#4 Bitcointalk Poker Series @ SwC Poker (0.06 BTC, BIG BTC Ticket by SwC)

[efialtis]

#4 Bitcointalk Poker Series is real!

I am happy to announce that our 4th Bitcointalk Poker Series @ SwC is happening and it's coming soon, very soon! The first qualifier will already be played on this coming Sunday. SwC is once again our host and and adds the following prizes: 0.05 BTC guaranteed Freeroll for the Finalists, BIG BTC Ticket worth 0.01 BTC, 0.01 BTC guaranteed Runners Up Freeroll  & a SwC Flexfit Hat!

The qualifiers are already live in SwC's tournament lobby - I have already received all passwords and will share them with the regulars shortly. Even the Runners-Up Finale has already been set up.

I feel the lottery was a nice addition and so the rules and conditions will remain the same as in season #3. Below you can find all the information regarding Series #4.

See you at the tables and let's see how many players (and new players) we will be attracting this time around, so spread the word please!

General Information & Series Structure

The Bitcointalk Poker Series sponsored by SwC Poker can be joined by any interested poker player with a Bitcointalk account. If you don't have a Bitcointalk account yet, feel free to make one. We would be happy, if you engage in discussions about the series and/or Poker, but it's not mandatory. We welcome players of any skill level, any age, any gender, any colour. The tournaments will be played on Sundays 5 PM GMT.

The series will feature 8 qualifier tournaments, a Grand Final, a Runners Up Final, a lottery and hopefully lots of fun and suckouts. There is an internal points structure, where you accumulate points to qualify for the Grand Final. Every participation will also give you tickets to the lottery. If you are a regular player, you will automatically qualify for the Small Final.

We play Texas No Limit Hold'em, the starting stacks are 5,000 chips, blind levels are 10 minutes and there is no late registration available.

You might also want to join the Bitcointalk Poker Community Server on Discord: Join here.

The first three series:
Series #1
Series #2
Series #3

Entry Fees & Passwords

The entry fee per tournament is 1,400 Chips or 0.0014 BTC.
1,000 chips you pay for registering for the tournaments directly at SwC.
400 chips you send to the SwC account "youcantwin" via P2P transfer. 200 of those chips go towards the prize pool for the Grand Final, the other 200 chips towards the lottery.

There are no entry fees for the Grand Final and the Small Final.

The tournaments are password protected, you will get the passwords via Personal Message (PM) in this forum, after you have sent the 400 chips per tournament to youcantwin. If you intend to join all 8 qualifier tournaments, it would be helpful, if you send all extra fees (3,200 chips) upfront.

The Qualifier Tournaments

A total of 8 qualifier tournaments will be played inside 8 weeks, Sundays 5PM GMT. If possible, register as early as possible, since there is no late registration available. Just send 400 chips to youcantwin, get the password and register for the tournament for a fee of 1,000 chips.

Q#1: 08/30/2020
Q#2: 09/06/2020
Q#3: 09/13/2020
Q#4: 09/20/2020
Q#5: 09/27/2020
Q#6: 10/04/2020
Q#7: 10/11/2020
Q#8: 10/18/2020

Internal Point Structure

To determine who will qualify for the Grand Final, we have an internal point structure, where you get a number of points for each tournament, when you finished inside the Top 10.

10th = 1 Point
9th = 2 Points
8th = 3 Points
7th = 4 Points
6th = 5 Points
5th = 6 Points
4th = 7 Points
3rd = 8 Points
2nd = 9 Points
1st = 10 Points

If two or more players have the same amount of points after 8 tournaments, the average finishing position in all tournaments participated will be the tie-breaker.

The Grand Final

The 9 players with the most points from our internal point system will be eligible to play the Grand Final, which will take place on 08/23/2020. You will automatically get registered for this tournament and don't have to pay an entry fee. As in the past, SwC is sponsoring 0.05 BTC among other things for this tournament and the 200 chips per tournament and participant from the qualifiers will be part of the prize pool as well. This additional prize money for the Top 3 will get sent to you via P2P transfer on SwC.

1st: 50% of Prize Pool + BIG BTC Ticket worth 0.01 BTC & a SwC Flexfit Hat
2nd: 30% of Prize Pool
3rd: 20% of Prize Pool

The Small Final

Every player who joined at least 2 of the 8 qualifying tournaments, will be eligible to play in the Small Final, no matter how many points they accumulated. That is in case both Finals will run simultan You will receive a password for this tournament and don't have to pay an entry fee. TBD: I prefer only players to participate in this who have not qualified for the Grand Finale.

The date and prize money is TBA.

The Lottery

To give anyone the chance to win some money, we introduced a lottery for the third series, which will be funded from the extra fees you send to youcantwin. With each participation you will get 10 tickets for the lottery. For every point you get via the internal point system, you will get one additional ticket. So if you played 6 tournaments and accumulated 18 points, you will have 78 tickets for the lottery. If you played only one tournament and did get no points, you will have 10 tickets. Etc.

After those 8 qualifying tournaments, the draw from a trusted member will take place via a random number generator. Each player can only win one prize from this lottery, so if you win a prize in first draw, the rest of your tickets will get voided. The number of prizes depends on the amount collected for the lottery. For every 10,000 chips, there will be one prize. If the total pool is 18,000 chips, there will be two prizes of 9,000 chips each. If the total pool is 24,000 chips, there will be three prizes of 8,000 chips each. Etc.

The prizes will get sent to your SwC account via P2P transfer. The date of the lottery is TBA.

The Spreadsheet

You can follow and monitor all happenings in the spreadsheet: Bitcointalk SwC Poker Championship Series

If you have any questions or find any mistakes, feel free to mention it in the dedicated threads or PM @efialtis or @tyKiwanuka.

Miscellaneous

If you paid extra fees upfront, but aren't able to participate in a tournament for whatever reason, the extra fee will be considered a donation, unless you request a refund. You won't get any tickets for the lottery, if you don't participate in a tournament, even if you donate the extra fee.

Any dispute should get resolved via majority decision.

Great news man, I was a bit worried after your recent posts in other topics about our future. Glad all that got resolved and we are continuing as usual.

Maybe you could lower that number of tournaments needed to enter small final. I would put it at 2 or 3 tournaments, 5 seems like way too much. And if it is set in the same time as big final, maybe those who play big final should not be allowed to enter small final.

[Globb0]

I will be up for it.

Also we may see some new faces, there were a few recent enquiries to our threads.

Now we have something to look forward to again.  


Thanks Efialtis

Yeah - been a bit tough but eventually, it looks like we found a "solution".

Yeah, I edited and made it min. 2 participations - regarding Grand Finalists, tbh, I would prefer only places 10+ to be eligible for the Small Finale, no matter what. Opinions guys? Again, I think we shouldn't worry too much about this - the Small Finale really is just a generous bonus by SwC.

I will be up for it.

I know you will! Good to have you man.

So how can someone participate for the game if the person develop interest to join.
Some really need the protocols before engaging into it.
I really love the price for the winner and their even paying with bitcoin.

One needs to just set up a poker account on https://swcpoker.eu/ and download the poker client to play.

With regards to entry fees and tournament costs you need to fund your account on SwC Poker with Bitcoin.

The details then are the ones listed above "400 chips you send to the SwC account "youcantwin" and 1000 chips when you register in the game with the password he will send you. Same for each weeks game.

[arallmuus]

download the poker client to play.

You can also play from the browser wthout having to download it 

Yeah, I edited and made it min. 2 participations - regarding Grand Finalists, tbh, I would prefer only places 10+ to be eligible for the Small Finale, no matter what. Opinions guys? Again, I think we shouldn't worry too much about this - the Small Finale really is just a generous bonus by SwC.

I'd say anyone on top 18 excluding those that made it to the Grand Finale ( 9 players for 1 table ). Just my 2 cent opinion on this because It just doesnt seems fair to include anyone that have chances on the Grand Finale on the Small Finale

Anyway , Im glad we are getting 4th series on our poker game . Once again thankyou for making all of this happen efialtis ! See you guys on the table, especially you Efi. Please make sure you can join us on the game 

[morvillz7z]

Lol I almost missed this thread! Maybe it's not a bad idea to ping everyone in the old one (series #3).

Anyway, i'm glad season 4 is happening, so thanks again @efialtis and @SwC for organizing and hosting these fun (and sometimes tilting games xD), much appreciated it and looking forward to it!!!

I'm 100% in, in fact, i already sent 3200 chips (id 51609890). 

BitcoinGirl.Club should get their account restored tomorrow, don't forget about them.

[figmentofmyass]

Lol I almost missed this thread! Maybe it's not a bad idea to ping everyone in the old one (series #3).

+1. i was browsing the SwC tournament lobby and just happened to notice 8 weeks of bitcointalk tourneys listed.

and here i thought i had a weekend off!

thanks for setting this up, @efi! it's gonna be a rocky few weeks ahead for me but i'll try to make it as usual. i need to load up my SwC account, but i'll be sending chips for the whole series your way soon.

i assume there's been no word on lifting the chat restrictions? i haven't had any time to play lately and grind up the required krill.

No, doesn't look like they will be lifting this anytime soon but, the pain in the *** I can be, I will hit them up once more about it!

So if the account is been created and fund pokers SwC
With bitcoin, if the person happened to win the game, so how is going to be credited via bank account, is the person going to be paid with bitcoin or paper money.
You tried to explain  to my understanding, but I need a little clarification about these because am really interested.

[Trofo]

@GeorgeJohn
All the money from potential winnings will be credited to your SwC account. Tournament rewards are credited automatically by SwC, while lottery and extra pot for the final are credited manually by efialtis.

You are paying all buy ins whit chips (1mBTC=1000chips) and receiving all the rewards in chips. When you deposit BTC on SwC it is automatically shown as chips. Hope it is clearer now.

[iv4n]

I sent 3200 chips for all tournaments, waiting for passwords, so I can register. There's no way I will miss any game this time, like I missed the first one in the last series!
This time everything was fast and smooth, I am happy for that! New players are always welcome, but I have a wish to play with "old" ones! We are getting better and better, today I was looking at Hall of Fame and in every grand finale we had 3 different players in top 3, now it's time for some name to be repeated! Good luck guys, I can't wait games to start!

[efialtis]

I haven't sent out the passwords out to everybody yet because it turns out, the password for this Sunday's game is not working... waiting to hear back from SwC...

[Trofo]

I haven't sent out the passwords out to everybody yet because it turns out, the password for this Sunday's game is not working... waiting to hear back from SwC...

I have a feeling you will not be able to get to them in time. No matter, password for second tournament is ok and even if we miss this one, we can always schedule it on the end of our series or scrap it altogether. No big difference for me if we have 7 or 8 tournaments in the series.

And as added bonus if we can't play this Sunday at least some of us will have time to spend Small BTC and Big BTC tickets

[arallmuus]

-snipped-

See you on the game this Sunday . Cmon join our little game exclusive to bitcointalk fellow 

waiting to hear back from SwC...

It might take some time to hear back from them

I haven't sent out the passwords out to everybody yet because it turns out, the password for this Sunday's game is not working...

No biggie on this one if you cant get it in time for the next game. a week free time before the game start would be nice

No big difference for me if we have 7 or 8 tournaments in the series.

Probably some small difference on the prizepool and lottery but it should be alright, SWC will probably make up for this incase we missed the this 1st qualifier 

[figmentofmyass]

I haven't sent out the passwords out to everybody yet because it turns out, the password for this Sunday's game is not working... waiting to hear back from SwC...

hmmm, it's already friday evening. i have a nagging feeling this weekend's game will get scrapped. maybe that's just as well---i'm not sure how many players we'll get on short notice.

we can just add a replacement qualifier in october, or do 7 qualifiers in total.

if it runs, i'll try to be there though. i just shipped over my 3200 chips to @efi.

[Globb0]

haha I need the password quick.

I keep losing the money chasing Krill.


 

[efialtis]

Good news - password problem was fixed! I have sent the passwords to all you regulars (well, I might have missed one), so plz let me know if I did!

[seek3r]

Ah finally, was thinking about this series the last day and saw that #4 was going to start.
I want to try to play the full series aswell, looks like their is a pool of regulars who arent missing any tourney.

Will send my chips later this day.

Great to see you joining us! You'll see this is lots of fun and the regulars you mention - yeah, I feel we will have a live game on anyone's yacht sooner or later, too!  


On a different note - tyKiwanuka won't participate in this series for good reasons and so I am kindly asking if anyone here would like to help me out by taking care of the spreadsheet? Would help a lot!

No one can replace tyKiwanuka!

[tyKiwanuka]

No one can replace tyKiwanuka!

Hehe, thanks, but it's not true

If someone could do it for me, it would be nice; I will also give short introduction, though it's no rocket science, since a lot of the work is done via formulas. I could do the sheet, but not kind of real-time and only if someone always provides me the screenshots/results. Season 4 is already set up in the sheet.

You could also make a new sheet of course, though I think it's nice to have the history of the series all in one sheet.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Good news - password problem was fixed! I have sent the passwords to all you regulars (well, I might have missed one), so plz let me know if I did!

You missed me I guess 🤪
Matter of fact that I am still not ready to join this series. I did not bother to contact SwC to change my email yet. Hopefully I will do that soon when I have time and once everything is fixed I will update here.

We have been missing you badly man!!! Sorry for everything you went through but I am super happy to see you are back!

[Globb0]

I have signed up for the first few tourneys I will send some more fees over later for a few more and get booked in before I spend it.  

*edit*

OK I sent the rest of the fees and signed up for the tournaments.


I think the last one is not working, its says "The Tournament Is Private" after you put in the password

*/edit*

[Steamtyme]

Awesome got my passwords and I should be there this weekend. My wife is going to be so happy guys   , but that's next weeks problem as I'm at work this weekend.

If people are okay with stats getting uploaded a few hours later somedays then I'm cool with updating the spreadsheet. I agree it's best to just keep with the same one @tyKiwanuka created. Hit me up here or in PM.

I thought of volunteering to help but you beat me to the punch. My problem is that I leave the table as soon as I lose my chips and often I have no idea how the tournament ended so better that somebody else do it

Glad all the things got resolved and see you all at the table guys.

[figmentofmyass]

i'm registered and should be there tomorrow, although i expect to be bleary-eyed.

just make a new account and load it up, dude! that's the beauty of SwC. there's no KYC and you're not married to any one account. (i guess the downside is you won't be able to immediately chat)

On a different note - tyKiwanuka won't participate in this series for good reasons and so I am kindly asking if anyone here would like to help me out by taking care of the spreadsheet? Would help a lot!

say it ain't so, ty! you know no one else has the same passion for stat crunching.

Probably some small difference on the prizepool and lottery but it should be alright, SWC will probably make up for this incase we missed the this 1st qualifier 

I will try to accsee the game this week,if it will be favourable to me then I continue the game,because everything is all about risk.

[efialtis]

I have signed up for the first few tourneys I will send some more fees over later for a few more and get booked in before I spend it.  

*edit*

OK I sent the rest of the fees and signed up for the tournaments.


I think the last one is not working, its says "The Tournament Is Private" after you put in the password

*/edit*

Thanks for the update - I will get in touch with SwC!

All ready for tonight's game? 

[seek3r]

Lets see how far I can get tonight.. already excited af!

Hey everyone I'm gonna handle the spreadsheet, I'll try and do it justice. And most certainly won't abuse my power... wait power... hmmmm.... why shouldn't I have the pointss's.... filthy table hobbits want my pointss's.... wait sorry.

Glad to see some returning faces, and new ones as well. Good luck everyone, oh and being the hyper observant sherlocky type, I just noticed SWC stepped up their sponsorship to .06 - Damn that's nice.

Globbo really wants to chat lol. Them tables can be rough.

Oh! You still need to upgrade your detective skills. 0.01 BTC is for Runner's Up tournament so prizes are same. 0.05 BTC for Championship and 0.01 for Losers.


Any guesses, who gonna end up in ITM today? YES! THAT'S ME. Any guesses why?

[Betwrong]

I just realized that I'm not ready to play THE BIG BTC! today, so

400 chips sent to "youcantwin", registration done!

See you at the tables, guys!

GL, and have fun in any case!

[Trofo]

Any guesses, who gonna end up in ITM today? YES! THAT'S ME. Any guesses why?

You loaned the chips from some poor sucker who did not read the posts when we talked about how you always end in the money when playing borrowed chips? I am not sure that was you but don't feel like checking

17 of us so far, I am expecting a couple more last second regs. Still whole 5 minutes to go

[figmentofmyass]

@Steamtyme

i screwed up that spade hand, the one where you flopped the nut straight. i flopped a flush and turned the nut straight flush. i obviously should have check-raised you on the turn---i suspect you would have bet into me. i was hoping you had something like As or had flopped a better flush and were looking to stack off.....

Damn. had me right from the get go... dirty limped pots  

I likely wouldn't have stacked off with that turn, I do sometimes bluff those 4 to a flush boards on the river but only if I have no showdown value. You could have gotten more chips out of me though... not many but checking turn would have given me a bit of confidence.. Hard to do when your creaming your pants with the nuttiest of nut hands. I likely would have checked back, 4 to a flush boards put the fear into me lol, and called down a smaller sized bet on the river.

Anything but a spade on the turn... (the 8 didn't help) and you would have had all my chips instead of @bitmutiny, boating up on the river.

At work and on phone so I will update the spreadsheet this evening when I'm home.
@efialitis - I will assume everyone who played today sent chips - can you let me know everyone who pre-paid their entry fees.

I'm in!

Are you str8flu5h?? Just for the spreadsheet

[figmentofmyass]

lol, @iv4n just had steam coming out of his ears! i wish i could respond in the chat.

this hand is worth recapping:



i raise AQs from the BTN pre. @iv4n check-calls with 77. 2-diamond flop, @iv4n checks. of course i bet my nut flush draw + overcards into him. same on turn. he check-calls a pot-sized bet on river diamond.

i wasn't raising with nothing, like you said. after the flop, i was the favorite to win! when you showed weakness, i wanted to steal the pot, knowing i still had many outs on the river. i am amazed you are calling down 3 streets with nothing but an under pair!

Foma I will remember this....
every next rise from you is my all in!

hehe, well just so you know, i would probably play JJ-AA or AT or trips the same way on flop and turn. but you can believe every bet i make is a bluff---i don't mind that.

lol, and look who's lucky now, calling my flop bet with only an inside straight draw and then sucking out to a better straight on the turn!

Damn. had me right from the get go... dirty limped pots 

I likely wouldn't have stacked off with that turn, I do sometimes bluff those 4 to a flush boards on the river but only if I have no showdown value. You could have gotten more chips out of me though... not many but checking turn would have given me a bit of confidence.. Hard to do when your creaming your pants with the nuttiest of nut hands.

yeah i quickly thought about what you might raise my flop bet with, hoped for a spade, and ran with it.

[seek3r]

That didnt went well for me lol.

Shortstack at my table from the beginning, almost card-dead the whole time and when I hit no pre-flop action
Played at the beginning 2-3 hands really bad because I already felt addicted to the pot which was stupid..

Nvm, lets see forward to next sunday! Hope I will see everyone again from my table, was a pleasure to play with. Will improve my game till then. GL all remaining players!

Oh wait, is it new that 500 krill points are required? I found a list on the SwC site where it says that only 1 krill is required to access the chat.

Yeah - they changed that in order to "fight" some chat abuse/trolling - unfortunately, they don't seem to have a better answer and we don't know if/when everything will get back to "normal".

[webtricks]

Long story short, Yahoo once again bettered me. That's I guess 3rd time on SwC and in total 4th time including SportsBet if I am keeping the tally right.
They say Poker is game of wits and that so happened. He completely outclassed me. That flush hit on Turn was damn unlucky for me. By the way @yahoo62278 suppose you didn't get another Hearts on turn, would you call my raise on turn? I guess it was pretty simple to deduce that I was playing on 'three of a kind Ace' or 'Pocket Aces'. What would have been your call in that situation?


So finally it was the end to my long standing belief that I always win if I borrow the entry fees. LoL!

it's new as of several weeks ago, and is hopefully only a temporary measure to deal with some chat abuse issues. they didn't bother updating the krill rewards page. you'll see the real 500 krill limit if you try to chat at the table and haven't earned enough.

Ok that makes sense to me. Hopefully they will change that soon, as Hhampuz already mentioned, I'm feeling like a misfit while everyone is chatting!

[arallmuus]

Probably they wont  . We spent like half of the qualifiers in the 3rd series with those silly 500 krills requirement to chat and it kinda feels lame when we cant really reply to those chats

Too bad we are not on the same table today Seek3r ! 


3rd break and probably will be the last break , last 5 people on the table. Efi surprisingly has a good run after weeks of not playing together with us and Kolloh finally has his first point ever since he joined these series ! 

[Globb0]

Sorry yahoo, I wanna chat but this stupid krill requirement is forcing me to be antisocial during the games.

It cost me about 0.03 to get 500 krill to talk in the tables.

Then I had nothing to say. 


Yes I went out very quickly again, pair vs two pair. Never mind. I'm struggling with tournaments hours and hours for a few K. I cant concentrate that long.


