By the way, what's with this mystery player? You mean this is a bounty on his head as well, am I right? Let's get some cards rolling later on.

Yes it is IMO, it is called by mystery player because we do not know which player is having 5mbtc bounty on his head.
It will be a surprise prize to beat this mystery player, and it will make participants try to beat all players in order to get this additional prize.
I wanted to play in this Poker with Steve since sometime but the starting time is not really good for me as it is on 2am.

Same problem as me then in that case:) But one extra hour for me so it is 3am for me! I actually managed to join twice I think, but that was really crazy timing and I was so sleepy I got knocked out within an hour on both times;) No worries, they have to cater to the majority timezone AND of course, Steve's timezone!

i was seated at 2 tables before getting knocked out ~ 1.5 hours in. one had 7 sitouts and the other had 6.

If you want to play some nice poker game then this is a bad table , atleast in my view. If you want to increase your chances to win some money then I'd say this is a good table with 7 sitouts. I can project myself keep raising my chips to collect all those free chips from all those sit outs  

exactly---except if you are out of position (OOP) vs the active players. then you are at a great disadvantage since you constantly have to act first. dead money is nice but playing handicapped is not.

Too bad

if they are alt accounts intent on chip dumping, why are they sitting out? so many of these accounts just blind out to 0.

My crazy lunatic theory about this would be Some guy could be throwing tons of alts into this freeroll because the number of participants are high therefore throwing tons will ensure some of it will be seated on the same table. If he can get a head start of 20 or 30 k after 2 or 3 chip dump, that would be enough because continuing further will raise alot more suspicion on him so he let all the other alts blind out to 0

Another one of my not so crazy theory would be, some people just register and never shows up  

My theory is that they enrol multiple accounts and then start playing by going all in in early stages of the game. If they lose they just switch to another account and try again. That way they have multiple chance to continue the game with 20-30k chips after the first half hour and then continue to play normal game and forget about other alts.

Evidence that support my theory is a lot of all ins in early stages are often called on weak hands plus a lot of this inactive accounts go all in in first few hands after activation. If the accounts don't activate early in the game they usually just bleed chips until the end.

Few weeks ago I was sited on table with 7 inactive players. They activated one by one every 5 minutes and went all in in first or second hand. I followed every time an won every time and got like 60 k after first half an hour. Other times I was out very early.

Yesterday we had another great time at Sportsbet, playing POKER with STEVE. 154 players were enrolled, and although I would prefer 100, but real and active players instead, overall it wasn't a big deal. In fact, this time I was lucky to sit at tables with only 1 or 2 inactive players, and others I knew well by previous games.

I lasted for more than 3 hours, and was knocked out by @Turquinito, losing all-in with KQs.



What could I do, when I had only 3-4 BBs at the time? Finished 15th, which I considered a good result.

GG, all! Thanks, @Steve and Sportsbet!

Just a suggestion: I think it's best if the main subject / title will be changed because I thought there was another 1btc poker tourney.

I think I have seated with you until the first break but unluckily been napping through and through but indeed it was great I think I only finished on 48th spot or 49th, too bad lol!

Hi Guys,
^^ Here are the top finishers from last night.. well done. ^^

We will do one more next week and I think that will be about it then. Its been good fun and we will do it again some other time, but won't be weekly anymore. More details to come! 

Fingers crossed in the office here for Watford tonight against Burnley.. We really need Watford to get some points so we will all be watching!   

have a good day!

regards,
Steve

I have a feeling today is a day Watford will start to claw their way to safe part of points table. It will not be easy but I believe in hornets today. They looked ok in the first game after restart and Burnley looked a bit flat. Granted Burnley played against atomic City squad but I expected them to show a little more will & fight anyway.

@steve: Will you be offering fantasy games for next season's NFL?

Im not a fan of Watford but I do want them to stay on the premier league next season otherwise it would be so weird. Imagine if Steve started the promotion to watch Watford's game with him next year then We fly all the way to UK only to watch Watford play in The championship  

Besides that I want those bitcoin logo to stay on the premier league to spread more awareness

We will do one more next week and I think that will be about it then. Its been good fun and we will do it again some other time, but won't be weekly anymore. More details to come!  

its been great throwing 40 mbtc each week. Hope you guys can revamp it abit probably with some buy in, definitely will attract more real players instead of some player with tons of alts  

[boltz]

Watford deserves to stay in Premier League for next year and I would love to see the eternal derby between West ham and Milwall in Championship, who wouldn't love to see that ? Predictions for tonight ? I would say that Watford wins , Southampton wins and a draw at City.

