Hey guys,

congrats to yesterday's winners - that was another fun tournament with my personal highlight being SyGambler (not even logged in) reaching final table and even earning 3 points...

My friend tyKiwanuka just notified me that it's my 1 year bitcointalk anniversary! What better way to "celebrate" this than a bounty on my head in tonight's tournament?!  Whoever manages to knock me out - and that will be very hard of course - will receive a 3k chips reward in his SwC account!

See you at the tables guys, until then, have a nice Sunday!

Good game indeed!

Thanks for waiting me! Probably my first instinct would be the same, but as it seems we have a nice audience that helps with good advices! A huge thanks to everyone! 

I'm sure we will have a nice game later, I can only hope I will have as much luck with some hands as I had last night! That would be a nice streak for me!

See you later at the tables, I wish you a nice game and lucky hands!

Good game, everyone!

Initially my aim was to take the 7th place. The logic behind that was the following:

7th place - 4 points

8 tournaments, 4x8=32, with 32 points I'd have good chances to qualify for the Grand Finale.

But with the help of big luck I managed to finish on the 2nd place. Man, I couldn't wish for more!

Congrats on the win, @Iv4n!

Thank you to all for participating!

And thank you guys, @figmentofmyass and @tyKiwanuka, for watching the game till the end! A game is surely more entertaining when there is an audience.

Special thanks to you, @tyKiwanuka, for giving me the advice to wait for Iv4n to reconnect. At first, following my base instincts, I started to devour Iv4n's chips, but then I saw your advice in the chat, and I stopped. Yes, I would've won, most likely, but I'd feel so shitty afterwards. Sometimes what we need is a good advice from an outside observer. Thanks for that, mate!

congratulations again to Iv4n the terrible 
i personally had good hands yesterday and could play for the first time on the final-table - i finished as 9th
my best placement so far

As expected from the previous winner 


I cant make it to the series as well because I got things to do . Lets hope that I could join Sunday's game. Some people could be showing up at week 2 or week 3 series after they check the standing of the tournament. To make sure they still have a decent chance to win and advance to the grandfinal

Kudos to whoever made that spreadsheet, it is great !   

LMAO I totally forgot about the tourney today and haven't checked the forums as well but got the news from your mention 
seriously how did I manage to last that long ? were there some crazy all-ins with several players getting knocked out or what ?

I need to start setting reminders for the events especially that I have online German courses each Saturday around the same time of the tourney

congrats on the win Iv4n, and well played Betwrong!


lol, pretty unbelievable.

there was one hand where i folded TT preflop because JTisCuban shoved, a big stack called, and SyGambler still had a couple hundred chips left. so there was a strong chance of a 2-point jump if i folded. flop ended up being Txx and they showed AK vs AQ, would have tripled up at a crucial time. damn ICM considerations!


i'm a little disappointed with the 18-player turnout. OTOH it's great value considering the money/prizes added to the championship prize pool. i know CoinEraser and big_daddy said they couldn't make it today and would probably be there tomorrow.

it's still a wide open series. lots of value still there for the taking......

Congrats, winning series #1 was no fluke it seems. You should also say thanks to @Betwrong, because he waited for you to reconnect while you were (forced to) sitting out in heads up Fair play from him

I have moved todays 200 chip fee to the third tournament next Saturday, hope this is ok. If not, just shoot

That's frustrating when it times out and you have a great hand.

It takes a bit of time to realise you are out. That person uses up their time then its like, hold on a minute its me whos gone out.

I can just say good game!
Many ups and downs for me, I had problems with ScW app, I had to restart computer several times. I had minor problems with connection, but this time it was madness, every time I had to restart computer and get in again!
See you tomorrow! I hope there will be more people than today!

@morvillz7z, your recovery from 325 chips to 4th place is one of the most mind-blowing thing I have ever seen. That 33399 against 3333 was criminal. I don't think I would have recovered from there. But three of a kind with QQQ made you win 3 good hands. Congo!

I don't know why I went all-in with 44 against FOMA. I just needed to fold 2 more times to get 3 instead of 1 point. That lucky SyGambler taking 3 points even without playing! Criminal!

Great guys and good luck.

I have decided to drop out, I was only cannon fodder anyway for the pros and my recent suggestions don't seem to have gained me any friends.

At a personal low at the moment so maybe some time one day.

Pleas remove me from any spreadsheets.

No animosity here. Good luck to all you guys in tournament 2.

I've no idea how i managed to get to 4th place and 7 points considering that i was down to 400-500 chips early in the game. Pulled a "ceehe" lol

Losing a full house to efialtis' four of a kind had me really pissed off for quite some time, though i was very close to get revenge on him:



Congrats to iv4n for winning game 1, starting where he left off!

sigh, managed to bubble again.

i was super card dead at the end. Pitkins and i were both short stacked, folded around to me w/ K9, couldn't fold it with 6bbs left. Iv4n called me with JT and managed to hit the flop. good game:



at least i'll walk away with 6 points towards the championship.....

That is the hardest thing in poker to just wait out your bad luck and keep yourself in play with few bluffs. 5K starting chips would help a bit. I usually don't have enough patience and then I start to bluff too often and somebody always calls you.

This was all for me today! Feeling fucked with the entire experience.



What a shitty round for me, unbelievable!

I rarely got common cards on the deck to make pairs. When I get strong hands in the pre flop, after flop my hands are useless. And most of the time I got like 23, 57 and all these shit cards. Few times got pairs in the pre flop and those are 33, 55, 77 I guess and always other's gone with big bet so I kinda fucked and could not take risk. When I get good cards (happened 3 times, not more than that I guess) Others always get the better one like Cygan and Iv4n won those big bets. When I was nearly finishing, Trofo got a good deal too but I was kinda frustrated that time and was not caring much.

In the last hand even thought after flop I did not have any match but with A10 I wanted to give my last shot and gone ALL IN with the hope that others will fold. But when dex called me then I got this feeling that he has a Q pair. I had nothing left by then but surprisingly Iv4n got better hand than him and result we both out!

Shit round for me and I want to forget this memory LOL

With every single call I made at Pre flop except one that was won by Iv4n on River with his J pair, I was expecting a match in the deck on Flop but every time I was losing my mind seeing no match. Really shit luck.

indeed, i could watch it live at the table.
it has not been your day today

The shittiest hands I am dealing with. No good cards. So far only few but others had better cards always! Lost a big hand against Cygan and the against Iv4n. I had K10 and on the deck at flop we had another k10 so I was pretty sure that I was going to get the hand but at River Iv4n got that J and he made KKJJ. Shit round for me so far!!!

Now counting to kick out in any moment. It's just too hard job now with not many chips left. Strange that I only had one of two times a match on the deck.

I can’t join you today  
Busy as hell... I hope that will join you tomorrow
I wish you all a great game and lot of fun

just woke up and sat down at the tables. good luck everyone!

we've got 17 runners at the start of the first game. there's still 50 minutes of late registration left---plenty of time left to join!


understood. oh well, next week!
