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

-snip- what do you guys think, should i go ahead and set up a game for the 23rd? -snip-

I agree with both proposals. Waiting is ok for me, but also playing poker on SwC on 23rd would be ok for me. I know that's not very helpful, but I just go along with the majority no matter what the decision is.

I'd be fine with trying out SWC just to be sure we have a tourney and everyone gets more than a week to get prepped. I'll just have to see if i can access it through mobile.
This might be useful anyways for everyone who couldn't join or didn't want to kyc.

playing poker on SwC on 23rd would be ok for me.

i've asked SwC to set up a private NLHE freezeout tournament for 2/23 @ 6pm GMT. i'm waiting to hear back and confirm the details (password, blind structure, late registration, money added).

i'll be adding 0.0025 BTC to the prize pool from my own money---a little extra incentive to get people in the game.

i'll post details in the thread when i know more.

It can be accessed through mobile and tried it few times and so far it turns out good.


Thanks for the heads up @figmentofmyass that was too diligent for you to really make this happens and to that prize pool. I'll be waiting what will be the outcomes and as well to efialtis if he comes back. Can't wait for a tourney with bitcointalk members.

[figmentofmyass]

SwC got back to me. here are the tentative details:

Date: Sunday 2/23
Time: 18:00 UTC
Name: "Bitcointalk Forum Tournament #2"
Buy-in: 0.001 BTC = 100,000 chips
Late registration: 45 min

Starting stack: 3000 chips
Starting blinds: 10/20, antes begin at 50/100
Speed: 12 minute blind levels

hopefully people are okay with the non-turbo structure. i think it should make things interesting and will give latecomers a fair shot.

apparently they can't add extra money to the prize pool in non-freerolls. so i'm just gonna manually pay 0.0015 BTC to 1st place and 0.001 BTC to 2nd place. please post your SwC handle in this thread prior to game time so there is no ambiguity about the winners!

i'll update the thread when i have the password and the game is in the lobby.

Great. As mentioned, I am not able to join on 23rd, but will be regular participant afterwards (if I don't rage quit at some point^^). If this is ok with you, I can update the Bitcointalk/Sportsbet/SwC handles in this post here, already added a column: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5217547.msg53793470#msg53793470

I have enough funds, both on Sportsbet and SwC, to participate in a 0.001 buy-in tournament, and I'm okay with 18:00 UTC, so count me in. (My SwC Poker Name - Betwrong).

I'm going to follow this thread, but still I think it would be great if PMs were sent to the potential participants several hours before the tournament starts.

Can't wait for tournament to start! Good luck, everyone!

[iv4n]

I thought we will play today, but next Sunday will be OK too. I don't have account on SwC, at least I think I don't have, maybe I played there years ago but I can't remember, I will have to check that. Count me in for the next week, good rules by the way, I like when blind levels are +10 minutes.

Edit: SwC username Iv4n, see you there in Sunday!

Thank you for all your effort and organization plus your donation for the jackpot. That's really nice and generous. Looking forward to next week and the poker game. 
Before I forget, my name on SwC is also CoinEraser.

[rhomelmabini]

please post your SwC handle in this thread prior to game time so there is no ambiguity about the winners!

Does it mean we will play the tourney at SwC or the things will be finalized once efialtis comes back? Anyways  I have no grudge on both casino as long as it will be wrapped up and we can play by the 23rd. My handle for both casino are the same K1R1T0.

As what I suggested before can't we have a telegram/discord group to converse things? I think that will be best alternative once a user wasn't online in the forum.

[figmentofmyass]

the next bitcointalk forum tournament is now in the lobby at SwC POKER! https://swcpoker.eu/



"chips" at SwC = uBTC. so a 1000 chip buy-in = 0.001 BTC. they are not charging us a tournament fee, which is pretty sweet!

later today, i'm gonna load my account and register to make sure it's working right, then i will PM the password to everyone on this list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5217547.msg53845473#msg53845473

remember, SwC requires only an email address to create an account. no KYC, no banned jurisdictions. so everyone is welcome!

i am adding 0.0025 BTC to the prize pool manually. 1st place gets an extra 0.0015 BTC and 2nd place gets an extra 0.001 BTC.

if your SwC handle differs from your forum handle, please post your SwC handle in the thread so we know who's who!

[manchester93]

PM me the password for sure. The time works for me.

[figmentofmyass]

@buwaytress has offered to add another 0.0025 BTC to the prize pool if we get > 15 players. thanks dude!

Awesome figment thanks for that! I can't make it on this one though, as am away on Sunday evening BUT I'll be very happy to match figment's personal contribution (0.0025 btc) if you manage to get more than 15 players signed up.

the password has been sent out by PM. anyone who is interested in playing and hasn't received it, post here or PM me. the password will also be posted here the day of the game.

Thanks a lot, I received your PM. If I have time on Sunday I will surely join! Thanks for setting it up and for the extra prize pool! I am really excited for this: Shuffle up and deal boys!

I confirmed that I've received it and I already register on the table along with @FOMA. I just hope sooner or later we can see people registering. Good luck to all of us and let the rolling begins at 23rd.

Only cause I feel bad I can't join, the first one was pretty cool if you ask me, and we should def make this more of a thing, though as I mentioned to figment, I actually probably will have even less time in the future...

Good luck everyone, and figment, do PM me to say where to send the funds. Is there a way to tip in SwC?

[figmentofmyass]

FYI for new SwC signups: BTCgrinders.com seems to have the best rakeback deal---15% better than anywhere else i've seen. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4615373.0

there is a p2p transfer function, yep. we can sort it out if/when we get 15+ people registered. there's just 2 of us for now!

SwC told me they can only directly add money to the prize pool if it's a freeroll, not sure why. so i planned on just manually paying people (either bitcoin or on SwC) afterwards.

I wish I have seen this thread when I am just about to sign-up there, I'm totally a noob to these kind of things.


I guess that will be no problem to all participants if it will be paid manually no issues on handling it @foma. I think we should wait for other players then we still have five days.

[cryptofrka]

Hey fellas, I think I'll be on the road but I might just get home in time. I'm returning from a weekend holiday on Sunday.

If I register and am not able to be there at the beginning, I will be automatically placed at the table and the game will just be taking my blinds, right? I will not be kicked out due to inactivity?
