum and we average <15. Puzzles me. Maybe everyone is only here for a cash grab and there are no real gamblers?

It seems to me that you were the one waving your wand and uses all the magic spells lol  :P. I didnt remember much but by the time I was knocked out, you had around 1 BB or something while straateflu5h had more but then you ended up getting #2 spot which was amazing !

I always talk about this, and really anoys me, i cant believe how a lot of guys dont play any thing of tournaments we have here in the forum, no matter what fee they have, and also they clearly can pay that, because they are enrolled in the signatures campaign.

The only pool were we see a really good ammount of people its the one for EPL, 65 or something like that, but asides of that....

I don't keep up with any soccer pools or leagues. Is this a free pool? That might explain why so many more participate and further proves my cash grab statement. If it's a paid pool, then it would show that more people are more interested in soccer vs poker.

I was twentiwan at the last poker tourney, betnomis software was nice, reminded me of pokerstars.

Might join again tomorrow, depends on a few outside factors.

✂
Also, I suck at poker but I'll put a prize on my head each week to the tune of 0.015BTC which means that if you take me out in any of the weeks you are basically freerolling the rest of the tournament.

the poker player you mentioned is CoinEraser - a forum user from the german localboard ;)

Might join again tomorrow, depends on a few outside factors.

Still only 8 of us registered currently. Question for next weekend. It's Easter weekend and many may have plans with their families, are we pausing for a week or still planning on running the tourney same day and time?

I would be for a break. It's quite possible that I won't have time on Easter weekend. I'm not sure yet, but so far it looks like it. What do the other participants think about this topic?  8)

I'm fine with it either way. We are doing dinner on Saturday here, so it's whatever everyone else wants to do. I do not know how many participants do things with their families and we mightwant to find out so we don't have 3 people in the tourney.

i have also thought about this and now that i look at the last posts from you (and i personally would also be for a break on 09-04) i suggest that we should take a break on this date (easter sunday) and then it continues on 16-04 with the third tournament

@icopress can you forward this to betnomi so? :)

15 minutes to go and we are at 12.

Sorry guys I can't sign up for today, but will for another 2 games 100%. Hope I still have a chance for the final table... good luck

Total of 13 players.

Its amazing how people in poker idolize AK. It's a draw hand folks, not an auto all in. Anyways out 9th with KK losing to an auto allin with AK. I think I will save myself 40$ and sit out the rest of the way. Good luck guys.

^^^
Yes i'm complaining. I always lose in these spots and it's pretty gross. Add in the million disconnects and the aggravation isn't worth it.

I will gladly arrange a $200-$300 buy-in game if we can find at least 5x.

What a hand my friend, I lose half of my stack with KK vs A's... I didn't think darxiaomi had the as, and after that, I had top pair with J as kicker and darxiaomi take me out with the same top pair but with A's as the kicker.  And even if I lose I had a lot of fun with him, I was even joking in the chat about putting a price on his KO and stuff like that, and for me it was about having a nice time with the community.

Yes sorry! I guess that was me. I didn't expect you to actually call the all-in from me. I thought you were bluffing and I was trying to steal your bet. Never thought I'd win the hand. But luck was unfortunately on my side. Sure, that wasn't good poker playing on my part, but I'm not very good at poker per se either. Sorry it went like this.  :)

GG to everyone who played along. I had fun that evening and would like to thank everyone who took part.  :)

Let me educate you if I may.

Thanks guys, it was just pure luck and actually I felt that I'd lost to ccwatcher, but somehow I survived, even twice. It was fun tho and such a good atmosphere playing with you guys. At least I could won something after I lost my bet on Man Utd >:(

Good luck for the upcoming rounds! It's confirmed that the round 3 will be in next two weeks right?

It's quite disappointing to lose that bet after you won the first one and waited for one week to see the other result.

Even though I'm very bad at playing poker I really wanted to join after darxiaomi's pm very much. However I wasn't available at the weekend unfortunately. After the Easter break you can be sure that I will also be at the table. Thank you for the reminder darbit!

 ;D :D Your trust setting doesnt say the same. Are you trying to hide us?

Nice to see you here mate, i hope we can be more a serious users at the tabble, im not an expert but i think i play average.

@CLS63
even if you don't win an Icarus card at poker, there will soon be the possibility to buy other editions of Icarus here in the forum and later on our own website ;)

Too bad we will not have tournament this weekend, I was ready to get KO by darxiaomi for the third time, I will have to wait one more week for it. lol.

But it will be hard to get points to be in the last table, I need a miracle now, and I hope to get points on this one because another way my motivation for the 4th game will be totally gone.

Honestly, I have done a terrible work in the past 2 games going all in with top pair, so I will chase better hands for the next ones.

if someone gets one of the Icarus cards and is willing to sell it - please dm me.

