Betnomi Poker Series $1000 (OPEN to ALL)

[Betwrong]

Arallmuus/TikTokLyfe congrats on winning the last qualifier! That was unexpected tbh. When I was knocked out on the 6th place



you had the shortest stack at the table. Amazing job!

It's a pity that our favourite poker commentator, @Globb0 wasn't covering the game, cos since I missed the final showdown yesterday, I'd watch it today with great pleasure. I still have a ray of hope that Globb0 will be covering our Grand Final.

GG, everyone!

@famososMuertos, great job with that pic, as always, mate!

The man is flirting good hands

1r0n1c laughs at a stupid situation... The situation when I met his pocket kings with a reraise and bluff, but in some incomprehensible way for me on the Turn and River I first got the top pair and then the second pair.

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

I just relaxed ... after you and NoobHere gave me a shake when my position changed from chip-leader to short-stack and back. It happened literally right after there were three of us left ... So I decided that calling your bet with AQ would be a good decision.

Yeah I wasnt expecting that either and my only goal was to stay at the table as long as possible to scoop up points so that I will be able to get a spot on the Grand Finale.

Btw you made a good fold against me yesterday. If you remember the board that had three 7's on it, I had the other 7 on my hand and basically you are drawing dead on the turn already. I tried to value bet with 30% pot raise thinking that you might want to call with your Ace high but you made the good fold there  

So I decided that calling your bet with AQ would be a good decision.

The moment I got pocket 8 on me, I know that this could be my last hand. I was like whatever I made it to the Grand Finale, I made it to the ITM and Im too tired to continue playing so I rip it all in. Nice game though

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

Man, in truth, I didn't expect you to place me in the very corner (considering that I took second place). Looking at the Christmas tree, I at least clearly saw my tournament progress.

Apparently not only you are tired ... this time the tournament was held in silence, although I suppose after the New Year's hangover it was rather difficult to write in the chat. 🎄

[yahoo62278]

Congrats to all the finalists. I will need to know if you guys want the finale this coming Saturday or Sunday. I will have them set up the little final same day as grand final. I will pm the passwords to all who are eligible as well once tourneys are up.

I would prefer the Grand Final to take place as usual (on Sunday). Accordingly, if the Little Final takes place on Saturday, then we will have something to discuss before Sunday's game, (although I suppose this question is up to those who took 10th++ place).

The little final is so small, there will not be much to discuss. likely a 30 minute game.

Im fine with whatever decision we made in the end through consensus.

this time the tournament was held in silence, although I suppose after the New Year's hangover it was rather difficult to write in the chat. 🎄

Yeah I was quite tired and I wasnt even trying to read any chat ( if there is any ). I want to get the spot for the Grand Finale so bad which is why I put my full concentration on the game because I would normally play while watching some random videos on youtube though lol

What do you guys think about 50k stack with same blind structure?

Sounds like fun, 100BB structure with 50k stack and 9 max. You would have to check with Yahoo if he / Betnomi could change the stack format though but I am cool with whatever decided in the end

Im betting for myself  this is a good chance to actually win the series

[yahoo62278]

Only 9 players make the final game not 10. Those 9 players are Betwrong Iv4n 1r0n1c webtricks TikTokLyfe Teethow TrayvonKang noobhere icopress. There are 4 eligible for the little final. Those 4 are rak3y0urchips FmBet steamtyme and FOMA777. Both games will be this Sunday same start time with 50k stacks. I will pm everyone the pw for the game they qualified for. I'll wait til the game is in the lobby

Thank you. I thought you had a pocket pair, which would make a Full House for you. Glad I didn't have a pocket pair in that situation! That would be disastrous!

Congrats on getting a spot in the Grand Finale! See you there!

Congrats guys! You make it to the finals! I believe we will have a great game (with awesome prize pool)!

I had similar suggestions in previous games, but nobody was interested! If you are ready for some fun bets just share it, if you come up with some interesting proposition I will follow!

Arallmuus my man, as I say it to myself I will say to you, as long as you have some chips you have some chances!

We all play to win... but in the end the cards will decide! I am glad that I am in finals again! I will give my best to take one more first place...

Congrats guys! You make it to the finals! I believe we will have a great game (with awesome prize pool)!

Congrats to you as well! And congrats to everyone who played at least two games and ended up qualifying for The Little Final with the prize pool of $300! That's a great prize pool for the relatively small number of participants.

~We all play to win... but in the end the cards will decide! I am glad that I am in finals again! I will give my best to take one more first place...  

I want the first place too, and I will fight for it with all my strength. There are lots of uncertainties in a poker game, but one thing I  know for sure: it's impossible to take the first place by just waiting for it to happen, we have to fight for it.

And since, I'm sure, everyone from the the top 9 wants to win, we are going to have a bloody entertaining showdown this Sunday.  

Good luck to all of us!

only 4 of us in the mini final? what's the payout structure on that---100% to 1st place? this should be fun.

see you guys on the felt sunday! good luck to the finalists, and thanks @yahoo and @betnomi for putting it all together.

any side bets going?

Wait for that. I am preparing something interesting. Will post in the thread after few hours.

BITCOINTALK POKER SERIES FINALE BETTING MARKET

https://webtricks.website/poker

After noticing the users' interest, I decided to create betting market for our series finale. The initial odds are as shown in image above which are calculated based on the performance of the players in this series. I have written dynamic odds algorithm which will automatically change odds after each bet made based on user's probability and bet made on the user.

So, I have pre-generated accounts, anyone who's interested to try this fun event can PM me to get unique user id and password. Also, PM me your Dogecoin Wallet address, I will send your winnings to the address after event ends and bets are settled. You can send me the address later too (after the event). The minimum bet is 100 DOGE and maximum bet is 500 DOGE per bet.

FREE BONUS: I have also included the bonus of 7500 DOGE. First 15 accounts are loaded with 500 DOGE ($5) each. So, you don't even have to deposit in order to bet. In case, you want to bet more than 500 DOGE, you have to PM me and I will provide you DOGE deposit address. Send more DOGE to the address and I will manually fund your account.

This event is open to everyone, you don't need to be the series player to join. However, $5 bonus is only available to first 15 players so hurry if you want to claim bonus.


PS: Please don't post account request in this thread as it may consider as incentivizing to post by mods and you&me may get temp ban! So, I will only provide login details via personal message.

[Trofo]

Great job @webtricks with the betting page and thanks for that bonus 500 doge. I made a couple of bets on my old poker buddies. 100 on webtricks, and 400 on iv4n. iv4n is a beast when things get tight and my favorite for the series, added bonus I managed to win one of previous satellites against him so I can tell myself I am better than all of you if he wins

Site is very easy to use so give it a try guys. Here is couple of screenshots. And you can see on second one how my bets changed the odds quite drastically. Use it to your advantage 





P.S. Now I see that the odds on my choices dropped but other remained the same. Is it supposed to work that way? I was expecting odds on non chosen players to rise.

[arallmuus]

Pretty Interesting betting website there and I made some small bets on myself as well as some others with 2000 doges extra deposit. I randomly pick the other 4 players to bet on simply because they have high odds . I would love to bet on Iv4n the two times champion from the previous series as well but he had small odds after Trofo bet on him so I skipped him instead. Goodluck everyone on the felt as well as the side bet
