Shit, i don't love moments when i have 666AA full house, i'm calling and on River rising, while my opponent finally shows also full house but 66AAA :c
But KK monster hand it's at least some satisfaction for my damned soul :/

I can't count how many times I lost from higher full house, or higher flush, straight... There is one thing that repeats for me, I am thinking how to rise and lure him to pay so I can take all his chips, and in most cases when I think about that I lose all chips! I still remember a hand where I lost a lot of chips, after some time of playing and mostly winning I got K6, little rise, call and flop was KK10! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I thought nice, he raises I call, turn card was 6! Now I have full house and all I am thinking how to take his chips! He raises I reraise, he just calls. Last card was some little not important card, I thought I have him and after all ins he showed K10! He had full on flop! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) You can't dodge a bullet every time, and there are hands when you either get busted or you double your chips!

For me the worst such thing is when you have 2 cards of the same color in hand, the 5th one comes on the flop, you go heavily and there's another one on the river and you lose to a guy that followed with less than 25% chance of winning the pot. Losing to a higher colored card in a flush is fine if you both have 1 or 2 in hand, but the situation I described is one of the most infuriating ones for me personally in poker in general. Especially because he then re-raises and you just have to pay it and see ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

So that's a reason why many poker gamblers tells to play only with high rank hands. With A-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and some lite that (K-6) it can be situations where while yo get K-6 someone get K-10 For me, i mostly looks how my opponent plays. If i see he calls - reraise with no much time to think, and i have something like K-6 it's a very big probability that he has something bigger.

It is hard to judge when playing online, at least for me. This is actually my first time playing poker online, I don't really like it so far - I think my edge is in reading reactions and I cannot do that behind the keyboard. Therefore, in this tournament I played mostly according to my own cards but in poker that works only when having great cards - which is not often enough for it to be a winning strategy.

I think we can make an anniversary over this and how about an idea for the anniversary?

I don't think that's necessary since it has already started with no re-buy option besides no re-buy option for a tournament with a championship, I think it should how it is; no re-buy option.

Rebuys at these kind of tournaments are counterproductive, at least in my opinion. Some people might have less money (although we are not playing for high stakes here) and they would be at a disadvantage in a rebuy-allowed game mode. We are looking for the best player on BTT so it's best if there are the same rules/criteria for every player involved.

Okay, I agree with you both. A rebuy-structure with a championship doesn't make sense at all. But wouldn't it be an option if we really want to find out the best (and not the luckiest player) to increase the starting stack? This model would lower the variance.

Yeah playing online, most of the time people do not really play like they should or how you watch from TV mostly because those people know that the amount of money they are losing is not really big of a deal in this context which is why they can be a little bit more aggressive. I learned this the hard way when I first started, remember those zynga poker games? I started with those because I had zero previous experience and that was the most perfect way I could learn without spending any real money. Then I moved to real money stuff and I was playing with too much stress and I was scared of losing anything, even on micro stakes I played very defensive while everyone else was betting the pot on 2-7 type cards, which I lost to many times before I realized maybe I shouldn't be all that scared neither.

Before setting up the tournaments, we were of course also thinking about a rebuy option but decided against it for previously mentioned reasons. A bigger starting stack could be possible of course. Please keep your ideas coming everybody. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Well it took me way too long to register [the site kept asking me to wait a minute everytime I chose a username that was taken ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ], but I finally got onto this forum! Hey guys, I'm new here, but share your passion for bitcoin and poker; and I would love to become an active member of your forum. I found your freeroll on Sportbet. How does one come about the password? Regards, Doodles.

Hey Doodle, it is not a freeroll, it is a 8-game tourney with a 1.2 mBTC entry fee for each of the games. The 9th game is the final table for the best 9 players in qualifiers. We have already played 4 of them but if you're interested in joining, just register on SwC and then we'll tell you the next steps.

Thanks for bringing it up here efialtis I guess I might missed it if this haven't been posted by you here, really thanks! I'll pm the account for the password.