Cygan, I would like to donate the prizes that are owed to me in favor of MML (if possible).

no problem. a nice gesture from you and Mopar will surely be happy about his cards.👍
@MoparMiningLLC the cards will be sent out after the tournament has been completed. :)

Hello guys Im new here. Is the tournament is still ongoing every Sunday with same details written on this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437680.msg61693400#msg61693400 post? I’m interested to join with if the buy-in is still 20$ for the next tournament.

I’m literally just new from this kind of tournament so please be gentle with me. I notice that there’s a total of 5 games on the whole tournament is that means that I will need to buy-in every week in case I didn’t win for that particular week?

I hope all this players finally end playing the next round, so we can be more than 20 and the pot can be more desirable.


This easter break fill up your luck?, lets see who its the fortunate.

I guess there are some theoretical chances for you to get the seat for the final table, to be first in the next two games.

4 games, 2 already played... Today we made a break cause of the Easter holidays (for some of us Easter is next week ;)), so the next Sunday we will have the third game. 5th game (free from buy-in) is the final table for people who got enough points in qualifications... the first four games (with buy-in). I guess there are some theoretical chances for you to get the seat for the final table, to be first in the next two games.

Anyway, poker is good... and there are these Icarus cards we are getting. So maybe you should join and try your luck. With more people in we have more chances to see new series in the future. :)

the third tournament, which will start this sunday, has been announced today on betnomi. so now the registration is open and we all hope for ~15 players.
let's have fun at the tables again 8)

Thought Betnomi forgot this round. I'm also registered now and including myself 3 people have registered so far. Hence my appeal to everyone, register and be part of it again this Sunday.  ;)

Players: May an Icarus accompany you at the end of the day Sunday at least.  8)

That's good to know, I think I will join the same day, but still thinking about it, it has been a hell of a week and maybe I take that day off to chill and enjoy with my girlfriend. But we will see, I will do my best try to be there.

I feel the compromise to join because if I don't join who will be the kind man who will donate all his chips to darxiaomi, my compromise is full with him, lol, just joking, I will take my revenge darxiaomi, I will find you and will bluff you!  :P

I have started to listen to Lady Gaga's Poker Face song already now. I will be proud of joining you also tomorrow. Most probably I will be the person to lose first. :D Is being the winner of the day is enough to win an Icarus card?

I joined, puts us up to 8 participants now.

I dont see your username there and btw it seems there is an issue with the register button? I have clicked the register button several times and it just wont let me register for some reason. Probably thats also why you are not registered yet?

Anybody else encounter this issue or is it an issue from my end? Definitely not an issue with balance, I have $25 left on my account and its 23 euro so it should be enough to cover this week

I joined, puts us up to 8 participants now.

I'm really glad you're playing again!  :)

Does anyone else have problems with Betnomi right now? I can't connect to the poker area and keep getting an error message.  :(

17 players - awesome!!!!
but who is straateflu5h ??? :)

Yeah, that seems to be a secret. He said last time he might have a bitcointalk account, but didn't want to reveal more.  :)

GG to spray.! I was lucky and my JJ held up.  :)

Unfortunately I did it again and kicked yahoo out of the tournament. I feel really bad about it.  :( :( :(

I said that I was bad about poker. I wish the people around the table played with their usernames on bitcointalk. I couldn't recognize any of you except icopress and cygan fellas. I still don't know the lucky bastard who pushed me out of the tournament. :D Anyway I still want an Icarus card very much. I will do my best next week.

No reason to feel bad. You played your cards and I played mine. You caught a good river, it's poker.

I'm happy with my Icarus and the €180 prize I take home today...

If you don't end up winning 1 next week and if cygan doesn't mind, I have a card that i'm not going to claim. If cygan doesn't mind you claiming it, i'll let ya depending on how you do next week.

Look who cleans his reputation today... on the first tournaments I get in last place and this one I take first place! What a game guys... what a comeback, and what an end.

I only made it to 4th place again. The same as last week. Somehow I'm not supposed to win any money. GG to everyone who took part. As always, it was a beautiful evening.  :)

I really enjoy it and let's hope those 10 points get me to the last game, I would really love to be there, but for now, I'm happy with my Icarus and the €180 prize I take home today...

And let me share this awesome pop-up with you.

Anyway, GG and see you next week.  :)

That was pretty close and you played better than me this evening. It was kinda surprising that you all in on that hand, you were playing pretty tight since the 1st table so I thought you are the player that would even fold AA just to get that 3rd spot because I was left with 3-4 BB left  :)

Hi guys, I couldn't make it the last two weeks unfortunately, but I am looking forward to be playing with you tomorrow evening. I assume there have been no changes that I missed? I haven't been following this thread for a short while so if everything is the same, count me in.

I will absolutely play much more careful than the previous week tomorrow. I'm sometimes taking risks unnecessarily and this costs me too much. I hope that these poker series continue. I'm really very sorry for missing the first 2 rounds.

This time the tournament was added to the lobby rather late( However, I registered too!
