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

that's probably the culprit right there---TOR. even more than making everything slower, it kills a lot of scripting functionality. i would try loading it in a normal browser (firefox/chrome) with your normal connection, or VPN if you are in a restricted jurisdiction.

Yeah the TOR connection sucks but it's working for me on other things so I haven't really thought about having a paid VPN lately. I used to have VPN though.

i will set something up for next weekend on SwC over the next couple days.

I am ready to challenge for a good game in this round. In the last event I was not even lasting 5 minutes LOL

should there be any changes to the day/time/structure, compared to the last SwC tournament on 3/22?

I am okay with the time as we had last time.

I have VPN access, but it's simply not working for some. On my SB account for example, I can use VPN to access most of the site, but it still blocks me on some games and options possibly based on my recorded location IPs.

BTW, there are still good free VPNs to use, as simple as browser extensions, if all you need is access.

Also, ok with same SwC settings. Could do with much earlier time though with daylight savings I def can't make it

I'm good to go next weekend. Wherever we play I will grab a screen recording again as I will be playing from the comfort of my home lol.

I'm good with playing anywhere and the time doesn't matter much for me I can go a few hours earlier or later.

Man, imagine you would have played in the comfort of your home and not while working and via mobile - you super grinder!

With everyone being in different timezones we have to find a time that is inconvenient for all. The current time we have been playing seems about as inconvenient as we can get for all. I would rather it be a couple hours later but it is what it is.

how would it be, if we always organize 3 tournaments as asia/europe/america edition?
...but maybe there aren't as many players in each tournament...

if it does work out, we can eventually bring the best players from the tournaments to one table for the big final table

The issue with that would be that some players would try to enter multiple timeszones tourneys.

We all are just gonna have to set an alarm if we are interested in playing the tourney. I'd like to see this thing grow into 50+ players. As efialtis said earlier, we have a big announcement coming up. I think people will be interested.

Should be posted within a few hours.

We are getting more and more players, thats great. Lets see if we can top the 19 participants we had @sportsbet last week.

Worth mentioning: I see more and more bitcointalk "faces" at the SwC poker tables...  GL to all of you, keep grinding!

It's all because @figmentofmyass.   Personally, i don't played at poker for too long, and now i'm addicted again :c

With my luck I mostly fall into the situations where while i get KK, someone turns out with AA   yeah, "epic"

P.S: But yeah, after Sportsbet poker rooms, SwC poker is just like Gods heaven, design, opportunities, number of players.

i've had my share of coolers too. need to ride out that variance. one of these days, i'll have a run of decent cards that actually hold up.

are you planning to play in the championship series? i didn't see your name on the spreadsheet.

+1. i find sportsbet's poker software to be tilting. SwC has a much more intuitive UI. i'm glad other players are thinking the same. no need for VPN or worrying about KYC at SwC either.....

So far nice turn out  for today see everyone in 20ish minutes.

For me it wasn't because I ended up on last (joking aside). I'll still try and try this one is a great experience to be on this online poker gambling life, not that big but still you'll feel that the ambiance is there.

SwC is not a picky one just create an account and you're good to go for the upcoming tourney. See you later on the table. Flopping time.

I have just created a discord Bitcointalk Poker Community Server: https://discord.gg/E9bJ22

Joining the server & actively participating is now mandatory in order to join future bitcointalk poker tournaments!

... Well, okay, of course it´s not.   Still, I would be very happy to see many of you join the server. We can use that communication channel for all our chit chat & possibly even for constructive things such as password distribution when the time is running out etc.

[CoinEraser]

I´m afraid... you.cant.win...  Have been practising all week and now 1.2k Krill!

Ouch, that was certainly some hands you had to play for that. 1.2k krill is not little. I still don't have 100 krill, because I usually only play with 1/2 or 2/4 stakes. 

Looks like I'm gonna have to practice a lot more to keep up with you guys.
