Bitcointalk poker series #2 hosted by Betnomi

[johhnyUA]

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.

So if I'm playing only half of the games on average i will not be counted as a needed player for grand final? Not so good, as for me and for you 

I will ask my friend to play with us, but not sure if he will join us (despite he loves Holdem very much)

if the third poker series is launched, I will then talk to Cyrus to create a separate subsection on the Discord channel.

Judging from the lack of interest so far I dont think there will be a 3rd one though.

This is not the case. The number of average players will only determine the prizepool for the Grand Finale, basically higher number of players on average = higher prizepool. As for the requirements to join the Grand Finale, it will be based on your points and only top 9 would be eligible to join the Grand Finale with 3 places paid.

You can check your points from the spreadsheet

I will ask my friend to play with us, but not sure if he will join us (despite he loves Holdem very much)

The more the merrier

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?

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!

OH wow congratulations bro.

You will be very busy soon then.  xxxx

All the best to you and your partner.

As for the small final, I think it was said that 4 Q were needed, it was not official, and in fact the OP maintains that are only 2. This is a good argument for those who want but do not dare, because taking these three games He could be playing an interesting tournament and in fact, according to one point expert, 26 is the number for the grand final, if things go well.

New tourney is posted, pw is btc2021s8.

Just to clarify, the new rule has been posted since the series started, I didn't edit 1 section but the rule stands. It will take 4 qualifiers to qualify for the little tourney.

Just letting you know, guys, that you are not alone in seeing this

Hope it'll be fixed soon, and we'll play.

It will take 4 qualifiers to qualify for the little tourney.

@Steamtyme needs 1 more but he probably going to qualify for the Grand Finale. @Iv4n and @webtricks needs to play 2 more rounds to qualify for the small final. @johnnyUA needs to play 3 more rounds. Today is the 6th round so make sure to participate so make sure to register and play in case you guys want to atleast qualify for the small final

Thanks for your replies, @yahoo62278 and @arallmuus!

The problem was on my end then. I just registered in another browser with no issues.

Glad you made it . That last hand of yours was probably the first time that I saw you shove without having an A in your hand , and you could have played it slowly. Basically with your 25bb, you would be getting the 2nd place for sure even if you keep folding because yahoo was pretty aggresive and Jayce was short on stack so Jayce should be knocked out first


Im not sure what was happening but congratulations @Jayce for winning this round. It was a massive comeback with only 5BB left against Yahoo with his big stack but somehow he made a solid comeback by winning all those shoves ! Pretty lucky !

Good game everyone, see you guys next week

Absolutely. Shoving here



was a mistake on my side. And it wasn't like I was in a hurry or anything. I should have played it slowly at that point, but, well, "What's happened, happened."

Wow! @Jayce won? That was unexpected. Congrats! At one point, when I was still at the table, it seemed to me that Jayce went all-in and lost to Yahoo. I even told my wife "It's only two of us left", and then I saw that Jayce, for some miraculous reason, wasn't out ye, left with some small amount of chips! And then he managed to win the tournament? Pretty lucky indeed.

Can't wait for the  @famososMuertos' vids!

GG, everyone.

Thanks guys! It was pure luck indeed, and yeah I thought I have lost already with that all-in but somehow I was still alive. That happened so quick but I guess it was a draw since both of us had Ace, so I got my chip back and not bothered to check previous hand. Good game guys, and good luck!

Yep it was really unfortunate, you could have easily booked the 2nd place with your stack because Jayce was really low on chips. I wasnt expecting you to to shove that hand. It was JK and it wasnt suited. I was watching it and the moment you shove that stack, I thought you might had some pocket pairs like JJ QQ KK because it really feels like a confident shove

for some miraculous reason

Thanks guys! It was pure luck indeed,

It was a miracle indeed. Yahoo had 164k chips and You had 10k chips. Blinds was like 2k on the big blind, thats literally 5 BB with Yahoo standing with over 80 BB but somehow you keep on doubling your stack after each shove. I've never seen anything like that before

[Betwrong]

~I wasnt expecting you to to shove that hand. It was JK and it wasnt suited. I was watching it and the moment you shove that stack, I thought you might had some pocket pairs like JJ QQ KK because it really feels like a confident shove

Well, I would never shove JKo with 6+ players at the table(your notes on me being correct there ). However, I think there's a difference between playing with 6+ players and 3 players, because in the latter case, let alone in Heads-up, JKo are good cards to shove with, imo.

Yet, in that particular it was a mistake, considering NoobHere/jayce's stack size being 4 times less than mine.

Who knows ... for I, for example, am more wary of players with a small stack than the chip leader. But the fact that yahoo62278 was in the small blind is a completely different story. When you saw the flop, you should have folded your hand without hesitation, (in case of a raise). But this is not the main thing either .. You lost because you had no notes on yahoo.

It was a premium hands but you are not the chip leader so it was risky. If Yahoo shove any Ax hands, that would be fine because both of you guys are shorter in stack compared with him. Even if he shove any Ax hands and lose, that would be fine because he still has tons of stack.

Well everything happens for a reason, the fact that you shove that KJo hands and lose made Jayce won the tournament. Otherwise Im pretty sure he was going to end up at the 3rd place with only 5 BB

Notes FTW  but yeah I mean we all made that stupid moves somehow but we learn from that. Sometimes Its hard to fold but a lay down is definitely needed. IIRC I made fold like 3 Ax hands in the last game because I wasnt sure with the big sizing raise , didnt want to end up as the 1st one that got knocked out so yeah had to make that lay down

[famososMuertos]

Congratulations to the winners/ field.

From the comments it seems that we had an epic huh, sorry I couldn't document.

It is the second time that rak3y0urchips has been in a win situation (in these series hosted by Betnomi), the first one occurred in series#1 / Q#4.

For its part, NoobHere won the Q#2 and was second in the Q#8 of series#1, also  that today it has 40 points with two Q to play yet in series#2, it is equaling the amount of points it made in the entire series#1.

Yeah, but it was all-in form the beginning. I didn't expect anyone calling, in the first place. If I knew yahoo was going to call, I wouldn't shove anything less than QQ.

But this is not the main thing either .. You lost because you had no notes on yahoo.

I have plenty of notes on every player in our Series, but you are right, they are not in written form, only in my head, so technically no notes. I hope this way I can actually have more of them, but after third beer, yeah, it becomes less.

Congrats, @jayce, on being the first in points! Well deserved.

[famososMuertos]

We have 2 Q left, if place 10 comes into play that makes things interesting for position 9.
In any case, mentioning the new participation "awojj" on the last day marked his history in the series with 4 points.

[icopress]

Are we playing today? I see that no one has joined the tournament yet.

We have 2 Q left, if place 10 comes into play that makes things interesting for position 9.
In any case, mentioning the new participation "awojj" on the last day marked his history in the series with 4 points.

Now all that remains is the freeroll and the final game, (as I understand it, one more qualifying game will no longer change the results).
