Betpanda.io Bounty Hunter Poker League, Big Prizes!, Huge Bounties!!, Discussion

[memehunter]

I would be happier if I could beat you, mv1986 and Little Mouse. I'm too confident, but trust me I'm just kidding. mv1986 and Little Mouse are professional poker players who are hard to beat.

You are right about the two of us; I am the biggest fish in the pond.

I'm betting against you not making it to the grand finale $15 and you $10

Accepted
Last time, you won both bets, so this time, lady luck should be on my side.

It's always a pleasure to try and support forum things and forum people. Admittedly been doing it far less recently than I'd have liked to but when you've got an actual group of people engaging and playing, you want to try and reward them for it (well, not reward, maybe recognise).

Thanks once again for sponsoring and supporting this event in a quite innovative way. Indeed, we are growing solid as a poker community in this wonderful forum, day by day. I sincerely hope that you will join us in future league tournaments.

I had a great time because I knocked out four players and still finished in 3rd place. Not bad for a free toplay poker tournament.. Right now, we're waiting for the last two players mv1986 & slapper1 to determine 1st and 2nd place. Eventhough I'm sleepy I have to finished it, it's been a while since I joined a tournament like this.

Big thanks to betpanda.io for sponsoring this poker tourname hope there will be more in the future! If I'm not mistaken, about 20 players joined and everyone was active playing, making it really exciting. lol

Also big thanks to memehunter for organizing this poker tournament.

It was really nice to participate with you, I’m sorry that I had to leave early for a family meeting that I couldn’t skip. I played very aggressive which was really cool and more enjoyable honestly. I had luck at first but they kicked me out for bluffing, xd.
I also saw the different gameplay of Royse since for the first time he is not the host, felt like he played more confident.
See you in the next tournament, once again a big thanks for Meme!

Prize received thank you! Waiting for Tourney #2

I knew he would win after he tripled his stack when he was pretty low, too bad we could have eliminated him pretty early on. Aside from the fact that people were playing super aggresive against him due to the bounty on his head, he was surprisingly very lucky with the cards 

I got knocked out pretty early by Little Mouse though but thanks to that, I could go to bed because I had rough day lol. 3 more rounds to go, I could still snatch some prizes to include myself on the grand finale standing

[memehunter]

Prize received thank you!

Let me know if you face any problems, and I will personally look into it.  

Waiting for Tourney #2  

I will post it in a few hours.

You always play with the sportsman's spirit. You are the one who got knocked out by AK (lm) ? That was a great bluff when he said ''gotta go'' lol. And you are right, comeback of mv is inevitable.

After the successful conduction of Betpanda.io Bounty Hunter Poker League, League Tournament 1st, 30th March 2025. I am about to post the schedule of 2nd League Tournament, which will be held on 6th April 2025. I am posting this as many members suggested that I change the time slot of the tournament. So will you be more comfortable if I pre-pone the tournament a couple of hours, like 3 PM, UTC or are you OK with 5 PM?
I am quoting all the players from the 1st League Tournament. Also, if you want to suggest anything, just tell me I will surely try to match your expectations

Hi memehunter, mybe I agree if 3 PM UTC.

[arallmuus]

Totally okay with this, some new folks might join us if we start earlier though

Well this is uncalled for. The decision time and time bank is actually perfect, if you want to speed up the tournament then reduce the interval on each blind instead.

You could actually use the blind calculator to set up better blind structure depending on how many hours you want the tournament to run.

https://pokersoup.com/tool/blindStructureCalculator

This is actually a pretty good tool to use though. You can simply put in how many hours you want it to run ideally starting blind and number of players then the calculator will count up the ideal blind structure

True, and some old ones will have a better experience

I took the decision based on the feedback of many members. Many members are just taking the whole initial time every time. Thanks for suggesting this new tool. I guess you always learn new things .
If you think 15 seconds is bit faster how about 20? I am not in favour of reducing blind structures. Based on your recommendation I guess I can slightly increase the time bank and reduce the number of hands it requires to auto fill so that players will have ample time to think, but initial time has to be less. Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate your proactiveness.

