Gratz @bitmutiny Smiley

Standings after 7/8 tournaments:



The players in red can't qualify for Grand Final no more, bitmutiny is already qualified. I think @arallmuus and me are already qualified as well, but not 100% sure.

Our new probably regular player and Bracelet winner @kolloh isn't too lucky until now, still no point finish, but it was close today with 11th place Wink
My jinx-magic didn't work this time and @figmentofmyass keeps his point streak going with 9 in a row and counting.
As sadly expected, @BitcoinGirlClub ended his participation streak today and we are down to three (Betwrong, Trofo and morvillz7z).

Out on 3rd  Undecided. I think I found my kryptonite. I got pocket pair of Aces, Queen, Jack and Ten but Bitmutiny got better card than mine all of the time. Dang it , I collect all those chips from you guys just to give everything away to him  Cheesy

Gratz Bitmutiny for once again winning the 1st spot  Tongue , good game to everyone else

Got 3k chips in return, It is enough to cover my foolishness of losing 2k chips for the omaha game lol

You lucky bastard  Wink I had so nice hand with 3Q and you bluffed it and managed to get the flush in the end. This was one of hardest loses for me and just in time to kick me of the final table and some points.

Sorry buddy.  Smiley

Not so much bluff as unmatured hand or something?   Smiley

lol, you lucky dog. ace high + backdoor flush draw vs trips......not sure how you called there! i'm lucky i folded preflop. i almost called w/ KQo but wanted to play tight around the points bubble:



it was that call and a couple others that made be 3-bet jam into you w/ AQo later, since i felt you were playing like a bit of a maniac. of course you showed up with an actual hand this time! Roll Eyes



out in 7th.......

this was a tough beat for @Iv4n:



i semi-bluffed the nut flush draw the whole way, and got there on the river. then i saw him lose most of his chips on a preflop misclick a few hands later. sorry dude, shitty day!

I was skimming through all those tournament while waiting for my turn and I accidentally clicked and joined an Omaha tournament with 2mbtc buy in. I never play any Omaha before  Roll Eyes . If anyone can give me some quick tutorial then it would be nice lol. I read that I could create the best 5 cards combination using 3 from my hands and 2 from community card

Does this means I can only use the 3rd and 4th cards community card or some sort? lol. Kolloh and bitmutiny are playing here as well, too bad I cant chat due to the 500 krills requirement

you need to use exactly 2 of your hole cards, and then 3 of the community cards, to make a hand. lots of drawing equity to consider when playing omaha......

I dont know whats on my mind when I clicked that lol , I am quite sleepy right now lol

Lol of all the games to wander into PLO 5-card at that. I don't play much to crazy for me. Here is a quick google search for strategy.
https://cardquant.com/5-card-plo-strategy-the-fundamentals/

It comes down to you using 2 of the 5 cards in your hand to make the best poker hand. You have to be much more aware of potential flush draws and straights in PLO for sure. Pairs are fairly weak.

Is Big BTC now called Main Event or did I miss something?

Only for today. Prize money has been increased by 100% with total pool of 1 BTC! It's the final event of long running BSOP series that's why it is named Main Event. Sadly all of the BSOP Events started after midnight at my place so I wasn't able to play any. This main event will start at 2:30AM at my place. No way I can concentrate at that time so I will miss this one too.

1 btc guaranteed, if you have the time to play then it is definitely something not to be missed

Edit : nevermind, I choose to just give up by going all in so that I can focus on our game lol . Goodluck Kolloh and Bitmutiny

I am hoping for the following result for T7:

1. 1r0n1c
2. BitcoinGirlClub
3. efialtis
4. Trofo
5. Iv4n
6. Globb0
7. jayce
8. Improved
9. SyGambler
10. morvillz7z

Why ? Because it would make for a great last tournament Shocked

Works for me and as a token for your efforts, if result look anything like that I'll give my best to try and finish on 4th spot  Smiley

evergreens?
Cheesy Grin I found no better word for our four heroes who sat down at the tables for 22 consecutive times.
Evergreens sounds a bit too much like you are calling us old and well preserved and I already have too many years to appreciate being reminded about that  Wink

Anyway I' ll join our tournament in few hours when I get home and see you all guys there.
Edit: Joined both the tournament today and the last one in the series. That way I will not be tempted to miss out in case I can't qualify for the final table Smiley

I fear we might lose one of our evergreens tomorrow and will be down to 3.

Well thanks for these stats,  I need to be in top 5 in the next two games to get a seat for final table, not bad!
Registered for last two games! Tonight I work, so I will have to play from the phone, little disadvantage but what to do!
Wish you luck people! See you at the tables! Smiley

ummm, you forgot my name. Roll Eyes

I think 23pts might already be enough to just qualify; you will probably get thrown out of Top9 only because of tie-breaker. If unsure, just play afk, which proved to be a safe way to get 1-2 points^^

i'll take a 9th straight points finish and a bye for game #8 please. i know for a fact i'm gonna be on zero sleep the morning of the 16th and wouldn't mind sleeping in. Cheesy

i don't think we'll see @BitcoinGirlClub tomorrow. he's been MIA since his account got hacked and he hasn't sent me chips back on SwC yet.

Now, two Queens was obviously a better hand, and I would not hesitate to call all-in almost from anyone, but not from @FOMA, who, based on my observations, usually starts playing only with good cards, and when he goes all-in pre-flop, you can bet he has something extremely good. Smiley

i'm glad you give me so much credit---it comes in handy when i need to steal some blinds. Tongue

from early position, with that stack, i actually would shove AA/KK......but i'd shove a lot of weaker hands too tbh.

anyway, i'm all registered and ready to go for tomorrow's game. can't afford to take any qualifiers off unfortunately with these super tight standings!

Don't you become more vulnerable when you have a "if I get this I do that" plan.

Only if you play with same person alot of times and if that person show almost the same pattern most of the time. I wont point my fingers to that person but there are few person that almost never bluff 98% of the time. If he raise then there is a good chance that he has a good card, either some Aces or a pocket pair in hands  Tongue

But alot of us show different pattern most of the time so yeah it will be hard to notice all that stuff

There is only a few tournaments left now I think.

There are 2 more games to go before the Grand Finale and the points differences between #2 to #9 are only several points

I went out much quicker thinking I was knowing what Im doing. OK got AK do X.

People flopped out triple Queens vs AA all sorts of strong but ultimately lost hands.

There is only a few tournaments left now I think.

Need some points. Time to adjust something a bit.
