Betnomi Poker series discussion thread

[Cacingkemi]

Wouldn't it be more sensible to set up your own poker section in Bitcointalk? Now everything is mixed up here.

[Globb0]

I knew that chances of winning.... were not that high

GG, everyone! See you in the Series! (is it really starting on Wednesday  )

Yeah, I think its just a second freeroll. Maybe a good test to shake out any more bugs.

If everyone is happy and looks largely that way with a few fixes its likely to be soon and on Betnomi.

Yahoo will let everyone know the plan as it develops im sure.

Depends on the powers that be, I would offer to mod that, if it was a thing that was needed.

It was nice to play even if I busted early, my poker is quite rusty and also happy to see level is quite decent : when I used to play freerolls were a  donkfest while yesterday saw solid poker being played.
Experienced some disconnects as well (two or three) but thougth it was my isp until I came here today reading this thread.

Thanks Betnomi for the opportunity and yahoo for the efforts you are putting in.

The disconnect issue looks to have been fixed. If anyone is still facing issues let me know. Also, the freeroll should be up in the lobby later today. I'll post it in the OP as well once it's up.

I just spoke with the owner, we will run another freeroll on wednesday same start time. There are a few differences, I opted for a deepstack tourney for everyone to have a good 50000 stack to try with. I also changed the pw.

Cool! Just make it an hour or two early if possible. 6PM is too late for me and most of the Asian players meanwhile 5PM won't affect US and Europe players' schedule much. You guys can still play 12PM or later which is pretty good and we guys can play majority of the tournament before midnight, win-win for both.

The owner also said they will try to fix the disconnect issues by wednesdays game for us.

Wonderful! However, poker software is pretty decent and stable. Like others, I was getting logout on the browser every now and then. But once I switched to software, I didn't face logout issue even once. Moreover, software is fast. SwC usually lags but betting was smooth on the Betnomi client.

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.

+1 added to the counter. I don't know how is this even possible but every time I play against you, I am the one who loses. AJ vs KJ, insane hand!


EDIT:

Okay, do consider my time-change request.

...//...:
If we use the same blind structure, it means 250 BB for everybody. Some people might not be familiar with fast paced 100 BB game because we used to have 5000 stack with 10/20 blinds in swc poker series and that is 250 BB. Great , Thanks for sponsoring this freeroll Betnomi and thanks for arranging Yahoo 
:://...

If this point is important, it really depends on a lot of the player's style of play and his strategy, in my case when I was regular my specialty was 1500 (10/20) levels of 3-5-7 minutes, 6-max.

So 250BB deepstack tournaments have something interesting, this allow them to adapt to a larger field of players, fish, those who like to play cash tables among other styles even rusty* players...
...obviously the regulars they have their strategy frequent players in the ITM like the players we saw last Sunday in the top 3, the 4th place could have been luck.

Whatever, waiting for the next game.

Good adjective, please to borrow it, I hope not for long     / GG

sorry but I would get in troubles with any time changes

sorry but I would get in troubles with any time changes 

Just for a clarification, I am requesting a time change to our usual time slot i.e. 5PM, the same time SwC series used to hold. However, last freeroll on Betnomi was held at 6PM, an hour later than usual.

So which time is unfavorable for you, 5PM or 6PM?

I would prefer the same time like on Sunday, but these are just my 2 satoshis :-)

The disconnect issue looks to have been fixed. If anyone is still facing issues let me know.

I was playing for 3 hours in a tournament yesterday(won $7.7 btw  ), and there were no disconnection issues during the whole time.

Also, the freeroll should be up in the lobby later today. I'll post it in the OP as well once it's up.

I just checked, and this is what I saw:



I personally don't mind playing with zero prize pool, just as @Globb0 said, "to shake out any more bugs", but I think something's wrong with the date there.

[Globb0]

I cant seem to log into it today.

I tried different country proxies.

Always getting "Network Error"

What time is this game in UK terms? anyone know?

Ill add it to my schedule of games.

Last word is my game is now being set up I will release more details separately.


Cheers all, good luck in the new series and welcome to the new players.

You are good. Alot of those guy in tournaments love to play with suited wild ranges and its hard for me to handle that. Some people even have the wildest range like K3 off suit that open raise from the UTG position. I even met a guy that shove all in with pair 3 despite that A J K are on the board, pretty wild for my taste

Regarding the disconnect issue, Yeah I was playing yesterday for an hour and was playing today for around an hour before the maintenance started, Its all good for me as well.

Did you try to play recently? The site is under maintenance right now

What time is this game in UK terms? anyone know?

Same exact time like the previous freeroll on Sunday but probably an hour earlier. I'll edit this post to let you know if it is an hour early or same exact time

Ill add it to my schedule of games.

It will be nice if you stream it as well  

[1r0n1c]

Hey Yahoo, any news regarding the start of the new series?
Who is collecting the 400 chips btw?
From the last freeroll I got some Euro, can I convert them on betnomi into BTC or how will I pay the fee for our series?

Not sure about this site, but some other sites (not related to gambling) have configured that you can no longer access it with a proxy. it doesn't seem like it here.
maybe a proxy connection that is too unstable and not stable enough?

I wanted to het this other freeroll ran before the series started. Let people decide between the 2 structures and start finalizing things.

The freeroll is up but it is for this Sunday instead of today. They had an issue on the poker client yesterday and are making sure things are right.

I will start paying the password to everyone who has given their Betnomi poker name in this thread today.

We have about a week to figure out the series so I can turn it in and get it set up. I still need volunteers to handle the spreadsheet and funds. I may not be available every week so I dont want the responsibility in case I'm not.

Well I didn't see anything on betnomi about transferring funds between players, do they have it? It will be hard to manage funds between wallets, with slow and cheap transactions. Some of us can send additional fee for all games, but is it fine with everyone? Betnomi gave a nice offer, maybe we can forget about lottery and additional prize for final game and to rise buy in for tournaments? Maybe I am missing something about all this, would you like to hear what others think about it.
