can someone PM me the password? i sent a PM to @yahoo but i'm not sure what his schedule is like between now and game time. just wanna make sure i get it in time, since there's no late reg and all. Smiley

see everyone on the felt later!

Sent you the password, see you on the felt ! Its been a while

I also think the number of tourneys needed to play in order to qualify for the little needs raised if future sites sponsor the tourney. Not really fair to all who played most of the games to get 20 extra players entered for last 2 games. This is also open for discussion.

4 games instead of 2 ? But I really feel that this is probably going to be the last one an. We barely had average of 10 players for each game and this is probably not going to be enough for Betnomi to keep on sponsoring us. Probably something to do with switching the site as most people are comfy enough with swc ( cant blame them on that )

I wonder how many people will show up today, we usually has lower number of participants after 5th qualifiers or so.

I understand that if there's a GTD prize pool, the less people participating the better for the participants, but, as you said it yourself

I'd say we need an average of 15-20 players per game to keep a site interested

So, at least for the current Series, I'd be more than happy if 10 more players have joined the game.

For those reading this and considering joining, I'd like to add that there is still a chance of ending up in the Grand Finale.

See for yourself:

- 3 games left

- 10 points for the 1st place, 9 points for the 2nd, 8 points for the 3rd.

and you can see the points of the current top 9 in this post

OPEN to ALL

Data and points were taken from the OP. You can see the spreadsheet with all the results in:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OOETV-EIj7o8UjwINUw3YjGOruqRrOB0D5QN36CJq9w/edit?usp=sharing

So "the best players" go to Grand Finale with a guaranteed $ 1000.

I see that theymos is also interested in poker (at least he was interested in it before). What do you think if we have a chance to involve him in the game?

For Betnomi, this would be an advertising bomb  Grin


The "Worlds First Sudo-Anonymous Online Poker Tourament" was played with much success. Everyone expressed their enjoyment and we discussed the possibility of holding further event(s) A big thank you to those who took part and to those who expressed interest, but were not able to participate.

Congratulations to our winner dwdollar !!!

Total Prize Pool 1200 bitcoins (4 'real' players)

1st - dwdollar - 600 BTC

2nd - theymos - 325 BTC

3rd - BitcoinFX - 175 BTC

4th - Computer6

5th - Computer5

6th - Computer3

7th - Computer2

8th - DannyM - 100 BTC

9th - Computer4

10th - Computer1

As there were only 4 'real' players and 3 of us finished in the top 3, we agreed that instead of doing a 4 way split on the 4th place prize (won by Computer6), that DannyM should receive the entire 4th place prize.

It was a very unlucky hand DannyM Wink

...

dwdollar was 'un-stopable' for most of the Tourney after taking out 3 computer players in one hand and gaining a monster chip lead.

RIVER [board cards 2h,Kh,Jd,Tc,9h]
Computer3 has [ 6d,Kd] - One Pair, Kings
Computer5 has [ 8d,Js] - One Pair, Jacks
Computer6 has [ Td,Jc] - Two Pairs, Jacks and Tens
dwdollar has [ Jh,Ks] - Two Pairs, Kings and Jacks

dwdollar wins $80150 <<<
Computer3 sits out
Computer5 sits out
Computer6 sits out

...

I'm about to send out the Bitcoin 'winnings', so please confirm that you have received them.

Cool

and I think we should all agree that players qualified for the Grand Finale are not playing in the The Little Final.
I think it's fair to say that you qualify for 1 or the other, but i'm open to other ideas as well. If anyone has any input on this, feel free to post here or pm me.

I also think the number of tourneys needed to play in order to qualify for the little needs raised if future sites sponsor the tourney. Not really fair to all who played most of the games to get 20 extra players entered for last 2 games. This is also open for discussion.

Of course, none of this matters if noone is sponsoring another tourney. We have had an average of 10 players for this series basically, I could do the math if needed. Anyone participating should be promoting the heck outta these series games so that sites see they are worth hosting. Asking a site to continue shelling out money for an average 10 players is not going to inspire them to host.

I'd say we need an average of 15-20 players per game to keep a site interested, as well as make the games worth playing for all of us.

