nice finish yesterday in poker with steve, @BitcoinGirl.Club.
Thanks, it was fun.
I only saw arallmuus on a table but none others. I was looking for you, Trofo, betwrong and some others. This is first time I won something from Poker with Steve.
When I am well prepared, mentally and is in good mood, I can stay long time. I hope in the upcoming tourney on SwC I do not lose my patience like last time 🤪

Give up when you and me have a rally

or

Just announce someone who I knock out and give me those 2.5k chips 🤪

What I mean by all these is you are doing really good thing to keep this party alive. You really don't need to. Those who love the community and enjoying poker they will continue. Excuse is not what we expect.

pagal27 is my swc username. I have to reset my password as it was made long time ago.
Thanks in advance for such chance.

Cool, I have sent you 1000 chips:



The tournament is already up for registration (Sunday 5pm UTC). I will send you the password via PM, please note that there is no late registration.

Not sure, if you are familiar with our structure, but you will get at least 10 tickets for an internal lottery with your participation, which will be held after 8 tournaments somewhere in August. So if you don't become a regular player, you should check this thread the latest in August then again to see, if you won something in the lottery. But maybe you like our series afterall and will participate regularly, albeit being busy on PokerStars at the same time when we play Smiley

Good luck for Sunday.

Very nice Smiley

I will be adding two "Independence Day Weekend Wild Cards" for Sundays tournament. So if any of you lurkers wants to join the next tournament for free, just post your SwC handle in this thread and I will send you the buy-in. There are only two prerequisites: 1) You didn't participate in any of the 17 tournaments yet, i.e. you are complete newbie to our series. 2) You are not a Newbie in this forum. Don't be shy, we are friendly folks, who just like to play some poker and suck each other out from time to time. First come, first serve.

If I fail to give out the two wild cards for this Sunday due to low interest, they will be rolled over to the next tournament on July 12th.

@efialtis
I sent you the 800 chips extra fee for those two wild cards.

Very nice extra motivation for all of us. Thanks for spicing things up.

Given how you have been killing sportsbet lately I guess you maxed out your BTC wallets and now you have to get rid of excess spare change  Grin

I will try to be there, after all, this is last poker with Steve and I want to see him at least once on my table. I didn't register yet since I am not sure I will be able to attend but will do my best. Hope for as much familiar faces on my table as possible. It makes the game so much more fun.
Last poker?
I must miss the information. Too sad if Steve make it the last one. I never won anything yet 🤪
Fact is, another excitement day of the week will over for me.

Thank you! I won no prizes myself, but I consider 5 points and 15 lottery tickets is better than nothing. Smiley What I like about the current structure is that every one of you guys who participated, earned 10 lottery tickets. Each participant is rewarded!
You are welcome.

I stand with Ukraine.

I hate pocket Aces. Every time I get them I lose, unless I go all-in right away. Yesterday was no different. I didn't want to go all-in in the beginning of the game, so I just raised a bit pre-flop, and was called by Goethe and SuckMyChips. Then I raised almost 10 BB after the flop, thought it would be enough for the villains to fold, but this was what happened:
Probably Goethe decided to bluff, and SuckMyChips ... well, I thought he had had pocket Js, 7s or 9s, so I folded. (I'm dying to know what he really had though. Smiley )
That's how I lost more than 20% of my chips in the very beginning (with pocket Aces!).
That's tough you might have been up against a flopped straight or yes a set, but tough to say with no 3-bet pre. I likely would have played the call, you might have been up against KK,QQ or even Top Top. Either way good run.
~

Yeah, later I thought I should have called, probably. A villain could have AJ, and would go all-in after flopping a Jack.



Although we'll never know the turn and river cards to be sure, the probability of me winning in that case was very high.

Congratulations to the ones who earned some points and won some prize too. I hope I will be in a good mode next week.

Yes you was quite impatience last night , I hope you will be doing great next weekend. I was the one that knocked you out yesterday with my pocket Aces. I cant really fold when I got pocket aces on my hand so I just kinda go with the flow . IIRC you raise quite high and I just kinda go all in with my pocket aces, Golden opportunity for me as that kind of card was rare atleast for me  Cheesy

I got knocked out at 9th though lol

I really did not have a chance. I had a K but I got the pair in the River but I was rising before and the only reason was I was bored and feeling impatience. Then against betwrong or someone else I guess when I had 1400 chips I lost all, I knew I was going to lose but did not bother much.

Yeah, next week may be I will join you guys with a fresh mood.

tough break on that set over set hand, @Steamtyme. that gets me every time!
Yeah all I could do is laugh. I'm never not going broke in that spot. I took solace in the fact that I was behind from the start so it's easier to live with. Better than the night before where I got it in good 5X only to suffer some of the grossest beats ever.
AA flatting from HJ (2.5BB) , with 1 caller before me and BB jams (29 BB) Magic especially when I see 24 of diamonds. He runs out a straight Huh

Has the nerve to pretend he was just trying to get knocked out, and not just being a donk jamming assuming it would get through.

i'm out in 10th place, at least i made it past the points bubble, just barely.....
I saw you make your last stand. Not much you can do there.
heh thanks, 5 people left. Im in last now.
And that's me. Thanks everyone. Good luck
Good run buddy. Yeah FT situations need a bit of balance. Especially if you are chip leading, better to let the smaller stacks knock themselves out fighting for pay jumps and/or position and only getting into spots that are really good for you, position wise and strong hole cards. Then again on a really passive fold heavy table you can mix in there and steal blinds.

Either way congrats.
winner winner chicken dinner  Grin
gg everybody
snagged 2nd in the little btc but couldnt do anything right in the med or big btc. Dont think i got one playable hand in 2.5 hours in the big  Angry so frustrating. another fun poker-filled sunday!
Congrats on both. My Big BTC run was annoying, I had great playable hands early that fell flat and left me very short.

See everyone next week. This video will be a bit clunky for whatever reason at the 2.75 hour mark it stopped recording saying maximum length. I missed about 20 minuted I think, but got the end with a second recording. I'll get it up sometime this week.

I was out before anyone else. I wonder how long the tourney took to finish. I was kinda impatience and then gone wild and lost all my chips. I think after 45 minutes when I saw we were still 17 out of 17 then I realized this is going to be a long game and I do not have that much time. Honestly speaking I was not enjoying the game last evening.

Congratulations to the ones who earned some points and won some prize too. I hope I will be in a good mode next week.

I got knocked out at 9th though lol

Edit : Second thought, it wasnt me and IIRC You were left with less than 400 chips but you did make some comeback then to lose all again . My bad

Congrats to all of you that have done well yesterday. I was out quite early yesterday but I had fun nevertheless and that is all that matters to me. Glad our series has started again and I plan to continue my participation streak. I have to be best at something  Cool
