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

[cryptofrka]

I had a blackout yesterday, anybody who was on the table will know what I am talking about. I think that was a biggest mistake I made while playing cards ever

Anyway, congrats to the winner and I am coming to get you today 

I always check on how you and big_daddy are doing (we are the same nationality) and I saw you well in the lead. I rejoined 30 mins later to see you were out - I assumed something must have gone terribly wrong for you.

Looking at those pics, just curious guys: You really arent switching to 4-color deck?

Nope, tried it for a few rounds, it just seemed so weird

See you in a bit more than an hour fellas, my luck has to turn sooner rather than later.

There are players multi accounting ? it's really not worth it unless they make it to the top 9 so not really worth the time

guys this is supposed to be a friendly series please don't fuck it up , I guess SWC can figure this out and ban all the accounts associated

[efialtis]

Yahoo and me will discuss the matter after today´s tournament and will most likely also introduce new rules. Play it fair men!

+1 please don't fuck it up guys. If you are in this only because of money then you probably shouldn't even be here. You can better earn it multi accounting in cash games probably. This is a community initiative and should have a social component as well. Money is only a cherry on the top.

Why don't you say who it is?! Name him! I think we are all friends here, at least we started like that, so you should say who it is!

I think you should propose those new rules to all, and let us vote! That would be fair, and that would be in the manner we started all this!

Tournament is ongoing, I wish you all luck, and let's be fair to all of us and do things in a fair manner, like until now!

The players involved will be addressed after the game ends. Not fair for those of us playing to have to deal with this midgame. Not fair to others playing to have to deal with someone multi accounting.

I believe SwC does not allow multiple accounts from same IP to be logged on at same time, and I don't think they allow vpn access to site. Not 100% sure on that, but it wouldn't allow me to login while I had my VPN on.

To add a little to the situation as what I believe to be more proof, the players in question 1 was knocked out then 2 minutes later the other joined.

[big_daddy]

I lost again... in an All in that I was not sure more than 30% on my call, awful cards two days in a row... well, I hope that next weekend is my weekend

good luck to all remaining players on the tables

[cryptofrka]

What to tell you.. I was chip leader for a long time, then lost an All-in to Trofo with QQ after the flop, he got A on the turn.

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.

I really took time to evaluate, wanted to fold and would have done in 9/10 situations if I had that choice again, but at that time I just took a call that turned out to be a really bad one at the end.
Shame, I really think I played a good game until that moment and that one was against the chip leader. What can you do.

[rhomelmabini]

How can they manage multiple accounts? I think they have multiple devices as well but logging in on the same IP is easy to detect by the system I guess. Let's see who it is.

GG! Too many dangerous players having chips right now, really a good luck for the shrimps.

[so98nn]

Yes, it was good game with amazing turning points at every stake!

Well the most thrilling All-in game was between youcantwin and ceehe i guess when POT was with 10 K chips. 

I loved it the most, first both were putting all the chips they could, youcantwin ended up putting all and lost to Ceehe with pair of QQ.

Here is the click for same, it literally gave me goosebump while staring at the screen... LOLZ

[Trofo]

To add a little to the situation as what I believe to be more proof, the players in question 1 was knocked out then 2 minutes later the other joined.

So, basically a rebuy chance was used today. If the second player also lost his/her chips quite soon, let them continue to sponsor the winners

Just kidding, they should be kicked out if there is clear evidence, they are basically making the fools out of everyone who abides the rules and that sort of behavior shouldn't be allowed.


@so98nn
Damn, you were hanging on that table with basically no chips for quite some time. I don't have patience for that. If I get that low I am always all in on first decent cards.

@bttBt
I see you lasted to the end. We had some really strange hands today. Congrats for getting the better of it today, hope you will win it. See you next time  

Was a good game today. I changed all positions from almost loosing all, to being chip leader few times. Had bad cards for the most of the game but shitload of luck on all in hands when I wanted to force something.

[iv4n]

Second time in this series I lose with KK in the most crucial moments! It was a good game and I thought I am heading to final table with KK, but I got busted!
Congratulations to all participants! Poker is a game of skill, about 90%. but those rest 10% is luck and you can't go against it!
I hope next week I will have a bit more luck, it's all I need to win at least one tournament!

[ceehe]

Well, I showed shipdachips how it's done 😘

[CoinEraser]

Good tournament. Gg to all! In the end I was out of luck , but at least I got some tournament points. Hopefully we'll all see us next weekend back at the table.  

[rhomelmabini]

Well, I showed shipdachips how it's done 😘

Quoted and verified. LOL! Saw it and really 44 over (KK/AA)? can't remember it right but it was a big risks by shipdschips.

Just can't wait to reveal it.

He was and I recognized how he really is it professionally really not the one to be tamed even on low chip. Around of applause with this guy.

Good tournament. Gg to all! In the end I was out of luck , but at least I got some tournament points. Hopefully we'll all see us next weekend back at the table.   

You're the one who busted my luck as well. GG!


I think I can't join on the rest of the series and I doubt I can really make it to the finals too, I think I need to lie low besides I feel like I'm insomniac playing late every weekend. I wish everyone to have good game as always, I think I'll join next series if it will be set up.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

And finally I had it.



I was in good mood today and luck was favoring as well. At one point I thought I lost all because I was all in at the early stage of the games. But I did not know that I had A5432 LOL and then with Trofo some really strange hand twice! We both had same cards and both time I think I was all in.

I knew since I have started learning poker only 5 weeks ago that I am improving but yesterday and two rounds in the last week I did not get lucky and I also had some bad calls but today I think I got lucky. There were some bad calls though but since I was lucky I made it to the top.

Some moments that I had screenshot:


Imagine how would you feel when you have AK and your internet connection lost for one minute and you missed this hand to bet? I had this moment today LOL


Sucks when you see this and you folded early LOL


And look at this! Four of a kind and you folded early. This happened with me today LOL

@bttBt
I see you lasted to the end. We had some really strange hands today. Congrats for getting the better of it today, hope you will win it. See you next time 

Enjoyed it every bit brother.

Here is the new leaderboard. Now it takes 10 points to make the final game. As you can see, we have multiple players tied in points. I will discuss how we break that tie with efialtis and announce it here today/tomorrow.

I am thinking, if we have a tie for the last spot, the player with more total cashes in all the games gets the spot. Another way( which is probably better) is add up all the players finishes in all the games, the best average finish gets the spot. I will discuss it with efialtis and see how we want to proceed.

Well, I showed shipdachips how it's done 😘

Yep, way to get em in behind and hope you hit. I want that call everytime. You came out the victor this time, but hopefully I win the next time.

Congrats BitcoinGirl.Club for the win.

Yes I was.

Actually it was more or less giving me a lesson on how to play the cards with lowest possible stake.

I literally resurrected myself many times when i was as low as below 200 chips!! lol

Now I have gotten some defence skills so far. Hopefully the patience and tricks will make me gain some profits in the poker in long run.
