#2 Bitcointalk Poker Series (0.05 BTC & BIG BTC Ticket sponsored by SwC Poker)

[Globb0]

I can just say good game!
Many ups and downs for me, I had problems with ScW app, I had to restart computer several times. I had minor problems with connection, but this time it was madness, every time I had to restart computer and get in again!
See you tomorrow! I hope there will be more people than today!

That's frustrating when it times out and you have a great hand.

It takes a bit of time to realise you are out. That person uses up their time then its like, hold on a minute its me whos gone out.

Congrats, winning series #1 was no fluke it seems. You should also say thanks to @Betwrong, because he waited for you to reconnect while you were (forced to) sitting out in heads up Fair play from him

I'm afraid I can't make it today. 

I have moved todays 200 chip fee to the third tournament next Saturday, hope this is ok. If not, just shoot

[figmentofmyass]

congrats on the win Iv4n, and well played Betwrong!

That lucky SyGambler taking 3 points even without playing! Criminal!

lol, pretty unbelievable.

there was one hand where i folded TT preflop because JTisCuban shoved, a big stack called, and SyGambler still had a couple hundred chips left. so there was a strong chance of a 2-point jump if i folded. flop ended up being Txx and they showed AK vs AQ, would have tripled up at a crucial time. damn ICM considerations!

See you tomorrow! I hope there will be more people than today!

i'm a little disappointed with the 18-player turnout. OTOH it's great value considering the money/prizes added to the championship prize pool. i know CoinEraser and big_daddy said they couldn't make it today and would probably be there tomorrow.

it's still a wide open series. lots of value still there for the taking......

LMAO I totally forgot about the tourney today and haven't checked the forums as well but got the news from your mention 
seriously how did I manage to last that long ? were there some crazy all-ins with several players getting knocked out or what ?

I need to start setting reminders for the events especially that I have online German courses each Saturday around the same time of the tourney

As expected from the previous winner 

See you tomorrow! I hope there will be more people than today!

I cant make it to the series as well because I got things to do . Lets hope that I could join Sunday's game. Some people could be showing up at week 2 or week 3 series after they check the standing of the tournament. To make sure they still have a decent chance to win and advance to the grandfinal


Kudos to whoever made that spreadsheet, it is great !

...

congratulations again to Iv4n the terrible 
i personally had good hands yesterday and could play for the first time on the final-table - i finished as 9th
my best placement so far

[Betwrong]

Good game, everyone!

Initially my aim was to take the 7th place. The logic behind that was the following:

7th place - 4 points

8 tournaments, 4x8=32, with 32 points I'd have good chances to qualify for the Grand Finale.

But with the help of big luck I managed to finish on the 2nd place. Man, I couldn't wish for more!

Congrats on the win, @Iv4n!

Thank you to all for participating!

And thank you guys, @figmentofmyass and @tyKiwanuka, for watching the game till the end! A game is surely more entertaining when there is an audience.

Special thanks to you, @tyKiwanuka, for giving me the advice to wait for Iv4n to reconnect. At first, following my base instincts, I started to devour Iv4n's chips, but then I saw your advice in the chat, and I stopped. Yes, I would've won, most likely, but I'd feel so shitty afterwards. Sometimes what we need is a good advice from an outside observer. Thanks for that, mate!

[iv4n]

Good game, everyone!

Good game indeed!

Thanks for waiting me! Probably my first instinct would be the same, but as it seems we have a nice audience that helps with good advices! A huge thanks to everyone! 

I'm sure we will have a nice game later, I can only hope I will have as much luck with some hands as I had last night! That would be a nice streak for me!

See you later at the tables, I wish you a nice game and lucky hands!

[efialtis]

Hey guys,

congrats to yesterday's winners - that was another fun tournament with my personal highlight being SyGambler (not even logged in) reaching final table and even earning 3 points...


My friend tyKiwanuka just notified me that it's my 1 year bitcointalk anniversary! What better way to "celebrate" this than a bounty on my head in tonight's tournament?!  Whoever manages to knock me out - and that will be very hard of course - will receive a 3k chips reward in his SwC account!

See you at the tables guys, until then, have a nice Sunday!

[Steamtyme]

Well seeing as it's my last night shift coming up I'll try and set an alarm and join the game today, try and get us over 20.

I hadn't checked the thread out until last night but once again that is super generous of SWC to put out such an awesome prizepool addition.

Class act there Betwrong. Good luck all if I don't see you at the tables. If I do make it I won't be able to record today. Next week though I will try and do the same thing as last series.

Just saw tour post efialitis... damn that is a far 1 year bounty. Might just have to set 2 alarms lol.

[CoinEraser]

Congratulations to Iv4n for winning the first game! Apparently you also want to win the second series. 

I have moved todays 200 chip fee to the third tournament next Saturday, hope this is ok. If not, just shoot

Yes, everything was done right. Great, thank you!

And I have already taken 1k chips in advance 🤪. Just kidding. Congratulations.
Let the best man to win and I will hope some good cards for me. I really do not want to end up like last night.

Like we needed extra motivation to take you down

Nice one, hopefully you will be at my table so I can keep my eye on you from the beginning and happy anniversary.

This is a good one Trofo! I can't stop laughing!

Efi you will have hard time tonight, or the best poker ever! Expect people to call every move you make!

Before I played KO tournaments, and it's really fun to play it, when there's bounty on every player you kick out the game! I saw SwC have them too, but I didn't play it, I should give it a try these days! Maybe we should consider making some KO games for us, it can be interesting!

I opened a bottle of wine, wife and kids are taken care of, dog is fed, dishes clean... I am ready for the game, what about you?!

[figmentofmyass]

only 16 registered today? quarantine relaxing and spring weather, i guess.

joint rolled, coffee brewed. got a few ice cold beers in the fridge for the final table.....

[CoinEraser]

Even today my luck has left me and I am out on 15th place. GG to all and to the winner of the game. Late registration has ended and we have a total of 19 participants.

...

that was the reason why i'm not on the tables today with you guys 

[morvillz7z]

GG everyone, i was dealt pretty awful cards today, folded 95% of the time and at the end forced my way out.

What do guys think of late registration time? Isn't 55min a bit too much especially now when we have a lower number of participants. Could we make it 20-30min tops, if possible of course?

I see that next week's games have 5k starting chips, at last...should be fun, have some more early action.
