Betcoin.AG has been kind enough to host a tournament for us.

Some of you may say why betcoin.ag and not another poker site?
or why a 11mBTC buyin?
or why this specific time?

I feel this is the meet-in-the-middle solution!

Good buyin nice prize but sadly all my Bitcoin is tied up at the moment. Maybe next time  

[hopenotlate]

Unfortunately I cannot play on Saturdays , would have played it if it was played on Sunday same time.
Maybe if there will be a new one lets play it on Sunday please.

[ftwbtc1]

Sounds like fun OP and look forward to joining the group.  Will this be a weekly thing?  You should do some weekly rankings and stream the tournament.

Sure hope so!  We will see how interested everyone is, possibly tweak the time/date...How are Sundays for you?

[Junko]

Great job OP on getting this set up. The price is right, but unfortunately, the time isn't good for me. Anytime on Sundays and I'm in. Hopefully it does become a weekly thing.

Good Luck to all those that can make it!

Oh, and by the way, pretty much everyone on the betcoin.ag site knows the password to this tourney by now, even those that aren't bitcointalk.org forum members. 

And just curious, who put up the 200 mbtc guarantee? You or betcoin? Well, Thanks to whoever did. Really cool.

[jerowacik]

an attractive offer. I save it and come back again. reserving ..

Definitely hoping to get a BitcoinTalk weekly game going!  It seems Sunday is a popular day so far, we may try that next week if this one goes well!

Not really worried about the password getting out.  Would be fantastic to have a large game, and if we can pull in more users to the forum because of it, double win!

Betcoin.AG put up the 200mbtc, a big thanks again to them for helping with all of this!

[panjul07]

Interesting tournament and great prize but unfortunately the starting time is not friendly to me, it will be after midnight in my timezone
Hope there will be another tourney like this in the near future that is more friendly to me.

Yeah, I hope there's a good turn out too how ever way it happens so it can be a regular thing. It's just Saturday is a day for going out and doing stuff and getting things done that need to get done. While Sunday is stay at home, chill, watch sports, get high, play poker. Prolly why most poker sites have their flagship million dollar tournaments on Sundays.

Anyway, like I said, I hope there's a good turnout Saturday so we can keep it going in the future.

Cheers

We will definitely look into moving to Sunday if that's what the people want!  Thank you for your input.  Greatly appreciated!

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Would love to play but I'm not a good player. I'll be interested to follow it though if that's possible?

Good luck to all involved.

[ronaldo40]

I really like playing poker, I will try to follow it if possible. how the distribution of prizes to winners 1,2 and 3?

Spectators are welcome!  Feel free to watch live as we play

Prizes distribution changes with how many players join.  Currently there are 6 players and 1st & 2nd pay out.

[Nobitcoin]

This is going to be a regular weekly thing ? Sunday best day to host it.

Everyone is not a good player as well. It is just for fun and for meetup between bitcointalk poker player so it is better to join the game. The buy in is just low enough and currently around $3 which is very small amount to wager

[Joel_Jantsen]

Seems its like well organised .Its on weekend at odd timings in my country zone .Would love to see how the experience of other players maybe you should do this more often on that basis .

[OshiMike]

We will definitely plan next one for Sunday and see if the turnout is better.  I won't be able to attend next Sunday as I will be on a plane, but will help organize it to make sure it goes off.  Only 5 registered so far, that leaves a 2/5 chance of winning a prize, you don't have to be a good player, you just need a little luck and a few bucks!