I have done OK in the cash tables though, might even get to withdraw some (all) of that investment. Lets see.


I have offered to help if I can, but I appreciate I'm not the poker expert some of you are.

[figmentofmyass]

i went out in 10th, not my day.

that was basically the nittiest game i have ever played in. i think there was only 1 person knocked out in the last ~hour of play before i went out. with blinds ridiculously high vs stacks it was all push/fold. i had the unfortunate luck of not having live cards in 2 preflop all-in situations, 97s vs A9o and A9o vs AJo.

gg. i sure hope it's a bit more interesting next time! push/fold for an hour straight is mind numbing. i wish i were knocked out earlier, lol.

Hopefully they will change that soon, as Hhampuz already mentioned, I'm feeling like a misfit while everyone is chatting!

you and me both. @iv4n was talking trash half the game and i couldn't say anything back.

it's my fault i guess. tbh i haven't played a raked/fee game on SwC in a good 2 months.

[iv4n]

this was a tough beat for @Iv4n:



i semi-bluffed the nut flush draw the whole way, and got there on the river. then i saw him lose most of his chips on a preflop misclick a few hands later. sorry dude, shitty day!

You call it semi-bluffing!

lol, @iv4n just had steam coming out of his ears! i wish i could respond in the chat.

this hand is worth recapping:

It's not like you calling with nothing, but you are semi-bluffing again? And it's not under pair, it was straight, I just couldn't believe it's happening again! If you remember the first time and this time, it's totally the same! Same rising, same calling, and both times I was stronger in the beginning. This time I thought you had some set and on the river I got straight, I thought I was stronger this time, but cards said no!

Foma I will remember this....
every next rise from you is my all in!

hehe, well just so you know, i would probably play JJ-AA or AT or trips the same way on flop and turn. but you can believe every bet i make is a bluff---i don't mind that.

hehe this was passion! If you check the first and second time I was stronger on the flop, if I played stronger maybe you would fold, but who knows... and of course I will not do that, but I need to do something about you, all in on your semi-bluffing sounds like a good solution!

@iv4n was talking trash half the game and i couldn't say anything back.

I had fun with myself! And it wasn't so trashy, or it was? I hope I didn't offend anyone?

[Betwrong]

It was a day of flushes, huh?

Here's my would be Ace high flush, if I didn't fold that hand pre-flop for some unknown f*cked up reason.



And I remember i4an raising post flop. What did you have, buddy? King-Jack of diamonds?  

Anyways, after throwing away my shot with that pre flop folding, I knew it was all over for me. ... I finished 8th, eventually, and that was a big luck, considering my defeatist mood.

Congrats on winning the tournament, @Hhampuz!

Thank you for rejoining our series, @yahoo62278! You were missed.

GG, everyone!

[efialtis]

That was a fun tournament yesterday and I just wanted to give you a "warning" - expect a lot from your nightmare efialtis this season!

Too bad I lost my focus in the end but 5th was "okay" to start with - congrats @Hhampuz!

@Iv4n I had company yesterday, my little brother was here and he loved you! So no, keep it up man!

[arallmuus]

Yes I went out very quickly again, pair vs two pair. Never mind. I'm struggling with tournaments hours and hours for a few K. I cant concentrate that long.

I was the one that knocked you out yesterday. I was going to raise it slowly but you went ahead and shove all in so with two pairs on my hand, I kinda feel that I got the stronger hands so I went with all in as well .

It was a day of flushes, huh?

My pocket Ace with 1 more Ace on board lose to Obaming's flush IIRC  . I almost feel that Im gonna win a big pot with that , Im glad that I didnt raise anything huge for that cards though.

Too bad I lost my focus in the end but 5th was "okay" to start with

It was 1 spot short from the ITM finish, It was quite a gamble for me to keep calling all your high raise for every turn though. It was a great game, it would be perfect if we can chat but this 500 krills kinda killing 50% of the fun 

[Steamtyme]

Damn. had me right from the get go... dirty limped pots 

I likely wouldn't have stacked off with that turn, I do sometimes bluff those 4 to a flush boards on the river but only if I have no showdown value. You could have gotten more chips out of me though... not many but checking turn would have given me a bit of confidence.. Hard to do when your creaming your pants with the nuttiest of nut hands.

yeah i quickly thought about what you might raise my flop bet with, hoped for a spade, and ran with it.

I'm the opposite of Iv4n, every bet you make either has me crushed or tells me there's something I'm not seeing  In those spots I just leave it to the poker gods to save me and punish you for playing good cards  I defintitely expected you to have an A high flush or something on the turn. I really just got lucky there that a spade came on the turn, I usually can't decide until river if I believe someone flopped a flush - limped pot makes that harder to believe.

i went out in 10th, not my day.
that was basically the nittiest game i have ever played in.

Crazy that sort of sounds like Championship gameplay lol. I don't know if it's people overadjusting to make sure they can hit points or what, but even the first hour there seemed to be some very tight gameplay going on. People who generally 3-bet or splash around weren't making plays I've come to expect from them, hard to get value. It seemed the only big pots happening were when there were big made hands and decent draws, unfortunately that's what took me out.


Congrats to the winners, welcome new participants and good to see Yahoo back in the mix. I know most want the chat back , but me and Iv4n are having a great time chatting like a couple loonies whether there's anyone else there who can or not 
I updated the spreadsheet last night, and think it's correct but as I just got up I'll double check at work tonight. Let me know if there are any issues, the paid fees where already updated so I didn't touch them except to move them with their associated player.

I can see you all ahead. The race is off!

At least Im still ahead of people who didn't play yet.  lol

I was all pokered out from 3 days of multi tabling for kirll. Half tempted to push on for the prizes, its not that hard, just a grind.

Still I don't think the mrs would appreciate me day and night pokering and that's about whats needed.

You are welcome to join! All you need to know you can read in the OP, namely in the "Entry Fees & Passwords" section. Also, maybe take a look at "The Lottery" section. Fun fact: there is a possibility of joining just one game, taking the last place in it, and still winning several-fold of your "investment" during the draw.

Hey guys,

have been on holiday for almost 5 weeks, so sorry that I missed the recent tournaments.
Next Sunday I´m in, can´t wait to kick ur a**** 

[figmentofmyass]

this was a tough beat for @Iv4n:

i semi-bluffed the nut flush draw the whole way, and got there on the river. then i saw him lose most of his chips on a preflop misclick a few hands later. sorry dude, shitty day!

You call it semi-bluffing!

yes! semi-bluffing is an important strategy to have in the toolbox IMO. don't dismiss it so easily. https://www.cardschat.com/semi-bluff.php

So what exactly is a poker semi-bluff?

Well the simple definition is whenever you bet with a hand that has good potential to become the best hand by the river, you are semi-bluffing. You are bluffing because you currently have no hand when you bet. However, you have good “outs” to end up with the best hand by the time the last card is dealt.

And that’s why this tactic is called a semi-bluff, not a pure bluff. You are betting with “something”, not simply with air.

Why is a semi-bluff a good poker betting strategy?

The profit you earn from playing semi-bluffing poker comes from having two ways in which you can win the pot. If your opponent folds to your bluff bet, then your bluff will work and you get paid off. While if you actually make your draw you win by having the best hand.

This makes it hard to counter semi-bluff poker plays because it is difficult to determine when your opponent actually has a hand, when he is pure bluffing and when he is chasing a monster draw. If a player varies his play correctly, he can keep his opponents guessing.

Of all the species of poker animal out there, the tight aggressive players will find semi-bluff poker betting strategies more profitable because fewer players in general will call their bluffs. Their table image has been cultivated to show a player who aggressively plays a few good hands. Thus opponents will often fold to their semi-bluff bets.

i try to mix it up a bit, but most players here would probably call me tight aggressive (TAG) which is why semi-bluffing can work in my favor. my TAG image increases my fold equity---the increased chances i will win the pot because my opponent will fold outright.

not only that, but i have lots of outs. in the AcJc hand, i had the nut flush draw + 2 backdoor inside straight draws + overcard on the flop. on the turn, i gained the inside straight draw. lots of outs, and also a decent chance you will fold because of the odds i already have a made hand. on the AdQd hand, i made the same fold equity considerations. on the flop and turn, i had the nut flush draw + 2 overcards. on the flop, i was the favorite to win both hands (almost 2/3 of the time in both cases) and on the turn, i had given myself the pot odds to keep betting my equity.

It's not like you calling with nothing, but you are semi-bluffing again? And it's not under pair, it was straight, I just couldn't believe it's happening again! If you remember the first time and this time, it's totally the same! Same rising, same calling, and both times I was stronger in the beginning. This time I thought you had some set and on the river I got straight, I thought I was stronger this time, but cards said no!

i was lucky you rivered the straight.

I need to do something about you, all in on your semi-bluffing sounds like a good solution!

jamming in someone's face when you have a made hand is a good way to deal with this type of aggression. but keep this in mind: my intention is to play a made hand (set, overpair, etc) the same way i play a semi-bluff. that way, you can't tell if i have a hand or not, and if you do call my bets then i have good outs to a better hand.

@iv4n was talking trash half the game and i couldn't say anything back.

I had fun with myself! And it wasn't so trashy, or it was? I hope I didn't offend anyone?

no offense take. i don't mind a little trash talk anyway. i only wish i could talk back lol.

i'm in the middle of moving right now, very little time to play poker outside of our weekly game. one of these days i'll get the 500 krill. and then they will lower the chat requirement.

Hey guys,

have been on holiday for almost 5 weeks, so sorry that I missed the recent tournaments.
Next Sunday I´m in, can´t wait to kick ur a**** 

glad to see you back dude!

[iv4n]

Snip

Thank you for explaining what is semi-bluff, but I think you miss the point here! You didn't have anything after flop and turn, you had outs that's true, but on your first 200 chips bet on flop would you pay all in to see that flush?! Would you chase your outs in tournament without re-buys in the middle of the game? Now it's late to talk about what we would do, but if I reraised you on flop and make a big raise on turn would you pay that river?
And don't get me wrong, what bothers me how similar both hands are and how you got flush on the river in both hands! I'm looking forward to all our next hands, I will watch you more closely definitely!

Hey guys,

on the flop, i was the favorite to win. i may not have had a made hand, but it's a little odd to say i didn't have anything when i was the most likely to win at showdown.

would i pay if you check-raised all-in? it depends on the situation---pot odds, whether i feel pot committed, whether i feel like gambling when i'm a 60/40 favorite etc. there are many situations where it would be acceptable to call, especially if i've made significant bets already.

Would you chase your outs in tournament without re-buys in the middle of the game?

i was not chasing draws. that usually implies passively calling down with bad odds. i rarely do that outside of multi-way pots that pay me off huge if i hit.

i was the preflop aggressor betting in position to a passive checker---big difference IMO.

on that AQ vs 77 hand, i'm sure if you hit one of your 6 non-diamond outs to a straight on the river, you wouldn't be complaining. i'm sure that open-ended straight draw factored into your decision to call the turn, right? and so you must understand the equity of draws even if it feels shitty when your opponents hit them. that's just poker.

Now it's late to talk about what we would do, but if I reraised you on flop and make a big raise on turn would you pay that river?

again, it depends on the pot odds, but quite possibly. i would maybe just 4-bet shove all-in on the flop, especially in a MTT where i'm looking to build a stack as early as possible or get knocked out.

if you check-raised me on the flop and again on the turn, then yes i would call. without knowing the exact stacks/pot, i assume i'd be pot committed by that point.

And don't get me wrong, what bothers me how similar both hands are and how you got flush on the river in both hands!

the chances to make a flush by the river when on a flopped flush draw = 35%. (and that's not taking into consideration straight draws or draws to a higher pair)

it's a very frequent occurrence, so it should be no surprise that it happened twice. this is why flush draw + open-ended straight draws are extremely valuable semi-bluffing hands because you will improve to a straight or flush by the river the majority of the time. by default, that makes it stronger than any pocket pair on an unpaired flop board.

what you're also not considering is all the times i did not hit my outs by the river, including those times where we did not show down and you did not see my hand. you're thinking "this guy is so lucky every time" (who do you think i am, @Hhampuz? ) because you have selective memory for these 2 hands. in truth i am running quite bad in this series.....

Everyone ready for Sunday's game? I am pretty sure I'll own you guys this time... Last week you got a foretaste of what's awaiting you in series #4...

I can't think of anyone who would jam their stack in with a flush draw on the flop   . FOMA is way tighter than i am, he labelled me quite early on and was spot on LAG he's very TAG. If the odds are there he's calling, albeit there are probably some tight folds for better spots... oh my he's speaking through me. When it comes to stacks on the flop it gets more interesting with his style of play, it's how I get my best suckouts. I can't say for sure but I bet he would have folded to a jam on the turn, but I'd have to look at what the stacks and pot size were again. After reviewing the image, I'd say he would have laid it down, with you outstacking him, bu ti can't see what was in the pot on the turn.

In his spot I actually feel cheated if I don't hit my flush lol.

Although I would have probably apologized and said i feel gross. (Very Canadian of me)   Only in this series though, hate busting my internet friends.

Might be... think I might be on the road with the family. Wife still doesn't know the series fired up again, so I may have to sit it out or casually look at my phone a bunch in secret without letting her see. That always ends well right?

Probably the tightest among all participants in this series. If he calls / check raised then there is almost 95% this dude has a good card on his hands.

Too bad for you but family comes first obviously  . Try to pull a 'sygambler' and see if you might end up in top ten without playing  . Well still you might still be able to catch up with the points with the other 6 qualifer to go. Drive safely !

Everyone ready for Sunday's game? I am pretty sure I'll own you guys this time... Last week you got a foretaste of what's awaiting you in series #4... 

Im ready again, Im so fired up last week. I knocked out alot and probably was my best KO count throughout the whole series ever since I play on this. I might pull another one this weekend

Of course, ready and already registered. Just that 500 krill for chat is killing my mojo. I got around 400 krills so a little more grind and I should be there, not yet this weekend but maybe next one.

Then SwC will come out and say now the limit is 5000 krill and I will rage quit the page and our series

Hell yeah, will send you the chips in a few hours.
I got addicted to this series I guess. Was fun last week but was almost card dead the whole time, playing stupid spots so I lost most of my chips extremely fast. Wasn't deep at any time but for this sunday I will clean up the field from behind  Be prepared!

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

I see you guys already had a tourney without me 😂
I am in the process of changing email of my SwC account and hopefully this will end soon. Once I am done with them I will join the tournament.

We all feel cheated when we raise/call to see that flush, especially after flop where you got 2 suited cards and you need just one more! But twice!? Well he got me two times in almost the same way, and he won both hands thanks to that river card, I will not forget that anytime soon! Maybe I even had some nightmares about that, but I won't admit anything!

My wife get used to my Sunday poker nights, she doesn't even ask me anything, she just gives me free space! I try to return the favor as always!

As I said this Sunday is my night shift, so I will play from the phone. How free I will be I can't tell, like always that will depend on Sunday evening, I can be free to play, but if I have some serious problems I will not be able to put all my attention on the game. I will try to give my best in any case, and we will see how well will that go!

Mine is still bitching about it but on a low level. You know just so she lets you know that it isn't the way grown men with family should spend their Sunday afternoons

I have to make my own snacks, meh. So I usually end up with some chips and 6-pack of beers. One of these days I'll have to make an effort and go for some finger food + cocktails.

Play together with her, mate. Talking from my own experience: first watch some high stakes poker on YouTube(together), explain to her rules and strategies, which is lots of fun already , then invite her to watch how you play, and listen to her advices, from time to time, OR explain why you act differently. ... Winning and losing together, isn't that what married life is about?

Bust was a typical suckout on the river. GL to the remaining players!

[Steamtyme]

Hope everyone had fun. Yeah me and the family took a cruise up to a national park nearby for one last summerish day before the kids start back to school. Absolutely crushed them at mini putt  
 I think I'm clear for the next 2 weeks so I'll see everyone then.

Not sure if I'll be able to check the tournament lobby for the participant list if someone doesn't mind PMing or posting the list of finishes today I'll update the spreadsheet this evening.

Wait is that displaying in BB?? I've been waiting for this feature to show up. I started using it on ACR and now I get annoyed when I can't toggle between the 2.

[morvillz7z]

GG everybody and congrats Obaming!

We had some regulars missing today but it was still quite fun. I should be grateful making the top3 (haven't been in the money finishes in a while) since i got an awful start and it was downhill for the most part. My stack was as low as 2.2k at one point and i only got 3k entering the final table. But after a few successful shoves, i was back in the game and managed to grab some chips and 8 valuable points. The hand that got me in trouble early was King-high flush vs Iv4n's Ace-high flush, after raise and re-raise i knew i was dealing with a flush, i was just hoping it was not an Ace. Nice hand @Iv4n 

Not sure if I'll be able to check the tournament lobby for the participant list if someone doesn't mind PMing or posting the list of finishes today I'll update the spreadsheet this evening.

Was already wondering if I'm the only one who is using this feature. On previous screens in this thread there were only screens with the exact ship amounts.

But you can only use full blinds, you cant open-raise for 2.2 BB for example. You have to decide if you want to raise 2 or 3 blinds.

Looking so tight

I was above 400th for a while and 700th (for ages) of 10,000 last night in a 2 day 150k$ poker thing.  

I lasted a good few hours and 5x'ed no rebuys. I was even starting to think what if?

you can't use multiple accounts in the same cash game or tournament (obviously!) and you can't use multiple accounts to evade a chat ban. otherwise, you're fine. they have no specific policy against making a 2nd account and using it instead of your original one.

That should be PokerStars. And it looks like he was playing a WCOOP event, gl gl. Hope that your deeprun ended not too fast and cashed atleast.

[Globb0]

Yes poker stars these games are WCOOP games, there is a range from 5-1000$ entry fees.

This one was 11$ and I satellited into that for 0.55$

Ive been sitting here staring at the wall for a few months since I was redundant.

Might as well learn a new skill. Only thing is its cash not bitcoin, but prizes are $K too so.

I have been top few hundred of several thousand in 2 out of 3 tournaments and I played and for about 3-4 hours.

There is an inevitable moment you go head to head and lose. As the blinds get very big you are forced in more.

Im just playing as if it was our game. If I make a day 2 I will be in the money. about $50 I think was the prize down about 1500 place up from there.

Congrats Obaming/@Improved on the win!

Still, you can't beat yourself up too much! You knew that you had a good chance and you took it the fact that other players also had a similar better hand and some even better meant that you went with your guts, not always advisable when gambling but so long as you had fun. You can get them next time!

Also, in the next series you can take a step back and re-think your moves, all these experiences amount to making us better players and make better decisions. There are still quite a few more rounds to go, so plenty of time to get back at the game with a winning blow - something you don't know until you try.

Good for you though as you should have realized by now that series #4 is gonna be mine! 

Well, the main reason I am sharing this with you is for everybody to know that I will not be able to send passwords etc. on Sunday - we/you have always found a turnaround and I am confident it will work just fine.

Meh , its still too early to decide and Im still on top of the leaderboard by 1 point  . Atleast for now Im still standing on top of fish food chain 

Well, the main reason I am sharing this with you is for everybody to know that I will not be able to send passwords etc. on Sunday - we/you have always found a turnaround and I am confident it will work just fine.

I am also probably out from this week tournament. Unfortunately my reasons are much less entertaining. The time has finally come for me to fix the bad knee so going to the hospital early Monday morning  Have to finish a bunch of stuff on Sunday and be a good husband and father. After all, I will probably depend on good will from my wife and daughter to bring me snacks and drinks while I rest my leg in the days to come

Actually I just got the call from hospital if I can come for procedure tomorrow and I took it. If all goes according to the plan I should be just 2 days in hospital. So I should be home Sunday and maybe I even manage to make it for the tournament. I don't know how screwed my leg will be afterwards and if I will be in the mood for anything. I asked a couple of friends with similar procedures and got very opposite stories ranging from I was driving next morning for physical therapy to I could not get out of the bed for 2 weeks.

You might as well take a break - you didn't do too well in recent tournaments anyways, did you? Fish... efialtis Shark Attack (LOL, reminds me of my first ever gambling (poker) site I create around 15 years ago named Shark-Attack)

[efialtis]

I have signed up for the first few tourneys I will send some more fees over later for a few more and get booked in before I spend it.  

*edit*

OK I sent the rest of the fees and signed up for the tournaments.


I think the last one is not working, its says "The Tournament Is Private" after you put in the password

*/edit*

SwC have now fixed the password for the last tournament! Communication improved a bit recently, which is cool.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

oh right, that damn chat requirement.

fair enough!

I think I am gonna miss this weekend too. Too bad. I still have not worked out with getting the account back and in addition I have some work on Sunday evening too. #4 Bitcointalk Poker Series is still a thing for me to start.

[seek3r]

Wow looks like a small field this weekend? 
I'm smelling guaranteed points for the leaderboard!

efialtis, are you still available tonight? Can not send the chips earlier right now. Or shall I ask someone else for the password?

