Topic: 🦊 Betnomi.com 🔐 Icarus Poker Series | Discussion Thread ♠️♥️♣️♦️ - page 2. (Read 4937 times)

sorry that i have not responded to your pm. but i am currently in the middle of moving and therefore find very little time for the forum.
as for the Icarus cards, they will be ready soon and then sent to me. also, not all of the Icarus winners who have been contacted have given me their addresses yet.
In any case, i will inform you here in the thread when the cards go on the road.

Hello guys, i would like to know if there are any news about the Icarus card shipping, I sent a PM to cygan in the past weeks but didn't get an answer, that's why I am writing here to know if anyone has news about it.

And I was thinking about another idea that I would like to discuss with the community, and the idea is a poker tournament each month on the last Sunday of the month, the idea is to make this tournament only for the forum users, will you guys be interested?

Arallmuus, congratulations on the victory!

Please send me a PM with information about where and to what name to deliver your prize.

It was kinda unbelivable because I thought I was done when I was only having around 2-3 bb or around that but somehow I made it back then won. Yeah its all just part of the luck in tournament for sure especially when both players have short stack and there isnt that many hands that can be played because options are limited hence the shove


That hands against @seoincorporation was AK iirc and my last hand was 89s. It was a good hand but with short stack, its hard to play so I shoved there wanting icopress to actually fold but he called which led me to panic for a bit then somehow my hands hit 

First of all congratulations arallmuus.
woa! not three finals in a row, not three H2H in a row, no, he's a three-time winner , y ar #1.1.1.

I don't know how they did it but with the BB's stack at the limit they played about 15 minutes of HH, I saw how arallmuus with the patience of a ninja and less than 2.5BB let a hand pass to go allin to the next, speechless, I thought; This is over and you recovered... I honestly enjoyed watching them play every hand on that hh.



Congratulations also icopress and a special greeting to the Colega, we already know who is going to give the poker classes in Spanish.



The final hands, there was an editing problem but in the case of arallmuus it was a pair of 99 vs AJ, the hand of the "Colega"/seoincorporation vs. arallmuus I can't remember that play (Hand).

Well not really I guess. In term of poker, there are alot more better player than I am but for some reason Im quite lucky when I play on the grand finale.

As of yesterday, I won 3/5 all in against icopress and all 3 of those hands were actually not any better than his hand but I managed to hit my hands. Another one of those all in ended up as a chop between us and my hands were actually not good enough in this shove, this could have ended up badly for me then somehow it was a chop between us

So yeah the conclusion is Im quite lucky I guess 

also from me congratulations to arallmuus who has secured the title of the first betnomi/Icarus poker series
i also had a lot of fun to have always sat and played poker with you at one of the tables and am also proud that Icarus may also be a part of the series.
will send a pm today to all participants who have secured one or more Icarus cards.

btw icopress and i will definitely get together again to discuss a continuation of this series.
be calm and stake some sats

Thanks jayce, when I play poker I like to bet in probability and not in the hands. Always have in mind the chances to win and the chance that other guys calls my hands. But Is poker, even if the odds are on your side that doesn't means you will win the hand, luck is a must.

And other basic rules that I follow when playing in poker tournaments are, to play only the 10% or less of your hands, and bet only in hand that you are ready to go all in with.

Congrats to Arallmuus, good win, so as im reading you win the previous series also, so you have the master of poekr here

I played pretty bad yesterday, i was making another thing while playing so i cant concentrate in the game.

See you next time guys!

Congrats to you arallmuus, damn you won every tourney! Thanks to betnomi, icopress and cygan for this tournament, and to other players as well. Cant wait to play the next ones!

During this series, I amazed on how mr.allin was playing. He, arall, yahoo and TyKiwanuka (not sure if he is still playing poker somewhere else) are my favorite poker players in this forum now.

Thanks to Betnomi, to icopress, to cygan, and to all the players. I really enjoy the game and was nice to finish the final table in 3rd place.

I hope all the users enjoy it as much as I did. So, congrats again to all the Winners. And I hope to see more poker community games soon!

Most details are found in the title and 1st couple of posts. The series is over now but was hosted on Betnomi.com and anyone could join. All registration happened on betnomi as well. We did not have a cap, the more who joined the merrier.

