Bitcointalk poker series #2 hosted by Betnomi

[icopress]

I Wont name the person because he is most likely going to change the way he plays on the river so yeah having these personal notes are great to get an edge over the other players . Its more like I cant really remember everything though so I had to make a note lol

I have notes for each of you too, although I admit I'm not a fan of such long recordings. Often many of you only resist on the flop, so I record the behavior of the players on the turn or river. For example: F / T / R (c/f) QQ, AK. I write down mostly dangerous situations, although I have not yet compiled a single note for Steamtyme (just almost all the note were in the period of the first series).

[Betwrong]

~Betwrong, Probably everyone has a noted under your name "don't fight him" Did you expect something else? Who else in a sober mind will go allin with an ace and a three against pocket kings and manage to win (three of a kind).  

Haha, Should I start exploiting that from now on? 

But seriously, none of you, top players in this Series, plays with the same strategy all the time. From time to time you change your behaviour unexpectedly, just like all good poker players do.


Am I the only one feeling that we weren't playing for a long long time?

Can't wait for the Sunday's game.

Can't wait for the Sunday's game.

Yep, this Sunday i will be with all of you for sure. Despite I obviously will be out of champaionship leaderboard, I can at least have a funny game  
So, see you soon!

Probably, the whole point is that, gathering on Sundays in such a small and friendly poker gang, we all feel more or less relaxed. There is no point in rushing somewhere, (unless you run out of beer and chips). It is for this reason that each of us deviates a little from our game strategies, and there is no particular cause for concern (as having played 4 games you still have a good chance of ending up at the final table). Although, if you remember the final game, it was very intense and lengthy.

Am I the only one worried about the translation commission? If, for example, your balance is empty, then to join you will have to pay about 45 dollars.

Well yeah in a home game especially with a small field like this , you need to change how you play constantly or else someone might take advantage of it. To some extend humans tends to repeat their action over some time in similar situation which is why I keep some personal note on how you guys play

Yep, this Sunday i will be with all of you for sure. Despite I obviously will be out of champaionship leaderboard, I can at least have a funny game

You might be able to get to top 3 to get some money and some points to turn the table  . Goodluck

You can always choose to deposit with usdt or usdc as an alternative though or probably some other alts like litecoin for cheaper fees

Nah, i doubt about that. As i know, this is the last or pre-last game before final (at least as i looked into tournament table) so only money for this game and entertainment (which is more important for me) will be my reward  If i will win of course 

Goodluck

And good luck to all of you

Next Sunday there will be the 4th game, and there will be five more games, including the final, (due to some technical difficulties, we all missed two Sunday games). As for the table, you probably saw the results of the first series, so everything is in order, you still have time to easily score enough points for the final.

I do remember the last final game. I won it, after all!



Indeed, it was very intense and lengthy, it lasted for more than 4 hours, and after 2 hours of playing, 8 players out of 9 were still sitting at the table! And, what a great game it was! I hope my perception of it was not distorted by the fact that I won it. I would enjoy it if I finished “on the bubble”, just outside of the money positions, as I often do.

Betwrong, do you agree that you were just lucky in the final? Because I remember that you were very passive for the first 3 hours, and as a result, having entered the top three, your first all-in took away 80% of my chips, and this despite the fact that I had pocket kings, (you had AJ or something).

Wow, nice. But anyway, i doubt about such occasion, if i will not be lucky as hell few games in a row

This is the main reason why i always bet on Betwrong.  The last time this decision brought to me a lot of Doge coins 


Also a question: Is Betnomi accept only bitcoin? To high fees for just a 15 dollars deposit

As Arallmuus said ... "You can always choose to deposit with usdt or usdc as an alternative though or probably some other alts like litecoin for cheaper fees" although he forgot to mention that this is also an ERC20 token, so if you have no alternative in the form of XRP or any other cryptocurrency with low transaction fees, then you will have problems (in your personal account a complete list of supported coins).

[arallmuus]

although he forgot to mention that this is also an ERC20 token

There is also TRC20 chain for USDT for far cheaper fees although Im not sure which chain does Betnomi use in their website but litecoin FTW , fast and cheap atleast for now

Wow, nice. But anyway, i doubt about such occasion, if i will not be lucky as hell few games in a row 

Technically speaking, you need atleast 6 points each round for the last 5 rounds to ensure that you get a spot on the Grand Finale. Its not that hard because on average we have like 9 players so you just need to survive half of the field 

Betwrong, do you agree that you were just lucky in the final? Because I remember that you were very passive for the first 3 hours

Slow and Steady wins the race  . I personally would be furious if I keep on folding my hands for over an hour but Betwrong is one of the player that is able to stay calm even if he has less than 5 BB left to wait for the best possible hand to shove . I personally would be tilted when I have less than 5 BB

New tourney is up, pw is btc2021s4 gl to all who play.

[famososMuertos]

Of course I agree, man! I'm saying it all the time, among players of the same level luck is the main factor, and 80% of ppl in our Series, imo, are on the same level.  iv4n and I were just lucky to win 2 Grand Finals each. I'm not crazy enough to think otherwise.

Btw, if you are having these problems

~Am I the only one worried about the translation commission? If, for example, your balance is empty, then to join you will have to pay about 45 dollars.

I can send you $60 via Buddy Transfer(just sent you $1 to test the feature), and then you can send me $60 in BTC to the address I will provide whenever it's convenient to you. No rush, really, just do it this year.

[icopress]

Someone remembers Weby's wild luck? I had something similar today. In addition to the screenshots below, pocket queens fell to me 4 more times.

Betwrong, Thank you for your concern, I will contact you tomorrow if this question is still relevant before the game.

[Steamtyme]

although I have not yet compiled a single note for Steamtyme (just almost all the note were in the period of the first series).

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing 

I'll try and wake up for the tourney. I'm on nights so it's more likely I sleep through. I won't pre-reg in case I do miss it.

Hey, @icopress, of course you can return the money via Buddy Transfer. (Just realized that the proposal to send it to my BTC address might look like a forced condition. )

This is sadly, but betnomi uses ERC20 chain for Tether. And all my tether on TRC20 :0
Shit, this is not the first time i found that it's not the best option to be Bitcoin maximalist

90 minutes before we start so you can still use your usdt to purchase other alts. In this case, litecoin might be a better option for cheaper fees. Feel free to hit me up in PM 15 minutes before the start of the game in case if your deposit wont make it, I'll be happy to send some balance via buddy transfer and feel free to return it after you get your deposit ( this will only work if your in game currency is usd )
