Sweet! A $500 bonus prize pool for the grand final sounds amazing. If that's really the case, thanks a lot to Betnomi for sponsoring our series with such a generous amount. 

but there is one important condition to keep the 500 bucks at the final game. if we don't reach a minimum of 10 players/per tournament in the 4 tournament days the bonus will be reduced by $200 to $300 by betnomi.
in other words - if there is a tournament with less than 10 players, the bonus will be $300 instead of $500.

Ah, I see, thanks for the update @cygan. We currently stand at three registrations (I just registered). So at least seven more to go for the bigger prize pool.

Still almost a week time to register, but boys get your funds on Betnomi ready and join the fun!

A bigger prize pool make it more fun for everyone.

I would like to know more about the final game because feels like I'm missing something there.

How many users will play in that one?

Will the final game have Buy-In too?

And about the first 4 games, the prizes will go to the final game or each game will distribute the prizes from the buy-ins on that game?

Thanks for the information guys, and I hope you can add this information in the first page of the thread, I feel like it's relevant information for the tournament.

1)Each game will distribute the prizes from the buy-ins, for example: If there are 10 players in the first tourney the prize pool will be 200€(+rebuys) for this tourney and etc.
2)Final rounds were always free and funded by sponsor. So, It will be free but you have to earn enough points in 4 tournaments to get ticket for the final.
3) we don't know how many users will play in the final yet, but as I guess it depends on participants in 1-4 tournaments.

After i refilled my Betnomi account with fresh cash im gonna register.

I only have one question, if we see a ton of no users of this platform registering in the tournament how we can sack them?.

I say this because if i google for the password everybody can see the password. Or we also hope to more people to join from outside and lets see if them register here?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Maybe there is some free resources online through which I could learn how to play this game fast, any body with access to such information should please point me to it, I would very much appreciate it,
I believe that, the more we are in the game, the merrier, I would love to try myself out in the competition, but first, I need to attend a class, to move my win chances up a bit at least  ..

There are plenty, if you have like one hour you should be able to learn everything you need to know. You could start on YouTube.

8 short YouTube videos that tell you basically everything:

Are you a poker beginner and looking for ways to learn poker fast, easily, and profitably? You have come to the right place! In this playlist we’ve set you up with the ultimate beginners start-up guide on how to play poker against your friends at home, or at a live or online poker room. These videos will show you a step-by-step tutorial of how to be a master in Texas Hold’em!

Besides that, just try some freerolls on Betnomi. These run basically every day. You can just register and win some BTC for free, if you're making it to the first spots.

Thank you very much mate, I really appreciate the YouTube link you shared, though I've not watched the videos yet, but from the description, i think it is exactly what I am looking for, I will make out time tonight to watch the videos, as well as create a betnomi account and try out those free rolls, will see where that takes me... 😊

[arallmuus]

So 3 people registered so far, count me as 4 because Im going to join no matter what 

Chips start at 8k stacks and 10/20 blinds so thats 400BB stacks with 6minutes blind which is kinda fast and depending on the size of the field, Im guessing that we could get down to top 3 players around the first break. I'll be happy if we can get atleast 10 players so the size of the pot would be 200euro which gives atleast 40 euro to the 3rd place ( decent )

No problem buddy! I hope the videos help you get started. Even if the stuff seems a little complex at first, poker is a great game that gets more and more fun the better you get. And tbh I think that our series is also more about having fun. And unlike other sports, amateurs can easily beat professionals in a game of poker.

Awesome! We are now 4, but I'm sure there will be many more registrations as we get closer to Sunday. 

[darxiaomi]

Well now im oficially registered. So i hope to see more wellknow faces in the sunday.

I also see the Betnomi guys are sharing in the chat  the tournament and the link to here, so we can see new arrivals.

I dont know how good im gonna do, but i hope i can made a good tournament.

Good luck to all!

PS: In predictions pools i represent the Spanish board with FM but as far i can see im going to represent here with another buddy..... i see you seoincorporation.

Yea this is going to be more like a super turbo tourney. Basically a shovefest by 1st break I think. It will be interesting to see if the regulars we have played with for the last few series will switch up styles.

I am registered btw, maybe i'll be awake to play.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9,10= $500



I don't think there is problem for 10 players/PT(4Q), at least for this Sunday, it's not that difficult. The last time it was 20 players, although the GTD was another amount.

Anyway, Betnomi , Team Cy-ico thanks for the management and making this poker meeting possible

Darbit, we are no longer in classic H2H mode now we are three, I think we could easily have our local competition.

How does player- Twentiwan has 16K starting chips?

Ok, so I just logged in to check and the player did have 16k stack. I couldn't see a rebuy option, so i unregistered and went to register again and you can choose buyin+rebuy for same price as just the buyin. So the tourney rebuy option is going to to need to be set up correctly or everyone will get free rebuys. This has been mentioned in past posts but now we can see it is going to be an issue. There needs to be a rebuy period set and also a fee for each rebuy.

Hope it will be technically possible to solve the problem without deleting the tourney. I've posted about the issue here,may Icopress already know about this.

Yep, looks like we will easily make 10 participants. Nice!

@icopress already informed Betnomi about the issue. Hopefully they will fix it in time.

Uff, yea deleting the whole tourney would suck, since I guess we would lose some players that way. However, I am pretty sure things will get fixed until Sunday. It's only Wednesday today.

Haha man i forgot you are gonna play this one also. Yes now we are three.

About the tournament set up, im the only who everytime i go to chechk the lobby the tournament request me the password?

And yes i see one guy seems to have a re-buy and its with 16000 chips.
I think we easily gonna be more than 10, i expect something like 25. Source: My wish.

Should be a 5 minute fix but they will have to delete the tourney to fix it. Icopress will have to fill out the fields on the tourney sheet and give it to the owner to turn in. It's just a matter of getting the owner to respond and turn in the sheet at this point.

I would say we probably all need to unregister. Let them fix it and reregister.

The last time I submitted the form, all fields were filled out correctly. But after adding the tournament to the lobby, there were many inconsistencies (which are partly already fixed and those that have not yet been fixed should be fixed by the start of the game).

I sent you what I think the fixes need to be in discord, have a look and see if Sorsis can fix it for ya. I'd love for everyone to not have to reregister, but I'm not sure that's possible. Let us all know what gets worked out.

[seoincorporation]

I just take a look at the tournament lobby and all the users have 8k chips now, looks like the 16k chips issue gets fixed now.

But in the Re-Buy description, it say:

Rebuy (8000 chips for €0 + €0) available until the end of the tournament.

So, not sure if users will be able to re-buy or if that would be fixed too.

And I created a thread in the Spanish local board, I hope to see some users from there joining us. And there cygan mentioned the buy-in is $20 and not 20€, but for me, it was 20€, maybe that's something that we should make clear too.