Hey efi,

just sent the 400 Chips to you, kindly asking for the Password

[Trofo]

Thank you all for nice wishes, I am happy to report  the procedure is over and I think the results should be fine   

Will probably join the tournament so i can say that invalid kicked your asses. That goes double for efialtis. I just hope we will meet on the first table at least once. And if I lose early I already have an excuse, win-win.

Im glad everything sorted out perfectly for you. Will be waiting for you on the same table, I wish I could see Trofo bloodbath mode anytime soon, You knocked out alot of people in 2nd series iirc and that was great 

Hey efi,

just sent the 400 Chips to you, kindly asking for the Password

Im not sure if Efi has sent you the password yet but if he doesnt feel free to PM me as well though

Wow looks like a small field this weekend?

The smaller the number of participant, the tighter the game will be. Most will be waiting for those premium hands and one of us could be knocked out of the 10th spot early on . I kinda prefer having full two tables though, it kinda makes the game less tight at some point

[famososMuertos]

FlashBack Q2 ; #4 Bitcointalk Poker Series
That tournament number three is coming, Poker weekend, but first a visit to the Final Table  of last Sunday and the last gasp that left them in their respective places.

I think the idea would be to include the 10 who take points, but this is what I was able to record, there is no other reason not to include.

The 6th place, he almost managed to hit the AA villain;) because the villain entered as an entertained limper looking for action, perhaps the bigstack was playing aggressive and expected a RR, maybe he was playing tight and he knew that if he raised with his AA Preflop were not going to see the precious Allin of some adversary ... the action came, but on the flop the SB came out donkeando, but he only paid a ticket for a fold ...



The 5th place:



The 4th place:



The 3rd place:



1st/HUH/2nd:



Source: https://play.swcpoker.eu
Date:Q#2: 09/06/2020

Q#3: https://play.swcpoker.eu/?tournamentId=58532595

I will try alternate ways to access this tournament:
In the web version I found this:
Buy-in: 100 chip, satellites can be a way to get 1000: https://play.swcpoker.eu/?tournamentId=60415337. Remember,  what should you add "400 chips" additional via transfer for the tournament key.

There are also satellites of buy-in 50+ 0, minimum 5 players, next level, buyin 240 + 10 with two tickets of 1000 GTD.
____

Desktop version: there are currently 6 satellites available in the lobby of the "Bitcointalk Private Poker Series" tournament.

This appears in the desktop version. I did not see it in the web version.

The recommendation for those who like to suffer    No seriously! for my friends of the low limits, but who mainly like to have fun! and handle in Poker by the rules of Strict Banking for MTT, here is this thorny path:

You start with 25 chips.
- 4 max Flip 100 satellite ticket: Buy in 25 + 0
Then with that ticket won go to:
- Saturday Hyper Satelite 2 Seats GTD / 1K Ticket + `1k Ticket
You can also pay your Buy-in: 95 + 5
- BitcoinTalk Private Poker Series : Buy-in:1000+0

There is a mistake in position 4, but it is a nice hand 
I promise to fix it, my apologies.

[Globb0]

That's well cool thanks for making those.

And to appear in it as well is a win for me.

Im looking forward to the game.

Im not really sure how to approach heads to heads.

Im often 2 or 3 x the other person and I think should win.

If you be tight, you gradually bleed down, if they are all in inning all the time you risk it and cut the stack in half?

s3ems I haven't found the spot yet where I need to be.

I know its luck cos its just 4 drawn cards usually.


*edit* yes the 1k tickets do work to register for this series. I have used one once for it.

[Betwrong]

Still, you can't beat yourself up too much! You knew that you had a good chance and you took it the fact that other players also had a similar better hand and some even better meant that you went with your guts, not always advisable when gambling but so long as you had fun. You can get them next time!

Yeah, I'm planning to!

Also, in the next series you can take a step back and re-think your moves, all these experiences amount to making us better players and make better decisions. There are still quite a few more rounds to go, so plenty of time to get back at the game with a winning blow - something you don't know until you try.

Absolutely! You can join us, btw, and try it yourself. Only 2 games(out of 8 ) played in the current series. Seriously, it's not too late to join.

Thank you all for nice wishes, I am happy to report  the procedure is over and I think the results should be fine

Get well soon, mate! After reading your earlier posts, I'm so happy to see that the procedure is over! It was surely longer for you, but for me it took like 10 minutes to go from worrying about your going to the hospital, Monday, and rejoicing that it was all over on Friday, 3 days earlier!

See you at the tables! And, no, no mercy for invalids in poker! Invalid or not, you are still a villain that must be defeated! 


400 chips sent "youcantwin". Registration done.

GL, all!

*edit* yes the 1k tickets do work to register for this series. I have used one once for it.

I had 1k ticket and I used it for this tournament, so it's working for sure! Wish you luck Globb0, I am glad to see how you are becoming a real poker pro! And you have a nice topic, wish you luck with all those tournaments!

As Betwrong said there will be no mercy for Trofo this time!

@Trofo glad to see you are alright now, and that everything was quickly solved! I don't like hospitals at all (who does?)!

Registered for the game, just 7 of us for now, I hope there will be more until tomorrow! Good luck guys and see you at the tables!

[efialtis]

You guys better join tonight's game - quite an opportunity with your nightmare sitting this one out...

400 sent. Good luck guys.

No point playing if you aren't around so I will miss this one as well 

Don't feel like I am able to sit even one hour, let alone more so my perfect attendance record stops here. Have fun guys and I will be back next week.

Consider this extra 400 chips as donation, no need to send them back

You could try the Steamy strategy, just sit out and take the points!
Jokes on a side, I hope you will get better soon man! I believe the game will not be the same without Efi and you!

[arallmuus]

Out on 13th, I was playing so bad tonight. With only 14 people, it should be 'easy' to secure atleast 1 point. SteamTyme best me out on that play, I wasnt really expecting pocket ace . I think of few possibilites of his potential hands but pocket ace never came into my thought, Oh well I guess this is it for me this week

I was getting alot of AK, AQ, AJ and such but none actually make it into atleast one pair  , unlucky day for me

Goodluck to everyone !  

[webtricks]

Damn! It was a nice tourney. Still two left, I am rooting for Obaming, he is having a good run after coming to the final table but Steamtyme is one of the finest regular and got upper edge to win this one.

I had a long spell of lead but played couple of bad hands and lost big stack. That 44 vs Pitkin's A8 was mistake. I should have folded on flop. Nevertheless, 4th position is fine too but missed ITM spot by 1 position. But someone has to be 4th, be it me this time.

Congrats and welcome. Glad you made it in. I wasn't around early and had to register on the highway lol. Had a fishtank emergency and had to drive 2 hours to get my daughter a heater for her little Beta fish.

Glad I made it back though. As Iv4n might say score one for the bad guy today. I took it down today but no one made it easy.

Goodluck to everyone !  

I had to play the player in this hand. I can't remember all the details but I think you limped in and I was one of the blinds. I was hoping you had a strong hand as I've been caught by you limping those a few times. Decided to keep with the slow play a bit and got lucky you hit top pair on the board.

I had some great hands today that actually got paid. I hit Quad Q's against 1ron1c I believe, the board was so wet I couldn't risk them just checking back on the river so I bet out half pot and they thought about it and folded. I'm assuming it was something like AK, but there were flush draws and straight draws that also hit, and the paired board.

Then there was my Iv4n suckout, negating his straight on the river. I almost folded to your 1500 chip bet on the turn; if I only had the flush draw I was going to fold, but with the straight draw added in I couldn't pass it up. Like any true villain I willed my 3 outer 9 and took it down.

Solid final table today. I rolled into heads-up with a massive chip deficit, 20K VS. 40K ish, managed to get to even stacks then it was a battle with each of us gaining and losing fairly equally. Final hand wound up being my AQd against their A9s, I can't remember if they opened and I 3-bet or if they limped and I raised, either way I believe they jammed and I called.

I'll update the spreadsheet this evening. Great game again today everybody.

[morvillz7z]

GG everyone and congrats Steamtyme!

Only 14 players today, for a second straight week, some regulars missing again, i hope that downtrend in attendance will not last for long.
It's always nice to have at least two full tables to start the game.

I had almost the exact same experience as last week, short-stacked after going against some unfavorable river cards (plunging under 3k), then start shoving my way into the final table and finish 3rd, that's back to back ITM for me and 21pts (leading atm). Yo, what the hell, that can't be? haha

Anyway, gg again and cya all next weekend!

[Betwrong]

~ but as Globb0 said it will be a tight game! ~

It was a tight game! You and Globb0 predicted it right.

After losing my chance to triple up by folding A5s, preflop



I quickly went down to 5 BBs, and lost all of it, going all-in with K9s(which could be expected with 7 players at the table).

Not the best play from my side, but overall a tight and thus thrilling game, which I enjoyed very much.

Congrats, Steamtyme on the win!

Congrats, Obaming and Pitckins for finishing ITM!



GG, everyone! Let's play even tighter next Sunday!

I remember that hand! Wow you had for of a kind Q´s??? Lucky me, I played AK, the flop was K, Q and a low number which i don´t really remember.
So you have been in front on the flop already, when the 2nd Q wouldnt come on the board I probably would have lost everything 

Anyway, I just play bullshit last tournaments - dunno what is wrong with me :-/

[seek3r]

Anyway, I just play bullshit last tournaments - dunno what is wrong with me :-/

That reflect the playstyle I played yesterday.
One fish move followed the other, was tired and jammed pocket 8s on the flop with an open-enden straight draw for 40BB. That move was punished immediately by QQ.

My goal should be to get atleast in the ranks which are paying points. Will not punt myself out next sunday like yesterday.
..Prepare for the nitty seek3r!

Alot of us actually feel awful about ourselves especially after that lame play yesterday. Whats worse is that with only 14 registered, it should be 'guaranteed' points if you actually play a tighter game compared with the others but yeah shit happens

I feel awful about myself yesterday and tried to go for the little BTC tournament on swc as a redemption, satellited myself with 100 buy in. I was doing decent on the satellite and on the early stage of the tournament but then shitty gameplay from me made me out again. I really need to hold myself from clicking that all in button if Im not 100% sure I might win the hands 

[efialtis]

Looks like some of you aren't happy missing your chance with the best player sitting this one out... you know who I am talking about...


@kolloh LOL... you rock the SwC tournaments on a regular base! Congrats! I have to repeat, looks like our level isn't too bad after all!

Yeah it's nice seeing 4 of a kind but it did make I couldn't really think of a way to get paid anymore on the river. Though that board was so connected It was nice knowing I had the nuts.
I would say you are playing fine, you folded out top top instead of calling down and losing your stack. Not much you can do before that to get away.

I have updated the spreadsheet for finishes. Still a tight race.

[figmentofmyass]

congrats on taking it down yesterday, @Steamtyme.

fingers crossed, i'll have internet again after today so i should be back next weekend. i'm going out of town on work next week but i think i'll still be around sunday, tentatively anyway. this is turning out to be one hell of a month......

[famososMuertos]

Congratulations to the 14 players on Sunday, especially those who did ITM, and those who did ITP.

Shit, I sent the wrong password? Sorry - was on the go... glad you guys worked it out!

@iv4n LOL, you are the man - great setup!

Everything ok!

But if it is good to say and the recommendation is; make your "send" early.

In my defense I must say that I was with the issue of the satellites or the placebo effect of getting that ticket, so that by individual conditions of fun, to be able to say, I got the buy-in. man! I still enjoy being able to enter this way, and it also serves as a warm-up for those of us who are not on the daily rails of poker.

This week I'm going to the Gym but the "pokerGym" ... I put a few hours this week in SWC, writing you this I swear I hear the song "eye of the tiger" in my head

In fact, the entry to MTT Q# 3 was at 1200.
The route was not the satellites, they were desolate, only another user accompanied me on the waiting route ... but the minimum number of players never arrived.

So I noticed there are some Tiny turbo tournaments [500 GTD] buy-in.48 + 2
And voila! hit the first one, I actually, I left all my abilities and desires in this tournament, you see the thing about not being in shape (lack of poker gym) ...

By the way! I hope those involved in the thread allow me, this preview ... because in reality I think that everything is mainly about having fun and being distracted for a while, in a game that when you pick up the pace and understand it, you want to promote it, you want everyone to play ... by the way, this speech is not for those involved in this thread, it is for those of "micro bets/limits or they are handled in the correct sense of bankroll... so understand that SWC offers alternative ways for you to participate.

__
As for the game that concerns us "Bitcointalk Private poker Series" ...

I will highlight the work of 1r0n1c I steal the button every time from the cutoff ... I did not want to defend it with "air", when I do I assure you that it will not be with defensive intentions, at least in this tournament ... another type of tournament my minimum rank is 72s

In that sense, the other relevant thing were two defenses of my BB against iv4n, perfectly! I remember was two, he let me know through the chat; because by letting me know it, he made me remember that he is the champion of one of the series /

The other thing to note was a FH that I completed on the turn with my pair of TT which I let pass to get a mini raise, on the river. and finally my A7 against the winner of the tournament.

The Gifs summary, I bring it on Friday, for  "FlashBack", prelude to Sunday Q#4

Guys! Thanks to everyone for  support!

Congrats and welcome. Glad you made it in. I wasn't around early and had to register on the highway lol. Had a fishtank emergency and had to drive 2 hours to get my daughter a heater for her little Beta fish.

I'll update the spreadsheet this evening. Great game again today everybody.

Thanks for your good vibes not only here but in the tournament, a GG is always well received... in a late "chat" effect : GG

The chat is off for me in SWC. <500

[bitmutiny]

I know you gents miss me

Doubt I will play very much in this series. Super busy time of year for me and there have been a bunch of hurricane waves out there every weekend that need surfing Its pretty much the ONE thing that will keep me from Sunday poker.

Good luck to all!

Ah, you have been already missed. Was already wondering..

So you are surfing? Thats an excuse I can accept. May I ask you where you live that you got those big waves?

I have updated the spreadsheet for finishes. Still a tight race.

It's a tight race indeed. Anyone, absolutely anyone, even someone who missed all the first 3 games, can make it to the finals still, because we have 5 games to come. On the other hand, the place in the top 9 isn't guaranteed even for Pitkins(21 points), because, for example, you needed 25 points, at least, in the #3 Bitcointalk Poker Series for that.

So, I encourage new people, who love to play poker, join us in this Series, because it's definitely not too late yet.

Well I count that one of the seats for the final table is mine! Others can fight for the remaining 8!
I have troubles to get in the money in this series, but this Sunday I plan to change that! More than for money I will play for 10 points! I have my eyes on some players (don't wish to name anyone), and their little games will not pass this time!

I will follow the good example set by others! For the first new player 1000 chips for buy-in with 400 chips fee for Grand Finale and Lottery from me! Rules are the same, must be bitcointalk member and new player in our series!

Ivan... you know you cant win - I have started playing more seriously until I secure 5th place and then I throw... lol

Very nice move, thanks for that - so if anyone would like to join the series, ivan will generously be paying for it - give it a try, you will still have a shot and in series #3, someone who only played one (I think it was one...) tournament even won the lottery.

I can assure you that you are not alone with those aspirations.  

So, we can expect a tough(meaning entertaining) game this Sunday. You can't imagine how eager I am to punish those aggressive players with some good bluff-catcher. But we'll see what happens. Sometimes you call a seemingly obvious bluff from a regular raiser, and ... Whoops!, you lose. "That's Poker Baby!", as they say.

Once again these little movie clips are awesome.

Thanks so much for taking the time to make them.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow.

Silence... I will be playing tonight, I guess that's the reason? 


There is one free buy-in for today's game sponsored by iv4n guys!

[Trofo]

Silence... I will be playing tonight, I guess that's the reason?  

I am back as well, not only that I registered for all the tournaments until the end of our series.

While grinding up krill this morning I had a very profitable/lucky hand. I had KK from begging and raised, other guy raised my stake and I went all in 5000 chips, he followed and he has, guess what - KK. Long story short there was 4 diamonds on the table and I had the right king in the end So I used the profits from there to secure buy in till the end of series.

Good luck today, you are going to need it

Lucky you! Yesterday, I was watching this video, in preparation to our today's tournament, and there were a similar situation



only it resulted in a split, as was pretty much expected. And you got 4 diamonds for your King! Congrats!


400 chips sent "youcantwin". Registration done.

I had 66 and I call 400 chips pre-flop rise, guy after me called too! So flop was 4 6 7! Again 600 chips rise from the first guy, I call, guy next to me call as well! Turn was 2! So guy check I check, guy after me check too! And boom king on river, first guy rise 1200, I fold after thinking some time, guy next to me goes all in. First guy was thinking for a while, and he called that reraise!
So first guy had KK, but what's interesting guy next to me had 85! He paid 400 chips pre-flop raise, and he got that straight right on the flop! I turned off poker and started playing dices!

Guys good luck tonight! I believe you will need it! See you at the tables!

Might get a problem since I ran almost out of my chips on SwC and the TX will not arrive in time.
Still hoping that it will arrive soon and I am able to play.

Otherwise it would be great if someone could lend me the 500 chips. Will sent back as soon as possible. But I am still thinking that my deposit will be in time. 

[1r0n1c]

Edit: Nice setup going looks god.

Good luck all.

congrats on taking it down yesterday, @Steamtyme.
fingers crossed, i'll have internet again after today so i should be back next weekend. i'm going out of town on work next week but i think i'll still be around sunday, tentatively anyway. this is turning out to be one hell of a month......

Thanks hope the move went well, and you can start enjoying your new pad.

[Trofo]

@Iv4n
Still can't talk in the chat, now on 450 krill so hopefully next time I will be able to. Please do spam chat a little, it is much more interesting that way. Even if I can't reply. The phrase you are looking for for efi is something like "Fight fire with fire"

i'm getting unpacked and enjoying the new place but......when it rains it pours. i got up to register for today's game and noticed my cat is really sick. her breathing is labored. i'm at the vet with her right now. fingers crossed it's just a passing thing. we have had a whole lot of wildfire smoke in the air. that may have to do with it.

missing a 3rd week in a row of our series.

hopefully i can recover in the standings!

[seek3r]

Damn.. I am having so much fun with efialtis and iv4n at the table! even though my aces got cracked against AK some hands before.
This Krill thing is absolute annoying!

Was down to 3 BB and managed to get back to 30 BB in a few hands.

[Globb0]

Thanks for everyone who joined the stream.

Im working out a few techy things but on the whole it was fun so lets see how we go next week.

So it's like "fight fire with fire" for better understanding! I had to search for the word "Wedge", never used it before!
Efi did a great job tonight, he won 2 points! Next time he will rock the poker table, so be careful!

Missed it this time! I was busy talking with Efi and myself first two hours! Next time I will join you and I believe it will be more fun than in tournament chat!

Had some poker's, had some great hands... but in the end too many beers or/and bad cards blurred my mind and I got busted right before ITM, again!

Great hands and nicely played especially with the Quads 2, I got trapped in there but good thing you didnt clear off my chips. I would have called if you go for all in though . Cant afford to really to fold down my full house and I wouldnt imagine anyone getting Quads 2  

Sorry I cant really respond to you on the chat. That 500 krills kills me but it is really nice to read some chats while playing though. Keep it up next week with some random chats even if I cant reply, I'll be sure to read that

You can thank me on this, I almost cleared out your chips with those 3 kings  . You didnt cracked and now you are guaranteed top 2 spot, goodluck though

Confirmed the 500 chips that you sent back !

Thanks for tonight! 3 Big blinds and a dream!

Yeah, this cooler was hard.. thought I was dead with the next few hands, but  luckily I could recover and managed to beat Steamtyme in the Heads-Up.
Was afraid of him because he was sunrunning tonight!

And thanks again that you lend me the chips for this tourney!

[Betwrong]

There are days when you do everything backwards. Well, not everything because nobody would survive such a day, but many of your activities are going wrong for some unknown reason, and all you can do is to say to yourself postfactum: "Yet another fail today. Great!"

Yesterday was one of those days, and my poker game was affected to the degree of finishing 16th(in the last place) after playing as little as 34 minutes in the event I'd been waiting for the whole week.

First, I folded 99 pre-flop, and lost the opportunity to win good amount of chips with my would-be full house.



Then, 5 minutes later, I called 100 BB all-in, and lost it all.



It wasn't bad luck, it was bad play on my side, because calling all-in with just a pair of Aces, with 8 players at the table, and when it's 100 big blinds, is a bad play, that's all.


Congrats, @seek3r(str8flush), on taking down the tournament!



Congrats, @Steamtyme, @TikTikLyfe(arallmuus) and @mollok(kolloh), on finishing In The Money!

Can't wait for the next tournament!

[1r0n1c]

Globb0 you annoyed me yesterday :-(

can´t believe what I´m playing at the moment. Maybe I should quit those series to save my bucks

Like this (baby brothers twitch account!) 

[Globb0]

Hey I can do that lets talk about how to achieve that?

I don't see it obviously in the settings.

[arallmuus]

First, I folded 99 pre-flop, and lost the opportunity to win good amount of chips with my would-be full house.

Im kinda wondering why did you fold those pocket 9? Thats a pretty decent card, I would pay the price for any pocket pair just to check on the flop .  I dont see any big jump on the pot which means there wasnt anyone raising alot on this case it should be a good call . I might be tempted to fold that card down if someone shove all in with over 3k chips.

