Bitcointalk poker series #2 hosted by Betnomi

[Steamtyme]

Man, I hope you have enough time to make time for two more games (since there are minor qualifying changes in this series.).

If it came down to it, I would forgo the pleasantry and reg the tourney whether I knew I could make it or not. Especially with the missed opportunities this series where I was available. Tomorrow shouldn't be a problem though so that's good, then just one other. Make sure to get most of my duties out of the way before it starts then I should be free, unless shit goes sideways.

see everyone tmw

Edit: Post tournament
GG today everyone. It was a good game after the minor disconnects. Shame we couldn't fill the table but hopefully we see a few more people come out for the next round.

Yet another amazing game we had yesterday.

Yahoo was so lucky that he got pocket Aces 3 times!(I assume the post in the chat, "the dub", meant AA for the 3rd time, right? ) And then he goes all-in, and I think "Well, that's the fourth AA, probably, but I have AA too so I'm calling".



But it were pocket sevens for Yahoo this time, and with a bit of luck(he almost hit a straight) I won.

The final showdown looked like this:



I flopped a King, and went all-in, and Steamtyme called with his pair of eights, not knowing that I had pair of kings already



Well, “Ignorance is our ammunition” as they keep saying in the TENET movie. It worked perfectly for Steamtyme, and he won rivering another 8. But even if I won that all-in, I'd still had less chips than Steamtyme, and most likely he'd outplayed me anyway.
Congrats on the win, @Steamtyme! Great performance yesterday with taking the 1st position during the first hour and never losing it till the end!

GG, everyone!

Yet another amazing game we had yesterday.

It was not a great round for me again but oh well I was playing damn bad as well so I had that one coming for sure. I've been having two consecutive lousy weeks so far but due to the low number of participants, I always get some points and still on 5th with 25 points. It would have been different if we had more than 10 players for every round, How fortunate for me.

he won rivering another 8.

Its always the sick river  

Congrats on the win, @Steamtyme! Great performance yesterday with taking the 1st position during the first hour and never losing it till the end!

Congrats man ! Steamtyme has 100% ITM record so far in this 2nd Betnomi Poker series, with 2 out of 3 rounds ended up winning it !

We are making some changes to our free bets and bonuses terms and conditions by limiting these only to verified players.
This is being done to eliminate the extreme cases of multi-accounting, especially for the predictor event. (some users are creating 30+ accounts)
However, some of you we know are regular players on the website and are comfortable verifying your account so you can partake in all events and bonuses.

Kindly just comment your username and we will verify your account as needed.
Please note, the verification is at our sole discretion.

I suppose the regulars of this thread can be checked automatically. ^[Ed] Those on this list under a poker pseudonym should probably contact Betnomi's support. In addition, I noticed that the betnomi in another thread only quotes users in the case of a check ... wouldn't it be easier to use [/ code] to update the lists?

I lost my roll playing craps on betnomi, but it was live. So that was real fun.

Commenting for verification. Will be sure to buy in for this sunday.

I see a checkmark in black and white, although it is not that important ^{[I guess because of the view mode]}. By the way, I'm sorry I missed the Sunday game (for the first time) but I was a little busy. + I still don't see infographics with current leaders, FM hurry up.

mmmhh!!  /    /  #143

Let's say that it has been the fastest classification that I have in the thread, I understand then that it has been a bluff
______

CCWatcher420, curiously, again I had J9 the same ones with which we played our HuH last week and I dare to say the shortest HuH in the history of the series at least with betnomi (I may be wrong) a single hand. On the play last Sunday I drowned on the river, nice call => nh.

Another hand that I liked was one that I played against Betwrong UTG with AK, flop: ATT , AQs (SB), I check-call all the streets, except the river, which we both check-check, nh.

^{I'm not on my personal laptop, but maybe I'll show them later.}

Is this event officially sponsored by Betnomi, or is this just made up as a name for the tournament, if this is really the official tournament then I think there could be great opportunities to promote it even better than it is now, it is also a shame that bitcointalk does not have a separate Poker section?

