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

[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

@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! 

Lets see how far I can get tonight.. already excited af!
Just saw that I cant use the chat function, so dont take it personally if Im not answering while we are playing.

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

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!

[Hhampuz]

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

[yahoo62278]

Yea 500 krill is a bit ridiculous, Nh on that Ak.

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.

List is linked above, anyways.. here is a screenshot of that table of the different krill groups.

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 was a good run while it lasted.

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.

Hard to say. Depends on your bet size. Not smart to chase draws for alot of chips.

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!

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:



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!

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