Too bad indeed, best of luck next week !

And thanks again that you lend me the chips for this tourney!

My chips definitely brought you some good luck ! lol

seek3r got incredibly lucky in that hand against me when he was down to 300 chips or so or else he would have been knocked out - that's poker since after that, YOU as well as IVAN both donated his way!

[Steamtyme]

Thanks for tonight! 3 Big blinds and a dream!

And thanks again that you lend me the chips for this tourney!

I would hardly call my day a sun run.... says the guy going from 3BB to top spot for the day. Congratulations.

I had my fair share of knockouts but I also doubled up at least 5 people in my quest for their chips. So many spots I was ahead pre that just couldn't hold, but that's to be expected in the old 60/40 spots.

Favorite hand of the day was the ever polite efialitis apologizing to me for 4-bet jamming their TT into my AA.   ;)Made sure to let him know there was no need to apologize. Bounced around a bunch and managed to get heads-up ~20K against s33ker and their 53K.

Took the lead once, but a couple of chopped pots I was ahead on kept me from getting the upperhand, and my truest of fashions I put it all (less 6K) on the line chasing the open ended straight flush draw I flopped against your flopped 2 pair Q6, all the outs in the world couldn't get me there.

See you next week. Great game everybody.

Congrats, @seek3r(str8flush), on taking down the tournament!

Congrats, @Steamtyme, @TikTikLyfe(arallmuus) and @mollok(kolloh), on finishing In The Money!
Can't wait for the next tournament!

Thanks catch you next time. I'm also curious why you laid down the 99 - was it a 3-bet pot??


I have updated finishes for yesterday, and will organize the standings tonight, Im switching dayshift to nightshift so my patterns and schedule are screwy for today.

[famososMuertos]

Congratulations to that Top 4 in the money, but the special game was given by the absentee

The "Absent Player" Game:
Although there was a flash of magic with two poker...in my personal case, a TT against Ax that he hit his Ace in the flop, leaving my pair of TT who attacking from the button with an allin, they got a response from whoever was in the work of "streamer" ...
But turn gave the set and the river left no doubts about my luck in crowning the Fullhouse.

After the exits from position 16 to 11 ...
Link:https://i.imgur.com/5OWIYqS.gif

... Mr. absent enters the scene, who had already been exercising / causing collateral play in some players, as no one wanted to leave the final table, knowing that an absentee was close to a forced all-in.

So, with 4k+ comfortable to enter and hoping to have fold equity, in two players who limper up and that their call to my allin put them at risk, I took courage and threw me allin (maybe squeeze) which had poison because I had an A8...so the fold worked for one of the players, the other called me with a beautiful suiteada hand, I'll take advantage of this here and tell you "nh". Late but worth it, I liked that call.



Again, saving another all-in miraculous on the river.



Finally absentee enters the scene again,  the next play was the forced all-in of the absentee who, showing that he had not arrived there by mere absence  saves the all-in and is gives chips for one more round, the last of that Q4.

OK so the streaming tests and stuff have worked out well. I am building up some content and its great getting to use my creative side, I would usually be using to solve problems at work.

Also Im getting to grips with the balance of working the software and remembering to focus on the games.

Anyway, at this weeks tournament I will be streaming both tables side by side.

If and when I go out, presumably I can turn off the delay because I can no longer see any cards early, so you will see there what is approximately happening live. Then you will miss less hands accidentally looking at twitch and a bonus people can chat cross tables?

Tell me if my logic is wrong?


https://www.twitch.tv/globb0


All the best.


*edit*
Also Ill go live 30 mins early so we can come in no delay and chat, pregame, and how about a quiz? for pride? come on the stream early! Ill see what I can sort out.

*/edit*

[Trofo]

... a bonus people can chat cross tables?

Of course we will find a solution for chat as soon as I manage to get that 500 krill. I am on 480 now and it is a matter of one more session at cash games.

Just kidding, good that you are able to provide free alternative since chat should be available to all for it to have sense. Not like last time I had to watch efi and i4an having fun and I am forced to be quiet.

Okay sorry for the late update... actually had to do some work last night. Unbelievable  


A couple strong finishes and anyone can still make it to the final. See everyone this weekend, I think I'm free but it's a weekend at home so who knows. Very unreliable unlike work  

Looking sick Globb0, I feel like there needs to be a shrine to Magners in there somewhere.

Congratulations to that Top 4 in the money, but the special game was given by the absentee
~snip~

Looking good thanks for these. Looking forward to the final 10. I'm curious do these pick up chat if there is any. Just wondering for reasons. 

[MICRO]

Not bad. Will try it out. Havent played poker in a while.

Micro hi man! Didn't see you in a while! Check it out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51450.msg55245735#msg55245735!
I hope you will join the game!

@Globb0 I can only say great man! I will join the next stream definitely, your party looks much better than party on swc chat!

Okay sorry for the late update... actually had to do some work last night. Unbelievable  

It's ok Steam, better late than never!

I like the standing, one first place and my seat for the final game is guaranteed! I think the next weeks should be mine! Last time I won in runners-up game, and that was ages ago! I will be free for the game, and believe I will be prepared!

Turns out this could be a good strategy! @Hhampuz got close last week but didn’t make final table eventually! 😂

Haha, yea that was close last week!

Not my intention to get sneaky and get in the ranks like that but I'm not at home till tonight. Might test the mobile version for that.

I am registered for tonight but there is big chance I am gonna sit out parts of the game as well. Some relatives coming for social gathering but I will give my best to make them leave soon or to get out and play some hands in the "office"

Working on that krill -495 now, just a bit more to go but I am running out of time, have to go buy some things and cook lunch.

[Betwrong]

First, I folded 99 pre-flop, and lost the opportunity to win good amount of chips with my would-be full house.

Im kinda wondering why did you fold those pocket 9? ~

~ I'm also curious why you laid down the 99 - was it a 3-bet pot??
~

Guys, there was no sane reason for me to fold pocket 99. Like I said, it was one of those days, when you do everything backwards.

I can only hope that like in the TENET movie your doing everything backwards in the past can result in your success in the future. So, I sent 400 chips to "youcantwin", and registered for today's game. Let's see what happens.

[efialtis]

Have you guys seen our mighty Globb0000?!?!?!?!

Guys ... in another order of ideas ... if the Internet does not fail, let's hope the Final table is recorded, quite a few absent today, I think they are copying the successful strategy of last Sunday.

Around here we are still in good afternoon, happy Sunday.

[jayce]

Sorry iv4n cant chat you on the table, still need 450 krills to unlock it LOL. I thought my luck will remain until next break but your 99 

Gg guys ! 

[arallmuus]

Around here we are still in good afternoon, happy Sunday.

Have a great day and it was a nice hand from you but sorry for the early Knocked out  . I wasnt really expecting and all in from you and I was doubting myself for few seconds that it could be a Flush with A and decided to take the risk. Either way It will be a chance for me to double up or down to 1k ish chips so yeah there isnt any option to click on the fold there

I got so many premium hands for the first 10 games, pocket A , pocket K, pocket J, AK, QK, AJ, QJ for first 10 games most of them even have the same suit, damn luck

Steam was the first! From that point we call it Steam strategy for points!

Sorry iv4n cant chat you on the table, still need 450 krills to unlock it LOL. I thought my luck will remain until next break but your 99 

Krill is the problem for many, and I knew it will be, I earned mine with playing a lot, really a lot!
Well you had luck in few hands, and that would be really awesome comeback for you from just 15 chips, but, but... wrong moment for your raise, I had to call!

I got so many premium hands for the first 10 games, pocket A , pocket K, pocket J, AK, QK, AJ, QJ for first 10 games most of them even have the same suit, damn luck

Good game man! You had good hands this evening! Congrats on the win! I think that with these points we secured our seats for the final table! 3 games left and I still plan to take at least one first place in this series! In these moments I miss tyKiwanuka and his stats!

[arallmuus]

Krill is the problem for many, and I knew it will be, I earned mine with playing a lot, really a lot!

Minus 485 krills for me to chat .That small commentary from your for every huge showdown really helps . Atleast it sounds less boring that way, keep it up ! I will read all of it.

Good game man! You had good hands this evening! Congrats on the win!

The first 10 games was great but I was playing games with some friends so I had to sit out for most hands until the first break. I cant really concentrate when Im playing both.

I didnt expect to end up winning this, I was just aiming for atleast top 3 but thanks iv4n, it was really a great match up and the last hands was a tough call . Its been a while since I won my last first spot, in fact I won it twice only and the last one was from 2nd series qualifier #3

think that with these points we secured our seats for the final table! 3 games left and I still plan to take at least one first place in this series! In these moments I miss tyKiwanuka and his stats!

Probably but I think its better to be safe and get like atleast 4 more points just to be on the safe side


Good game everyone, It was a tough game and everyone was really tight 

[morvillz7z]

^Congrats arallmuus on taking the win!

I had a pretty bad game myself, that's for a second straight Sunday, shitty cards on top of some really bad reads.

Guess, i don't need to worry just yet, one strong finish in the next three games should be enough for a spot in the grand finale, 21pts at the moment.

We almost had two full tables today, that's nice to see, we should keep it up that way! 

[Globb0]

Well done for winning.

Thanks !

Guess, i don't need to worry just yet, one strong finish in the next three games should be enough for a spot in the grand finale, 21pts at the moment.

At this rate, if you can get atleast 10 points out of 3 games then you could be getting one spot on the Grand Finale. The last game of the series would have the less player so it could be a good chance to get higher points there

Well done for winning.

Thanks !

The blinds got too high before most of us could build up a decent stack and iv4n was bullying us with those raise so it would be the right decision to wait on some good hands rather than to risk it. I just watch it on Twitch, those commentary was great. Love your reaction on each showdown especially those big showdown . It was really tight and there was alot of ups and down for alot of us.

Wow thats very fun to watch! This entertains me a lot..
Just watched a few key hands, not the whole VOD but it would be great to hear that you continue streaming AND comment it for the next few weeks.


But still wish you the best of luck for the next deep run! 

[Globb0]

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes I will be streaming it next week.

I need to be better prepared for 1 and 2 table layouts because I could only use about half of the material I have made and I also needed to play poker!  


Ultimate aim at the moment is 50 twitch followers, we now have 14, thanks everyone 1/3 of the way there..


Last night we had 9 people on the stream which was awesome. but yes this is the weekend and the big game. Still it was a nice taste of a more active channel.


At SwC I made friends with the Chefcatradio.com people.

They are really nice they have chat and good music so worth a look honestly. Some of them came to watch you guys play yesterday  

All the best

What a video, man! Thank you so much! I have no time to watch it right now, but I can't stop watching it! 20 minutes have flown by like like 20 seconds! Your comments are killing me! "... contemplates life, the universe and everything"(c) Man! I forced myself to stop on the 23-rd minute, but now I know what to watch with my wife this evening!


GG, everyone!

Can't wait for the spreadsheet update. I feel like the competition for the place in the top 9 will be tighter than ever this time.

[-CryptoViking-]

Hey, I presume it is too late to join now, but do you organize this regularly? I would be interested to join the next one.

[arallmuus]

Every weekends on Sunday but there are only 3 more games to go for the 4th series before The Grand Finale ( Not sure if we might have the 5th series ). Anyone that has bitcointalk account are always welcome to join this.

You might not get enough points on the last 3 games for the Grand Finale, unless you managed to get atleast 29 / 30 points on 3 games but you can still join and win some chips. The prizepool is decent, 1000 chips buy in and all goes into the pot ( extra 400 chips needs to be sent to efialtis on swc ) so there are decent of prize if you managed to get into ITM spot

See you on the table if you decided to join

Wow! That's great man! Really, really great. I just loved it. Especially your expression when you got AA literally killed me, lol. Will surely join the live version of your stream next weekend. By the way, don't we get to know your cards in live stream or does it run with the delay of few minutes?


Not a good game for me. I was very busy yesterday and decided to sit out the game however, later joined it but still wasn't able to play to the full potential. My chances to make to the final table already looking slim but will try to get ITM in next two tourneys to get back into race. Congrats arallmuus on winning this one!

[Trofo]

Hey, I presume it is too late to join now, but do you organize this regularly? I would be interested to join the next one.

Hey man, nice to see you here. You got your answer already from one of the regulars I'll just add a bit of propaganda 

I started playing this series from the beginning as a way to pass time in corona lockdown. I fully expected to stop when real life started again but I gut hooked and I played all but one tournament across all our series.

My advice is that you play one of the remaining tournaments and get a feel for it. That way you will be all set for new series if/when it starts.

If there is something unclear feel free to pm me or hit me on telegram and we can discuss it in Croatian 

[Globb0]

Hey, I presume it is too late to join now, but do you organize this regularly? I would be interested to join the next one.

its not too late we have 3 games left in the series.

They take place on a Sunday.

Most of the information is in the first post or so.

Guys, if you don't have time for watching the whole video, I encourage you to watch the final part, which is just a bit over 20 minutes. I would call that part "The rise and rise of TikTokLyfe", and I enjoyed every bit of it, even was replaying some moments. You can start from here:



Notice that TikTokLyfe is on the fourth place,  with only 10 BBs, and we all know how the tournament ended!

Nice to rewatch.
At this part it was a "Shove or Muck" game to be honest.
Everyone was shortstacked and everything was possible. One double-up and you were on top, but in the end it turned out to be TykTok! He kept calm and played very well.
Congratulations again!

[figmentofmyass]

dang, can't believe i missed 4 weekends in a row! life has been crazy lately. even if i manage to play the last 3 qualifiers, i'll need a miracle to get into the final. no worries, i'll at least ship the runner's up tourney.

congrats on taking it down last week @arallmuus!

Thanks for the detailed info m8, I will most likely join at least one tourney before the series end to get a feel for it as my countryman @Trofo suggested. I will PM you on TG for sure, jut to make sure I don't mess up something when it comes to transactions and joining.

Thanks for the encouragement and a nice welcome @Globb0 and everyone else. I might drag more people here that love Texas Holdem

You did great yourself, mate. Look at your number of chips, compared to mine, at this point:



and you managed to finish ITM, while I was knocked out in the money bubble. So, congrats, I guess.

You won't regret - these games really have become sort of a regular meetup between friends - who would have thought that before we got the games going but yeah, that's how things developed.

Only that I am still waiting for iv4n‘s invitation to meet up and play at his place...! And more importantly, enjoy some food and drinks! 

[seek3r]

I just checked on the spreadsheet, and it looks like something is wrong in  placing players in this table:



Or, am I missing something?

The points should be fine, only the order of each place should be updated. I guess this will be edited in the next few hours.
The same issue with the right order was seen last week aswell.

[Steamtyme]

Lol spreadsheet points are fine. My time is stupid limited this week, i managed a few minutes just to put placing in last night.

I'll adjust positions tonight when i snag a few minutes. Sorry folks, just a lot of long days at work this week, and was playing from the highway on Sunday.

[tyKiwanuka]

Hi Poker friends

I saw you were a bit impatient with @Steamtyme, so I updated the sheet and stats.

The ranking after 5/8 tournaments played:



@Improved, @arallmuus and @Iv4n look pretty safe, the rest still has some work to do, especially our bigmouth and host @efialtis, who always is a lock for the Grand Final at the start of every series according to himself, but so far he wasn't seen at the Champions table.


The most loyal players:



Unfortunately @Trofo skipped the third tournament of this series and we are down to two players who joined every single tournament so far. What was the prize again for the last man standing ?


Point finishes:



@Betwrong and @Improved top this category with @Iv4n going strong with 5/5 for this series. @figmentofmyass and me are fading a bit here unfortunately.


Money finishes (based on Top4 as always):



With @Improved doing so well in this series, he now tops this category, but @arallmuus was able to climb some places as well. @yahoo62278 still Top10, although he left the series for a long time and his short comeback for series 4 didn't result in any money finishes (yet).


Average finishes over all series:



@famososMuertos jumps into Top3 right away, but the sample size is still very small.
@kolloh is slowly but surely improving his average after not being able to get anything going in the first few tournaments after he joined the series. But recent results show that he got to know the players and their style better by now.
@Hhampuz and @Steamtyme have rather bad averages with 10.8 and 11.0 - they either do very good or exit early-ish.
@Globb0 is on a little streak with finishing 14th place three times in a row. His results are kind of "funny" anyway: 14-2-18-16-16-2-12-17-2-14-14-14, so either bad or second place. Hope you will get your first tourney win asap, that stream is amazing


The Lottery:



Atm there are 2 prizes á 8.600 chips each for the lottery. As a reminder: If you paid the extra chips to efialtis, but do not join the tournament, these chips are considered a donation, unless you request a refund, which you can still do now, if you want those chips back. But for now, they are donations and go 200/200 towards the Lottery & Grand Final.


Some screenshots are a bit blurry, sorry for that. Good luck everyone for the last 3 tournaments of this series and then also for Grand & small final & Lottery

[arallmuus]

Hi Poker friends

Its always nice to see you and all of this spreadsheet and stuff

especially our bigmouth and host @efialtis, who always is a lock for the Grand Final at the start of every series according to himself, but so far he wasn't seen at the Champions table.

This could finally be his moment with 15 points if he keeps playing for the rest of the game and score some points 

With @Improved doing so well in this series, he now tops this category, but @arallmuus was able to climb some places as well. @yahoo62278 still Top10, although he left the series for a long time and his short comeback for series 4 didn't result in any money finishes (yet).

Didnt know that I was doing decent with 8 times but most of them probably was either 3rd or 4th spot  , In terms of prizes Bitmutiny should be on top of the list because he got the 1st spot alot of times compared with the others


Come and join us on the table this week Tyki although its abit late but you probably could be getting the ITM spot

[Betwrong]

I'll adjust positions tonight when i snag a few minutes. Sorry folks, just a lot of long days at work this week, and was playing from the highway on Sunday.

I didn't mean to hurry you, or anything. Sorry if it looked that way. I just thought maybe some mechanical mistake was made, and wanted to help to correct it. Also, I really allowed the possibility of me missing some new rules.
Thank you very much for what you are doing!  No one has the right to hurry you, we can only be grateful.

Hi Poker friends

I saw you were a bit impatient with @Steamtyme, so I updated the sheet and stats.

The ranking after 5/8 tournaments played:



@Improved, @arallmuus and @Iv4n look pretty safe, the rest still has some work to do, ~

I agree. Having 29+ points at this stage almost guarantees the place in the Grand Final. As for the rest of us - a fierce combat is coming.

Theoretically, even yahoo, Trofo and FOMA could end up in the top 9, if the following scenario would materialize:



And this applies even more to others, who take higher positions currently.

So, anyone, literally anyone, even someone who hasn't play even a single game yet (@MICRO and @-CryptoViking-, I hope you are reading this ), still has a chance to get into the Grand Final.

[iv4n]

snip

Finally! This topic is not the same without your stats man! Thanks for awesome stats and comments!

Just a quick reminder, I still didn't win any tournament in this season!

especially our bigmouth and host @efialtis, who always is a lock for the Grand Final at the start of every series according to himself, but so far he wasn't seen at the Champions table.

This could finally be his moment with 15 points if he keeps playing for the rest of the game and score some points 

Well it looks like it's now or never for Efi!

[Improved]

@Improved, @arallmuus and @Iv4n look pretty safe,

Well, I think 32 is enough to qualify.
Now I can play the last 3 tourneys just like any normal 1K buy-in tournament . I mean, no need to pay additional 400 chips.

[Steamtyme]

I didn't mean to hurry you, or anything.

No worries. No offence taken just wanted to update everyone. Bonus was we all got some pretty stats and updates.

See everyone Sunday I believe. House full of sickies this week, nothing serious so we'll see how my time gets divided lol

[Betwrong]

~

Just a quick reminder, I still didn't win any tournament in this season!

If by that you mean that it's time for you to take at least one first place, keep in mind that I haven't won a single qualifier in all 4 Series! So, I have the right to expect one or two wins too.  And I'm sure I'm not alone in this position. As I said, a fierce combat is coming. Be prepared!

If you mean you can play in other than Bitcointalk Poker Series' 1K buy-in tournaments, I disagree because:

1. you can harvest more lottery tickets(they are ripened and waiting for labourers! )

2. the fun we get out of playing in our Series worth additional 400 chips.

I can't believe how SOME PEOPLE here are making fun when it comes to my poker skills - tyKi & co - you guys know very well... that if there wasn't any luck involved... 

[Trofo]

I can't believe how SOME PEOPLE here are making fun when it comes to my poker skills - tyKi & co - you guys know very well... that if there wasn't any luck involved...  

I would be without a single point.

Idea was to finish your sentence, correct? 

Anyway, just joined, only 7 of us here at the moment.

LOL - yes, it was but not like this... the guy with 0 pts joining the hater party, jeeeeeeeeeez! 

Anyone in for a bet? I bet I will make grand final - tyKi, you gonna lay this???

We will be more by tomorrow, I am sure - to be honest, I feel our numbers in this series have been pretty good, especially when considering that many regulars have been missing lots of games. And when reflecting even more, it's pretty exceptional we have become such a big group of people meeting up every week for a paid game, isn't it? By now, it really feels like "home games".

