Crypto Poker Season 2026 ♦️ 8th Aug - 26th Sep ♦️ Cash $6,000+ [Discussion]

[el che]

Right on! It’s been a minute since I last played poker but this contest definitely caught my attention. Playing against other community members sounds like a blast! Can anyone give me the rundown on who the sharks and the fishes are around here? Hahaha...

Sounds good, count me in! I'll be sending over my entry fee shortly.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I do and will likely not gonna miss this. This is probably the huge tournament for this year and there's a lot at stake to miss tbh. Well, meme will probably join and hope so, it's getting lively when he's on the table whether just doing it to bluff or getting serious, love that man. Don't promise brother, make it by getting whitelisted, the time is favorable plus some of the folks that likes poker and a hangout will join. It's a healthy competition.

Did you already sent the one time whitelist fee already mate? Kinda confuse with some information like can join all set of rounds right when you paid the whitelist fee? The ticket discuss $50 was that segregated from the whitelist fee? Let see bro Im still in huge financial commitment due to my personal situation these past month if youre aware which was shared in our local and hope can salvage funds for this.


Btw do you also having this security message when accessing pokernow?


Im always joining pokernow free tournaments from discord projects but never triggered with this.

Hey kabayan, I think you are susing PLDT as your internet provider. Pokernow is banned on their list as a casino.
Its been 6 months now since I used PLDT with my poker adventure. You can use VPN or Globe internet.

Have you ever played a freeroll? Look at this like a freeroll cause the players are super loose and love to see flops. If you can dodge the minefield 100 times you will make some money. I would advise super tight play and be very aggressive when you flop a monster as people don't like to fold.

Yes kabayan, I think even Converge too since my internet provider is not pldt. But like you said using Globe Internet will work. Btw did you joined already? Or send funds for the whitelist?

So the final entry for it is a day before the first challenge or game right?

[AB de Royse777]

I would like to have attention from everyone on this:

Whitelisting for the group rounds: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5588936.0
Please do not enroll with multi account. One person = one enrollment otherwise you will lose your position from all accounts.

This is not a platform specific tournament but a tournament which is open for everyone from the Crypto community. However, please be careful that you have not enrolled with more than one account. You will be banned if found.

So things haven't changed much at all! That's a pretty similar description to how freerolls used to be some 20 years ago.

I've definitely had my fair share of freerolls on Partypoker and Pokerstars back in the day. I remember having to grind through massive fields of 10,000+ players, where all you really had to do was triple up your starting stack early, sit out, wait to coast into the paying spots and collect a couple of bucks. Eventually, you'd build up just enough of a bankroll to sit at a $0.01/$0.02 microstakes table.

Those were the days when you had no major responsibilities and could comfortably sit playing poker for 12+ hours a day! Nowadays for a tournament like this, I have to completely reorganize my schedule just to secure a couple hours of peace and quiet away from the kids and wife, even though uninterrupted peace is never guaranteed, hah!

[AB de Royse777]

Sorry nutildah, I don't appreciate the unkind behavior but I can not fix someone too so I accept the block however. I need to tell you that I have no plan to allow sockpuppet accounts and this is not a fake tournament. There are serious money and hard work placed in this work. It's an open tournament and bitcointalk users get a chance to join it.

Just to let you know that the following message I was about to send before realizing that you blocked my PM.

Code:

[quote author=nutildah link=action=profile;u=317618 date=1785784475]
[quote author=AB de Royse777 link=action=profile;u=366632 date=1785760031]
Sorry, this is something I am not appreciating bud, I don't know what you mean by that. This is Crypto Poker, not any platform specific. We will have players from other communities too. So even if the above user found bought account but he has not enrolled from any other account -  I can not do anything, it's logical to react when same person found using multiple account. They will be banned immediately.
[/quote]

What I mean is you are openly encouraging sockpuppet accounts to register for the tournament. That's fraud. Nobody should trust anything you put your name behind. Save yourself the embarrassment next time and don't tag me in your fake tournaments.
[/quote]
Sure I will remove you from the list which I use to tag poker buddies. 

I have no plan to allow sockpuppet accounts, this is not a fake tournament. [b]It's an open tournament and bitcointalk users gets a chance to join it.[/b] I always admire your intelligence when finding alt accounts and if you can then help me to find same person whitelisted using different identity. I will take action.
 
