♠️♥️♣️♦️ SwC Bitcointalk Poker Series Discussion and registration [NL HOLD'EM]

[AB de Royse777]

Just a quick question for the 1st round winners, was the withdrawal smooth? I mean, how did it go? Were they able to withdraw their prize, or did they end up playing it until they lost it? Which happen to me most of the time.. lol

Mv mentioned that it was successfully withdrawn.

Wanted to confirm that I received my prize money and withdrew it successfully.

The withdrawal was working for me but only because my prize reached the minimum threshold for withdrawals. You need at least 0.0005 BTC in your account or otherwise you can't withdraw. Only the first prize winner reaches that minimum threshold if no other deposits have been made. Other than that, withdrawals work but take some time.

Whether that min withdrawal requirement will be lifted or not, I don't know, but for now I think it still stands.

Who got your bounty?

[mv1986]

Who got your bounty?

@GxSTxV please send a BTC address over via PM so I can send you $15 for knocking me out. Well played.

This wasn't my day, I think I played three hands the whole time and those hands were bad hands. I literally blinded out by the antes and then was left with 8 BB and well yes, there is no coming back at some point, so I went with it when GxSTxV had AK. Could as well have had any hand I guess, let's see who makes it into the prize money.

Now another week of waiting to get this right again

@Royse I think it wasn't your day either?

[arallmuus]

Mentioning the players so that they receive notifications. Out of 33 I sent registration url, 31 seated so far. 2 are missing :-D

One of the two people that didnt make it I guess. Sorry I was actually waiting for this a whole week but I had something to attend to earlier today and I was late by 30 minutes when I read the mail that you sent


Anyway, is there a way to check the running game? I cant seems to find it though at the lobby, its either its locked since its technically a private game or the game has ended when I check it which probably not the case because the previous one run for almost 2 hours (?)

It seems like a bad day for some players like AB de Royse777, mv1986, memehunter and nutildah knocked out early.  I think xLays will be in the top 3. However, it had to be eliminated, too.

Royse count me in round 3

---------------------------------
Could we arrange a "classic" distribution of In-the-money places for next two rounds ?
For example, distribution in normal SWC tournaments:

players    places paid

15-19     3
20-23     4
24-34     5
35-47     6

The problem with just 3 prizes is early stage brainless gambling, especially in fourth tournament, where only first place really counts for promotion to the final.

What Improved says here is correct. Following an ITM structure should be the way to go for any of the next series we are going to have. With the structure that is now in place, 1st place in any given tournament is automatic grand final qualification. If I am not mathematically wrong here, there is no way to push anyone with a 1st place in any of the four tournaments out of the top 6.

We now have
500
500
300
300
200
200

This is as distributed as it can get. Any double top 3 is good for anyone who is in the top 6 after the first round. If now those with 200 each win one tournament each, we have
700
700
500
500

and we assume that the 300, 300 both become 2nd again.

700
700
600
600
500
500
.

Changing the structure now is a problem. Next time we should have a quick discussion about it and come up with a solution that allows for more players to compete until the end.

One thing that has not been considered yet is what we do in case of a draw?

There are ways to resolve this, but I suggest they play an additional 4 way table.

[Alone055]

Congratulations to today's winners. I got knocked out in 13th position, and it was my own mistake because I thought my opponent was bluffing when I had a pair of 2s.

Lots of ways to resolve this for sure but you know whats my favourite?  First hand all in, leave your fate to the hands  We could even do this on pokernow to resolve this as quick as possible after the 4th game before the grand final

Well actually the old poker tournament in swc actually uses point system so eventhough the prizes are only for top 3, all other players that make it to the final table will have a chance to play in grand finale

Lets say the final table is max 8 then 8th place will be getting 1 point, 7th place getting 2 points etc etc and 1st place getting 8 points. Points gathered throughout the weekly competition will be the final standing for the tickets to grand finale but I guess we cant really change the rules midway huh

Unfortunately no late registration. Better luck on next Monday.

Count me in on next monday, Im setting my alarm for sure this time !

[nutildah]

Thought I'd do better this time but I ended up doing slightly worse... Was off to a good start, was #1 for the first half hour or so, but then I made a couple of bad calls & got nothing but shitty cards. Except for when I had a full house, Jacks full of Kings. Went all in, and so did two opponents, who were incidentally holding Kings, lol. So it was a bad beat by not one but two players. That's the way she goes.

[tsaroz]

That was good tactics raising your chips with only high cards memehunter 😁. Ekslays bro was like - I'm dealer eat or be eaten. It was fun playing with you guys. Last one xlays hit a three of a kind and mine was two of pair. He throws me from the table. My position was 15

lol I too was eliminated in similar fashion with my two pairs vs xlays three of a kind. Hope I'll do better next time.