[Trofo]

LOL - yes, it was but not like this... the guy with 0 pts joining the hater party, jeeeeeeeeeez! 

Maybe, but at least I played in the grand final already
Granted it was for a bout 3 minutes, give or take.

It really does feel like "home games" and I am really happy we managed to pull that off here in the forum. 

[tyKiwanuka]

Anyone in for a bet? I bet I will make grand final - tyKi, you gonna lay this???

Well, I guess you will miss at least one future tournament in this series due to hangover and maybe another one for some other reason (probably a female reason ). This leaves you with only one opportunity to collect some more points. And since Globb0 will win tomorrow, you can get 9pts max, which might not be enough to make it.

And then you will get dsq'ed anyway, because you didn't pay the fee for tournament #5 (to yourself^^). So, I'll take any bet

[Steamtyme]

that if there wasn't any luck involved... 

ROFL. I love it... If we were playing who's card is highest I would wipe the floor with you guys. I tried playing this with a dude last night. He was jamming more often that Globb0  , so in the gross spot of me in 3rd facing down 4th out of 38 remaining I called him down, turns out AKoff, is no good against 97off.

Not touching your bet with a 10 foot pole. Gut feeling is efi is done being the teased one and will do anything to get points in all of the remaining qualifiers.

Hopefully see everyone tomorrow at the tables

[efialtis]

I can't believe how SOME PEOPLE here are making fun when it comes to my poker skills - tyKi & co - you guys know very well... that if there wasn't any luck involved...  

I would be without a single point.

Idea was to finish your sentence, correct? 

Anyway, just joined, only 7 of us here at the moment.

I invited some of my friends here and congratulations for the new features Blackjack.fun will soon become the top blackjack game in the industry I hope the developers can keep it up adding more features and innovation for blackjack players, glad to be in this campaign now in it's 13th week hope we can reach 30th week 

While I like blackjack.fun personally, I don't see how this related here? Did you post this here by accident or am I missing something?

Thanks @famososMuertos
It's always a pleasure for me to see again how I kicked our secret starplayer efialtis out of the tourney! Again..

Hyped for tonight, I'm also in boys! Gl everyone, especially for you efi, time to make some points!

[Globb0]

Hey hey

We will be live tonight for fun and poker on https://www.twitch.tv/globb0

I am seriously considering setting 0 delay. 

Please join us for the game and the stream, it will be fun.


Thanks for following on twitch to help us build it up.

[Steamtyme]

I am seriously considering setting 0 delay. 

Please no you are fun to watch but at 0 delay no one can watch in good concience.

See everyone in a little under 2 hours. Be warned I shook out all my bad luck last night - Took a few bullets but I might finally be able to hold when ahead.

[iv4n]

Thanks @famososMuertos! It's nice to watch some hands again! The most interesting ones are 7th and 8th place! Hand for 8th place, I call the raise from Mollok, but after Betwrong made his move I folded 77! One of those 7's was heart, so I would win that hand, but 16k (my all in) was too high for me in that part of the game. For 7th place I had luck with the set of fives!

I am seriously considering setting 0 delay. 

Please no you are fun to watch but at 0 delay no one can watch in good concience.

See everyone in a little under 2 hours. Be warned I shook out all my bad luck last night - Took a few bullets but I might finally be able to hold when ahead.

With 0 delay you will not be able to play Globb0! How can you play poker if we can see your cards!? Sadly I am playing from work tonight, I will not be able to follow you there!

Steam maybe bad luck is not done with you? You know how that can last for days?

See you at the tables people, I expect tight play and big fight for points!

[efialtis]

GL fellas - you will need it!

@Globb0 Not streaming man? Come on, was highlight of the day!

Congratulations on winning the 6th game  . You have been getting ITM spot, 3 times in a row and 2 out of 3 of those ITM spot are the 1st spot

I joined this game today with the intention of getting atleast 1 point to secure my spot on the Grand Finale but I was knocked out before the 10th spot . It was a crazy all in, I was expecting you to have either pocket 10, J or Q but you have pocket 6 instead and the flop has 6 which makes it three of a kind.

Now that I think about it, I should have raise the pot higher before the flop


On another side, Jayce made another record by getting the 2nd spot which is his highest achievement so far since the #1 series . Congratulations as well , too bad you didnt make it to the top spot this time but atleast you secure some decent point to book your spot on the Grand Finale

[Globb0]

Hahaha thanks.

Sorry to start a bit late its cos I needed to fiddle with the layouts and stuff so it would work on 0 delay.

But I thought it worked OK? I only blurted stuff out once?

What do you recon?

GG all by the way I will get the video up again.

Haha thanks. Was sunrunning at the beginning  to the annoyance of efialtis but missed some spots when it got deep.
And yeah that was really crazy, but after I hit the set on that dry board I was committed to the pot. If you would have raised preflop I would muck this hand.

See you guys next week! Was a tough game today.

[Trofo]

Thanks for following if you can.

I guess I have to make account for that? I watched most of the stream today but was too lazy to make an account, will make the effort before next time. Today I was juggling several football games on my monitors so it got crowded real soon. Kudos to LFC supporters, it is not easy to be in your skin tonight

Good work with stream and comments Globb0, you have really added another dimension to our game.

Congrats to all of you with points and ITM finishes, this season is not working for me. Will have to get my game together before next one. What is strange I am doing better than ever on cash tables. I guess tournaments and cash games require different strategies.

Yeah absolutely, you have to adjust your playstyle at tourneys more often.. depends on the stack size. At cashgame tables you should play with atleast 100bb at any time.

And yeah.. you have to register at twitch to follow streamers. But the registration is done within a minute.. Would be great if you follow Globb0 there, every follower helps him!

Everything was fine, was very entertaining again, hope to tune in next sunday aswell.
Your solution with the delay was also great. If you would have streamed with a delay you had to turn off the stream to change this, right?

Exactly that bud, last week we had 14 at peak. But the delay wouldn't turn off.

After restart we only had 2 or 3. So this is the better solution. More so because most people cant talk in the SwC room.

If you put your table window on top of stream you can watch both and see when you have to do something.

Then you can also chat in the stream as we did today.

Also a what if, what if I could rig up some kind of streamed live chat? would people want something like that?



Yes follows help, we practically passed all requirements for affiliate now except only 16 out of the 50 required followers. I am negotiating with God to be allowed to continue. Proud of that achievement so far but I have very kind friends.

I didn't have time to join the tournament this week, but nice that you have a stream so I can have a look and get a feel for it this way before I join you guys. You will also get a follow from me, no problemo    I hope that as you end with this series you will start a new one so new players have a chance to participate in the final tourney, that will make it more exciting and interesting for us new guys for sure.

What a poker evening yesterday.
Quite early, one of my first hands was pocket 33 and I lost almost everything. Flop: K K 3 … Obaming and me went all in, unfortunately Obaming had pocket KK 
I lost almost all of my Chips, just had 400 or 500 left but I had a nice comeback and gained some points at the end!

What a desaster that I lost again almost everything against str8flu5h, his A J has beaten my A Q, what a shame...

Dude, your comeback yesterday was insane. You were almost dead after a couple of hands and made it to the final table which was really impressive.
I didnt want to play hands against you and unfortunately you lost the flip against me. Well played my german friend!

Here is the final table movie highlight - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/760837424

Tbh I played some bullshit this series. Don´t know if I will participate for the last 2 games but hopefully we will start the next series soon

After reading this I signed up to Twitch right away, and the first thing I did there was I followed Globb0. So, you have 18 followers now(someone besides me did the same apparently ).

Your commentaries rule, mate! Defo going to watch "Game 6" later today with my wife.

Answering your question, "Did you have a King, Betwrong?", Yes, I did




We had yet another great game yesterday.

Congrats on winning the tournament, @seek3r!

Thanks to all for playing!

Here's how I was knocked out by @jayce/NoobHere on the 21st minute of the 4th hour of the game. I turned a straight, and went all-in



But NoobHere rivered a better straight!



But you better watch it on Globb0's channel, there's much more than just pictures .

[jayce]

On another side, Jayce made another record by getting the 2nd spot which is his highest achievement so far since the #1 series . Congratulations as well , too bad you didnt make it to the top spot this time but atleast you secure some decent point to book your spot on the Grand Finale

Haha thanks. Was sunrunning at the beginning  to the annoyance of efialtis but missed some spots when it got deep.
And yeah that was really crazy, but after I hit the set on that dry board I was committed to the pot. If you would have raised preflop I would muck this hand.

That was a luck hit. If I was you, I also would go all-in haha. We had a tight game on the last table indeed.

[figmentofmyass]

well done @jayce---good to see you cashing.

with so few qualifiers left, i'm officially out of the running at this point. i set an alarm to play yesterday and intended to play like a maniac (chip up quick or bust) but when the time came i just went back to sleep. i was just coming off a 12+ hour drive the night before.

not my series! i'm still hoping to make it to the last couple games though....

[arallmuus]

I hope that as you end with this series you will start a new one so new players have a chance to participate in the final tourney, that will make it more exciting and interesting for us new guys for sure.

Not sure if we will have another one but when we thought that 3rd series would probably be the last one, Efialtis surprised us with the 4th . So cross your finger that he can secure another one with swc

You can also play the last two game and then get your seat on the small final ( Not sure if we will have small final again this time )

The Small Final

Every player who joined at least 2 of the 8 qualifying tournaments, will be eligible to play in the Small Final, no matter how many points they accumulated. That is in case both Finals will run simultan You will receive a password for this tournament and don't have to pay an entry fee. TBD: I prefer only players to participate in this who have not qualified for the Grand Finale.

The date and prize money is TBA.

The Lottery

After reading this I signed up to Twitch right away, and the first thing I did there was I followed Globb0.

I signed up to Twitch just to follow Globb0 !

It seems you are quite busy nowadays, missed your super tight play on the table   . Come and play 1 more game so that you will qualify for the Small Final incase there will be one, I'll take you on the table  

[CoinEraser]

Nice to see that there is still the poker tournament. Will take part again at the next tournament. I'm curious to see who wins tournament #4. Good luck to all participants. 

[Improved]

Those who didn't pay 400 chips fee (like me) shouldn't get points!

[webtricks]

And it happened again. I always prefer Barca game above anything else and it was second week in a row that Barcelona game clashed with our poker tourney. Both time, game was scheduled 2 hours after poker started. So I had the strategy to play aggressively for first two hours, stake enough chips and then sitout to end somewhere around 6-7th position. However, both times I failed to stack big pile. Hence, I played do/die hands at the start of 3rd hour and eventually lost.

Now I have slimmest of the chance to qualify for the final but I am going to give everything next Sunday. Beware everyone! I am surely winning the next qualifier. But the bad thing is that Barcelona again has the fixture that will clash with the 8th qualifier. Timings are not out yet but I hope that match would end before the poker starts.


PS: I went all-in against SteamTyme (if I remember correctly) with 55 against KQ after flop. King was already dealt on the table along with the pair of sixes. I knew that hand, played with same hole and flop cards before and I was sure another 5 gonna dealt on the river and that so happened. I didn't check SwC's RNG yet but it may be possible that combination of cards repeat. It may be mere co-incidence but I will have a look into that.

[Steamtyme]

Those who didn't pay 400 chips fee (like me) shouldn't get points!

As much as it directly benefits me I'm okay with being lenient on late payers, especially if you are a reg who got passwords.

I would say it's probably best to payup as soon as you realise the mistake. That or early so as to make things easier on efi.

Oh yeah stats have been updated for a few hours.

I don't think it was a mistake but intentional - I just can't figure out why but looking at that post...

~

@Improved, @arallmuus and @Iv4n look pretty safe,

Well, I think 32 is enough to qualify.
Now I can play the last 3 tourneys just like any normal 1K buy-in tournament . I mean, no need to pay additional 400 chips.

What's wrong man? When I read that, I thought you were making a joke - tell me you didn't really join the game with the intention of not paying the massive amount of 400 chips... saying players who don't pay the fees, wouldn't get points, doesn't make it any better.

[Globb0]

Lets see what we can do.

[Steamtyme]

~snip~

Right. If I read that post I definitely missed that part. It seems that was the intent, and is complete BS.

So it's 4am, night shift and I'm getting slightly sick. So I'll try and be short and to the point. The fees for these tournaments are non-negotiable. Like for the sake of fuck, there are individuals who pre-pay their entire series, and given the choice are donating any additional fees they pay rather than take a refund they are entitled to and can receive. This is a semi-fun community game, not some reg table in the basement of Vinny's fine automotives where nothing but the chips matter and Villains be damned.

I couldn't point out anybody here except maybe Globb0, but when I talk about these plays and beats it's like I'm discussing playing with friends. Hell the wife even laughed and asked if we play for money because she said" You don't even seem a little pissed" after a suckout or BB.

So to see someone angling themselves ere in this manner, is pretty F'ing disgusting to me. The lottery was set up because we have a wide range of skill levels and wanted to keep this fun and reasonable for all.

So much for short and to the point - Again, Entry fees 1000+400 are non negotiable.

PS: I went all-in against SteamTyme (if I remember correctly) with 55 against KQ after flop. King was already dealt on the table along with the pair of sixes. I knew that hand, played with same hole and flop cards before and I was sure another 5 gonna dealt on the river and that so happened. I didn't check SwC's RNG yet but it may be possible that combination of cards repeat. It may be mere co-incidence but I will have a look into that.

Please make that same play every time. I'll happily be your guinea pig; you have used up your 8% 

[Betwrong]

~ Entry fees 1000+400 are non negotiable.
~

I agree.  After all, it is stated in the rules(in the OP):

The entry fee per tournament is 1,400 Chips or 0.0014 BTC.
1,000 chips you pay for registering for the tournaments directly at SwC.
400 chips you send to the SwC account "youcantwin" via P2P transfer. 200 of those chips go towards the prize pool for the Grand Final, the other 200 chips towards the lottery.

I suggest @Improved to give it another thought. Rules are rules, they apply to everyone.

~ Oh yeah stats have been updated for a few hours.

Thank you! I will just post a screenshot here for the convenience.



Anyone, starting from Globb0 and up, still has a chance to qualify for the Grand Final. It means that we have 12 contenders for the 5 places in the top 9 (with 4 places already taken by Iv4n, Improvoed, seeker and arallmuus). "Now the plot begins to thicken.(c) 'The Gentlemen'

[arallmuus]

(with 4 places already taken by Iv4n, Improvoed, seeker and arallmuus). "Now the plot begins to thicken.(c) 'The Gentlemen'

Betwrong, Is this confirmed ? To be honest I dont feel safe getting the 4th spot with only 31 points  . I was playing last weekend hoping to only get atleast one point to secure my spot because there are few new names that actually made it as a contenders for the Grand Finale unlike the previous series so getting more points should be a safer option for me

Alot can happen at this point but Ivan and improved should be 100% safe to get the slot for the Grand Finale

[Improved]

tell me you didn't really join the game with the intention of not paying the massive amount of 400 chips... saying players who don't pay the fees, wouldn't get points, doesn't make it any better.

Lol. Yes, it was an intention.
I thought it's funny to start using this little "white privilege" of the chipleader. Stir up the swamp, so to speak.

But anyway, if players oppose this idea, no problem.

Let's make a poll, mods?

I mean that we should be safe aswell. If everyone continues to play the last qualifiers aswell.

Im trying to play every qualifier, even if it should be safe in the final. Because I still like to play for the regular pricepool of each qualifier.
And I want to be on #1 after all qualifiers ended.

No need for a poll. Its clearly written in the OP that the buyin is 1400 chips or 0,0014 BTC and not 1000 or 0,001 BTC
Everything else in my respect is violating the trust of efialtis who sent the regs the passwords for all tournaments.

[webtricks]

I want to take a moment and appreciate SwC. I sent them mail on Sunday to upgrade my seal to 'Floundering' from 'Baby' so I can chat on the table. I also mentioned that I am ready to pay for the upgrade.

To my surprise, 60 krills were added to my account when I opened SwC today. I already had 440 krills so now I have 500 and can chat on the tables. Also, SwC charged nothing for it. I really appreciate the gesture. Hope this series continue forever and I am inclined to join it as long as it runs. I also see 2-3 interested members who wanna get in as regulars. So I predict the number will grow to 20 if we gonna see the #5th rolling in.

[iv4n]

No need for a poll.

No need! I agree with that! And Steam made a f. good comment in his Canadian style!

Not sure if we will have another one but when we thought that 3rd series would probably be the last one, Efialtis surprised us with the 4th . So cross your finger that he can secure another one with swc

I will help/organise the next one.

I didn't feel like I knew enough early on but I have learnt now.

Lets see what we can do.

Well I can only say that I hope we will play many more series! Some people from here really grown to my heart (I hope it's the right term) for all this time!

I will repeat it once again, in case some of you forgot, I still hope we will play one live series by the sea, hosted by Efi in his house by the sea (or his boat)!

[famososMuertos]

Come on! If the final were today, these are the happy guys who make the final table.

As I understand it, they all start with the same chips, at the final table, that's why place 9 is as valuable as being first, mathematically there is a chance for that position number 9.

What if there is a tie in points for that position 9?

efialtis,
In the spreadsheet I appear with a "D" in my interpretation I think I shouldn't have it, I played that tournament.

[tyKiwanuka]

What if there is a tie in points for that position 9?

Average finishing position in all tournaments participated in the series is the tie-breaker then. There is a column for average finish, but it's hidden for the time being between column "Pts Tot" and "Tickets".

In the spreadsheet I appear with a "D" in my interpretation I think I shouldn't have it, I played that tournament.

I put that D in, since you have no placement for that tournament, so I assumed you paid, but didn't join. But I can't check without screenshots - anyone has them for T5 ?

[Trofo]

No need for a poll. Its clearly written in the OP that the buyin is 1400 chips or 0,0014 BTC and not 1000 or 0,001 BTC
Everything else in my respect is violating the trust of efialtis who sent the regs the passwords for all tournaments.

Exactly, no poll. Rules are set and everybody is paying those 400 no matter what their position is. That money goes 50:50 to lottery and final table so it definitely isn't fair for all other players if somebody doesn't pay it.

I pay those 400 at the begging of each season for all 8 tournaments as incentive for myself to join as many of them as possible and if I don't make it then they are considered as donations. As somebody already wrote it, this series is about much more than money itself and I guess that is the reason I keep coming back every Sunday even if I am nowhere near "killer" mood needed for sitting few hours in front of the computer kicking all of you out of the game

not my series! i'm still hoping to make it to the last couple games though....

Thanks man, much appreciated

[Steamtyme]

What if there is a tie in points for that position 9?

Average finishing position in all tournaments participated in the series is the tie-breaker then. There is a column for average finish, but it's hidden for the time being between column "Pts Tot" and "Tickets".

In the spreadsheet I appear with a "D" in my interpretation I think I shouldn't have it, I played that tournament.

I put that D in, since you have no placement for that tournament, so I assumed you paid, but didn't join. But I can't check without screenshots - anyone has them for T5 ?

They finished 17th place, i must not have added them in before headed to bed/work that day. I didn't double check anything afterwards. Sorry for that. I will correct it tonight.

[arallmuus]

I mean that we should be safe aswell. If everyone continues to play the last qualifiers aswell.

Im trying to play every qualifier, even if it should be safe in the final. Because I still like to play for the regular pricepool of each qualifier.
And I want to be on #1 after all qualifiers ended.

Im backing down If I have secure my slot on the Grand Finale. Less people means higher chance to secure top position/points so it would benefit more to those that are still competing for the Grand Finale slot. Well of course it is personal preference even if you choose to play it all . Probably I will play another one, I want to atleast get some more points  

To my surprise, 60 krills were added to my account when I opened SwC today. I already had 440 krills so now I have 500 and can chat on the tables.

Do you think they will be so kind to give me 480 free krills so that I can chat?  

Let's make a poll, mods?

No poll, buy in is always 1000+400 chips. You can always choose not to play the rest of the game because you have secure a slot on the Grand Finale instead of just paying 1000 chips

[figmentofmyass]

tell me you didn't really join the game with the intention of not paying the massive amount of 400 chips... saying players who don't pay the fees, wouldn't get points, doesn't make it any better.

Lol. Yes, it was an intention.
I thought it's funny to start using this little "white privilege" of the chipleader. Stir up the swamp, so to speak.

But anyway, if players oppose this idea, no problem.

Let's make a poll, mods?

just pay the 400 chips/game dude. everyone else did. those chips are part of the buy-in because they pay for prize pool in the championship. it's not just a matter of the lottery tickets.

with so few qualifiers left, i'm officially out of the running at this point. i set an alarm to play yesterday and intended to play like a maniac (chip up quick or bust) but when the time came i just went back to sleep. i was just coming off a 12+ hour drive the night before.

not my series! i'm still hoping to make it to the last couple games though....

It seems you are quite busy nowadays, missed your super tight play on the table  . Come and play 1 more game so that you will qualify for the Small Final incase there will be one, I'll take you on the table 

yeah, super busy these days. there's 2 qualifiers left right? i should make at least one of them. i'd like to at least keep up my streak of cashing in either the championship or the runners up final in each series.

