I am still in "Bitcointalk Anniversary Mood", so there will be another bounty tonight... knock out my bud tyKiwanuka aka EnterScreenN for a 2k chips bounty!

In addition to that - wanna join us tonight but you are short on funds? No worries, post here and I will pay your buy-in - first come, first served! (This is not for you rich kids out there )

w00t - i hope that i will get that far and then sit at a table with 'tyKi' 
i am still in "Bitcointalk Merit Mood" and will give ya the next merit  👌🍻

I like this classy touch where some of you guys offer to buy people in.

Its very kind of you.

will the 2k chips be credited at the current game or will they be credited to the user account?

Thanks for the bounty!! That makes the game a bit more exciting.    tyKiwanuka, sit down at the table with me tonight.

I think to the user account. That's the way it was the last few times.

Yeah, the guy who knocks out tyKiwanuka will receive 2k chips in his player account via p2p transfer.

Hahah man, you are becoming a superstar! 😂 I wish I could have some of your Serbian Booz along with some nice Barbecue! 😂 And while you posted, I raised the bounty to 2k - tyKiwanuka is bad but 2k is fair! 😄

Well Greece isn't far, and I live on south, so I am close! When you decide to pass by I will be here! But I don't like to talk too much about it, if it happens you will see for yourself!

For a good mood and motivation I will follow Efi and I will add 1000 more chips to his bounty! I already sent chips to Efi, so now bounty on tyKiwanuka is higher!

Let's have a nice game tonight, for me this day is already beautiful, with our game in the end it will be like the cherry on the top!

I was going through the last 2-3 pages of this thread and sensed some negative vibes among members. It looks like we have lost the main purpose of these tournaments - 'fun', right? Compare the posts from these 8 pages with 40 from first series and you will find how charismatic everyone was sounding in previous series. But here we are discussing about the late registration problem, how some members are just playing to make to championship, how some members knowingly sit out, how some members play defensively to make point and what not! It seems like the purpose has been shift from 'fun' to 'money' and that's why I think we are seeing the drop of 30-40% participants.

Well, I can tell personally for myself that I don't care about any of the above. For me member may come at the first minute or the last, use whatever strategy he can, I have paid over 0.01 BTC to play these series so far just because I enjoy playing and keep on doing so until I am enjoying. So please everybody let's keep these issues aside and let's not think too much and play with peaceful mind.

Quoting this heartwarming post for others who missed it to read.

Indeed let's keep it friendly and relaxed, guys, as it was in the very beginning.

There are 110k active profiles on bitcointalk. I refuse to believe that we can't get 110 players for our series! 

Let's discuss ideas on how to get more participants. (Words from those who are willing to participate, but can't do it for some reasons are especially welcome).

See you at the tables today! GL to all!

Just read this and I am not gonna trash talk until we finish the game. Whenever I trash talked, I lost LOL
I will try to play my regular game.

Don't consider my PM eligible for this even if I would see it before sending the PM 😜

Thank you very much efialtis. You are really generous.

Enjoy! Hope to see you on the table. What is your username there?

Just under 3 minutes left looks like we have 15 registered, here's to hoping we see a few moire. I have the recorder set up so we'll have a video to recap, hopefully I catch the bounty on video. Good luck all.

Tyki is now on the same table with me and he is leading the game with 6300 chips

Edit : He lost to yahoo and now on 5100 chips while I was writing this lol   Not an easy bounty for sure lol but It seems someone might be able to knock him out sooner or later

We indeed ended up in the same table but it as sad to see you go out. Two constitutive big lose against imaginethat and you are out! Poker is a funny game. I think in the last one you wanted to bluff but the same guy had better card so he caught you again!

And I always end up confusing between shipdachips and suckmychips LOL. All those times in my first table I was talking to yahoo but I thought I was talking to HHampuz 😜

[efialtis]

Some quick update: I am loving tonight's tournament and especially my table - this is real fun and how it's supposed to be!

GL everyone and enjoy yourselves.

@FOMA nooooooo - I opened the 2nd bottle of vine - Iv4n is already completely out of space with his Serbian rakija since noon, lol.

where is EnterScreenN?! 

[figmentofmyass]

terrible luck today. none of my premium hands held and i lost on a couple nasty river cards. i lost a preflop shove from @efialtis, KK to his AT, for like 30% of my stack shortly after the first break. it was all downhill from there.

knockout hand: i had 12bbs left, @cygan limps from late position, it folds to me in the SB with A9. i shove to steal the pot. he had limped QQ!



good game, hopefully the poker gods will pass me some of @Steamtyme's rungood tomorrow.

Tell me about it man - been sucked out big time tonight and really remembering me why I stopped playing online poker for so many years...

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

I ended up like Trofo.
I was doing well but one big hand and I am out. Not sure what the fuck was in my mind but I called ALL IN in the the flop with an A10 where yahoo had AA in his hand. On the deck there was a 10 and without thinking any fucking further why the hell I called that big get of yahoo, I have no clue.

I noticed this losing mind thing always happens with me. In most of the tournament, I have a strategy and I follow that. Take myself in a better position and then in any hand for few seconds, I lost my fucking mind and give away all the Chips!

Yahoo was enjoying my calls I guess 😜
