Bitcointalk SwC Championship Poker Series(50 mBtc added by SwC)

[buwaytress]

Well done guys, looks like we're beginning to see a pattern here of who's good and who's not. I will probably join one more Saturday game, that's the day that works best for me. So on average the tourney lasts 4 hours. Definitely need to shelve family and tell them straight up I want to play poker next Sat;)

Good luck tonight to those playing!

great game everybody and well done yahoo you kicked my ass  sending  1400 chips now for the rest of the games , hope we have a similar number of players as today
don't you think guys the game is slow ? can we maybe at least make the blinds levels 10 minutes instead of 12 ?

I mentioned this before, but to be fair this time there wasn't anyone sitting out too much (my connection left me dead for a hand or two but otherwise everyone played generally quite fast) and 12 minutes sort of ensures no one is just folding/sitting out all the way till final hour.

I finished 12th, no prize, no points, but somehow I have an impression that it was one of the best poker games I ever played. That time I spent playing with you guys was definitely worth the buy-in! I want to participate in all the upcoming games, and even if I will never make it to the top 10, I will not regret playing all those 8 games, because I can't imagine how can I better spend 120k sats.

Great Game, everyone!


200 chips sent to youcantwin. Waiting for the password.


Also, if there are no objections from the organizers, I'd like to continue with a side prize, namely, the "Bad Beat Prize", here.

Please read the rules in the quoted text below:

In the hopes of adding a little bit more fun to our game, I'm setting the Bad Beat Prize, 0.0025 BTC.

RULES:

If your

- full house is beaten by four of a kind;

- four of a kind is beaten by a better four of a kind or a straight flush

- straight flush is beaten by a better straight flush

make a screenshot so that we could see what happened, something like this



post it in this thread, and you'll get 0.0025 BTC transferred by me to your SwC Poker account.


From my experience, the probability of such an event is pretty low. So, I will be more than happy to give away 0.0025 just to see the screenshot of this happened in our tournament. It's a good deal for me. Really.

Good luck!

See you at the tables!

I know 0.0025 BTC isn't that much, but it's enough for 2 buy-ins in these series, and then it's suddenly a lot, because it's hours and hours of wonderful time.

I'm not against, but do we really need it? I like 12 minutes blinds, we have time for playing before we get to higher blinds and all ins every hand. It's luck vs skill, I think with faster blinds we need to relay on luck more than on skill, but it's my opinion. Like always I will go with others on this, if more people agree I'm in as well!

10 minutes blinds make it just a little bit faster not much faster , so variance is still small in that case
yesterday the tourney took a little bit over 4 hours to finish , so if it took a little bit less than that I guess it will stay a good tourney with much of skills involved

it's still great though since I guess the majority of us have no much to do in these days

[efialtis]

Good morning everybody,

I would like to thank you all for taking part and really make this a great night - I was hoping we would attract fellow bitcointalk mates to have some fun playing poker but the interest being so big, well, thats just awesome! 

Thanks to those who have sent chips for today´s tournament - if you have already paid the extra chips but havent received the password, please hit me up.

Lets see if we can reach the same number of players (or even top it?!?) tonight - see you later!

Nb. Regarding blind levels - I will talk with SwC after today´s game about it - I think 10 minutes would be okay but not less.

I support 10 minutes blinds as well.

Yes, the games are fun, but not everyone can afford spending 4 hours two times per week on fun.

I personally don't care much... But I would stay like the way it is because championship already started.

Yahoo congrats on another great win! I was drunk and tired and I didn't have energy to stay and watch entire game. Cehee contributed to that when he busted my KK!
We set up a new record, congratulations to all participants!

can we maybe at least make the blinds levels 10 minutes instead of 12 ?

Better luck next time for many of us, and that next time is tonight! Already 8 registered players, with me 9, and 11h 22 min until the tournament starts!

I'm for 12 minutes too. But we can try with 10 minutes at least to see how it will be.

Just an update for everyone so you know what we have collected.

Currently 24 have paid fee for todays game and 15 are registered. Total collected so far to add to the prize pool for Champions game is 18,800 chips but 200 will be refunded to GretaThunder who paid fee for yesterday but did not play or can be used for a different tourney, their choice.

Hopefully efialtis hops online soon. I have been messaging him on telegram with no response so far. Still a couple hours to go, i'm sure he will be around before the game.

Can I still join and play the series today onwards?

The series is still open to everyone. Even if you cannot play all the rest of the games, you can still join and try to make the money in a game or 2. Follow the instructions in the OP to get pw and welcome to the tourney.

Someone is reporting issues with SwC website right now, he can't log in:

Are servers having pretty big issues today? I've played a HU table and auto top-up didn't work, wanted to re-login and now I can't.

Is it on my part or is the site down?

I'm having the same troubles, stuck at 98%, tried different browsers to no avail. Can anyone access it? Game 2 is supposed to start in 2 hours from now.

Same here. I was able to send money and right after that had issues with connectivity. Neither web app, nor windows client seems to work. Definitely some kind of server issue. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, really want to participate in today's game.

Edit. At last, was able to log in. Everything is fine for now.

[yahoo62278]

I see glitch was in chat 20 mins ago. He is 1 of their team and i'm sure they're working on the problem. Hopefully the issue is solved prior to games start time.

Actually looks like they're back now.

For everyone who is waiting on the pw for todays game, pm me a screenshot of your transfer to youcantwin and i can give you the pw

[cygan]

still about 30 minutes for the 2nd tournament ... hurry up boys and girls for the registration 

there will be a lot of fun again and hopefully i will be there longer today than yesterday
definitely got my own stake in this 💪



fingers crossed 

[big_daddy]

I got the code and I'm IN
no need to send the screenshot

See ya soon 

[efialtis]

I think everybody who paid should have the pw?

Starting in 10 guys - excited once again!