As a someone who has never joined to this, few questions:

Is there a another post about this that's explaining the details that i could read?
Can anyone join? How can i join? Where am i registering and paying the entry fee?
What third party poker site are we using? Is there a limit in how many people can join?

Congrats on the win, when I got knocked out icopress was dominating.

Going back up to the issue that was mentioned, I must've missed somewhere that CoinEraser was having a rough time healthwise. Sorry to hear that. I wish you had joined and sat out or something and we avoid the earlier issue.

Wasn't a money issue for me FYI. I don't think it was ever about the money when it was mentioned.

I was in a monthly tourney where 10 players played a live tourney each month with a 240$ buyin each month. We had a small monthly prize but most of the money went into a pool. The person who earned the most points over 10 tourneys got a $10k buyin to the WSOP main event and $2000 cash for expenses. All participants got a share of the prize money if the person who won, made the money as well.

I ended up losing by 1 point to a substitute player. Rubbed me the wrong way and it's the only tourney I've ever been in where subs were allowed. So for me, I would rather be playing against the person who earned the seat vs having to adjust to someone elses play style and possibly luck. IDK just my opinion. No need for the low blows to people because opinions differ on a subject. Heck we all disagree on 1 thing or another at some point.

Thanks for the good luck wish, ended up winning this series again with solely luck  .

@icopress : sorry mate, I had rubbish hands and you had better hands on that last one but somehow it seems luck was on my side tonight. I played really bad tonight, not gonna lie but somehow made it to top 2

@cygan : Thanks for organizing this alongside icopress and found us some sponsors ! I hope we will have a new series in the future

Well we had some issue before the FT but this is a great series and I had some fun with you guys alot, hoping to play with any of you in the future again 

Okay. Thanks for your input. 

I hope you win tonight. GL bro.

Well... precisely this are quotes (your commentaries) that shows why we are in this situation. In fact, I could have come off saying something like what you mention, but it's a poor argument, wow it is.

Money! I say it properly is not the main issue, and this post is not an answer to your "concern", it is reflected in my post history, with examples by the way very recently.

Fortunately, the prize of this FT is a GTD, like so many others, but playing the final table of this series and any other is special, the prize is the least of it, and that in essence is my argument.

Then, I would not advise anyone that if they need money they want to get it by playing poker.

Come on! it doesn't even have to do with nicks/users, I've been here for a few poker series, not all of them, but my point of view would be the same with any user, the forum above all is discussion, it's what gives it life to the healthy discussion that is based on the argument, I have it and that argument is not based on you or money.

The FT of any series in BTT is reached by playing poker.

These two messages that you have written... you are going to continue the tantrum... I was going to ignore the first post, I understand your fever of wanting to reach an FT at all costs, but you are still there with things of money, whining and hints to money.

closed discussion with you.

Thanks for the kind words @Hhampuz. Appreciated.  

However, I just unregistered from the tournament. For me, it hasn't been about the price money, tbh. This whole series has been more of a fun community thing.  

And I wanted to do @CoinEraser a favor, because it looks like he's having a hard time right now. Community spirit, you know. He's always been a kind guy and I wanted to support him.

But if some people here feel robbed of their price money, that's fine. I'll take a step back and I won't play. Says a lot about the ppl crying, but I guess it's always like this if there is money involved.

GL everyone and get well soon @CoinEraser.

I don't think it necessarily is an issue to add a new player if someone says, in good time, they won't be able to make it. However it might be more fair if the next user on the leaderboard who just missed out would get the spot rather than someone handpicked by the user unable to join. Either way, this is supposed to be a friendly low stakes series so it doesn't have to be that serious..

Edit; Just checked the spreadsheet after making the above post too, and it seems bullrun202bro was next in line so it definitely shouldn't be an issue. Perhaps if bullrun202bro would play for himself rather than for CoinEraser that'd make more sense?

Let's just play some poker and see who get's a share of the $500  

Despite the fact that in general I agree with your opinion because it is reasonable.

I sent a PM to bullrun2020bro before I saw your post, so I can't tell him not to register.
