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

[arallmuus]

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.

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!

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

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've been missed big time, mate! Hope to see you at the tables next Sunday.  


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



Or, am I missing something?

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!

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

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.

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]

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!

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

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.

[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...
