Hey guys,

its getting a bit quiet - I am looking forward to this weekend´s tournaments, how about you?

It´s Easter for us Greeks (Orthodox) but I will be home due to that plague... no lamb on the spit this year... :/ We will still have lots of food, Ouzo and Greek wine and in between that, I am confident this is going to be my poker weekend!

Yeah, can't wait to play some poker! The last game was terrible for me but I learned some lessons. This time I hope to reach TOP-5 at least have some fun, despite of the end result.

It's Easter for Serbians too! Wish you all the best!

I wait tournament, last weekend was bad for me, I will try to be better this time, I can say I am a bit impatient!

You can't be a poker player without confidence! I am confident too, as many others I assume, it's what makes this tournament special, except confidence we have experience, and that is a good combination for winning tournaments, but winning is not possible without third ingredient, and that is luck of course!

I am up for this tournament with all my patience and upgraded skills.
Lolz, I hope I pick some good cards this time. Usually I do but there is always someone who has that extra pair which will overcome mine.

Imagine loosing yourself with pair of queen and king,  that hurts.

Will be sending my chips right on time once they are baked.

I hope you will get better figmentofmyass, I have a neighbor who got it as well but he came back after 5 days and just stays at home, some people do not really have it as bad as others and some even do not even realize they do not have it at all, lets hope you will be feeling like you have nothing very soon and even actually not have anything real soon as well. Nice for this tourney to happen so that people who are bored and lockdown at home can play but I never really imagined someone who actually has it could also feel good enough to play so that is at least some silver lining there and great for the brand as well.

And from what I understand by efialtis' post, it is surely looking like some of you are making this lockdown period something quite entertaining as well .

Is everyone waiting for the last moment to join or are we getting fewer players this weekend?
I see only 12 have paid their fees and 7 taken their seats already.

Side question, how many points do you think will be enough to secure a spot into the Championship game, 20 or more?

I will take an afternoon nap after my lunch. So after waking up I will join. Not joining right now just to ensure that I do not lose some hands just in case I wake up late.

There are 4 more tourneys left so it's had to say but I do not think 20 will be enough. May be 30+ is a safe margin for now.

tonight i will be at the tournament again and will bluff as good as i can

Don't expose too much. It's a mind game and don't let them to read it 😜

[Globb0]

I installed the software and played a few freerolls to learn how it works.


I keep getting bored after a few hours and throw it away.


How do you manage to focus for 10 hours? don't you have wives?

[iv4n]

How do you manage to focus for 10 hours? don't you have wives?

Tournaments without re-buys, add-ons last 2-3 hours, more or less depends on the game and starting chips, of course and blind that can be from 3 minutes up to 15. Games with re-buys, long late registration, add-ons can last 5+ hours. Tournament we play have just 55 minutes late registrations, without re-buys and add-ons. The ones we played with re-buys lasted 4+ hours, now we are around 3h!
I have a wife, and kid! Simply I play tournaments every weekend and that's my thing, I finish everything I need before that, so I can play tournament freely!
Right now kid is taking a daily nap, I have a free time to play a bit cash game, have fun on the computer. You can arrange your life as you wish, you just need to know how to find a way!

How do you manage to focus for 10 hours? don't you have wives?

No way I would sit in a poker tournament for 10 hours. Unless we are doing 1K USD buy in or something like that. 2-3 hours on weekend is manageable. I also have a kid and a wife and it is difficult to manage it but as iv4n said I also try to make up for it before the tournament. Put in a bit more effort during the day and then enjoy a poker tournament in the evening.

That being said if we weren't under some kind of quarantine there is no way I would be able to take part in all this tournaments.

And I have a 17 months old little girl and a beautiful wife. Check my girl here: https://bitcoingirl.club
The last was was around 2 hours, the longest I think was 3 hours if I am not wrong. 10 hours is too long and I do not think I have patience to last more than 2 hours LOL

Man, I am sorry to say so but all you are doing is actually posting random stuff here in order to meet your (new) gambling signature campaign quota... Please use other spam megathreads to do so. This is no personal offense!