These are the players in list for go to The Little Final with a guaranteed $ 300. (GTD)
Details in OP


*There are three places left but you must play at least 2 tournaments, is that why it is shown "? *" There are three players whom are missing one more game to guarantee a place in the small final, at least if the field is 18 players.

This part needs more attention, imo. At this point, when 3 games left, and even later, when only 2 games left, the Series is still worth joining by those who've never played even once.

Simply put, you pay $30 for participating in 2 games, and even if you win nothing in both of them(although it's possible to win from $30 to $80, in each game, finishing ITM), you end up playing in $300 GTD tournament(with small amount of participants, maybe 10 or so) for free! Smiley



I just noticed this

~
The Little Final

Every player who joined at least 2 of the 8 qualifying tournaments, will be eligible to play in the Small Final, no matter how many points they accumulated. You will receive a password for this tournament and don't have to pay an entry fee. TBD: I prefer only players to participate in this who have not qualified for the Grand Finale.

The date  is TBA and the prize is $300.

Before it's too late, I want to invite, once again, our regulars to the game. Smiley   

@BitcoinGirlClub, @CoinEraser, @efialtis, @figmentofmyass, @Globb0, @Hhampuz, @morvillz7z, @SyGambler, @tyKiwanuka, please consider joining the game. First off, we miss you, guys, and, secondly, look at the current spreadsheet . It is still not that hard to end up in the top 9 after 8 games, and then play in the Grand Final with $1,000 prize pool! And in the case of extreme bad luck, you can still play in the Little Final with $300 prize pool(you just need to join at least 2 of the 8 qualifying tournaments for that). Wink

Hope to see you, guys, in the games to come. Smiley

I will check the poker in betnomi now and see if I can open the game smoothly on mobile
last months were really busy for me and Sundays are usually the busiest here but will try my best to play the remaining games , guess that I can just click buttons on my mobile while working on other things  Grin

Sounds great, but in case of working on a nuclear facility, don't accidentally nuke the Earth by pushing this button



instead of "all-in".  Grin

Just kidding. Never mind, push any buttons you want, just join the game.

I'm so excited about seeing you and FOMA, high-level poker players, back at the tables of Bitcointalk Poker Series.

~ Also Congrats to Betwrong who is now leading in points.

Thank you! Smiley I'm taking it seriously and really fighting for every point, so it's a big achievement for me, considering the level of most players in this series.

~ @Betwrong takes the 3rd place , it was only because he had lower stack than both us and he was pressured in every hands otherwise I would have ended 3rd
~

Oh, c'mon!  Smiley It was the 3rd or 4th time you knocked me out during our series(I mean, on sportsbet, swcpoker and here). You are a hard player to beat, with short stack or not.

i finally got around to renewing my VPN subscription and registering on betnomi. my handle: FOMA777. 9am local time is early but i should be able to make it next weekend.

just to be clear, there is no separate buy-in like we did in the past series? i just need to pay the ~$15 buy-in on betnomi?

Yeah, that's right, no separate buy-in. Smiley

Good to know that you are playing with us next Sunday! Smiley



GG, everyone! Congrats on the win, @Improved!

That must have been a fun day for the winner. How is the distribution usually with such tournaments? If it says $ 1000 some people might assume it's $ 1000 for the winner?

Well, if you not known read the information related to Poker, you can get confused.

But the explanation is worth not only for you but for those who are used to answering without reading the OP and also for those who do but do not handle the simple informational jargon related to Poker.

GTD: means that there is a guaranteed prize for a minimum of players that regardless of whether the *buy-in covers the prize or not, the tournament guarantees it.

Then he says the Grand Final, it is easy after playing the 8 tournaments, the players who accumulate the most points play for a GTD $ 1000 in the Grand Final.

By the way there is $ 300 also GTD for players who do not qualify for the grand final.
___
*In both tournaments mentioned, the Grand Final and the consolation have buy-in $ 0

Your balance shows 0$. The buyin was 15.29$ that's why you couldn't get in.

Spreadsheet has been updated, Congrats to TrayvonKang for the win. Also Congrats to Betwrong who is now leading in points.

Of course! My bad!  Should have seen the rules first Tongue

Well, congrats to all the winners.

It is all broken down in the OP. Including the prizepool distribution for the series finale. Daily prizepool is dependant on entries that day, following a standard prizepool distribution.
