Topic: #4 Bitcointalk Poker Series @ SwC Poker (0.06 BTC, BIG BTC Ticket by SwC) - page 9. (Read 31777 times)

Average finishing position in all tournaments participated in the series is the tie-breaker then. There is a column for average finish, but it's hidden for the time being between column "Pts Tot" and "Tickets".


I put that D in, since you have no placement for that tournament, so I assumed you paid, but didn't join. But I can't check without screenshots - anyone has them for T5 ?

Come on! If the final were today, these are the happy guys who make the final table.

As I understand it, they all start with the same chips, at the final table, that's why place 9 is as valuable as being first, mathematically there is a chance for that position number 9.

What if there is a tie in points for that position 9?

efialtis,
In the spreadsheet I appear with a "D" in my interpretation I think I shouldn't have it, I played that tournament.

No need! I agree with that! And Steam made a f. good comment in his Canadian style!


Well I can only say that I hope we will play many more series! Some people from here really grown to my heart (I hope it's the right term) for all this time!

I will repeat it once again, in case some of you forgot, I still hope we will play one live series by the sea, hosted by Efi in his house by the sea (or his boat)!

I want to take a moment and appreciate SwC. I sent them mail on Sunday to upgrade my seal to 'Floundering' from 'Baby' so I can chat on the table. I also mentioned that I am ready to pay for the upgrade.

To my surprise, 60 krills were added to my account when I opened SwC today. I already had 440 krills so now I have 500 and can chat on the tables. Also, SwC charged nothing for it. I really appreciate the gesture. Hope this series continue forever and I am inclined to join it as long as it runs. I also see 2-3 interested members who wanna get in as regulars. So I predict the number will grow to 20 if we gonna see the #5th rolling in.

Sorry for the doppelpost.


No need for a poll. Its clearly written in the OP that the buyin is 1400 chips or 0,0014 BTC and not 1000 or 0,001 BTC
Everything else in my respect is violating the trust of efialtis who sent the regs the passwords for all tournaments.

I mean that we should be safe aswell. If everyone continues to play the last qualifiers aswell.

Im trying to play every qualifier, even if it should be safe in the final. Because I still like to play for the regular pricepool of each qualifier.
And I want to be on #1 after all qualifiers ended.

Lol. Yes, it was an intention.
I thought it's funny to start using this little "white privilege" of the chipleader. Stir up the swamp, so to speak.

But anyway, if players oppose this idea, no problem.

Let's make a poll, mods?

Betwrong, Is this confirmed ? To be honest I dont feel safe getting the 4th spot with only 31 points  . I was playing last weekend hoping to only get atleast one point to secure my spot because there are few new names that actually made it as a contenders for the Grand Finale unlike the previous series so getting more points should be a safer option for me

Alot can happen at this point but Ivan and improved should be 100% safe to get the slot for the Grand Finale

I agree.  After all, it is stated in the rules(in the OP):


I suggest @Improved to give it another thought. Rules are rules, they apply to everyone.

Thank you! I will just post a screenshot here for the convenience.



Anyone, starting from Globb0 and up, still has a chance to qualify for the Grand Final. It means that we have 12 contenders for the 5 places in the top 9 (with 4 places already taken by Iv4n, Improvoed, seeker and arallmuus). "Now the plot begins to thicken.(c) 'The Gentlemen'

Right. If I read that post I definitely missed that part. It seems that was the intent, and is complete BS.

So it's 4am, night shift and I'm getting slightly sick. So I'll try and be short and to the point. The fees for these tournaments are non-negotiable. Like for the sake of fuck, there are individuals who pre-pay their entire series, and given the choice are donating any additional fees they pay rather than take a refund they are entitled to and can receive. This is a semi-fun community game, not some reg table in the basement of Vinny's fine automotives where nothing but the chips matter and Villains be damned.

I couldn't point out anybody here except maybe Globb0, but when I talk about these plays and beats it's like I'm discussing playing with friends. Hell the wife even laughed and asked if we play for money because she said" You don't even seem a little pissed" after a suckout or BB.