[Betwrong]

(with 4 places already taken by Iv4n, Improvoed, seeker and arallmuus). "Now the plot begins to thicken.(c) 'The Gentlemen'

Betwrong, Is this confirmed ? To be honest I dont feel safe getting the 4th spot with only 31 points  . I was playing last weekend hoping to only get atleast one point to secure my spot because there are few new names that actually made it as a contenders for the Grand Finale unlike the previous series so getting more points should be a safer option for me

Alot can happen at this point but Ivan and improved should be 100% safe to get the slot for the Grand Finale

It is not confirmed, of course , but, based on the previous seasons, 31 points should be enough to qualify for the Grand Finale:

Season 1                                                  

Season 2  

Season 3


But by that I don't mean you shouldn't play in Q7 and Q8, oh no! You are one of those players who definitely makes the game more interesting. So, please, participate in as many as you can!

But anyway, if players oppose this idea, no problem.

You talk sense now, mate. Just Do It.

[Improved]

No need for a poll.

No need! I agree with that!

Exactly, no poll.

No poll, buy in is always 1000+400 chips.

just pay the 400 chips/game dude

Just Do It.

   Okay then. Case closed by unanimous decision!

:...//...:

I was going to upload the (painful) moment when my T6sH crashed into QJsH @arallmuus (winner of that Q5) but thanks to Steamtyme for the clarification.

ND.

[STT]

Ive been watching the thread from afar as I only started playing regularly this year I dont think it would be productive to enter without watching a few games so thanks to Globbo for recording and commentating.  I followed, I'll watch that through and get a bit better orientated hopefully can join in future, I wasnt sure if winning one qualifier would be enough but its only pts so I get the idea I think.  2 qualifiers played would enter the small final and also every qualifier increases the lotto part right, seems a good setup for new players even and hopefully the twitch video will encourage more.

But NoobHere rivered a better straight!

To get an opponent with 2 cards to complete also improve a straight is very unlucky so far as I know, cant help luck.

The absolute luck of this, all in pre flop and somehow is granted ridiculous luck from what I can see.

Would love to have you, either for the remainder of this series or the next. It's funny at first glance that hand looks like an absolute luck job. All in pre though it's around 60/40 in favor of the 7's. With less than 10 Bigs it's a great feeling when you can survive those shoves.

Hey if that's to me use anything from my stuff anytime you like. You are welcome its all awesome.

I will be streaming today with no delay so we  can use the chat again if we want.

Suggest you put your table window over the table on the stream then you can use both.

I may have to squeeze in the sunday million table somewhere too.

And marbles.  lol   

See you all later, good luck!

G0

[Trofo]

I will be streaming today with no delay so we  can use the chat again if we want.

Finally took the time and signed up for twitch and of course followed your channel. Damn twitch had Trofo used up as nick so I had to add another T, hate it when that happens

Anyway, I have registered for tonight so all set see you guys there.

Efi find a way to join us on the tables and no excuses, it isn't the same when few of the regulars are missing. Same goes for FOMA, did not see you for quite some time.

[Steamtyme]

Sup folks. I'll be registering but can't be sure I make it back for the tourney today. It's turkeyday/Thanksgiving here and while the plan was to eat earlier more like lunch and chill the rest of the day, plans are crumbling and commotion is picking up.... typical holiday lol. Hoping I only miss out the first hour and can still get in there and jam into the nuts.

Good luck all

[seek3r]

Hey guys,

just letting you know that most likely I won't make it tonight - I know you couldn't care less, just saying! I will try but if I won't be there, GL to all of you.

Damn, the only reason I would play tonight was to suckout you again
Ok just kidding, looks like I am not playing today aswell because I am drunk. Wouldn’t make sense to play seriously.. so I might miss this one.


Everyone else good luck tonight, excited to see the results tonight or tomorrow. Will take a nap now!

[arallmuus]

Ok just kidding, looks like I am not playing today aswell because I am drunk. Wouldn’t make sense to play seriously.. so I might miss this one.

So that was the reason I didnt see you on the table today  

I just got crushed by Jayce, I had A 10 while he had AK

Board was K A K K 4 , I cant remember the river card and I was betting on flop and turn then he called me. I check on the river and he raise another bet and as he was the short stack and we are on the bubble so I thought this might be him trying to bluff me out or he probably has pocket pair or something but turns out he has Quads  

This is probably the second time in this series that I got crushed by Quads, the first time was Iv4n with his quads deuce.


Anyway Mission accomplished for me, I got another 2 points to secure my spot for the Grand Finale  

[Trofo]

Ok just kidding, looks like I am not playing today aswell because I am drunk. Wouldn’t make sense to play seriously.. so I might miss this one.

Damn, if I used that excuse I would have missed half of our tournaments so far and not just one I actually like playing with a bit of buzz.

Not my day at tables today, got what I deserved since I did not have the patience to wait for my luck to turn. I played also some satellites and lost on some unbelievable hands. No matter, cash games are going very well for me lately so I am making money on them and then giving it to you guys. Something like poker Robin Hood

Haha, in my case it was "a little bit" more. And I know myself, would change my mindset in that case and would gamble a lot.

Hm, feeling sad for you aswell but since you can compensate ur losses with cashgame everything should be fine! Wish you the best of luck for the last qualifier!

[webtricks]

It was tough one, really really close competition. I think most of us are prepared to sit in 'World Poker Championship', we have raised our bar to that level!

I needed to win this one and the next to make to the championship. Hence, I made my custom strategy to approach today's tourney. It was kinda balance strategy, not very defensive, not very attacking. Mild raises before flops, rapid raising after flops, mostly folds and most importantly dragging other player to the show-down in case of 1v1 situation by predicting if he got a weak hand. Today's strategy was the combination of these all moves and I named it, 'Webendo Strategy', lol. It worked out quite well until I lost good 15K chips against Obaming when I failed to predict that he's holding 'Jack'. Really foolish on my end. Ended at 4th spot with 7 points. Now at max. can reach 26 points which won't be enough to make to the championship IMO. Let see what happens.

But the good thing is Barcelona's game is on Saturday, not Sunday so I will be fully-focused in the next one. Will give another try to 'WebEndo', let see if it can give me 10 points next weekend!


PS: Kudos to Jayce aka. NoobHere. You have really stepped up your game bro! You are no longer Noob, let me tell you that. Your approach to game is now very much like FOMA or even better if I tell you. Although, you won two lucky all-in hands against me but still I really liked your style of play today. I hope you win this one and also perform good in Championship. Good Luck buddy.


PPS: Globb0 you are great man, you really rocks! That stream was real fun! I think we had a great time there as well. The stream has raised the poker's entertainment level to infinitely higher level!

[seek3r]

Damn jayce, you took my 3rd place overall now with that victory! Congrats on your win, strong performance two weeks in a row.

Was watching the stream of Globb0 for the last 1 1/2 hours. Great show again, thanaks again to you Globb0! Very entertaining as usual, keep up ur streaming business! Love it.

[arallmuus]

It was a great game from you , you had those big stack of chips for a while and I thought you will end up atleast top 2 but it seems the others were quite lucky with all those all in

Now at max. can reach 26 points which won't be enough to make to the championship IMO. Let see what happens.

If you play as good as today for next week, Im pretty sure you can get those top spot. You could have folded few hands but instead you choose to go all in but still it was a great game today

Yeah, he is very good right now and he has been 'training' secretly behind our backs . He told me that he won alot of prizes from various swc tournaments so far including all those 1k tickets , finishing top spot twice in a row for the saturday 30k guaranteed game on swc .


Im curious to see how the leaderboard turns out to be, it seems that there are alot of new rising star in this series. I hope I still get 1 slot for the Grand Finale though  

[morvillz7z]

gg everyone and congrats jayce!

I was the first to exit today, lost back to back flopped top two pairs vs webtricks flush and imaginethat's set.
Kinda felt 27pts were enough for me to make the grand finale, wanted to be a bit more aggressive with good hands, didn't work out.
Not having the leaderboard at hand i think there are only two spots available, maybe three.
I would miss the finale if imaginethat wins next week, mollok finishes top3 and SteamTyme gets 5-6pts, it could happen...but let's see hmm 

[Betwrong]

~ PPS: Globb0 you are great man, you really rocks! That stream was real fun! I think we had a great time there as well. The stream has raised the poker's entertainment level to infinitely higher level!

I couldn't agree more! As someone who watches WSOP, WPT and stuff like that regularly, I think it is safe to say that Globb0's comments are on the same level(and even better sometimes) than of those anchor guys. The live stream, and also the opportunity to rewatch it later, definitely brings more fun to the game.

To be honest, I found it hard, at first, to follow the game on two tables, engage in commenting on twitch, and play at the same time, so I switched Globb0's stream off, after some time, to watch it later. But, in fact, I kept going back to it all the time , and eventually I left it on the background(and of course, I'm going to rewatch the final table later today.)

Globb0, thanks for what you are doing, mate! I know you are sacrificing focusing on your own game to make it more fun for us all. Thanks for that, man.

P.S. Maybe it's not that important, but since I'm happy to be of any help, I'll bring it up to your attention, I guess.

Since it's a live stream, I'm worried about someone taking advantage of knowing your high card here:




GG, everyone!

Congrats on your win, @jayce!  Great play!

[Globb0]

Aha I made a school boy error.  


And I blurted my card on the stream a few times. lol

It to be expected its OK.

I kind of like getting out so I can concentrate on the commentary  


Today I am playing in pokerstars scholar series



PS any tips are welcome to help me keep the stream going but not begging anyone OK.

Hehe I had a great luck recently, but in otherwise getting so many loses on sportsbook lol. Thanks mate! Much appreciated )

Thank you for your kind words, mate! I appreciate it a lot But it was a pure luck, FOMA is far above me if it's about poker skill. I was bit hopeless on our first all-in battle and prepared to leave the table, but my luck saved me lol. Hope you perform well too in the remaining tourneys and the finale webtricks!

Yeah, he is very good right now and he has been 'training' secretly behind our backs . He told me that he won alot of prizes from various swc tournaments so far including all those 1k tickets , finishing top spot twice in a row for the saturday 30k guaranteed game on swc .

Haha I need to train harder to match you guys. I have to say that our tourney is the hardest among all of swc tourneys I have participated.

[arallmuus]

-sniped-

Damn if you called my raise that easy I would just went all-in lol

You had smaller stack than me and you were in desperate needs of points. I check on the river because I have that small doubt that you might have a K but its probably because you decided not to all in would be the reason for me to call because I thought that you had pocket pair and made a Full house.

If you all in on the river, I would have fold that card because you probably would have guessed that I could have a K or Ace so actually by betting 1200 chips, you managed to lure me into thinking that you only have a pocket pair and I might still have the better hands. Well done indeed  

[Steamtyme]

Stats are updated. There is definitely a tight race for the last few spots in the final. I'll have to set an alarm coming off nightshift, might just play from bed lol. Gotta try and keep in the top 9, got lucky this week that I still had some chips by the time I got to the tables. Lasted all of 1 hand being dealt JJ, would have been a great late game double as it looks like I just showed up and shoved/called, deservedly so I ran into an AA shove. So my prediction of getting there and shoving into the nuts was, pretty close.

See you guys next week. I'm at work, so no image yet, but if no one else grabs one I'll post tonight.

[arallmuus]

See you guys next week. I'm at work, so no image yet, but if no one else grabs one I'll post tonight.

Got your back , no worry. Betwrong should be on #6 and Pitkins should be #7

This is probably the tightest series ever from 3 previous series. I did some small rundown and it seems that #1-6 spot has been secured and only 3 spots left ( not sure if this is correct ). Anyone with 15 or 16 points still have some small chance to get the spot if only Steamtyme, Bitmutiny and Kolloh fail to get any point to secure their position

Pitkins should get atleast 2 points to secure his spot as well  

[efialtis]

I am not going to play the last one but gl to Hhampuz, 1r0n1c & webtricks - not because I don't like the rest, haha but more because I like upsets.

[iv4n]

Ok just kidding, looks like I am not playing today aswell because I am drunk. Wouldn’t make sense to play seriously.. so I might miss this one.

Damn, if I used that excuse I would have missed half of our tournaments so far and not just one I actually like playing with a bit of buzz.

Should I join this conversation?

I really wanted to lose that hand and to keep you in the tournament! When saw you are all in I said to myself if all others fold, I will call with A5! My place for the final table is secured, so I played relaxed, and of course I made some stupid mistakes!

Next tournament I will try to play for the first place!

No need to "apologize" and I really mean that. Stating you called with a hand one shouldn't call in the respective situation (according to poker theory for what it's worth...) in order to lose... oh c'mon mate... ^^ Let me quote you "It's poker" - no, it was you making a call - and you end up winning. And that's fine. ^

Personally, I am simply tired of poker after the last few games. I am fully aware I am far from being a good player - super far to be exact! But the fact that I can't control shit in such tournaments, losing numerous hands I wouldn't lose in the long run (statistically) and as a result, being kicked out - yeah, pisses me off atm, I am honest. That's the reason I stopped playing poker tournaments years ago and if I played poker, always went for cash games.

[Steamtyme]

Thank you, yeah I did that with a few people as I was moving places, forgot to fix that one. Will update later.

I hear yah man. I have had some very unfortunate runouts the past few months. This weekend I took a fairly big swing at the SWC series, and started screen capping some doozies, given the amount of them and their frequencies. I wasn't sure if I'd post them or if they were just going to be my own hall of misery, but you've inspired me. Misery loves company and maybe I can brighten your day with them. One features our buddy Kolloh(Mollok), he was very nice about it.

Granted I probably should have stopped firing bullets in 2 of the events, but when you lose to a suckout real early on, sometimes you just flick it in there.

[DarkDays]

A new week, a new start and a chance for more players to gain more Krill. Just check out last week's leader board.

People were getting crazy prizes, and last week the highest stands at 10,000 chips. Not bad.

Do you think with the slight market recovery that this week's winners will get more lucky?

Globb0

Well, I was hesitating about suggesting anything, because I can imagine how hard it can be to run a stream(it is more right to say "I can't imagine", cos I myself never did a stream), but since you're asking ...

I watched the last table, with my wife, as always, yesterday, and, in our opinion, it would be better if you didn't show another table(where we don't know anybody except you. Was it pokerstars?), and provided the whole screen for BTCTalk Poker Series. And, of course, we want to see you, and hear your commenting!

Regarding commenting, please talk more. Say anything you want. You've got a nice voice, like one of those in Guy Ritchie films. We want to hear it more!

[Globb0]

yes sorry that was an exception.

The other game was a high stakes $1M prize game so it was a special occasion for me.



But I didn't want to let down the BTC guys by not covering the game. They have been good friends.


So I tried to fit in both. 

[1r0n1c]

I am not going to play the last one but gl to Hhampuz, 1r0n1c & webtricks - not because I don't like the rest, haha but more because I like upsets.

I guess I will miss out too. Even when I achieve the 1st place it´s probably not enough. I have sucked too many games in this series.
Luckily I don´t have 500 krills to chat, I was really on fire last Sunday.
I lost almost all of my chips to webtricks, I ran with my KK into his AA. Ok it happens, but that´s so typical for me. Once I get a strong hand, at
least 1 guy is better…
And webtricks, how can you call later my all in when you just had 4-6 outs?! really don´t get it but of course you got your out... you were fucking lucky last Sunday

Last Sunday I played every hand wisely and following my strategy except three hands. Frankly speaking, I don't remember which hand are you talking about but 4-6 was surely not among those three emotionally driven hands. So if I went all-in with 4-6 as you say, there must be some thinking behind that.

Now as you said, I am also curious to review that hand. Does anybody know how can I 'Replay' hands of finished tournament? I tried search option on SwC but it isn't showing old tourneys.

Unless you selected the option to save your hand history I don't think you can review specific hands. You can find old tournament results though in the "game" tab under "hand history". "Hand History Options"
is where you choose to save hand histories.

They're referring to your outs, not the hand 46. Not sure what the hand was in particular but if they screenshotted it we can discuss the hand for fun.

i keep planning to play every sunday but then my weekend goes haywire. fingers crossed, i'll be playing next sunday---not that i have a chance of getting into the final or anything.

As promised a few screencaps. Nowhere near all of them, as I didn't start grabbing them from the get go. Some gems here though non the less.

     

     

lol, so many sets to run into. brutal! i know how that goes. SwC is really jacking up the action huh?!

[famososMuertos]

Well it seems that places 8 and 9 are not alone in the indecision of finally awarding names for the final table.

In the pic; iv4n temporarily cedes the lead to Obaming.
The big move is made by NoobHere which causes two important moves, it moves from third place to 5 str8flu5h and the previous owner of that position is moved 2 place, Pitkins (7)

Tik TokLyfe maintains the place and stands in the FT. Another player who did not bother anyone with his work in terms of positions was Betwrong, he maintains his position 6 and moves him away from the hot positions 8 and 9.

Steamtyme does not like the frontier and decides to move away from the beloved place 9 but fearsome place when he is not assured of a place at the final table.

Welcome imaginethat to the FT...

Edit in the text.
Betwrong takes place 6 ^{(Gif: seat 7)}

First off, I want to thank you for taking the time to make this wonderful presentation! Only I think  it requires a small correction: Betwrong takes the 6th position with 29 points, and Pitkins takes 7th with 27.



I've run through various possible scenarios, and came to conclusion that finally I can play without worrying about points. In the worst case scenario during the Q8, I can go down to 9th place, but not further down than that. I hope I'm not wrong.

[seek3r]

Wow that field of participants is very close to each other. Thought I would have a good spot but I lost 2 places because I did not play. Looks like its getting serious in the last qualifier - even if I'm safe but a lot of guys still have the chance to join the finals!

Yes , you booked your slot on the Grand Finale

On worst case scenario even if either bitmutiny / kolloh ended up taking the 1st place and 2nd place , their max points would be 29 and 28

On worst case scenario for you it would looks like this

#7 bitmutiny/kolloh/betwrong 29 points
#8 bitmutiny/kolloh 28 points
#9 Steamtyme/pitkins

Pitkins has the highest chance to get the remaining slot for the Grand Finale, he just need 2 more points to secure his slot.

Others with 15 or 16 points has small chances to get the slot, they will need to get the highest possible points provided that Steamtyme, Kolloh and Bitmutiny fail to get points

Series #4 Finals are live

Hey guys,

I just got word from SwC and please take a look at the image below - the Grand Finale is live, I only need to send them names for registration - maybe that helps for some added motivation on Sunday?

Another good news: There will also be a Runners-Up Finale for all the losers like me! (Or simply the guys having been less lucky?!)

Arg I wont be able to cover the final as Im not in it? how will I access the rooms?

I suppose I would have to miss the runners up game if we can manage to make it work (do I need the password?). No problem.

You can spectate the final without password, you just click on tournament and then on tables and you will be able to see action and even chat.

But I want you to play runners up game and comment on it as well. It will not be the same without you 

I did not manage to make SwC work in two separate browsers at the same time. That would be very useful to me so if somebody knows a hack...

[Globb0]

Lets see how many tables there are then.

I will see if we can work it out.

At least as the table numbers reduce we will be able to multi table the later stages simultaneously.

I will get my stuff in order this week, there are no other distracting games.

Also I will be live 30 mins before so we can play a bit of marbles and see who is the BTCTalk series marbles champion.

Big pride at stake, you need to join the stream and follow the channel. Then you can type "!Join" in the channel to add your marble to each race.


Please join us.

Has Noobhere and TikTokLyfe always run so tight  They are both in joint position number 3 and I wonder which one of them will come on top this Sunday?

Either way, it will be a close one for these two as well as for str8flu5h who's running close up to these two.
Can't wait to see how many laughs and crazy talks there will be on this Sunday, the Grand finale 
Some serious poker session about to take place.

[famososMuertos]

Yeah, we already have official date and time #331

The transmissions in twich are confirmed #333
https://www.twitch.tv/globb0

Poker is constancy and the winners of the three previous seasons seem
that all three repeat, at least two have it insured.

So in the final stretch, let's remember the previous winners.

Can I use some of these graphics on the stream please?

Warming up for Sunday:

Glad to see SwC didn't wait the last moment like in some previous seasons. I am working, but I will take a day off for this special event!

Alrighty, well I'm registered and have an alarm set. Now to try and get to sleep. See everyone at the tables in a few hours, should be a good final qualifier. Real close race on the final 2 spots for sure. I'll have the spreadsheet updated and the chip allocations fixed up tonight when I'm back at work after the game.

Good luck for you tonight.. Looks like a tough game for you and I hope that you collect enough points to move up or stay atleast at your current rank.
But remember, you should play tighter as usual to get atleast at the final table but dont make the mistake and be to nitty.

I will play tonight aswell after I missed the tournament last week. Already hyped and I expect a very interesting game tonight.

[arallmuus]

Has Noobhere and TikTokLyfe always run so tight   They are both in joint position number 3

It was a coincidence that we both ended up with the same points but He is a much better player than me in this 4th series  

Real close race on the final 2 spots for sure.

