Well what are we going to this Sunday? Maybe I missed something, including the password (if the news was published in a telegram).

I just don't see any updates in the OP, or any other mention of the new series. And by the way, how about inviting players from previous poker series? Can someone send a mass notification? ^{[who has a list of players]}

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5310518 New series thread has been up for 4 days. Tourney #1 of series 2 is in the Betnomi lobby already. Password has been pinned in telegram for the last 2 days as well.

And you are absolutely right in trusting that feeling, imo. Those over-aggressive players may steal several blinds and be on top during the first 30-40 minutes, but they very rarely end up ITM.

In tournaments of this type, I stick to the strategy of calling all-in at the beginning of the game (then I leave the game for 30-40 minutes) and go back to the beginning of the add-on, (add-on allows you to feel more confident at a later stage). Thus, a successful call early in the game allows me to wait out the aggressive period of the game. Because if I do not take a break, I will not have the strength for the final tournament, (a series of tournaments which, in addition to the final, includes 3-4 more satellites).

If you mean the poker market, I think they have been doing extremely well unless you compare them to some big name. Lots of full cash game running 24/7 and some tournaments with over $10k guaranteed running with over 100+ players registered although most of them are probably recreational player that will jam all in with J8o Tongue

( Ironically, I lost few times to such hands )

not irony, just the life of an MTT grinder. suckouts all day, every day! Tongue

Yeah I would shove that as well if I am short but most of those rec would shove it UTG position when they still have close to 50 BB. Its kinda frustating sometimes because you have some decent hands like QJs to play but then those rec would shove 50 BB then I feel like 50BB shove for QJs is not good enough

And you are absolutely right in trusting that feeling, imo. Those over-aggressive players may steal several blinds and be on top during the first 30-40 minutes, but they very rarely end up ITM.

you make betnomi sound pretty juicy tbh. i haven't checked out their tourneys yet. maybe i should now that i've got a couple hundred bucks in my account...

If you are into MTT grinding, you should check them out. The guaranteed prizepool is decent and good with smaller fields if you compared it to ACR, stars or ggpoker. Its good but its too tilting for me sometimes because of those rec player. Some big tournament on weekend and lots of decent prizepool on weekdays

Also tournament tickets freeroll ( in case you are bored lol )almost every hour but these gets filled up like 15 mins after registration open.

I disagree with you, because I am sure that thanks to the forum, at least 100 regular customers have joined Betnomi

point taken. i just don't know how much traffic the forum poker series is driving to the site.

No, it should be on 24th January if everything is still right on track.

I think the purpose of this series is to spread awareness to people that Betnomi also has poker running on their website and also to get more players for the series. Well we get some new regulars like you and Teethow but lose some probably because some lose their interest to play but its all fair

I think 1 week before we launch the series we should look back through all our past participants and invite them via PM to the series. This way we don't have people showing up half way through deciding not to take a shot because they are behind in points.

I have also repeatedly invited my forum friends to join the poker series .. and as for the players participating in the previous series, I hardly know them ..

Great news (in the first game we will try to be softer with you).

i don't think the series is exactly a boon for their profits. they were probably hoping it would draw in more players/depositors, which would in turn bring more overall traffic to the site. at this size, we should probably be content with whatever crumbs they wanna throw us. Tongue

That was the BTC tournament on SWC, in this series we've only been doing the entry and it's FIAT based on Betnomi with a 15$ entry. We haven't run a side pool at all here for lottery or anything like that. I've preferred it this way. I can't even remember what it was at the time but I think it was still around 15 USD at that time depending on price.

same. when the idea originally arose i was hoping the side pool would increase engagement, but at this point i think it would be a deterrent. people just wanna buy in and play when they're available (me included), not do some convoluted prepaid side thing.

i like the flat ~15 USD buy-in.

hope to see you in the next series, @johhnyUA!

Really? As i remember it was around 25 dollars. One part is buy in and the second (smaller) part was sent to some account (for additional prize in final). Anyway, 15 dollars looks like good enough for me

The previous series buy in was $15 flat with no additional fee. Maybe you would want to consider joining the next one

Might or might not be a lower prize pool. Do we want to chare extra buyin for PW? Any other changes? Def need more players participating if we wanna see a 3rd series.

