Damn, wish I could have made it in. Unfortunately this was a week I am working nights, and on top of it had to replace some broken faucet cartridges so no chance. Good luck to everyone who played and hopefully see you all next week.

I presume you finished ITM, right? Smiley What was the prize? Considering the prize pool, $3,705, the prize for 6th place could be big. Smiley
The 6th place reward was just over $200 (This includes the reward for knocking out players).

Normally I have no problems playing poker on Betnomi, but yesterday, after logging in and clicking on the TOURNAMENTS tab(I was trying to play in the browser, Chrome 87 on Linux), I just saw a white blank space instead of the Tournaments schedule. I tried it in another browser(Firefox) with the same result.

What do I do if this happens just before our tournament starts?
This is probably due to the fact that unscheduled technical work was carried out on the site yesterday (at least there was an announcement in the poker section). I do not think that this will affect the active tournament, since after the resumption of the work of betnomi/play-poker, I saw two uncompleted tournaments that started before the maintenance. [Although they may have been suspended]

New tourney is listed, pm me for pw or join telegram group

Great news! Smiley I can see it in the lobby. Sent PM for the pw.

Thanks again for organizing this, Yahoo!

~ After a 12 hour poker marathon, I finished 6th. I realize that I could have played better, but I was just tired and decided to play a hand of medium strength (I wanted to prevent the stealing of the blinds).

P.S. I played poker on Betnomi today with no issues.

Thank you, I joined (while there are three of us).

Today I decided to practice a little before Sunday's game... and it turned out to be a damn long day  Cry

...

That's all, see you at the weekend!

Nice games, congrats on the last week win and this "practice" games! I didn't have a poker day for a long time, but before I had days with 10+ hours of poker! That was crazy, from tournament in tournament, in the middle cash games...

I am happy with some point in the first game, but I will try to be more focused on getting into ITM this Sunday! Betnomi slots took all my money, so I need some recovery! Smiley

People good luck and see you at the tables!

I joined the freeroll in the morning and was in the top five finalists, (More precisely, in two freerolls). I got 2 tickets to $ 4 and $ 6 tournaments and win one of them, (satellites of the $ 40 buy-in tournament). I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.. After a 12 hour poker marathon, I finished 6th. I realize that I could have played better, but I was just tired and decided to play a hand of medium strength (I wanted to prevent the stealing of the blinds).

That's all, see you at the weekend!

Question / Let's say I have transferred 0.1 BTC to my account ... Will the balance be fixed in dollars? For example, after a year I will log into my account, will I see the same amount as before? Or will the balance depend on the bitcoin rate?
~

@Steamtyme has explained it already, but I'll say it in my own words, to make sure for myself that I’m not confusing anything Smiley

As far as I understand, your balance, which, after depositing 0.1 BTC, should become $1,800 right now, will always stay stay the same, USD-wise. Meaning that if BTC dropped to, say, $9,000, and you decided to withdraw, you'd be given 2 times more BTC, compared to what you deposited initially.



I'll repost the list from another thread here for ppl like me who can't figure out who is who sometimes. Smiley

Your balance is converted to FIAT after the deposit. Consider it a FIAT platform that you fund with crypto.

Not sure how often betnomi checks in here for suggestions but if you drop your comments on their main thread they will at least be aware of them.

There is more to improve the interface ... (Below is what should be added).

[1] Statistics

  • Hands Dealt: 4
  • Saw Flop: 2/4 (50%)
  • Pots Won: Pots won at showdown / Pots won without showdown

[2] Day Mode

  • I think it is worth giving up day mode or changing the color scheme.

I purposely lowered the time bank for everyone. Some of you guys take 2 hours to make a decision when you usually know what you're gonna do right away. ~

I did miss playing couple of hands because of the short time bank, but overall I'd prefer it like it is now, I mean, short. The game feels more alive this way.



As a fan of the style which involves patience and cautiousness, rather than aggressiveness and recklessness, I was deeply impressed by your yesterday's performance: so many check-folds, and the win in the end! Great job!
This is clearly a strategic move, and one that makes a lot of sense.

If you have a crap hand there's no point in raising or bluffing your way through as that will most definitely cause you to lose.

However, when you get a strong hand there's nothing stopping you, you can start applying your well learnt strategies to convince others to raise you as much as comfortable and then make for a clean win!

This is a strategy of cards not other way round, and patience is by far one of the most important factors.

Well, I want to congratulate the winners: III - @Betwrong, II - @TrayvonKang and I - @icopress [Although I didn't expect to have to congratulate myself] Cool
Congrats. I didn't catch who won. What was the final run time on the tournament.

So what are peoples thoughts on the tournament structure? Personally I like it, I think it kept the game at a good pace. Starting stack is still large and the blind structure made it so that after 1 1/2 hours you had to be in game mode. I like this as we aren't doing late registration so it shouldn't' take 2 hours+ to start getting into a more forced action.

I didn't run into any issues with the timebank myself, so  I can't really say either way. I do think that regardless a portion of the timebank should replenish every break, which happens in most tournaments. This shouldn't allow abuse of tanking as it won't fully replenish so people still need to conserve their timebank, but are free to do whatever with their timeclock for their move.

Congratulations on taking this one down, I didnt expect that a new name would be taking this one. This series would be harder than the previous one it seems  Smiley

Thx! Since there were not many of us, at the beginning I had no goal of (sitting out) to get into the prize zone...

I made some serious mistakes trying to play medium strength hands when my stack was under 15 blinds. But then I decided to stick with pushing [re-raising] or folding (since short stacked players usually push with medium or even weak hands).

Yeah, it was a nice tournament. I missed ITM by one position.

I missed ITP by one position  Tongue

Does the bet duration cause anyone problems? I see players on my table getting folded very often. I don't know if that was intentional or because duration was too little. Also Time Bank was not re-filling once it was consumed.

My hand folded 2 times iirc. I ran out of time bank from the start of the game. I was late for one hand and my time bank was consumed on that hand so yeah it would be nice if the time bank would be resetting by 5 second each time the blind level increase

I purposely lowered the time bank for everyone. Some of you guys take 2 hours to make a decision when you usually know what you're gonna do right away. Feel like there is too much posing going on.

Let people tank and stall, I dont mind if thats their strategy or whatsoever. Eventually the blinds level will catch up, especially in 6 max game you wont be able to keep tanking/folding until you get premium hands.

Is it possible to increase the time bank by 5 seconds each time the blind level increases? ( keep it at max 15 or 20 ) I ran out of mine right from the start of the game

GG for the winners

Also Time Bank was not re-filling once it was consumed. I didn't have any connection issue though but what about others? Do you guys had enough time to make all the bets without getting folded often?
I got folded a couple of times in tough spot but it's fine, just in the final maybe need little more time.

And, of course, a special thank you to @yahoo62278 for constantly taking on the burden of organizing events that support the public interest. As for the game, I want to say thank you to @webtricks as he kept me on constant tension and I am still a little angry that he knocked out my pocket pair KK vs Q3Grin

GG people! I am glad we finally started new series, like always great poker with you guys! I strongly believe we will have more players in the next games!
Well I'm not in the payout but I have some points for start! Smiley

Yeah, it was a nice tournament. I missed ITM by one position. 6-max table was a refreshing and welcoming change. I was also expecting 18-20 players, hopefully we will have 3 full tables next weekend.
