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

[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

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.

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.

Damn if you called my raise that easy I would just went all-in lol. Good luck for the next tourney and in the finale bud!

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

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.

Thanks morvillz7z, hope you manage to get into grand finale. Was bit surprised when seeing your name as the first one to exit. Good luck next week!

GG, everyone!

Gg mate! Thank you Good luck next week!

[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]

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?

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!