No green. Does it mean my account is verified, or do I need to do something else?

Yeah, I remember this hand



I thought you might have had a Ten, or even a J9, and were bluff catching me by checking the river, so I just checked in return.

You can find the answer to your question in OP post and the fact that main account of betnomi wrote here few posts before yours. 

BETNOMI has opened the door for us to have a new poker series ran on their site. They ran a couple freerolls for everyone to test out the platform and try different starting stacks to see which suited everyone, now it's time to get the series started.

The guarantee will also be changed as well. I am introducing a tier system. This will motivate you guys to bring in more players. The more average participants, the higher the finale guarantee will be. The average will take all the players who joined each tourney and divide it by 8. That will give you the average # of participants. For example 20 players join 5 games and 30 players join 3 games, that will give you an average of 23.75 players, meaning a 1250 euro finale game.

The tiers are as follows:

0-12 players average= $750  finale
13-24 players = $1250  finale
25+ = $1750  finale

Don't thank me 


I hope this week I will be with all of you on Sunday. The chances for that are pretty high, since I'm free this weekend

In my case I thought; JJ +, and of course the Ax always enter your range betting on UTG, but I think that on another occasion you would bet with AK, AQ (or AA) stronger from there, 3BB, 3.5B+, whatever , nh.

Hi, Globb0 / 

[arallmuus]

but I think that on another occasion you would bet with AK, AQ (or AA) stronger from there, 3BB, 3.5B+, whatever , nh.

Nice thought process there. Most of Betwrong's betting ranges are Ax on the early position and the pot size bet on the flop tells you that he tried to protect his Ax holding there so if you have AQ it is quite unlikely for him to have the same hand so maybe AJ or AK because if he has A10 there is no point for him to bet that large on the flop

Would you still call if Betwrong bet again on the river? AQ would be hard to fold though sometimes but yeah its kinda like 65% fold there

I'd call being in his place. Hate losing with AQs and the top pair, but I lose so often with such calls. If I knew he had no pocket 10 and no straight, I'd make a value bet and he'd call, I'm sure. But how could I know?


Have you guys noticed that we need just one more player to move from here "0-12 players average= $750  finale" to there "13-24 players = $1250  finale"? @Iv4n, where's your godfather?

EDIT: I so wanted it to be true that I missed the word "average". It appears that we need more additional players than just one, and all of them should be playing in the following games.

He lost his initial deposit and he didn't want to invest more in crypto first and later to deposit for playing! He played slots too much, like a little kid with a new toy! Probably my wish to stop playing affected him, without Enghilsh he can't follow everything on his own..

And I lost interest first in betnomi, later in poker... I didn't play poker since my last game here. I have a desire to play in some moments, but but... I was thinking to return to SwC, or to look for a new poker site... but I have less and less free time for hours of playing poker, the kid is growing, a wife is getting bigger (for a month and a half we are entering 9 months!)...

I regularly follow this thread and all of you! I just keep myself on a side when it comes to commenting!

It would be a tough one to fold for sure but probably FM would call even if you bet like half size pot in the river. Good thing for FM was that you stopped betting otherwise it would be a bloody.

Yeah still needs alot more but atleast we locked up $750 which is still decent for the Grand Finale.

Yeah its hard to really play poker when you have to take care of the family as well. I'd also go for other stuff like slots if I have less free time to play , totally understandable.

a wife is getting bigger (for a month and a half we are entering 9 months!)...

congratulations on your soon to be born child

I have already raised this issue ^{[Check out the first page of this thread]}, and nevertheless, if the third poker series is launched, I will then talk to Cyrus to create a separate subsection on the Discord channel. There are more than 300 people there, and I am sure that moving from tg will be justified. A Telegram can exist in parallel, but by communicating in Discord, we are 100% likely to fill the gap of players.
