Texas Hold'em and Omaha/Omaha8 Poker Room - NL, Limit, Potlimit games

[bitbetter]

I've found bitcoins only month ago, but it really represents something I thought about. And I really like the fact this is open source project.

As a first my project where I am going to use bitcoins - I created poker room which accept bitcoins and only bitcoins.

Address of the project - https://betco.in

Any discussion are welcome!

I hate hijacking threads, but I have, at least, something relevant to add. BitBetter.org is also conducting poker games, but with no rake. You win, you get the whole pot. Check us out if you're bored and you love poker. 10 people max, can do high/low bitcoin buy-ins.

I just woke up and I need my poker fix!!! This update (in my head) is taking too long! Need poker fix now!

[anisoptera]

Back up now. Sorry about that!

Can we see 5-player sit-and-gos where the top three players win prizes. 

3rd place wins 20% of pool, 2nd place wins 30% of pool and first place wins 50% of the pool (5 entry fees = pool)

This model can be used with any price buy-in  Buyins could be 1 BTC, 2, BTC, 5 BTC, 10 BTC, 20 BTC, ect. ect. 

Any special reason for 5 player? 6 is standard.

[pokermon919]

down again darn..

[h2ofusion]

I'm hoping that us that were playing while the site was down don't get screwed out of our chips that we won during the maintenance.  Other than that, keep up the good work with fixing bugs and such.

[pokermon919]

any idea when the site will be back up?

The odds are better, the payout is much more inviting, and its just a more casual format.
5-mans were the old-school way sites did things.  it be nice to see some 5-mans going on.

Thanks for the consideration

You can run what ever type of game you want, even tournaments where the top players win certain amounts. In fact, you can even make a rake and keep it yourself.

Could you please at least try to keep the spam to once per page? I mean, twice in five posts? Really?

Anyway...

Server's back up, nobody lost anything! Sorry about the downtime.

Basically, we discovered a data corruption issue had made its way into production - it only corrupted the backend in specific scenarios; everything in memory was fine, until we took the server down. But it was logging errors when this happened; all the data we needed just had to be parsed back out of the logs.

So we locked the site to prevent anyone else from getting on, gracefully took the site down, worked out a fix (I haven't gotten much sleep or time with my family this weekend), restored the data (look ma, no rollback!) and now we're back up.

Thanks for flying betco.in!

Next up on my priority list is definitely tournaments - especially STTs. I'll be working on a more flexible way to create new tables at the same time. People who like obscure tournament formats will enjoy what's coming

[tomcollins]

Paying 3 players in a 5 player tourney is awful.

Winner take all!  Or if you must, 2 players paid, 60%-40%.

Accept my cashout asap please.

You could save your time if instead of contacting me over email + private message + icq + here by reading what site says you when you do withdrawal. To make sure you read it this time - it says that withdrawal will be processed within 24 hours.

suggestion: when there is a showdown the loser shouldn't be able to muck their hand. Although its recorded in the  hand history its a pain that i had to go through it to see what my opponent was playing with.

The loser is able to muck their hand if the winning hand is shown first. This is standard for all poker rooms.

You're able to see the hand because those hands are available on request in all poker rooms.

Could you please find hand # in My Account - Hands history for this game? Sounds like a bug.

[2weiX]

can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeee make players' timebank a little SMALLER? plays like molasses.

other than that: GREAT WORK!

Thanks for feedback! =)

As for time bank - each table have 5 limits. 1 - slowest, 5 - fastest (make sure you are on a good connection to server to play at table 5). Just browse available tables on the left and sit at one you like =)

Thing is - there's only ever one to three tables occuped AT ALL when i play (I'm on European Summer Time).

So I dont have much of a choice, really. Just get rid of the two slowest, if you would?

[hippich]

well.. i can't rid of them 'cos some people like slow play.. Just sit at fast table and may be join slow table and offer player to join fast table.

Regarding this bug, it has nothing to do with this link you posted. The link is about reopening the betting action.

Micon is saying that he had 29 chips left on river, opponent bet 22 to him and he could only call or fold, not raise his last 7 more chips.

I can confirm that this bug is indeed happening since the last update. You can recreate it yourself easily, just go to a table with two test accounts, and get in a similar situation on the river, where you bet more than half your opponent's stack. Try differing amounts, I'm not sure if it works with all different amounts, but I have had this happen to me several times now since the last server restart.

Also, another bug since the last server restart is sometimes you can't even raise allin when its a big raise size. Example: opponent has 1000 chips on river, I have 1000. He bets 25, I try to raise to 1000 but when I click raise the raise button doesn't process. I try over and over again to raise to 1000 but it doesn't work, I move the bar slightly down to 998 and it works. Or any other amount or clicking call works, just raising allin doesn't. I think it may have something to do with the superfluous fractions of chip that are kept in player chipstacks, like when you have 1000.25 and you bet allin it only bets 1000, and then the other player can raise you and then you have the option to call with your last 0.25 chips allin, or fold. I'm not sure if these bugs happen every time but I can confirm they have happened multiple times.

Also, a little more info on the freezes, freezing seems to be highly dependent on clicking rebuy, I freeze maybe 20% of the time when I click rebuy, as compared to 1% of the time normally.