So to see someone angling themselves ere in this manner, is pretty F'ing disgusting to me. The lottery was set up because we have a wide range of skill levels and wanted to keep this fun and reasonable for all.

So much for short and to the point - Again, Entry fees 1000+400 are non negotiable.

Please make that same play every time. I'll happily be your guinea pig; you have used up your 8% 

I will help/organise the next one.

I didn't feel like I knew enough early on but I have learnt now.

Lets see what we can do.

I don't think it was a mistake but intentional - I just can't figure out why but looking at that post...


What's wrong man? When I read that, I thought you were making a joke - tell me you didn't really join the game with the intention of not paying the massive amount of 400 chips... saying players who don't pay the fees, wouldn't get points, doesn't make it any better.

As much as it directly benefits me I'm okay with being lenient on late payers, especially if you are a reg who got passwords.

I would say it's probably best to payup as soon as you realise the mistake. That or early so as to make things easier on efi.

Oh yeah stats have been updated for a few hours.

And it happened again. I always prefer Barca game above anything else and it was second week in a row that Barcelona game clashed with our poker tourney. Both time, game was scheduled 2 hours after poker started. So I had the strategy to play aggressively for first two hours, stake enough chips and then sitout to end somewhere around 6-7th position. However, both times I failed to stack big pile. Hence, I played do/die hands at the start of 3rd hour and eventually lost.

Now I have slimmest of the chance to qualify for the final but I am going to give everything next Sunday. Beware everyone! I am surely winning the next qualifier. But the bad thing is that Barcelona again has the fixture that will clash with the 8th qualifier. Timings are not out yet but I hope that match would end before the poker starts.

PS: I went all-in against SteamTyme (if I remember correctly) with 55 against KQ after flop. King was already dealt on the table along with the pair of sixes. I knew that hand, played with same hole and flop cards before and I was sure another 5 gonna dealt on the river and that so happened. I didn't check SwC's RNG yet but it may be possible that combination of cards repeat. It may be mere co-incidence but I will have a look into that.

Those who didn't pay 400 chips fee (like me) shouldn't get points!

Nice to see that there is still the poker tournament. Will take part again at the next tournament. I'm curious to see who wins tournament #4. Good luck to all participants. 

Not sure if we will have another one but when we thought that 3rd series would probably be the last one, Efialtis surprised us with the 4th . So cross your finger that he can secure another one with swc

You can also play the last two game and then get your seat on the small final ( Not sure if we will have small final again this time )



I signed up to Twitch just to follow Globb0 !


It seems you are quite busy nowadays, missed your super tight play on the table   . Come and play 1 more game so that you will qualify for the Small Final incase there will be one, I'll take you on the table  

well done @jayce---good to see you cashing.

with so few qualifiers left, i'm officially out of the running at this point. i set an alarm to play yesterday and intended to play like a maniac (chip up quick or bust) but when the time came i just went back to sleep. i was just coming off a 12+ hour drive the night before.

not my series! i'm still hoping to make it to the last couple games though....

Thank you mate! I wish I could make my first grand finale this season

Congrats seek3r! Need more than luck to beat you

That was a luck hit. If I was you, I also would go all-in haha. We had a tight game on the last table indeed.

After reading this I signed up to Twitch right away, and the first thing I did there was I followed Globb0. So, you have 18 followers now(someone besides me did the same apparently ).

Your commentaries rule, mate! Defo going to watch "Game 6" later today with my wife.

Answering your question, "Did you have a King, Betwrong?", Yes, I did

---

We had yet another great game yesterday.

Congrats on winning the tournament, @seek3r!

Thanks to all for playing!

Here's how I was knocked out by @jayce/NoobHere on the 21st minute of the 4th hour of the game. I turned a straight, and went all-in



But NoobHere rivered a better straight!



But you better watch it on Globb0's channel, there's much more than just pictures .
