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

[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.

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)!

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.

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

[jayce]

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....

Thanks man, much appreciated

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!

You talk sense now, mate. Just Do It.

No need! I agree with that!

Exactly, no poll.

Just Do It.

   Okay then. Case closed by unanimous decision!

Confirming the receipt of the chips, including another 800 for the last two games - thank you.

:...//...:

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

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