3 final spots because Pitkins hasnt secure his spot for the Grand Finale yet. If he doesnt finish in top ten then probably another one will take his spot for the Grand Finale so goodluck

stay atleast at your current rank.

Another player might move pass his position if he doesnt get any points so it would be better to secure the highest point as possible however this is the last game before the Grand Finale so anyone that try to make a silly move might pay for the price. Some crazy bluff might not work because most will be trying to get those premium hands before moving in ( lot of tight ranges tonight for sure )


Im still deciding wether to play or not in this last game but goodluck to everyone that will play tonight

You are very welcome. I was wondering if you might like to get a bit involved in the channel?

Im using Gifs at the moment for my moving backgrounds.

Be fun to get a few custom things going on. Did you see my bull and bears gif? I made that one from a clip of the traditional bullrun.

Ill be there tonight, anyone who decides not to play join us in the stream   

We will have fun and a chat while we find out the final positions.

Good luck.

Cant wait for your stream tonight.   Lets run some marbles again before we are playing?
I am still hoping that you will last longer for this qualifier as the ones before and gain some points.

[webtricks]

Alrighty, well I'm registered and have an alarm set. Now to try and get to sleep. See everyone at the tables in a few hours, should be a good final qualifier. Real close race on the final 2 spots for sure. I'll have the spreadsheet updated and the chip allocations fixed up tonight when I'm back at work after the game.

I just ran by numbers and found that I still got a chance to make to the championship! First 6 players have already made to the finals. 7th is almost confirmed as well. That leaves seven players contesting for the last 2 spots. Efialtis and 1r0n1c stated earlier that they won't be playing the upcoming qualifier which leaves only 4 players fighting for the spot. Now considering that 15 players will play tonight's game, here is my chances to make to the finals:

Probability of winning the qualifier = 6.67%. If won, probability of making to the championship = 55.621%. Net Probability = 3.70%
Probability of coming second in the qualifier = 6.67%. If second, probability of making to the championship = 40.828%. Net Probability = 2.723%
Probability of coming third in the qualifier = 6.67%. If third, probability of making to the championship = 26.036%. Net Probability = 1.7365%

There is also a probability to make to the championship if I come 4th - 7th but chances are below 1% so I won't consider those.

Hence, the total probability of me making to the championship is 8.1635% (1 in 12 chance). Worth an effort in my opinion, what do you say guys?

PS any tips are welcome to help me keep the stream going but not begging anyone OK.

Hey Globb0,
Do you accept btc? I checked your channel last night but Twitch charges 40% commission on 'Bits', not worthy! Also, I don't wanna tip via PayPal due to privacy reasons. If possible, add your btc address on the channel.

I'll be forced to sit out tonight guys, best of luck to you all! (Still paid my fee so no worries on that).

This further increases by probability.  Jk aside, you will be missed.

And I am in, only 7 of us so far so it seems like an easy opportunity get some points now that it doesn't matter anymore for most of us
I don't mind, I am here and playing as a way to hang out with my forum mates and screw money/points.

@Globb0
Expecting more and more from you with each new episode. Today you have a last rehearsal and then I am counting on fireworks for the finals

[arallmuus]

-sniped

Even if you ended up not getting spot for the Grand Finale, it still worth good amount if you could get the 1st spot. You were running hot last week and were the chip leader for some time. Your mistake was that you were too intense and snap call most of the all in with wild hands thus giving the other chances to double up

If you could play as hot as last week but less intense ( which you should because everyone will be tight on their games and wait for premium hands ) then you had a shot to make it.

Also you get more raffle tickets if you make it to the higher spot so give it a go and Goodluck !

And I am in, only 7 of us so far so it seems like an easy opportunity get some points now that it doesn't matter anymore for most of us

Less player would be unfavourable for Webtricks because Steamtyme, Kolloh and Bitmutiny has higher points than him

[efialtis]

Hey fellas,

good luck to all of you tonight - may the force be with you!

I would have played even though on tilt but I am at my granny's and playing poker really isn't an option tonight.   

[Globb0]

Hey Globb0,
Do you accept btc? I checked your channel last night but Twitch charges 40% commission on 'Bits', not worthy! Also, I don't wanna tip via PayPal due to privacy reasons. If possible, add your btc address on the channel.

Sure I can do that, I actually know nothing about the bits and stuff but I suppose its a whoever wins they win type arrangement.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have added a BTC panel to the about page (address is 32mB5YJWHyo1EYX6FQqTg1FxPdJvRT9oVS)

I am just working on a couple of additions for the channel for tonight.    

Thanks for the support, you guys have really helped me make the transition from nothing to something.

So appreciated.


PS get your granny to follow me on Twitch       

[seek3r]

Damn, short poker night for me tonight!

Went preflop all-in in the BB after the open-raise from webtricks at UTG and lost with my QQ vs AA..
Good luck everyone.

[Steamtyme]

GG all. I had just enough luck to cling to 10th.
I now think Trofo hates me and doesn't want me in the final  , After turning their Flush they knocked me out and then proceeded to  pretty much double up the 2 players I need to finish out shortly after me. Mollok and Bitmutiny, moving them comfortably into the middle of the pack

Have fun all

It seems like you are gonna end 10th this time and me 11th. Good luck to the remaining players.

[arallmuus]

I now think Trofo hates me and doesn't want me in the final  ,

I think he hates everyone lol, he has been knocking everyone out so far. Globb0, webtricks, pitkins , Betwrong, Mollok, Bitmutiny, Me and you . Jayce is the only one left and the only player that managed to survive all those all in heads up against Trofo. Everyone lose against Trofo in all in showdown

I had pocket J and Trofo had pocket 4, turned out he had a straight. Can you even imagine that to happen? I was smiling when I know that he only had pocket 4 and this could be my chance to double up because I am in favor to win but yeah he is lucky

If this is a bounty knockout tournament, he would be getting alot of bounties so far for knocking everyone out. So far he had knocked out 9 people, 8 from the final table

Edit : Jayce down , Trofo knocked him out. Congratulations Trofo

Even if its sad that we lost Steamtyme Im happy for your result tonight.. When I look at the sheet compare the qualifiers from the past its atleast a small happy end for you.


And Globb0, thanks again for the entertaining show.. Still hoping that we will not loose you if there some SwC Bitcointalk Series in the future.

[figmentofmyass]

nice job taking down the last qualifier, @Trofo. great performance in this series by @jayce too, racking up those cashes.

i'm bummed that i missed yet another week with you guys. i was all geared up to play this weekend (was gonna play some sunday guarantees too and throw on @Globb0's stream in the background) but then another last minute work call came in. i've just now touched down ~1000 miles from home.

i hope SwC hooks us up with another series because i totally shit the bed on this one.

The "Oct 25,..." in the headline is intended to indicate the date of the final table, it can be understood as the date of the gifs, but it is not or was the objective, I hope you understand this clarification, ty.

No worries, I watched for a bit and had to shut it off, watching you bet fold to just those two lol. I went from elated hoping you were knocking either of them out to accepting of my fate. That flush run out hurt but that's just cards, i was just glad to be ahead pre.

i've just now touched down ~1000 miles from home.

i hope SwC hooks us up with another series because i totally shit the bed on this one.

A man in demand. Nothing wrong with that but it will be nice having you back at the tables. On a bright note they did re-open their main thread, I dropped a thanks for the series so we'll see what happens. here's to hoping for the next one.

I updated the standings so the final table is set, though I'm sure most already know who's in. Just need efialitis to update the final chips received from everyone then prizes and lottery can be finalized.

[Trofo]

@famososMuertos

I just realized that I have single handedly kicked out all the players from your gifs. Has it ever happened? Just shows what a night I had. Biggest luck for sure in that hand when I had 44 and got straight.

This sunday will be fun, hopefully I'm sunrunning like Trofo yesterday. Just watch the bustout gifs from last night!

[Steamtyme]

@SteamTyme I have updated the sheet - thank you very much for your help.

No worries glad to help when I could. I did realize though that I F'd up the lovely formatting that would have auto populated the prizes and what not but i will just drop the info here and everyone can comb over it and cross reference the sheet to see if I f'd up.

We have 121 entries that paid and played - 121*400 = 48,400
Add in the 11 donations                           -   11*400 =  4,400

Total being                                               48,400+4,400= 52,800

Divide that up by 2 and you have    -    26,400 for the lottery, and 26,400 Added to the Finale prizepool. If I remember correctly.  Meaning there will be 3 prizes available for the Lottery @ 8,800 Chips a piece.
   

Good luck all, and "May the odds be ever in your favor"

Mate, you were unstoppable yesterday. I've played all the games in our series, and I don't remember something like this ever happened. Great performance, and well deserved victory in the end. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart! 

Overall, I have an impression that it was the most action packed tournament in all our series so far.

GG, everyone! GG, indeed!

[1r0n1c]

wow Trofo, good Job yesterday, that was very impressive!!

@ efialitis: I can´t remember that we had a runners-up finale in the past, is it the first one?
The 10k chips are sponsored by SwC?

I sucked this series so hard, but I´m very happy to be able to play that "losers" tournament next Sunday
Thanks again to everyone who is involved in the organisation, especially to you efialtis!!!

Do you already know when series #5 is going to start? It literally became something like a traditional habit to my Sunday evenings.
I love you all guys  <3

Thank you mate, the stars really aligned themselves for me yesterday.

We had runners up finale in 1st, 3rd and 4th (this) series. In first series it was played on different day and in this last two series it is played at the same time as finale. Only second series was without runners up tournament.

[tyKiwanuka]

The rankings after 8/8 tournaments. Gratz to everyone who made it into the Grand Final



For this series, we have two special awards given out by a jury that consists of just me:

Most Improved Player

This award goes to jayce/NoobHere You really had great results this series and this is no fluke as the results especially in the last 3 tourneys show. You also won your first tournament ever and jumped quite some places in the Money Finishes list. Well done

Most Valuable Player

This award goes to efialtis/youcantwin Without you, this series wouldn't be possible, but this is not the only reason you get this award. You get it, because you add so much fun to this series with your big mouth....Grand Final missed again, although you were a lock for this right from the start. I think without a wildcard you will never get there


I have also updated the stat sheets, where everyone can have a look, if interested. We still have two players (morvillz7z & Betwrong), who never missed a tournament, thats stamina and dedication Betwrong now has a little cushion on Obaming in point finishes, who himself is leading the pack in money finishes. Murat still has the best average finishing position and I doubt any of the regular players can take his place in the future, unless he decides to join a tournament again in the future

I have slightly different numbers for the lottery (or the updated sheet has).

123 entries and 12 donations (you missed the one from @Hhampuz yesterday), which leads to these numbers:



1670 tickets were given out in total (440 via points, 1230 via just entering tournaments), and these are the numbers for all the players:

Improved: #0001 - #0114
Iv4n: #0115 - #0236
jayce:  #0237 - #0358
arallmuus: #0359 - #0476
Betwrong: #0477 - #0592
seek3r: #0593 - #0694
morvillz7z: #0695 - #0803
bitmutiny: #0804 - #0880
kolloh: #0881 - #0975
SteamTyme: #0976 - #1068
webtricks: #1069 - #1168
efialtis: #1169 - #1244
Hhampuz: #1245 - #1330
1r0n1c: #1331 - #1415
Globb0: #1416 - #1508
famososMuertos: #1509 - #1559
Trofo: #1560 - 1639
figmentofmyass: #1640 - #1650
yahoo62278: #1651 - #1670

Please everyone check your numbers and see if everything is correct.

If @Hhampuz is ok with handing the draw over and everyone else has nothing against it, I thought it would be cool, if @Globb0 could do the lottery draw live in his stream, maybe shortly before the Grand Final next Sunday. Only of course, if you are fine with taking this huge responsibility as well Globb0


Good luck to all players for the Finals and see you maybe for a 5th series in the future

[Hhampuz]

That'd be great! If Globb0 wants to do it I'm happy with it and will for sure tune in

[jayce]

I think he hates everyone lol, he has been knocking everyone out so far. Globb0, webtricks, pitkins , Betwrong, Mollok, Bitmutiny, Me and you . Jayce is the only one left and the only player that managed to survive all those all in heads up against Trofo. Everyone lose against Trofo in all in showdown

I had pocket J and Trofo had pocket 4, turned out he had a straight. Can you even imagine that to happen? I was smiling when I know that he only had pocket 4 and this could be my chance to double up because I am in favor to win but yeah he is lucky

If this is a bounty knockout tournament, he would be getting alot of bounties so far for knocking everyone out. So far he had knocked out 9 people, 8 from the final table

Edit : Jayce down , Trofo knocked him out. Congratulations Trofo

Yeah that moment between you and Trofo was the most shocking one in the game. Congrats Trofo, you was a beast yesterday lol.

nice job taking down the last qualifier, @Trofo. great performance in this series by @jayce too, racking up those cashes.

i'm bummed that i missed yet another week with you guys. i was all geared up to play this weekend (was gonna play some sunday guarantees too and throw on @Globb0's stream in the background) but then another last minute work call came in. i've just now touched down ~1000 miles from home.

i hope SwC hooks us up with another series because i totally shit the bed on this one.

Thanks foma! I have a great luck in this series Yeah I hope there will be a next series and see you and tyK on the table again.

For this series, we have two special awards given out by a jury that consists of just me:

Most Improved Player

This award goes to jayce/NoobHere You really had great results this series and this is no fluke as the results especially in the last 3 tourneys show. You also won your first tournament ever and jumped quite some places in the Money Finishes list. Well done

Most Valuable Player

This award goes to efialtis/youcantwin Without you, this series wouldn't be possible, but this is not the only reason you get this award. You get it, because you add so much fun to this series with your big mouth....Grand Final missed again, although you were a lock for this right from the start. I think without a wildcard you will never get there

Thanks tyK! Hope to see you and foma back in next series ) Tbh I'm trying to follow your playing style mixed with Webendo by webtricks lol as we were often playing on same table in the previous series. And of course your trivia is always interesting to read. So you deserve Most Intelligent Player

[iv4n]

Awesome! This will be a great intro for the final and runners-up game!

Congrats man! You had a good run in this series, I wish you luck in the final game!
I agree that tyK deserves a special award, and that can easily be Most Intelligent Player!

Good luck to all players for the Finals and see you maybe for a 5th series in the future

Good luck to you too! I really hope we will have 5th series!!!

[Globb0]

Yes I will be up for that (with a bit of help as to the how)

Also I think why not start the stream a bit earlier maybe 1 hour before the 2 finals.

We can play some marbles, draw the lottery and run through some stats and graphics and things from Famosos Muertos

Will be awesome.

Ill be working on some more special content as usual to keep it fresh and fun.


Good luck everyone (who stole my finals place!)



*edit* PS I hope you got your gran signed up to my twitch Efialtis    *

*edit edit* I commit there will be another series and or some other single games

[tyKiwanuka]

Yes I will be up for that (with a bit of help as to the how)

Cool

Hhampuz was using random.org for series 3 and you might want to use that one too. Just put min 1 and max 1670 and start to generate:


Source: https://www.random.org/

In this example seek3r would have won (congratulations ) and all his other tickets are voided afterwards (#0593 - #0694). So if you generate f.e. 611 next, you check the ticket numbers list and would have to generate a new number for 2nd prize, until a non-void number shows up. You need 3 non-void numbers in total as there are 3 prizes.

[Globb0]

OK then thanks for that instructions.

I will propose to draw the lottery 30 mins before the start of the big games. OK?

[kolloh]

Good idea, watching the drawing on stream will be more exciting!

[efialtis]

Finalists have been registered:

wow Trofo, good Job yesterday, that was very impressive!!

@ efialitis: I can´t remember that we had a runners-up finale in the past, is it the first one?
The 10k chips are sponsored by SwC?

I sucked this series so hard, but I´m very happy to be able to play that "losers" tournament next Sunday
Thanks again to everyone who is involved in the organisation, especially to you efialtis!!!

Do you already know when series #5 is going to start? It literally became something like a traditional habit to my Sunday evenings.
I love you all guys  <3

I think except for one time, we have always had a runners-up finale and yes, the 10k chips are generously sponsored by SwC.

Regarding #5 --> I will post updates in our general poker discussion thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5217547.0 (whose OP still needs to be edited/updated, LOL)

[tyKiwanuka]

I will propose to draw the lottery 30 mins before the start of the big games. OK?

Yes, sure, though I am not involved, so don't really have a say. But if you see no one opposing this idea, just do it at that time, I will watch


Here are the prizes I calculated on top of the BIG BTC ticket, hope this is correct.

The Chips Prizes for Grand Final

Place	Sponsored by SwC	From Chips Pool
______	___________________	___________________
1	25,000	13,500
2	15,000	8,100
3	10,000	5,400

The prizes for small final will be 5,000/3,000/2,000 for the Top3 as always.

When everything is said and done (and sent^^) 237,000 chips were paid out in total in this series.

Series 1: 310,000
Series 2: 224,000
Series 3: 257,600

15.38 players joined the tournaments on average in this series. We "lost" four regular players (figmentofmyass, SyGambler, BitcoinGirlClub, myself) from the series before and two new (seek3r, famososMuertos) joined for this series. I might give my comeback for a possible 5th series and figment too I guess. That would make it around ~19 regular players, which is a good number to get two tables full every Sunday.

I am not really sure if I would want you to join us - betrayal, bad manners towards me... Tough call...

[jayce]

Congrats man! You had a good run in this series, I wish you luck in the final game!
I agree that tyK deserves a special award, and that can easily be Most Intelligent Player!

Good luck for you too mate and everyone Would love to watch the lottery drawing from globb0 as well

[figmentofmyass]

tbh, i'd rather donate the 0.0028 BTC i overpaid in fees to a one off or monthly forum game like Globb0 wants to organize:

Im also thinking of running a bigger 1 off free roll or low stakes forum game, perhaps monthly?

I also had a mind about a few prizes but that is the type of tbc stuff.

Might depend if people are prepared to chip in for or donate prizes.

given the value SwC is adding to the series championship, i think it'll go further there. hopefully none of the finalists mind!

[bitmutiny]

Yay I made it!

[famososMuertos]

This is a summary of each Q and the points that were accumulated after each qualifier (Q).

A simple "congratulations" may summarize it all, but I wanted to extend it with this express summary of the history of this season 4, before Sunday, October 25, day of the grand finale.

It's good to have found a little poker window in the crypto world here in the forum, however, when you like poker beyond a prize money or a first place, you know that an online game between A group of people with whom you can share any kind of comment after that game, it humanizes the game a bit and I think that makes this series special.

That I have not earned anything but I wanted to say these words 



Trofo Not only did you kill 8 players (the answer was late but it is worth the feat to comment again) but in reality the difficult thing to repeat, at least for now in the Bicointalk Poker series, is that in just two plays you got half. There is a saying in poker that from time to time we get God mode, well now there is the Trofo mode 

G.B+

[Betwrong]

~
Please everyone check your numbers and see if everything is correct.

I just checked all of them.




Everything is correct. Meditation on numbers is a great psychotherapy - you really can't think of anything else.

OK then thanks for that instructions.

I will propose to draw the lottery 30 mins before the start of the big games. OK?

It's perfect, mate!

Although there is a scientific consensus that your winning in a lottery doesn't affect your luck in a poker game 30 mins later, we gamblers secretly believe, somewhere deep down in our hearts, that if we lose one thing, we are gonna be luckier in the next one. So for us it's a win-win situation: we either win in the lottery, or going to have more luck in the finals. 

[famososMuertos]

We are 4 days away! 

UpDate: Ty, @webtricks. @Globb0, 10000x (x=sorry)

The final will be held on Sunday, October 25, with transmission of the lottery draw, prior to the final table. Connect to the transmission.

[webtricks]

We are 4 days away! 

Nice work like always mate! However, correct twitch channel name is: Globb0


@Globb0 do tell me the key to accelerate my marble in advance this time, it's painful coming last. I thought it was a simulation game, never knew player can control his marble.

[seek3r]

@Globb0 do tell me the key to accelerate my marble in advance this time, it's painful coming last. I thought it was a simulation game, never knew player can control his marble.

Wait what, you can control your marble? I dont even know that aswell haha.. its a nice warmup for his poker streams btw.
Already excited for this sunday, especially with the live roll for the lottery with the one and only Globb0.

In the last series I won first place in lottery and first place in runners-up tournament!

Amazing as always Globb0!
_______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________

So does anyone have a favorite for Sunday final game? I am looking at rankings and I don't know what to think...
Strong players, with amazing performance in this series! From "Most Improved Player" Jayce, to improved who is killing in this series, first place shows that... Seek3er a new name and amazing performance in his first series!
Kolloh, bitmutiny, morvillz7z, betwrong, arallmuus and me in the end!
What you think guys, should we make some side bets for the final game?

[Globb0]

You guys are awesome.

I will make a post soon with a schedule and so on.

The gist of it will be go live 1 hour early.

Some fun, some competitions draw the lottery and a preamble to the games, hope I can use some of the awesome graphics too.

Shame the series is over so soon is the general feeling Im getting from people.



