Betnomi Poker Series $1000 (OPEN to ALL)

[icopress]

Thank you guys for the congratulations, and although this is the second win in this series and the third time I've made it to ITM, I still can't keep up with Betwrong and TrayvonKang. To be honest, after the battle with famososMuertos, which made me the chip leader, I thought that luck turned away from me ...

If I remember it right, after the flop Betwrong supported my huge raise even though I had a Straight-draw and he had nothing. Turn, River, 2x ♧ .... damn lucky.

And by the way, every time yahoo62278 raised preflop I laughed, because I represented him as Grinch, who, instead of Christmas gifts, was stealing our blinds.

[icopress]

....... 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! .....

So it was, I am firmly convinced that at this stage of the game, you need to be more afraid of the small stack and not the chipleader, (as expected Betwrong confirmed my theory). And you're right, I clearly remember that moment when you had 130k chips against 11k, (3 all-in vs small stack and you are no longer a chipleader). 

p.s. famososMuertos where have you disappeared? We are all waiting for the tournament tree!

[Betwrong]

~, but i know it's annoying playing with sit-outs. ~

It wasn't that annoying to me when you won all-in with Ace high straight, quadrupling your stack without even being there. Nice hand, mate!

I can confirm that. The New Year is coming, we need that tree! I'm saving my 1 sMerit precisely for rewarding that picture.

You have a cool party) It's a pity that this series is almost over. Betnomi will sponsor poker tournaments for the forum in the future?

I believe we got confirmation that they will sponsor one more tournament. If we manage to increase participation in the series it could lead to further sponsorships. Definitely follow the thread for any future announcements or join the telegram group linked in the OP.

What decision did we come to regarding participation in the "Little Final"?

As far as I understand, the situation is such that if we have a gentlemen's agreement, then only 4-5 people will take part in the Little Final, (the probability of getting into the ITM for the participants of the Little Final will be 1/1.6, while for the participants of the Grand Final this ratio will be 1/3).

[famososMuertos]

...//...:

In reference to the leaderboard;
Betwrong regains the lead.
webtricks gives up two places but secures a place at the final table just like noobhere.

Edit*:
Mathematically with chances of being out but with a high probability of making the final table (9) 1r0n1c.
____
So next Sunday is the most interesting game of the series, for some the pride of winning if they have not done a top1 Q tournament, the aforementioned 9 will have the uncertainty of knowing that we are going to do the three that we have mathematical chances of entering the final.

*I was wrong in my projections.

[arallmuus]

Mathematically with chances of being out but with a high probability of making the final table (7) Teethow ( TikTokLyFe and (9) 1r0n1c.

I'll make it to the Grand Finale  ( I think ) been having a very rough week so far with the cards. Its not only on Betnomi but all other platform that I have been using. I literally had around 20% flip win rate so far I think and I probably used up all my remaining luck for 2020 but the good thing is the next game would be on 2021 so it could be a brand new start for me

Not sure about this, but I think there will be only 2 paid places in the case of 4-5 people participating. But even if there were 3 paid places, and the probability of getting into the ITM were be 1/1.6, the very possibility of such situation would serve as a good incentive to join the Series for potential participants in the future.

As @Steamtyme said above:

I believe we got confirmation that they will sponsor one more tournament.

Fingers crossed it will happen!

Guys (without girls, sadly we still don't have any) we had a great run this year! Maybe there's a shit around, but Bitcoin in on the run... from under $4k in January to over $28k and rising! Some of us are in this poker series from the start, give or take we spent the entire year together! And definitely we had a great poker every Sunday, for some period we had two games every weekend! I am really glad to be part of this with all of you guys! I hope we will play many more games together!

Not only that, but I wish all of you a nice evening with people you love and care about, and of course all the best in 2021!
Sadly I am working tonight, so no drinks and partying for me... that will have to wait tomorrow!

And just to say that I am in for any "New Year Bitcointalk Poker Game", with some higher buy in maybe...

Good luck guys and see you around!

[Betwrong]

To me Bitcointalk Poker Series has been one of the brightest events of the 2020. The very fact that it's not over yet, and that we are playing at least two games in the beginning of 2021 makes me feel happy in this New Year's Eve.

This night I will raise the glass to all of you, organizers, sponsors and participants! I wish only the best for you in the upcoming year!

And separately, I will raise the glass to you @iv4n, and to people like you who are working during this night. It's thanks to you we can peacefully celebrate at our homes, having electricity, water, the Internet, and many other important things provided!

[yahoo62278]

btc2020sfinal is the pw for this weeks game. Good luck to those with a chance to get in to the final.

[webtricks]

Final game of the series before grand finale and I don't see many joined yet. Only 4 so far, including me. Just an hour to go, I hope most of you will show up to make this one cheerful even if you are qualified for the finals or have no chance of qualifying.

[famososMuertos]

I don't play for any final table ... Come on! the final table is very very difficult .... so as they say the stirrup! in the distances of the IP it is worth sharing one more game ...

icopress this is ridiculous..

icopress this is ridiculous..

The man is flirting good hands

Your departure so early is unexpected, but you are still in the grand finale.

I thought NoobHere was going to fold I thought I had fold equity against him, but the 88s do their thing again and as if it were not enough, a pair of 88 formally eliminates me, we only had 100 chips left, but the cruelty of going back to see them 

In any case, only the first place served me and in the absence of good hands, I would repeat the play again in the same situation, although with those blinds it gave for a little more hope.

As always, it is a pleasure to share a table with all you.

[arallmuus]

but the 88s do their thing again and as if it were not enough, a pair of 88 formally eliminates me, we only had 100 chips left, but the cruelty of going back to see them

You know what, Im not sure if this is coincidence but I knocked Icopress out with 88 as well. Even managed to turn it into a set / full house and I wasnt even trying to play it slow because the moment Icopress raise call to 2BB , I know for sure that he is going to call my all in and yeah Pocket 8s is the magic number for today


A very tight game as usual and It was fun playing with you guys, managed to get the 1st spot after two weeks in a row being the first one to kiss goodbye to ITP spot. See you guys on the Grand Finale and congratulations to everyone that make it  

Thankyou @Betnomi for sponsoring this and @yahoo62278 for getting us the sponsor and managing the whole tournaments !

[famososMuertos]

^{Congratulations to today's winners Arallmuus and Betwrong for being number one in the qualifiers.
Thanks to everyone involved, players, betnomi and yahoo62278.}
