GG everyone!

You only needed 19 points to make the grand finale in the first series, now that threshold is up to 27 points. This goes to show how competitive are games have been. Too bad for those who missed it by a few points, and congrats to those who qualified. Iv4n will miss the final game for the first time, he was the only one to make the finale in the first two series.

Sunday works for me!

As for today's game, it's an understatement if i say i was dealt some crazy cards. In the first hour i had: 3x pocket Aces, 2x pocket JJ, pocket Kings, pocket 66 to a flopped set, pocket 44 to a flopped set. I was able to cash in on some of those hands for a change. Grin

I had to sit out for a minute to take a phone call (pocket Aces), this might have been an early exit for me vs Iv4n's full house:

Ask and you shall receive @tykiwanuka!

I just entered the available tickets in the random.org generator and got 5 results (1 was a re-roll as Globb0 hit it twice) and I came up withe this list:

1192 - Iv4n
1072 - Globb0
1769 - Beethoven92
1085 - Globb0 VOID
854 - Betwrong

I don't know if you like this or not, but I did it as soon as I saw who had what tickets so correct me if I'm wrong and let me know if it's all good

Dang 3 out 4 winners are not the finalist for the Grand Finale so this is like a consolidation prize for them.

Getting 7700 chips is kinda like getting the first place on one qualifier,

Edit: Damn, hhampuz was fast, no luck for me. You needed to do a bit of ceremony not just like that, build a suspense and stuff like that

Yeah, some suspense is definitely needed to build up tension. Perhaps some drumroll would be nice Tongue

Quote from: efialtis on August 16, 2020, 03:38:07 PM

No way - we will find a date that works for everybody of course... this is a FINALE! Worst case I will postpone it for one week to August 30th so everybody can watch the Champions League Finale next week and be fully concentrated for the only real finale. Wink

Next sunday is good for me. I am good with multitasking, in fact I played all 7 qualifers in this 3rd season while watching youtube videos to keep my mind focus Grin

otherwise I kinda lose focus too easily during the game especially after the first break

Sorry Trofo! Was thinking of doing something special but then I also just wanted to push it out as fast as possible so there's no question about possibly gaming the system. Thank god I didn't win haha.

Why 'F' and 'R' are so close on keyboard, jeeezz!!
I wanted to fold instead it raised the bet. Free chips to Trofo!

That was very nice from you

It was a pleasure playing up with you guys and I hope we will continue to meet over the green tables. Looking forward to loterry, maybe I will finally get something to reward my perfect attendance record

Big thanks to efialtis for organizing this and even bigger thanks to tyKiwanuka for stepping up and doing lots of background work. Your effort guys is much appreciated.

Regarding the Finale - shall I try to move it from Sunday to Saturday - would that be fine for all you sharks? That is if I hear back soon enough from SwC of course... Wink

either day works for me. i'm pretty open.

any word on the runner's up game? it'd be cool to run it at the same time.

if only we could get SwC to ease up on the chat restrictions. i hate not being able to respond at the table. i plan to grind up the krill one of these days but just haven't had much time to play outside of our weekly games. i'm also kinda worried they are just gonna jack up the krill requirement again.

EDIT: dang, was hoping to claw back some value in the lottery but no dice. congrats to the winners! this definitely hasn't been my series so far! only one cash IIRC. at least 9-man is more my game than 18-27 mans. see everyone in the final.....

Not gong to lie personally I would like to see the final stay on the original date in question. Last series I was in the middle of working night shifts and had requested something similar to no avail. So I sucked it up and made it work. This is sports( I know finals and whatnot)... I get it if people have tickets to go live or something but if the plan is to watch it on TV or something; i think we have to multitask.

I know I'm clear for Sunday can't confirm Saturday, so I'd have to check. Given it doesn't work for someone else already I'd say it's not a good idea to change it. Either way I'll make due as always and work with whatever is best for the group.

Sunday works 100% for me, weekend after should be fine too.

There are 4 prizes á 7,700 chips to be won, 1,810 tickets were given out in total. I allocated them according to the rankings. Each player can only win once. Ticket numbers are drawn with a random number generator by @Hhampuz and will get posted here in this thread (but I don't know when^^)

Example: First number generated is the 77, bitmutiny has won a prize. The rest of his tickets are voided. If the random number generator spits out one of his ticket numbers again, a new number will get generated, until a non-void number shows up.

@efialtis If @BitcoinGirlClub wins a prize, I would wait with sending it to his account, until he confirms, he has control over it again. Since he does owe @figmentofmyass 2,000 chips, we could also think about repaying his debt this way.

goddamn it, another bubble, seriously? @Hhampuz is so lucky against me, every single time. he's raising every single hand, i have him dominated of course, jam in his face---and of course he hits his 2-outer. dude is consistently the luckiest guy in our series.

and no, i'm not bitter at all! Tongue

you guys are seriously lucky i run so bad in our games. one of these days it'll turn around. losing all the 60-40s is one thing, but these 80-20s fucking hurt! on the bubble no less......

you're welcome for handing you the ITM, @Improved! Wink

Lol. And I'm out. Followed behind FOMA the hand immediately after I believe. I think I opened, AKoff and they 3-bet me so I jammed. Hhampuz had TT for the second hand in a row and got themselves another knockout. I'm not salty as I was at least behind although it was a flip.

Funny he hit a straight but if he had hit a set again I could have made my straight.

Great game today.

Ah! I think I am out! Steamtyme and Improved already made to the finals. Iv4n won't clear on average even if he wins the tournament tonight so Hhampuz will be the third one. I will most probably end on 10th or 11th spot. Bad luck!

I am out! Steam won with ace on river, on river! I don't have luck with cards for weeks, it's like I'm cursed!
Well this time I will miss final table, but for sure I will try to be better in the next series! Except one win in this series all other games were a total disaster!
I hope we will have a loser tournament next week!

ouch---been there! Undecided

final table time. i'm just beginning to sober up lol. it's been fun playing LAGgy and short-handed since we only had 12 runners---not surprising since it's the last qualifier.

@Steamtyme has been talking to himself in the chat for 2 hours. what a weirdo! Tongue

i hope those green boxes on the spreadsheet are correct---i can't do all the math right now. supposedly @bitmutiny, @arallmuus, @tyKiwanuka, me, @morvillz7z, and @Betwrong are all in the final already!

@Improved, @Steamtyme, @Hhampuz, @Iv4n, and @webtricks are fighting for the last 3 spots. good luck all!
