~ If we are using same blind structure of 100 BB, it doesnt matter even if the starting stack is 100k or 200k chips though because it will be the same as having 10k chips and 100 BB structure. Deepstack should be around 200-300 BB though and it might last more than 4 hours because in the Grand Finale, everyone would be tighter than usual.

I support 200-300 BB deep stack for the Grand Finale, although imo 200 BB would be enough to potentially play a long and interesting game, but not too long when you might end up with no beer left at the most interesting point.

Congrats for taking the top position on that tree, Improved/TrayvonKang!

famososMuertos, good job in making those pics, as always!

sure, that´s what I meant. 200-300bb would be very interesting imo :-)

.......... although imo 200 BB would be enough to potentially play a long and interesting game, but not too long when you might end up with no beer left at the most interesting point.

Man you are a titan if you allow yourself to drink beer while playing! I'm just interested in the question, is one break per hour enough for you? 

And by the way, does it make sense for the leaders of the table to participate in the 7th and 8th games? Considering that, according to the results of 6 games, they already have enough points to qualify for the Grand Final.

Actually I don't drink much, and I never start drinking from the very beginning. The first 1.5-2 hours I'm sober as a judge. Also, the quantity of drinks in my house is pre-established so that I wouldn't drink too much. That's why they can run out if the tournament is too long.

And by the way, does it make sense for the leaders of the table to participate in the 7th and 8th games? Considering that, according to the results of 6 games, they already have enough points to qualify for the Grand Final.

I was thinking about it. At first I do play mostly for points to qualify for the the Grand Final. And when the goal is achieved, it seems like it's more advantageous to play in some GTD tournaments where the prize pool is usually bigger than all the buy-ins combined. But it's advantageous only money-wise, while I'm looking for the entertainment in the first place. And it is so much fun playing with you guys, and since it can be the last Bitcointalk Poker Series in the observable future, I'd rather play in those 2 games.

I think everything related to poker can still be discussed here if it only concerns sponsorship you should put that in the subject

You can think whatever you want that doesn't make it true.

I think people reading the OP and comprehending where they are posting is great. Clearly some disagree.

With only two games pending  (Q7- Q8) it is worth commenting on some things:

Curiosities of the first Betnomi Poker Series $ 1000
After 6 qualifying tournaments only three players have managed to score points in all tournaments:
Betwrong
webtricks: Q4 winner.
icopress: Q1 winner.

No player has been repeated as a winner and only one player has been in that winning situation (HUH) three times reaching first place his third time.

_______
In reference to the leaderboard;
Those who remained without movements, webtricks and steamtyme maintain their positions 3rd and 9th.

The big jump; Teethow from being in the small final has managed to climb 3 places.

Betwrong momentarily loses the top 1 to TrayvonKang.

Let's bump a topic! People should see it and join! It's open to all, so sharing password is ok!

We have a great game here! Prizes are more than good, people who play are awesome in every possible way... I really expected more people to join!

We play great poker! That's for sure! Some people are real pros! I am playing with you guys, and I am watching you, all of you had some amazing hands and wins! This is the right place to learn poker, because you can talk with all participants and analyze any hand!

I am first to register! I am waiting you to join for another great game! The Grand finale is getting closer, I hope I will be on that table once again! And I hope I will win your asses once again! After all I have two finals won!

i just loaded up my account and registered. see you guys on the felt tomorrow!

the only thing i'm worried about is sleeping late. 9am is still a challenge for me. i'll set a few alarms.

i'm not even aiming for the grand finale---taking down the little final will be satisfying enough!

[Steamtyme]

Okay just getting off nights. I've registered and will hopefully wake up in time, and not fall asleep while playing.

Good luck everyone

[seek3r]

Might be in tonight aswell!
Only played Q1 and Q2 but I'm not sure about. Will give it a try again after the first games there were some problems with the client for me aswell.

See you guys tonight.

There is a saying in my region that says "this guy took out his badge" 

I do not know if it is understood, but damn well the credentials should be brought out when really needed... nice men here.

Hi!! seek3r
I think you only have one tournament played, but anyway it would be nice to see you at the tables again.

[arallmuus]

Goodluck everyone, it sucks when you have to be the first one to get out two weeks in a row but thats it and better lucky next week. Luck was not in my favor today. I had to fold few good hands because river sucks for me and face abit of cooler there. Tried to slow play pocket Kings and it backfired to me when flush draws gets there. Everyone folded when I had pocket Aces eben when I only raised 2BB. Bad luck happens and this is what makes poker interesting  


Well there is no way that I will be the first one to go out third time in a row next week isnt it  . I'll make sure I get the highest possible points next week to ensure my spot in the Grand Finale

[famososMuertos]

That's right, you just have to understand it by its very essence and by the diversity in its style of those who play it.

Today I was getting good hands and getting help on the flop. A double pair looking to catch someone with a top pair on an 84T flop became a flush for the toughest player in this series Betwrong.

Then maybe the hand that could get me on my way became that play that you know the kiker can hurt you, but the kiker became a full house ...

NH icopress

Then the dinosaur came in and I couldn't do anything even though I was still with about 15 or 20 BB.

I'm sorry for that, mate. With 15-20 BB it was still perfectly possible to win the tournament, and you got disconnected. That's unfortunate. Maybe try to find out what place in your town has better Internet, and play these tournaments from there?

But most of all I wish you had good connection in your place, so that no dinosaur could ruin your game.  


GG, everyone!

Congrats on winning, @icopress!

In my opinion, Iv4n got extremely unlucky during the last minutes of the tournament. Just look at his number of chips when only 3 players left:



and he finished 3rd in the end! Yet, still ITM, and don't forget that he's the only one who has won two Grand Finals. So, not bad, iv4n, not bad at all.

[figmentofmyass]

sorry guys, i shit the bed on this one. donated the buy-in, but i know it's annoying playing with sit-outs. i woke up to play but was overwhelmed by family drama and never made it to the PC.

congrats to @icopress and the others ITM.

Maybe I am wrong, I think you won 6 times! Two jacks, higher cards, pairs...nothing worked against you last night! I had a nice stack, but as it goes in poker sometimes, you can't do many things only with a nice stack, you need some good cards too! I had a feeling that Icopress is standing on a side and watching us fighting, he just collect the cream from the top, and he won in the end with his careful play!
Congrats to you Bet on nice finish, you were struggling with chips, as I remember you had even 10-15k while we had over 100k! Awesome play!
Congrats to Ico for the first place! I guess we see in the next game and that we secured our seats for the grand finale!

PS: I won one small final too!