By the way, by any chance - did I make you upset with anything? I really don't understand why you are so harsh towards me when choosing your words.

Appreciate you are taking time to write.

Cheers,

[guffie]

instead of messing around with pokernow, have you thought about contacting the team at the poker site PlayBlind.com ? theyre pretty open to opening new tournaments and tables, i understand they made one for debank users etc. and their site has no rake or anything, probably the best poker site at the moment (but they dont accept btc so ill deduct a few points)

while I think playblind is relatively decent for what it is (despite the shitty old UI), pokernow is better for things like community games, it is totally open and no deposits required etc.

[arallmuus]

I've definitely had my fair share of freerolls on Partypoker and Pokerstars back in the day.

I can totally tell you that this is worse. The field is just on a whole another level. 10-15 minutes on the table, you will understand what Im talking about  

Its also my main reason of avoiding so many freerolls on bitcointalk ( Paying $30 for 6 games pretty much similar to freerolls at this point ) but I guess Ill give in for the community and join this time

We planned to make some changes and it will be reflected on the ann soon.

- Instead of top 20 players now the $5 bounty will be applied for all players.
-  For the grand final any additional unused tickets will be refunded

Nice changes, Im gonna send in mine on mid week

pokernow is better for things like community games, it is totally open and no deposits required etc.

Actually clubgg is a good option. Pretty good UI since its run by ggpoker but the downside is that, you cant display the sponsor name and the apps needs to be downloaded

- Instead of top 20 players now the $5 bounty will be applied for all players.
-  For the grand final any additional unused tickets will be refunded.
- We made changes on grand final prize structure too. 1st place will receive $1000 and the 10th place will receive $180.

All changes now reflects on the main topic.

Cheers,

Well i decided to give it a try, i sent the whitelist transaction and also made the post in the proper G&R thread, i hope everything is fine and we can have a decent tournament, i hope the organizer can prevent shit accounts and multiples ones from taking part on this one so we can start to make this one grow in the future.

One last question, i dont know if i can play every saturday, that is not a problem right?

And the pokernow register is strange right? You just have to provide an email and their send the code and that is all? So whe  log in again is in the same way? No password at all?.

You can play whenever you can on Saturdays, missing a qualifier is just your choice, but has no other consequences. Keep in mind though that every round is worth it because for a single knockout you get $5 and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd are pretty well paid given the buy-in. And of course a ticket for the grand final if you finish 1st.

Yes, pokernow registration is just the email and then you get the code, no password.

Nice to see you around

We have 33 players whitelisted so far. This is going to be an awesome season.

Osas4real, Teethow, osasshem, el che - you need to book your seat on PokerNow for the first round: https://www.pokernow.com/mtt/cpt2026-game-1-uEMAEbb64W

[MVPoker]

Hi guys,

as pokernow.com does not automatically count knockouts, you will have to submit your knockout hands via the following link:

Report knockout hands

All the knockouts will be collected in an excel sheet:

Summary knockouts

And no worries, if there are minor issues, we get them resolved. If you can't find it right away, feel free to shoot me a PM.


In order to avoid any confusion in a multi-way knockout:

Player A and player B are tied, but both beat player C --> bounty shared

Player B (middle stack) beats player A (high stack) and player C (low stack) --> Player B gets the full bounty because they truly won the hand.

Looking forward to seeing you guys at the tables!

Check in started, you have 10 minutes to check in. See you all in the table.

for a single knockout you get $5

Check in started, you have 10 minutes to check in. See you all in the table.

So each knockout only cost $5? I not even sure why put check in there considering everyone paid $30 for 6 games so its $5 each to get in so why are you guys trying to save that $5 by limiting people?

Im done arguing since its pointless, I'll see you guys next week I guess if I remember to check in because its too weird limiting people from sitting out since this is not a freeroll

Well i take out one guy from the first tabble so is one KO for me, i submit it in the spreadsheet let me know if it correct.

One thing i dont like is the check in since im not sure if im gonna be on time always.

Aside of that it was a good first try, maybe alittle bit "long" at the start but if we increase the blinds so much is gonna be super short, so is ok.

I dont play Poker from a long time and only some individuals games. I have two bad hands or bad luck on them when i went with all and that takes me out.

Im now looking for the next one! See you there.