PS I have a $109 ticket for this weekend too. so may do a big Friday or Saturday stream of that, still need the money. what time do all the pros go to sleep? I need to just meet old grannies

In the last series I won first place in lottery and first place in runners-up tournament!

With all due respect, mate, the first place in lottery is the same the 3-rd place, isn't it? So, you slightly exaggerated your achievements.

That would definitely add more fun to the game, but I personally would rather refrain from this betting. I find it a bit presumptuous to bet on myself, and, on the other hand, I don't want to bet on anyone else!  

But, again, if this were organized like real sports betting, with odds and all that stuff, and some people were really betting on some of us, it would be tons of fun, imo.

[efialtis]

Question: Did I send everyone the Runners-Up password? If you don't have it, please pm me and I will share.

This caused some discussion in series #3 but I think it would really only be fair to reserve the Runners-Up game for players who didn't make the Grand Finale.

[arallmuus]

Yes, everyone that makes it to the Grand Finale shouldnt be given a chance on the runner up final

I find it a bit presumptuous to bet on myself, and, on the other hand, I don't want to bet on anyone else! 

I would want to bet on myself but then I realized Im not that good if Im comparing myself with the others  . This is the 3rd time that I make it to the Grand Finale and I want to win it so bad . Looking back, I was playing like a dumb donkey so far on the previous two Grand Finale and Im planning to go deep on this one

PS I have a $109 ticket for this weekend too. so may do a big Friday or Saturday stream of that, still need the money. what time do all the pros go to sleep? I need to just meet old grannies 

Grannies of pokerstars might be really unpredictable and shove with 35 suited then ended up getting two pairs against your pocket pair lol

shout my name and give me some of your luck when you do the lottery roll. It would be nice to win one of the lottery prize !

[Trofo]

I agree, runners up final should be a casual game between friends with lots of inappropriate low hits flying all over the chat. Let serious players have their grand final and play tight game 

Please send me password for runners up. I will remind you on PM if I don't get it before Sunday.

I have just sent out the password via PM to everyone who qualified - I mean the really best players and not those luckboxes qualifying for the Grand Final...

I can still smell your madness

This is fine for me aswell. Everyone who qualified for the Grand final should be happy about it and should take the focus on this tourney.
I kinda like the idea that we have two tourneys at the same time on sunday. Everyone can either focus or "gamble" on the tourney he/she is playing and rail for the other players at the other tournament together on the stream of Globb0 (twitch.tv/Globb0). Sounds like a lot of fun

[tyKiwanuka]

Edit: TyKi as our most intelligent player deserves a spot... he will suck anyways. Let me know if you like to play @tyKiwanuka

Thank you for the generous offer and the compliment, but I have to decline, since I don't want any VIP (very intelligent person) treatment If there was a "Suckers Final Table", I would maybe accept and play beat you heads up.


For Grand Final there are no odds, but I saw one market in an underground betting site for the small final:

[famososMuertos]

...3 days!

:....//...UpDate: Ty, @webtricks. @Globb0, 10000x (x=sorry)

Nothing justifies the error but the font helped, sorry GlobbO, by the way this click of this post was uploaded that same day, I checked it and I think it's fine, take it as a semi bluff. 

I have two strikes! 

___

[Globb0]

hah don't beat yourself up.

You are brilliant and this will be my "coming soon" screen before the broadcast.

I am still thinking through some ideas but tomorrow morning I should drop you a PM and see if we can achieve some of these fantasies.   

You're humble servant,

Globb0

[figmentofmyass]

But, again, if this were organized like real sports betting, with odds and all that stuff, and some people were really betting on some of us, it would be tons of fun, imo.

anyone offering odds for/against anyone? i'd be interested in making a couple mBTC worth of bets on a last longer or something.

Edit: TyKi as our most intelligent player deserves a spot... he will suck anyways. Let me know if you like to play @tyKiwanuka

i got the password---not sure if that was intentional. i only played 1 game this time! and i was hoping to donate the extra fees to the tourney @Globb0 is (hopefully) organizing.

I agree, runners up final should be a casual game between friends with lots of inappropriate low hits flying all over the chat. Let serious players have their grand final and play tight game 

i've always thought of the 10k as just a fun freeroll for the community, not some huge value thing that the finalists need to be deprived of. no biggie though.

[Steamtyme]

I received the password as well. Not sure what my day is like Sunday but if I'm around I'll pop into the fun final.

i got the password---not sure if that was intentional. i only played 1 game this time! and i was hoping to donate the extra fees to the tourney @Globb0 is (hopefully) organizing.

Personally. I thin kit's your donation and I don't see anything wrong with you pulling it. I say this whether or not you donate it towards the game Globb0 is talking about, or just wanted back your chips. I know that's not the case, I just don't like the idea of people feeling like they can't do as they wish with their "donated" chips.

I know no one has said otherwise, just wanted to make my point. Meant to post right after you mentioned it the first time.

its totally fine because it is stated on the rules and we havent even roll the winners of the lottery nor starting the Grand Finale yet. Foma just need to  request refund for the donated chips

If you paid extra fees upfront, but aren't able to participate in a tournament for whatever reason, the extra fee will be considered a donation, unless you request a refund. You won't get any tickets for the lottery, if you don't participate in a tournament, even if you donate the extra fee.

Any dispute should get resolved via majority decision.

Besides that, its not really a big deal considering that the prizepool for both the lottery and Grand Finale is already big enough. Less prizes for the lottery and Grand Finale prizepool wont hurt anyone  


@Foma : Im totally cool with both you and Tyki playing on the Small Final, both of you guys are part of this weekend game although you guys might be having your own reason for not joining the fun this series. Best of luck to both of you in the Small Final

[Globb0]

Introducing Sunday, the big event.

Please join us for fun and the finals of the BitcoinTalk Championship 4 grand and small finals.

@Globb0 cool

@iv4n
So does anyone have a favorite for Sunday final game?

Well I'm just going to mention the Top* 3  


Only a few hours left:
Lottery. Grand finale. Small finale.


Eye! this player comes in "fire,"

[famososMuertos]

The day has come, it's nice not only to be waiting to know how things will turn out in the Grand Final, but also that extra opportunity for another game in the series, the Runner up.

Already at Bitcointalk Runners-Up Finale , you know to avoid the red carpet, journalists those things.

https://play.swcpoker.eu/?tournamentId=58532636
4h:00 min. Time till start

[tyKiwanuka]

I hope that everyone is aware that both finals start one hour earlier today for those who switched back to standard time last night

And I hope you also consider that @Globb0 and start your stream in ~30min. Good luck everyone on the tables and with the lottery.

I hope that everyone is aware that both finals start one hour earlier today for those who switched back to standard time last night

I totally forgot about that! What would we do without you tyK?

snip

You got me with these names that changes! I saw my name, then I saw some other names, I was like "What the hell is happening? Am I tripping or something?"!

Good luck people! As tyK said, with lottery and with games! I already said to my wife that I am "off" after we finished launch, I am at my seat waiting for game to begin!

Edit: Globb0 is definitely late! Is that animation or Globb0, tyK, Trofo, Seek9r and Web play some marble game?

[Trofo]

I hope that everyone is aware that both finals start one hour earlier today for those who switched back to standard time last night

And I hope you also consider that @Globb0 and start your stream in ~30min. Good luck everyone on the tables and with the lottery.

I just realized that on my own and then saw your post. Don't know why but I got hit with the case of stupid and though it will be an hour later not an hour earlier in the day. Suits me right for drinking so much yesterday but getting sort of to working state as the tournament start gets closer.

Just joined Gloob0 stream and can't wait for lottery to start the excitement for the evening. GL and see you all on the tables.

[Steamtyme]

Dammit, missed the fun one today. Was about to reg, then had to go put out some fires ... not literally. Such is life.
Have fun everyone, did I miss the lottery draw already?? I'll pop in and out of the stream today to catch up on the action, as brought to us by our devilishly good announcer Globb0

[Globb0]

Lottery Draw

1st Place = Hhampuz   Suck my chips

2nd Place = Yahoo62278 Shipdachips

3rd Place = Aarulmus TikTokLyfe

Congratulations to all the winners.

Evidence of the draw is in the stream as draw was live.


Thankyou for following the stream.

Yeah... missed it all, the draw, the games... whatever, good luck to all of you!

Congrats to our lottery winners!

[webtricks]

Only 4 players on Runners-Up table! That was easy game to win, thank you SwC for the reward of 0.01 BTC. Good game Trofo, famososMuertos and 1r0n1c. It was fun playing with you guys.

Champions table is getting intense with only Betwrong, iv4n, Jayce, arallmuus and mollok left. Although iv4n and Betwrong going strong so far, Jayce is playing his usual patience game (just like FOMA) and most probably will catch up top gears pretty soon. I am rooting for you once again bro, go and win this one like real pro.

And yes..Can't wait for the next one. Hope SwC will put up pretty soon. @Globb0 got 3-4 new players coming from his buddies' circle in the next one. I got confirmation from @icopress that he wants to join the next series as well. So that would be good 21-22 regular players in the next series, not bad!

And finally, Globb0, your stream is always fun to watch. Marbles, lottery draws, two final tables, we are having quite an eventful show going on stream.

[Steamtyme]

Only 4 players on Runners-Up table! It was easy game to win, thank you SwC for the reward of 0.01 BTC. Good game Trofo, famososMuertos and 1r0n1c. It was fun playing with you guys.

Yeah I was pissed I missed it, especially when I realized there were only 4 people playing. Ever since school fired up Sundays at noon is just a shit time for me. Either I'm at home, on the kids 2 days off, or I'm working so either in need of sleep or depending on my rotation and indisposed.

Glad to hear we are picking up a few other regulars maybe, always a good thing for the series overall.

Congrats on the win

What good game, I did not win a single hand against you When I bluffed, you called it and when I had something you had better hand.

Good to hear we are having some new players for the next series. Can't wait for it to start as well. It is time for me to up the game and start earning some points.

[arallmuus]

The series is finally over. Congratulations to everyone that joined this series, Globb0 that helps hype up this series with his live streaming and Special Thankyou for making this happen to Efialtis ( Our MVP for this bitcointalk Poker Series ) and our sponsor SWC Poker

It was an interesting Grand Finale, lots of stuff happened and Iv4n won the first place. I wasnt expecting a 3 way all in and Iv4n managed to scoop out huge pot which resulted to him having that big stack . That big stack really helps him abuse both me and Betwrong with that check raise every single time.

I was lucky to win the lottery and managed to get the 2nd spot in the Grand Finale and Im happy with that. I was hoping for the first place but Iv4n was luckier on the last shove, oh well he even managed to get another Quads this time  


I hope we all can play again in the next series because Im totally down for it !  

-sniped-

Confirmed that I received it and Thankyou for making this happen !

[iv4n]

congrats on taking it down, @iv4n. solid play as always!
...

Thanks man!

....

5 times you checked pre-flop, and after my raise you go all in! In the end that 7 9 in my hands was good enough for call, after your check and my raise (bankroll management, I would survive that loss)! Honestly I didn't believe you have some strong cards! Anyway good game man, I hope we will play many more finals!

...

Prizes received! Efi man, thanks for everything you do for all of us here!

...
I hope we all can play again in the next series because Im totally down for it !

Me too!

So, one hour and ten minutes ago I received a PM from figmentofmyass kindly asking me to send him back the fees he overpaid (0.0028 BTC) so he can donate it to a future game our lovely Globb0 will be running.

I had (provably) already sent out the prizes when I read the pm, answered that I saw one of his posts (where he writes "think/hope" but he never concretely made that request (not in his posts, not via PM) and as a result, got another PM (in my opinion absolutely inadequate), stating I should at least apologize for having overlooked/ignored his request (there was no request whatsoever) and I should not get weird. Also, if someone wants his money back and says or suggests that, I shouldn't donate it to others but be reasonable and checking with them.

The two posts he is referring to:

[seek3r]

First of all I want to thank you guys to have the opportunity to play in this series. It was a lot of fun, even though tonight did not go according to plan for me at all.
Congrats to all winners tonight!

Hope to see series #5 with all regulars and new faces
I don't know what else to do on sunday evening because it is already part of the regular schedule

I hope that he will reconsider his plans...

First thanks for the work throughout the series.

My only comment regarding the above though is this. I believe PM's should remain private. Misunderstanding and oversights can happen, bringing more people into the fray while an issue is fresh usually only makes it worse.
Side note in the poker series thread Yahoo has mentioned being able to set up a series on betnomi. That's all I know but he's doing an interest check - can't link I'm on phone

I have not published any PM and as per rules stated in OP, disputes shall get resolved via majority decision.

I am out of this discussion, won't comment any further on this and not manage any poker game in the future. If the majority feels the cash should be refunded, please arrange this, do the calculations and kindly ask the winners to send the cash back to foma. Thanks!

this is in poor taste. i told you i don't care about the money. i'm baffled why you took that as an invitation to start some petty public drama.

all i asked for was for you to acknowledge that maybe you made an oversight, because you told me you saw my posts about wanting the fees back and ignored them anyway. you could have just been like "sorry dude" (even if you didn't think you had any fault) and ended it there. it's not like i expected any money back at that point.

instead, you did this.

Do what you want but I am extremely pissed to be honest - and disappointed.

i have no idea wtf you are on about, why you ignored my PMs saying i don't care about or expect the money, and why you're now claiming i want to claw money back from the winners. that's insane, and it's sorta fucked up to suggest that's what i asked for.

what a ridiculous tantrum......

[tyKiwanuka]

Looks like some miscommunication, but tbh figment, your posts didn't indicate to me as well, that you are definitely requesting a refund. For me it sounded like you are just thinking about donating, but never stated clearly that you want those chips back - á la "please send the 2800 chips back to......". If it was clear, I would have recalculated the extra prizes for grand final and lottery beforehand for sure.

I think you have to agree, that these statements are not a 100% clear request to refund the chips:

(...)and i was hoping to donate the extra fees to the tourney @Globb0 is (hopefully) organizing.

tbh, i'd rather donate the 0.0028 BTC i overpaid in fees to a one off or monthly forum game like Globb0 wants to organize:

But anyway, lets not make a drama out of this. I feel kind of responsible for this series and the well-being of all participants , so if you PM me a BTC address, I will send you the 0.0028 BTC, you and efialtis shake hands and we can move on

[iv4n]

Respec tyK! As always your words strike right in the point! I don't wish to comment a little misunderstanding here, our games grown to my heart and I love all of you guys! We definitely have something good here!
_______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________

If money is the problem (but I am sure it's not) I am joining tyK and I will send the same amount! Half to Foma and half to Globb0 and his initiative to organize some games for all of us! I am at your disposal, whatever you decide to do I will follow!

[Betwrong]

It was a great game yesterday! Thanks to everyone for participating and playing really good poker!

It is so happened that I made a screenshot of iv4n's quads, so, even though you can  see it while rewatching Globb0's video, which I'm planning to do later today, I'll post it here, cos quads is something that always nice to see once more.



Congrats to Hhampuz, yahoo62278 and arallmuus for winning the Lottery!

Congrats to webtricks for winning the Small finale!

Congrats to arallmuus (again? how can you be so lucky?!) for taking the Silver prize in the Grand Finale!

Congrats to iv4n for winning the Series! (second time, man, wtf! )


Regarding the miscommunication, I can't read those posts closely, it hurts so much, because you guys, efialtis and FOMA, are equally great in my eyes. I mean, for me it's too much to bear, sorry.

I'm just going to follow iv4n regarding this matter.

I am at your disposal, whatever you decide to do I will follow!

Again, GG, everyone!

I hope to play with you again soon!

Cheers!

The only ridiculous person and behaviour in all this was/is you and I am asking you to watch your mouth and tone - I am not your friend, child, family or anything coming close to that. Show some respect - enough impoliteness.

[arallmuus]

I'll post it here, cos quads is something that always nice to see once more.

It was against me and I was hesitating to call his last bet. I had King of spade so I thought its either he had Ace of spade or some full house but Iv4n probably wouldnt play Q9 so I thought he must have pocket Q or either Ace of spade but the bet on the river was quite low if you compare it to the size of pot.

If he bet higher, I would have fold that hand so yeah he managed to lure me in with that small bet. This is the second time that I lose to Iv4n in showdown because he had Quads  

Congrats to arallmuus (again? how can you be so lucky?!) for taking the Silver prize in the Grand Finale!

I was probably lucky to win two all in flips with pocket pair against AK . I thought I was a goner when I saw AK after the shove . It was probably against seek3r and bitmutiny

I will send you the 0.0028 BTC, you and efialtis shake hands and we can move on

Please dont, you have done enough for us Tyk


Regarding this issue / dispute /miscommunication. Lets make this simple so we can all shake hands and move on. Im sure FOMA has no issue with the money but I sent him 2800 chips into his SWC account

it seems Both Iv4n and betwrong has agreed to send some back so how about if we three split it? The top 3 in Grand Finale received more than the others so yeah its kinda better this way and simpler

I'll cover 1400 chips on my own because I won both top 3 spot in Grand Finale and the lottery. So if Iv4n and Betwrong is cool with splitting the rest of the 1400 chips so 700 chips each then that would be great

Or we can make it 2000 + 400 + 400 . Whatever cools with you guys . Im fine with anything  

[jayce]

Pardon me, I just want to congratulate the winners. Congrats iv4n, arall, Betwrong, webtricks, Hhampuz, yahoo for the money prizes $$$. No matter what happens, all of you guys are my bros and I'll be more than happy to play again with you together.

I am rooting for you once again bro, go and win this one like real pro.

Thanks man for your support, much appreciated. Though I couldn't win it lol. Had turned my playing style into Webendo but iv4n ruined it Congrats for your winning anw

[Globb0]

wow wow don't fall out over me guys, I will make the endeavour happen and it is a separate thing we are discussing. I am very appreciating the support and passion of everybody.

SwC does seem most accessible, aside of the chat issues.

I have had a few little chats with the other guys who are running this type of game. Theirs are very full, if we keep it open to all we might be OK

I can see a kind of scenario where we cover the prize money or some kind of trade off arrangement by how many join.



Final best bit of news

We got to 49 follwers in the Chefcat stream later on yesterday. And this morning when I checked expecting to see 49 I see 53. Woo hoo.

We are now an affiliate status. Thanks so much to you all

Yeah, I'm cool with that. We could discuss forever, why not splitting the amount equally among us three, but I decided to quickly accept your generosity , and I already sent 700 chips to your SwC account(pls confirm receiving it).

Let's put an end to all this negative stuff, and let's think about something positive. And you know what it is? It is that the money that you sent to FOMA will finally end up in the account of our favourite poker commentator, Globb0! and everyone will be happy about that.

Arallmuus respect for fast decision and taking the half of the amount on you! I can only suggest one more thing, Betwrong and me to send an additional 700 chips to Globb0 for his game, in the end we will play that game and that will be for all of us. In that way we will have the same amount sent! Of course if Betwrong agrees, and Globb0 to tell us where to send chips, at SwC or some other place!

Edit: 700 chips sent to Globb0!

Thanks for saving me from further agonizing over "Was it okay that arallmuus paid 2 times more than the rest of us?".

[Globb0]

OK thanks guys.

I made a separate BTC address so its easier to follow  3A5a4tCdtgpdFXxTP2oFuHQKN3zqQLAowQ also via SwC is fine, hopefully the details are in the history tab for me to see but if not thanks very much to you.


Thanks for any donations to the cause I will make some further investigation tomorrow.

[iv4n]

Don't wish to complain or anything, but I should have a ticket for BIG BTC by now, but I still don't see anything on my account! Is there any problem with that? And should I ask for hats or not? I didn't get the first one, so I wonder is there a point to ask for a second one? It's not like I need that ticket and hats, I am just asking! Should I contact SwC about this matter?

The question that is on everyone's mind, I'm sure, is, are we going to have another Bitcointalk Poker Series any time soon?

I just went over the Tournaments schedule on SwCPoker, and it looked like there was no tournament scheduled for us on November 1:



But here's and idea: if we are not playing this Sunday in our series, how about meeting, all of us, in one of those tournaments? I would personally prefer something with a small buy-in, like Little BTC Satellite [1 Seat GTD], just for fun.

What about you, guys?

[Globb0]

The little BTC or the Sunday warm up will have actual prizes, the one you mentioned I think is only for a ticket.

Anyway I had this thought also and we definitely could hook up.

I don't have unlimited funds unfortunately, so I myself may be forced to the rail at some point.

Yeah, you are right. What Betwrong suggested is the satellite for the little BTC. The prize there is a "only" a ticket or two.. depends how many players participate in that event. Atleast 1 ticket is guaranteed.

I plan on playing little btc this Sunday, have a ticket in my pocket and not working on Monday. Would love to see more of our regulars there. Will also try to get ticket for Big BTC is about time to play that once more and I have to use opportunity when I am not getting up early next morning.

i appreciate the sentiment guys. i'm back home now and just sent all the chips back to both of you. like i told @arallmuus before, i was never that concerned about the money and this never should have been made public. it's all very embarrassing and petty. cheers.

Yeah, sure - you probably shouldn't have acted the way you did in the first place - goes to show a lot about you - super disappointed really.
