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

[morvillz7z]

I recovered, was around 5th place, then idiotically followed an all-in from a current table chip leader who had QQ to my clubs KJ.

Tough luck man, it took you some time to call it, i was starting to think you were playing with me and gonna pull out AA and kick me out, guess not.

And finally I had it.

Congrats, i was able to beat KK just a few hands earlier, but couldn't do it a second time. 

I've sent 800 chips to youcantwin, i should be good for the remaining 4 games; ID:41572486

I usually would not have, but it was a big pot and I kinda felt that you are trying to push me away. I was feeling really great at the table the whole day, most calls I made were good, the only hand before this one I lost was to Trofo where he got lucky on the turn.
I wanted to keep playing and didn't like the all-in at that point, we all make a bad call eventually but in this series I'm picking horrible times for mine.

GG from your side to trap me like you did, if there was less money in that initial pot I'd never have followed. Greed is the mother of all fuck-ups in poker.

Important Announcement

Two "player(s)" have been removed from the series due to multi-accounting. They have been notified about the decision a few minutes ago.

I hate to do that but there is no alternative - it is just not fair for everyone else involved and while we may not have 100% proof, it looks way too fishy.

Not going too much into detail, quick and dirty: One user has been accused of multi-accounting a while ago, "defended" himself that it was a friend´s acc etc. Okay, but adding to the situation that when player 1 in question yesterday was knocked out, player 2 joined the tournament a minute later.

You may now call me whatever you want and flame me for this decision - anyone who knows me should have realized by now though, that I am an honest and fair person and the last thing I am interested in is giving people a hard time here on bitcointalk.

That being said: Yahoo and me are investing lots of time and effort in this series and it really pisses me off having to deal with such bullshit in a friendly poker game series.


We have also come up with a rule on what happens if we have players tied for the last championship game spot. Thats what happens:

In case of a tie, all finishes of the respective players in all of the games will be added and the spot goes to the player with the best average finish.

Well done BitcoinGirl.Club.

Sucks when you see this and you folded early LOL

Don't think I would touch that, feels too risky

Great job guys. I dont understand why people even need to do that in the first place.

Its just so much fun to play on that table with your friends and enjoy the thrill, hidden cards, chips and that Kling Kling sound of winning coming your way.

I think this was a good decision. Cheating the tournament is just lame and bad. At least it should be fair and we want to have fun at the tournament. Either way, a good find from you.

Time will tell - we received a response and I am still not 100% confident these guys really are cheaters - evaluating the situation even more and... possibly withdrawing the decision. Will post an update here - the easier would be to say this is final but that wouldnt be fair either and I rather have myself looking bad for probably having taken a "wrong" decision than excluding anyone who still could be a legit user.

I support this decision with all my heart because it makes us to fight for every place, not only for the paid ones or those in the top 10, where you can get some points. IMO, it makes the game even more exciting.


@BitcoinGirl.Club, congrats on winning the tournament! For someone who has started learning poker only 5 weeks ago, you are making impressive progress.

GG, everyone!

Looking at the current leaderboard, I think only SyGambler and shipdachips(yahoo62278) are guaranteed to qualify for the Championship game, and another 7 spots are more or less open for competition. So, those of us who haven't performed that great so far, myself included, still have a chance to play in the Championship game.

Good luck!

Well, to make a decision is not easy. I think all the people here in the thread are behind you no matter what the decision is. Take your time with the decision. I think you'll do the right thing. No matter whether the decision remains that way or is reversed.

UPDATE: Important Announcement

Full Disclosure: The decision has been partly revised, there is no 100% proof the accounts belong to the same person and their "story" actually sounds reasonable.



- Kvanko responded very reasonably via PM and made his point in a polite and professional manner - he is welcome to take part in the future tournaments.

- johnnyUA is banned from all future tournaments of this series.

Johnny didnt only show some bad manners but also started "personal attacks" (if you wanna say so) and even threats - people who have done what I did to him would get far worse in his country than just personal attacking and unpolite messages he says...

Fact is, johnnyuA is not banned for "cheating" but for acting like a person I do not want to have anything to do with. I am spending my fucking free-time for this and I do not allow anyone to personally attack and threaten me. His 800 chips have been returned to him.

(I absolutely understand a high frustration when being accused for something you may not have done!) but thats way too much.