And...
I missed last night's poker. Including this I missed 3 or 4 tourney in a row I guess. I also missed watching football last night. There were some emergency which I had to response and messed up all my plans.

the problem with all the sitouts is it creates a very obvious advantage for some players and a disadvantage for others. when there are only 2 active players at a table (as is often the case) then the player to the right is OOP 7 out of every 9 hands, whereas normal HU play means switching position every hand. that often leads to nonstop bullying from the player in position.

it's great when you're the one at an unfair advantage, or when you're at a table full of sitouts collecting blinds without ever playing a hand, but that isn't an ideal game of poker in my view.

i'm also not sure how all the sitouts help overall site traffic.

While you feel cheated or bored sometimes but sometimes you get advantages too. I am not saying that I was the one who was able to take advantages from it every time but accepting the reality reduce the expectation. In most of the cases I found it went against me. I lose my concentration and then make mistakes against serious players.

I think a player starting a ton of alts to get better is not a good theory, I think the one where alt accounts all go in and some of them just get lucky with a good hand and a good opponent hand and just get a ton of head start over everyone else makes a lot more sense. However I feel like "people registering and not showing up" must still be a bigger theory that is probably right.

Sportsbet is not some noob website that was started recently, this is a website that sponsored a premier freaking league team so I am sure they have the best developers money can buy and they are working hard on preventing alt accounts in poker games and try to code that in the game so that nobody could do it. That is why I think alt accounts can't be that much, sure maybe one or two more accounts but not crazy amount since sportsbet would catch them in that case.

Watford deserve to stay in Premier League for next year and I would love to see the eternal derby between West ham and Milwall in Championship, who wouldn't love to see that ? Predictions for tonight ? I would say that Watford wins , Southampton wins and a draw at City.

Watford only deserve to stay in the PL if they get enough points to secure survival. You get what you deserve over a 38 game season, Watford are definitely good enough to get the points required to stay up & I think they will.

We need to step up our game in this 2nd half or things won't go smoothly for Watford consider the fact that we're missing 2 key players Deulefoeu and Success. Besides this, Welbeck is not in a good shape since it came here and I think it should work harder in order to prove again that he is still a top player who can score goals and make the difference on the pitch.

Today if Watford able to hold Burnley then surely they are going to stay in Premier league and relegation fight will be on for West Ham Aston Villa and Bounremouth as two teams will go down from these 60 minutes gone Arsenal leading by 1 goal and Watford is playing with goalless draw look like both are good for third match City is going to ruined Chelsea surely

Watford lost, southampton lost and it could be a draw for Chelsa vs City

I would love to see the eternal derby between West ham and Milwall in Championship, who wouldn't love to see that ?

I would and Im aiming to win on the event to watch Watford with Steve incase they make another on for next year. Therefore I would love to see they stay on the premier league isntead of going to The Championship

Cross your fingers, if they lose their next match probably they will be at the bottom three 

Sportsbet is not some noob website that was started recently, this is a website that sponsored a premier freaking league team so I am sure they have the best developers money can buy

Sportsbet is a great sportsbetting site but they are not at poker , also they didnt develop their own poker software and so does tons of other website.

and they are working hard on preventing alt accounts in poker games and try to code that in the game so that nobody could do it

Im sure they are but you know how easy it is to bypass using a VPN?  . They could easily prevent it by adding some buy in to discourage people from using alts. They did said something about changing it after the last game on next week so We'll see 

[boltz]

Do not worry guys as I'm sure Watford will stay in Premier League this year as most of the international fans are hoping to see the biggest derby of West Ham vs Millwall in Championship and for sure it will be on every country in europe on TV and not only. Today Watford played well but the luck came alongside with Burnley and same goes for Arsenal who pretty much found a good shape today to win against Southampton but don't forget that Soton are all for attack and they kinda don't care about their defense.

Liverpool champions 19/20 of Premier League!!! Congrats!

I totally agree, the only team to beat Liverpool should be the team to stay up, among having great players with a great style too! They narrowly lost to Burnley but there is still 21 points to fight for and I think Watford is the most capable to doing it right now.

Oh and congrats Liverpool:)

[Betwrong]

Hi Guys,
^^ Here are the top finishers from last night.. well done. ^^

Thanks for posting the top 15 instead of top 12! I wouldn't be there otherwise.

We will do one more next week and I think that will be about it then. Its been good fun and we will do it again some other time, but won't be weekly anymore. More details to come!  
~

Sportsbet was already very generous to run so many weekly tournaments like that. It's been fun indeed, regardless of the place taken, but I personally made it to the top 12 at least twice, probably more, so it was double fun for me.

Can't wait for more details!

Thanks, Sportsbet and Steve!

[swogerino]

It is Steve multimagic this weekend and is all in the Bundesliga this time.While I agree with his choices I think that it is really difficult to win 4 games by choosing the stronger teams as it doesn’t always happen like that.I am going to place a bet the same as Steve anyway to see if it comes out as a win.

[sportsbet.io]

Hi Guys,

Surely I can get this multi up! invest your 2 mbtc and then put the winnings into Watford on Sunday when they take on Southampton..
