.......... although imo 200 BB would be enough to potentially play a long and interesting game, but not too long when you might end up with no beer left at the most interesting point. Smiley
Man you are a titan if you allow yourself to drink beer while playing! I'm just interested in the question, is one break per hour enough for you?  Grin

Actually I don't drink much, and I never start drinking from the very beginning. The first 1.5-2 hours I'm sober as a judge. Smiley Also, the quantity of drinks in my house is pre-established so that I wouldn't drink too much. That's why they can run out if the tournament is too long. Smiley

And by the way, does it make sense for the leaders of the table to participate in the 7th and 8th games? Considering that, according to the results of 6 games, they already have enough points to qualify for the Grand Final.

I was thinking about it. At first I do play mostly for points to qualify for the the Grand Final. And when the goal is achieved, it seems like it's more advantageous to play in some GTD tournaments where the prize pool is usually bigger than all the buy-ins combined. But it's advantageous only money-wise, while I'm looking for the entertainment in the first place. And it is so much fun playing with you guys, and since it can be the last Bitcointalk Poker Series in the observable future, I'd rather play in those 2 games. Smiley

~ If we are using same blind structure of 100 BB, it doesnt matter even if the starting stack is 100k or 200k chips though because it will be the same as having 10k chips and 100 BB structure. Deepstack should be around 200-300 BB though and it might last more than 4 hours because in the Grand Finale, everyone would be tighter than usual.

I support 200-300 BB deep stack for the Grand Finale, although imo 200 BB would be enough to potentially play a long and interesting game, but not too long when you might end up with no beer left at the most interesting point. Smiley

Congrats for taking the top position on that tree, Improved/TrayvonKang! Smiley

famososMuertos, good job in making those pics, as always!

sure, that´s what I meant. 200-300bb would be very interesting imo :-)

guess who's back
Iirc you just need to go into settings from the landing page once it launches the poker client, then select bet slider. I played one of these a few weeks back from my phone and had to wait until the first break. I was able to set 4 buttons I believe each for pre and post flop betsizings.

thanks mate , I guess my problem is mobile related maybe the screen is too small or it's just like this on all mobiles
it's the betting slider that made my life hard and so the only fix as I see is to keep typing the bet which is also hard on mobile  Cheesy

btw: What do you guys think about a deepstack for the final? Same blind structure but 100k Chips for everyone?

for the final yeah a slower game might be better , but I really like the current speed for the normal games since last time  I played the series games were taking around 4 hours to finish

Do you still remember what hand did you have when you take almost half of my starting stack? You probably had some pocket pairs or flush draw to be able to go all in with it, no? . I had AJ offsuit and I couldnt call so I folded. It was some bad call from me though, I should have fold it in the river

I don't really remember but I had 2 big hands where I had flush draws , probably that hand was a gutshot flushdraw if I'm not mistaken

I see so we both had nothing at all aside from high card if you didnt hit any of your gutshot or flushes but its really hard to make that kind of all in call when you have nothing at all. Good game though

fun game today, although not my best showing.

i was pretty card dead all day........managed to stay in the game off a big 2-pair pot and a couple bluffs, but eventually i got short-stacked and ran JJ into KK. the knockout was too fast to screen grab. i'm not even sure who took me out, but good game!

i'm out in 8th place, good luck to the rest of you! i'll try to make it for next week's game too.

Tell me it wasn't one of them bluffs here



Well, now I'm 99% sure it was. And I thought I made a good fold!  Undecided Anyways, I'm glad to see you are back. Welcome, mate! Hope to play more games with you. And beware, I'm going to call next time! Smiley

GG, everyone!

I was out on 7th place, losing to pocket Jacks woth my AJ:



An Ace, or at least 7 or Q on the river wouldn't hurt, but that's life. Smiley

unbelievable how I get fucked up every week. Game no. 5 was my fault, but now it´s a desaster.
Yesterday my AA lost again QQ. When the luck doesnt come back to me I won´t make it to the finals…

btw: What do you guys think about a deepstack for the final? Same blind structure but 100k Chips for everyone?

That can be interesting! You need to take more points in the next two games if you wish to secure your seat! Smiley
TrayvonKang, Betwrong and Web are pretty safe with over 35 points, but for the rest of us anything can happen!

Good game last night, finally in the money, and beautiful 9 points!

Damn! Was well-poised in the tournament but how can one deny the straight flush draw on flop! It was 7-10s against AA. Got 9-Js on the flop. Had to call all-in raise from Improved. This was one of those kind of hands when you know odds are against you (48% vs 52%) and losing the hand will knock you out but can't help but play the hand. It's hard to control the emotions in such situations.

I had two similar situations last night! With spades, first time 57 and on flop 64...second time 64 and 53 on flop! I had to call... those hands is really hard to fold, at least for me! It's because of emotions, I agree... I am a believer and that beats my mind and facts!

on pc I downloaded their software and it works perfectly , haven't tried the browser version except on mobile
any idea how to adjust betting size ? it starts with x2 BB and  it directly moves to x4 when I adjust the betting bar

Yeah Betnomi has no app for mobile yet so if you open it up from your phone, it will be the same as opening it from your desktop but with smaller screen

So which one of you are DesR77 . This dude play and raise each time like a wild beast and I have no clue about his hands lol  Tongue

he seems to be a real degen  Tongue Cheesy

tried the game on mobile today and feels really weird playing on mobile , couldn't really bet the exact amounts that I want
there is no app for betnomi poker right ? the mobile browser is really hard to navigate like I never been able to open with 3x blinds , it's either 2x or 4x and more so ended up opening 4x most of my hands which isn't really good

Dang so the wild beast was you  Tongue . Thats some wild play there . Do you still remember what hand did you have when you take almost half of my starting stack?

-sniped-

Meh I was knocked out while you were sitting out. I probably last no longer than 30 minutes today.

Good luck iv4n, Improved and Teethow. May the best one win.

So Teethow ended up made it to the ITM spot. No wonder though as he was running hot throughout the game, he knocked my pocket aces out with Q10 suited ( managed to turn it into straight ). It was a good hand indeed and I should have fold that after the turn card shows up a straight draw. I wasnt convinced that he had Q10 for straight then ended up making silly calls for all in. Lesson learned today

Well, was duly punished for keeping emotions above the risk management and got knocked at 6th position. It's funny how I am running 3rd overall but only finished in ITM once.

Today we support the series from the stands ... I am finishing a manual job that has taken my free time but that has been accumulating over the days ... so today we are betting on my limited manual skills. Smiley

As for the tournament, today there was a field of 12 players, 10 regulators and two new ones were incorporated with the nicknames FOMA777 and DesR77.

Right now there are only 9 players left, we went from max6 to full table.
