This is really crazy. I was on the road and had to compete against over 30 people and was so lucky to come in first place.  

Thank you SwC and Royse.

Congratulations to you len, I'm on the same table as yours. It's not luck, you're good!

back to back 3rd place😔but stil hope to Qualify for Final round

I remember it was you that I've also done an all-in, it was a do or die for me. If I've won, it will be a different story. Being on 3rd place isn't bad. And you're already qualified for the final round so congratulations to you too!

I can see that you are a fast learner

Honestly, I learn from you and always watch replays of your games.

Good for me that you did not take my side bet offer

Yesterday I had some work to do and couldn't accept your side bet offer.

Congratulations to you len, I'm on the same table as yours. It's not luck, you're good!

It was pure luck mate, look I always almost lose all my chips but yesterday was my day.

Don't say that, luck is there but you've got it well and you're good. That's all what it says there while it's true that it was your day. But you've beaten everyone who's also good and so, the best have remained and you're that guy. There is still no history on a come back winner here from the various rounds so, maybe it will be you that shall make that on the next round or anyone from the next rounds but hopefully, someone new will emerge.

I will play round #4 and username is Dump3er.

This is now going to be my final try. In it to win it, anything else won't do it I think. Last time I was doing ok for a long time, but then I think I made some mistakes and my opponents hit everyone of their hands right on the flop. That is when you have to realize that none of your bluffs will ever work. It is not likely that the others always hit the fkop with top pair, but this time it was like that. Maybe I should have played more careful, but some other time it would be the right play.

On Monday we will know who will have the privelege to play the final table.

In the last round I lost quite sadly. I am too confident about the superiority of the cards I have. And it turns out someone has a better card.

That's also what I have realized and noticed. Everyone is very careful and when I did some bluffs too, it just retaliated back to me. But sometimes, they do work but on this tournament, it's hard to try it with others who are so careful.

Maybe I should have played more careful, but some other time it would be the right play.

Even with that, I've tried to be careful but some plays are triggering and despite that the tables will pass for another round, I want to do it on that actual round and it's simply because of being emotional.

Please register me for Round #4, thanks: nutildah1

Honestly I'm better at poker in a physical setting is what I'm learning. I can place pretty decently in real world tournaments on occasion. This online stuff is very different from me but honestly I should try to get better at it. The fastness of the blinds & ante kinda put me off, as does the change in how you're supposed to try to figure out whether someone is bluffing or not. Anyway, maybe I'll do better in this last one, now that I have some good practice under my belt.

[Alone055]

as does the change in how you're supposed to try to figure out whether someone is bluffing or not.

You'll barely be able to figure that out if someone is very good at it. That's the challenging part of online poker, because you don't see a person's facial expressions, which is what usually reveals if someone is bluffing or not (unless they are very good at acting and don't let their expression get changed after looking at the cards) if you are at a physical poker table.

Someone who is good at bluffing in online poker will always perfectly time their reaction when it's their turn. If someone makes a slight mistake, you can understand whether they are bluffing or not. For example, if someone goes for "Check" instead of going for a bet after making a few bets in previous betting rounds, you can think that they are probably bluffing; otherwise, they would go for another bet if they actually had a good hand.

In real poker this is not difficult to disguise. So many of the players are wearing sunglasses and hoodies with the actual hood all over their head into the face. I agree that it is still possible to have reads on opponents when you can physically see them, but it's no guarantee that all other players will give you the opportunity to have a read on their physical reactions unless they are showing it straight into your face and your view. They usually take a physical position or posture that doesn't allow their opponents to write a whole book about them. Not to mention that some players understand how to confuse you intentionally with wrong signals from their body.

Last round, I got knocked out pretty badly and it was like a bit of revenge from mv1986 haha since I had eliminated him in last tournament. Honestly I was aiming for a top 3 place finish to secure a spot in the Grand Finals tried to bluff many times but it’s getting tougher with each round. The competition is much stronger now, lots of smart plays, heavy bluffing and solid strategies all around.

I’m wondering what if I manage to finish 2nd or 3rd in this fourth and final round, do I still have a chance to qualify? Overall, these series are very fun and entertaining, we started with few people and look at us now

The qualifiers are about to be over and I realize how quickly these four weeks went by. Everyone who is not yet qualified will have a last chance to get their food in the door to the SwC Bitcointalk Poker Tournament Grand Final on June 23rd.

This what the table says so far.

Finishing 3rd gives you 200 points and that is not enough. 1st place will take one seat in the Grand Final and then for 2nd and 3rd in the last qualifier it depends. The safest way to qualify is simple, finish 1st in the next qualifier.