20 seconds plus the additional recharge of the time bank sounds acceptable to me. 15 seconds can be really short when there is a very tough call or fold to make. But with the recharging time bank, it should be fine.

@memehunter you had some tough calls and folds to make last time, don't underestimate 20 seconds of time The 7/8 bluff was a crucial moment in the tournament as it could have boosted your stack by a lot or cost you the whole tournament if you are wrong. That is of course the goal of that bet size. One important piece of info was my own chip stack. Would and could I have afforded that move with much less chips? Since I could, I did in this case. Doesn't mean I will always do  

What a nice coincidence that April's fools was about poker too. Somehow hoping that maybe a few people get aware about this poker series and join.

Its part of the game. Let that person take all the time he wants, why force someone to act quickly just because other people are bored waiting. Poker is a boring game to begin with because it could takes up hours without any guarantee for you to win anything. If people want a fast paced game then go play slot instead of poker

There is no reason to use 'turbo/hyper' time bank structure in a normal paced game, Might as well just change the entire game into turbo mode instead

I don't agree with this. People using almost the full time bank every single time are just annoying and takes the fun and flow out of every game. Please think about people participating (plenty of people from Asia) where it's night time already. Needing 2 minutes for 1 hand just prolongs the whole thing unnecessarily.
Problem is, most people act slow because they are doing something else and not focus on the game. I mean you don't need 25 seconds to decide if you want to fold preflop, right?
It's not a big ask to act in a timely manner. If you don't have time to have the table open maybe you shouldn't play in the first place.

I am happy to announce that bepanda.io has doubled the bounties for all players. Now there is every reason to go degen at poker tables . Now you will get a $10 bounty per knock out. IMO it shows that betpanda.io is serious about making sure that community events happen on a regular basis.  
This is also a great chance to improve your ranking towards the Grand Finale   . Here is the link to our 2nd league tournament: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5537094.0
LFG.  

There is an additional $40 bounty on mv1986 head as he survived the first battle

I would like to live up to that promise and add $20 on my own head. Should I win, I will add $20 for the next round, totaling $40 on my head. Should I win again, I will add $20 again.

I have also adjusted and readjusted   initial time and total time bank for taking the decision based on feedback from reputed members.

Hi memehunter, mybe I agree if 3 PM UTC.

+1 on this. If the schedule for the next tournament is like this, I'll definitely join again. But if it's the same as before, I might not join for now because last time, I had something to do but couldn't because I stayed up late for the tournament. lol
I also want to confirm that I have already received the prize from this tournament and completed the wager requirement. The sad part I didn’t withdraw it since I played it on slots and lost it all.

Edit: Didn;t noticed that memehunter already start new tournament with 3pm UTC time., Joined.

The bounty will hopefully get some more people to join. Thanks for starting the next thread for the next round @memehunter and I would like to encourage everyone to join us. $50 in total on my head so far. Maybe we can look forward to some new faces here as well.
The April 1st merit poker event had some of you guys join the tables, why not here: not really anything to lose except for a $1 and the time to set up a Betpanda.io account.

Check out the 2nd tournament of this series here.

From what I see, most of the gamblers in this forum are more interested in slot games. So maybe that's why this tournament doesn't have many participants. Even though there are a lot of gamblers in this forum.

I can't wait to fight you at the same table. Just kidding

The last time, I overplayed my 10s against you because of sheer greed  , this time I will be more careful and don't you dare to bluff me like this ever again. I have decided that I will call every time just to avoid humiliation. I mean, I have to have some respect for myself
#calleverytimewhenmv1986raises
This 2nd league tournament will be about stopping you only, I do not even care about the prize. be ready 

I can't wait to fight you at the same table. Just kidding

Maybe we all should collude just to stop him  . It is getting very emabarassing for all of us that he is winning every single event
