Bitcointalk Poker Nights Discussion Thread (private games for btctalk members)

[webtricks]

I can definitely do that, but who is running this freeroll then?

Hey Doodle,
There's a misunderstanding between you and cryptofrka. The one you are talking about is SportsBet freeroll tournament and the one cryptofrka talking about is SwC Poker tournament.

You can surely play the SportsBet one for free. All you have to do is send personal message to Steve who is the owner and representative of SportsBet on Bitcointalk. Here's the profile:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=832366

I don't know if he's allowing newbie accounts to participate or not. But you can try asking for the password.

I fell for this two wondering why I couldn't find it. Sportsbet.io was the original platform.

 the poker is not accessible in UK Redirects to sportsbet.uk with no poker

Hey guys,

even though not related to our current series but since this is our general bitcointalk all poker thread - the sportsbet guys have come up with a nice poker tournament for tomorrow evening!

...

Ohhhh, I didn't even notice that. Otherwise I would have certainly played along. 
I'll have to keep an eye on all poker threads to make sure I don't miss any more of this. Did many people participate in the game?

97 if I remember correctly. I busted out early though - will do better tonight, I hope.

When is the next sportsbet.io poker tournament or you guys took break from it?

Thanks. 97 participants is not bad. I really missed something, too bad. 
Fingers crossed that things will go better today. Hope to see you at the final table.

I don't know either, but I hope there will be another one soon.

There should be one on Sportsbet every Wednesday for as long as there's no sport to bet on - Steve said so in the Sportsbet thread.

It is a freeroll tournament though so there are a lot of registrations but not a lot of active players - at least the first one was like that.
Still a great way to practice for free

I know it's a little late but it would be cool if we could set up a 10-18 place consolation tourny even if it's not for much.  I'd be up for one if I fall in that range I dont know if anyone else would be.  Just a thought...pretty bored sitting at home everyday lol.

why don't we just run a regular tourney (standings don't matter) at the same time, for everyone who doesn't make the championship? that would be more fun IMO. even if i make the championship, i'm happy to play both tables at once.

maybe a few of us can add some chips to the prize pool to make things more interesting? i'm in for 2500 chips if someone else will match me.

[efialtis]

Regarding our SwC Poker Series, I will try to come up with an alternative for us losers...

I am down for another non series tournament if we can get people together. I have next to no chance of playing in the finals but will still be playing this weekend, and will be free for the finals weekend as well. I am trying to participate in all tournament being held just to support them.

The wednesday sportsbet.io freeroll doesn't work for me this week as I'm plugging away at work this week. They are also a long run to the final table lol. Hopefully they take some of my suggestions to heart and work in their "betting layout".

a couple top 3-4 finishes and you're back in it---a challenge but certainly not impossible, knowing your game.

the format is a little unpredictable. some underdogs could still emerge victorious if ranks #7-11 don't perform this weekend.

thanks for the heads up about the private freeroll. i'll probably be there, timing is perfect. and yes, let's do something for all the losers!

[cryptofrka]

Even 2 wins during the weekend would not guarantee me a place at the final table. So, if we're doing a tournament for the losers, I think I'd be interested in playing as well.

I kinda got used to spending weekend evenings with you guys. Or at least an hour or 2 - that's how long I usually last

[akhjob]

Sorry for hijacking this thread with a bit offtopic query.
I could have asked it in their ANN thread, but it looks like most of you guys have been using SwC Poker for quite long for playing tournaments. So, I would like to know if the Android App is safe to be downloaded and used on my Mobile phone? Or you guys just play it in the browser?

  Thanks for the vote of confidence. Saturday will be telling but I'll likely be playing both days anyways, always down for an interesting game.
I've had some absolutely disgusting beats the last couple weeks, so just waiting to get on the other side of things. Can't run bad forever lol.
If I can find them across my devices I'll post them in my thread for a laugh.

Been playing on tourneys just on my mobile browser and I've got no issues, you can play either landscape or on portrait mode unlike on Sportsbet that you'll just have to play it on landscape mode. I haven't downloaded the app for mobile phone but I guess you'll find no issues with it as well I'm confident on that.

Good morning to all you grinders,

What is your tag on SwC ? I have been getting up to speed with freeroll tournaments. I have the same name as here.

In SwC it's bttBt.
In sportsbet, I did not play much yesterday and today it keeps saying it's not available in my zone LOL. I tried to reset the tor several times but no luck yet

- An additional game for all the great players who unfortunately didn' t make it to the final, is set for 5/3, 1 PM EST / 5 PM GMT.

Very good to know this for the losers. Possibly I will be one of them LOL
So Sunday is the day!

[so98nn]

Yeah, being on bitcointalk poker is best thing. Its great to be with our friends on the other side of forum, rather than being professional and stuff. Its fun when we play on the weekends. Current SwC poker series is just best of all and im loving to play. Im running short this weekend, but hopefully will manage to swing by if time persists. But I do have to agree that, its fun playing and being chatty when you are in there with other forum mates. Off-course there are some action figures who always win big and make me feel motivated. Good game everyone. Keep it up.
