Will there be an official series thread? How early will players be able to register? When is the 1st tourney scheduled for? Weekly tourney or a week on a week off? Sorry for so many questions, just curious if all this has been decided yet.

for the respective poker tournaments/days we will continue to use this thread and it looks like the first tournament will start in march and then continue weekly (every sunday)
i think as soon as the dates are fixed all participants can register for the respective rounds.
actually everything important is already listed (in my second post). the only thing we are all still waiting for are the actual dates

You can use any crypto for buy-ins, as you mentioned everything is calculated in $,€...

Thanks for the enlightenment. I just wasn't sure as I've only played poker free rolls on Betnomi so far. Would have annoyed me if I had missed a game because of that. Wink

My balance on Betnomi is in LTC. I can also use this to enter the tournament, right? I mean, it's calculated in $ and not in BTC?!? Or only BTC works?
Would be nice if someone could answer the question beforehand. Thanks!

as i just talked to icopress it will most likely be in march and we can start our poker tournaments

That is a good news. I can hardly wait.

all of you who want to join the poker tables, you can already send your buyins ($20 per tournament day) in a free minute to your betnomi acc

Is it the usual Betnomi blind structure, I linked below?

i think the blind structure you posted will also be valid for us and we will practice it in the same way.

the poker cards are finally finished and you can see the result below. you can see 4 different colors of these cards.
the white one will be given to all participants of the final table, the bronze one to the third, the silver one to the second and the golden one to the winner of the respective tournament.

Sweeet! These Icarus cards look extremely cool @cygan. Pretty good job.

I saw that there is already some info about the buyin and the tournaments details. Is there any info on the blind structure? I saw it's a 8k starting stack with 8-minute levels. Is it the usual Betnomi blind structure, I linked below?

In any case, I'm pretty excited and hope we'll get started sooner rather than later.

This is the first I’m reading of this poker tournament! When does it start I don’t see the date stated clearly anywhere. I’d love to join.

So far the tourney is only in the discussion stage, nothing has been set in stone as far as I know. I think they have agreed on Sundays as the starting day and that's really about all that has been decided. A few other things have been discussed and any new info will be posted here when finalized. Just keep an eye on this thread.

If we take a look at previous tournaments, we are lucky if we can get atleast 15 players on AVERAGE to stick and play all the qualifier games. We are probably going to get 15-25 players on the first one or two games then most players are going to drop the last two games because they think they wont make it into the final table

But that wouldn't be such a bad start for the tournament series tbh. Unfortunately, during the last series it was somewhat owed to the format that some participants lost interest at the end because they could no longer make it to the final table.

Anyway, let's wait and see what the exact rules and times of the tournaments are. I am confident that we will be a bunch of participants this time. The organizers @cygan and @icopress are well connected in our community and there will certainly be a few more users who will participate on their recommendation.

At least I already found some threads were I saw some lovely advertising for this poker round.

If we ended up with 20-30 players instead of only 10, the game experience would be much better tbh.

I don't agree with "anyone can subscribe" I don't think it makes sense to me, in terms of a series of BitcoinPokerSeries + sponsor.
...

And if someone jumps in from the side I think it's not a big deal. Some of us can inform them about all this in the chat... that there is a sponsored final table and in order to reach it they will have to collect points (and maybe register here). I think we had that situation in the last series, as I remember Yahoo found a few players who played poker on Betnomi already.

If, that's a big if. 20 players would be amazing, at least in the first game! But to be honest, I am not very optimistic. I guess we will see how many people will actually play when they open registration for the first game.

On the contrary, I don't care about the prize, in fact I don't even have continuity in poker today day, in fact, the series make me enter into that particular timing daily that gives you the "taste" to keep your skills healthy.

If it were for the amount of the prize or GTD, I put my $30, $20 or the 0.001 btc in another tournament that will surely be more profitable just by doing ITM.

In this sense, the accounts must at least have a minimum registration time of one year in the forum.

Do you know how many users join to that tournament? i miss the game that time, but you can count me in for this year.

Colega!! that was the final table, so those instances of Heads Up shown correspond to a table of 9 players.

It's not the bitcointalk poker series though, it's just a sponsored series being brought to the forum. Ideally 99.9% of the players will come from this forum, but why would it matter if 100 not from the forum joined? You will need "sharp" skills no matter where the players come from.

@bullrun2020bro i see it exactly the same way.
it is also possible that a participant in the final table wants to remain anonymous and voluntarily does not give me his shipping address in order to receive an Icarus card - these cases will certainly also occur.
what happens with the 'remaining' cards i still have to see...

The 1 issue I see is with the Icarus cards. If someone joins who is not on the forum, they may not know of the cards for reaching the final table, so a card me be unclaimed. Other than that, as long as that's not an issue, should be good to go.

One could set the Betnomi tournament rules/description so that the Icarus cards are considered an "additional prize" that must be actively claimed by the winners in this thread. Winners interested in a card will then post here in the thread and @cygan will contact them to arrange shipping. If for some reason some cards are not claimed, we could simply raffle the remaining cards among the participants of our poker round.

This would then have the advantage that even players who don't have much experience in poker would still have a small additional chance to win the great Ikarus cards (and that may attract even more players).

Why not post the pw publicly? If it's a buyin game, there's nothing lost if someone snipes the pw outside of btctalk right? More players, bigger pool for that game IMO.

in retrospect, you are of course right and it does not make sense to send the pw directly to the participants. somehow i still had the tournaments in mind at that time where then efialtis announced the pw via dm. Tongue

if icopress doesn't mind, we would then announce the pw publicly, and then every user with the combination buy-in + pw can sit at the tables together with the other players.

we will send a dm with the password only to the users who have sent the amount for the buy-in to betnomi until a certain time.

So if I read this correctly, I need to deposit atleast $80 to ensure that I will play for 4 straight weeks to get the password?
✂

nope, you send the buy-in only for the tournaments you play in and as for the pw, hopefully we have explained that now