Whenever it gets posted I'll play if I'm available. I like the buy-in what it's at, raising it I think does more to detract from new participants joining than assist with attracting anyone. I think 1 week before we launch the series we should look back through all our past participants and invite them via PM to the series.

I hope this was a mutual decision .. As for the tournament dollars, I tried to test but in vain (I tried to cancel registration in one of the tournaments, thinking that the funds will be credited to the bonus account).

As mutual as it can be. No hard feelings or anything. I was able to assist when they needed it on forum, and then once they had a better handle on their live support and telegram groups the additional forum support wasn't vital. Shame to hear about the tournament tickets. Hopefully they can integrate some of the suggestions into their poker client sooner rather than later, as there are things I can't get past to put in more volume there.

Perhaps everyone who expects to reach the final should just make a one-time payment? 5 * 8 (No matter how many games you play in a poker series).

The issue with bundle payment is that it might drive some new player off. The issue that we have right now is the number of player participating in the series is low compared to what Betnomi offered as the Grand Finale Prizepool so if we can get some new blood in this series that means the issue will be solved by itself. If the series is held on swc, it will be easier to convince few regs to join the series but I dont think that most regs on Betnomi poker has bitcointalk account

25 buy in was a little bit to high especially for me guys. I don't mean that i don't have such money, rather i can't afford to myself such amounts (I'm afraid that if i will play with such buy-in, one day i will go further and it won't end well). So maybe we should decrease buy in a little? Like 15 $

Even if the guaranteed prize pool for the Grand Finale goes down, it doesnt change much. Basically 9 players that made it to the Grand Finale probably get into ITM during the qualifiers, few probably get profit during those qualifiers while most probably close to break even . So even if the prize gets lowered, I think its still good as long as there are still prizes on the Grand Finale and Runner up Finale

If I am not mistaken, then in one of the messages Betnomi claimed that the prize fund would be expanded ... I will try to find this message as, I am a little surprised that we started talking about the opposite. If we make additional buy-ins, then we will need to decide on the number of qualifying games, given that some can make 8 contributions, and some only 3, and also get to the final table. Perhaps everyone who expects to reach the final should just make a one-time payment? 5 * 8 (No matter how many games you play in a poker series).

Im willing to pay for the extra buyin in case we agreed to do so but the internal transfer feature is still having issue with the currency differences. Another alternative is to use btc but some people might want to hold their btc during this bullrun.

I talked with the owner today and he said whenever I am ready to start he will get it going for us. I was thinking the 24th would be game 1 of new series, but also wanted to figure everything out before I posted the new series.

Sorry no longer affiliated with Betnomi. No issues they just allocated their resources differently. Pretty sure this was brought up with them in the past, as well as other suggestions I had to improve their poker client. I think these changes are more difficult for them to implement as they have to deal with the game provider and/or were less priority. I never really got the full scope of who can and does what, but the only change I saw was the tournament dollars bankroll.

Congrats to everyone again, look forward to seeing you on the tables soon.

Probably it was just a visual error because of currency differences. It might shows up as 1000 euro / $1000 depending on your account's currency. It shows up as 1000 euro on mine but it paid out as $1000 instead . On your case it could probably 1000 euro but shows up as $1250~ but actually was $1000

It wasnt, it was a sincere expression but Im sure I will get a better read on how you play your hand on the next series. Watch out for it Wink

I hope so! And by the way, I'll reveal a little secret ... A check from my side is, in most cases, much more dangerous than a Raise

Quote from: Betwrong on January 12, 2021, 05:54:24 AM

At the early stage I was folding such cards too if there was a significant raise, let alone all-in. ... Overall, I have an impression that in the last Series most of the participants were playing more cautiously than before. Am I right? I personally prefer this way of playing to constant preflop raising by aggressive players, which often happens in other tournaments.

Man, of course you are right, because we have been preparing for this game for 2 months and the rates were completely different ..

p.s. And by the way, when will the next poker series be announced? (OP changes).

~ Although I would not dare to play all-in with such a card, honestly speaking, even at the early stage of the game I fold such cards ^{[A9, A8, A7, A6]} (if I am not in the blind or if the cards are not suited).~
