But I know can set up the table with more players not sure of the limit maybe 8 per table so if more users can participate its gonna be more fun and exciting.

Firstly I want to thank you for joining your match at 4:00 AM in the morning as per your local time. Thanks for such support.
As already explained by @arallmuus, the nature of heads-up will only allow two players per table (by definition Grin

). I guess, you are talking about 6/8/9 max table tournaments. Believe me, it will not be the only one. I am thinking of a Bounty Hunter 8max table tournament already Grin

Yes it can be set into regular tournament mode as well but this is a HU tournament so yeah it bring a bit of twist to the game. So far this is probably the first HU tournament organized in bitcointalk. Prizepool is currently over $350 so thats pretty good for the first tournament ever. Anyway if you are interested on playing against multiple players, Royse organized one regularly though

Good luck for the three remaining players

Since @Coin_trader has decided to not accept the winning amount (how gracious of you!). I have added the $7.5 to the total prize pool money :

I still have one of the side bets live Grin

But don't forget what my first hand was against you: straight flush! Nice way to get started... It didn't bring me any chips, but still fun.

Yeah saw that too damn its only once in a million game to come out.

Anyway goodluck with the tournament. I think its good if we have plenty of players in the table, but since were few maybe this is quite good.

If memehunter can find huge sponsor for us here maybe will increase participants.

Nice game mv1986, haha so unlucky with all my big fights Sad

maybe not my day. Anyway you are a good player mate. You are patience and a good bluffer damn. Haha, sometimes I become so greedy about it when I almost had all chips.

Congrats to your win. The contest is coming to an end whose gonna be the champ.

Indeed two huge hands that was a suck out for you with those two queens and then the straight although flopping or a flush is luck itself.

Nah it was a fun tournament after all and yeah Its been fun so far. Atleast I dont embarass myself by losing to iv4n on the normal HU on the 1st round lol.

Quote from: arallmuus on January 20, 2025, 02:49:44 PM

Anyway I have a suggestion for you @memehunter. Since @iv4n had two all-ins with me, he probably had the lowest hands played just in case there is a tie on number of rounds played so I don think thats fair for the other two winners though

So I will propose a 3-way all in between the 3 semifinalist. Winner gets a direct spot in grand final. 1 hand, just all in and leave it to your luck

Really nice suggestion. I had something similar to this already in my mind. I think I will implement this. Thanks a lot for your continuous support and valuable feedback. I will create an one hand all in table (flip and go) for selecting the direct entry.

Luck is a vital part in Poker. No matter how good a player is, when it comes to luck then anyone can always hit the better card and obviously I dont have that luck so yeah I hope you will make it to the final atleast because you are lucky on this tournament Grin

Quote from: memehunter on January 20, 2025, 12:21:28 PM

@arallmuus you are clearly one of the strongest players in the pack. I have seen your last match in which you played perfectly like a pro. You have shown great sportsman spirit by offering your opponent all in flip for two rounds as he had to leave.
Kudos!

@iv4n : I dont like the idea of advancing with walkover so yeah the idea of putting all-in on 1st hand seems like a better idea. Obviously the one that suggested this always lose lol. Enjoy your next round mate but our HU on the 1st round was pretty intense

It was tricky for me, I was playing on my phone (which is not a problem), and then it started ringing and I had to go... I work shifts, today all day and tomorrow all night, and I have quiet days & nights, but when something happens, I need to fix it, or at least try it...

I think our game would last... easy play without raping the blinds, and always the possibility to see the next card, I love it... too bad I wasn't home and free, I would have enjoyed the game much more. Thanks for suggesting "all-ins", that was ideal for me in this situation, if it wasn't for that I would have gone all in for a few more minutes and would have had to log out.

The fact that I won was just luck and nothing more, in the second game I had better cards, but the third should have been your round... but that's gambling, that's poker. Just for the record, I am a degen, and I would always accept an all-in game with friends for $10.

Thanks for appreciating the current blind structure although I feel that there is a need to improve a lot. Maybe 25-minute blind levels in the next stage.

Sorry to ruin your stream mate with the all-in but yeah its better than getting a walkover just because iv4n had to leave because of work

. Overall its a pretty neat tournament although we had some problem with the blind structure yesterday but the current blind structure is good enough. Most round would be ended in around 25-35 minutes with the current blind structure so its pretty neat

@AHOYBRAUSE, you play good. But I will warn everyone to call the all-ins you call. With nuts you get lucky LOL

Don't ignore the fact that you called the last hand in match 2 far behind post flop with 3 outs and get lucky on the river. Tongue

I guess I will remember that you call turn bets with a range of 7-9 high on a paired board of AAKJ Cheesy

.

Anyway, let's play Omaha next time, NLH is so boring, just remembered that today. That's why I never play it.

GL

@AHOYBRAUSE,

After losing in PLO, what's next? Baccarat? Blackjack? Or maybe roulette? Keep spinning that wheel of excuses, buddy. Every game has its place, but a true player doesn't blame the game—just their own weak plays.

Try not to embarrass yourself too much when you inevitably jump to another game to dodge accountability.

GLHF.

Congratulations for the win. You really played great after losing the first round. Gl for next round.
I will declare who will get direct entry later on (after all the completion of all matches).

Still "Waiting Tournament Host Approval"...

I see that Arallmuus is waiting for Yahoo or me. I don't know if it's better to lose now and save myself all the trouble...

It seems that I will be playing against you tomorrow Cool

. Its been a while since we played together. Im not even sure if we actually had a HU in the previous tournaments

Quote from: GxSTxV on January 19, 2025, 03:04:05 PM

I agree with you, it gets a bit boring when the structure stays the same throughout the game because it can drag on forever. A structure like 100/200 for 15 minutes, then 200/400 and continuing to increase every 15 minutes, would make it more exciting.

That was my intial thoughts and then I realized that there was only 1 structure therefore I raise my blind on every hands to make things abit interesting Tongue

. We spent over an hour for two rounds in total, dang

Quote from: memehunter on January 19, 2025, 02:54:44 PM

Yeah, I will keep that in mind for the next stage. Thanks a lot for your feedback. You played really well.

Yep its about time we change the structure

Blind increase every 10 or 15 minutes would be great. Ante included would be nice as well, getting variety of factor into the game

@memehunter : can we get a proper blind structure that increase every 15 minutes? Its taking too long for HU

Yeah, I will keep that in mind for the next stage. Thanks a lot for your feedback. You played really well.
You can check your full match on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EMoAwk1C-Vw?si=BPHbvD_I-160GtvE

I ran through this video, nice game and the interesting thing is that they were tied until the last hand. Arallmuus congrats on the first win! Maybe, but just maybe we will meet in the next one!
