Looking forward to this one. Why not let anyone join the final tournament? The better player did in the series the more starting chips he'd start in the final, that will give him the advantage of course but also won't discourage others to stop playing the series.

Thanks for the PM. Finally a new Bitcointalk Poker Series. Awesome. Since I have already played in several poker tournaments on Bitcointalk in the past and always had a lot of fun, I would of course also participate in this series (if my time allows it). 
Thanks for hosting this @cygan & @icopress and lovely Icarus cards ofc. You guys really manage to create awesome new collectibles pretty fast. The collectibles community is striking back stronger than ever. I love to see that, amazing!
I would agree, depending on how many dollars one Bitcoin is worth when the tournament series starts, 1mBTC might be a bit high - although I personally think that amount is best.
That was for example the reason why I could not participate in the last tournament series. I simply didn't have time on all dates and then decided that it doesn't make sense to play only about half of it. Make it short, fun and then restart. I personally wouldn't make it longer than five weeks, but it's up to you guys. I just hope that enough members can be found who want to participate in the tournaments.
Haha true, haven't seen him in ages.

I think that 1mBTC would be feasible for everyone. I wouldn't set it too high, as it could scare off potential players.

I'm thinking about having a 5 week tournament (4 games + final table). And restart. The problem of the last tournament was that after 4 weeks some users stopped playing because they did not see the prospect of making it to the final table. A strategy to reduce in-game weeks should fix this issue (I think).

I would be happy to see old faces here. I think especially of @efialtis

What do you think? I personally would prefer a 1 mBTC entry fee (but I think even $15 would be a reasonable amount).

Since I assume that Betnomi as a sponsor will certainly contribute something, the prize pool will probably be attractive enough.
I've played a few tournaments this week and it's been smooth sailing for me (although my VPN is sometimes junk).
That sounds good. Then it looks like they put a lot of effort into updates.
I don't want to bash it in any way before I've tested it again... just in the past it wasn't a nice gaming experience. I'll take a look this weekend, I'm curious how the traffic looks there at all.

- What format will there be - mainly a tournament on Sunday?
Yes, I'm leaning towards 6pm UTS (but that's still an open question).Quote
- A series with leaderboard? I just think of the events from before.

- Were there any updates to the Betnomi client? I can remember that 1 1/2 - 2 years ago there were often bugs or you were disconnected from the connection and thus left some chips.

That are some good news! I'm looking forward to it again and will certainly be there - just like in the old days with SwC! ;-)
However, I still have a few questions:
- What format will there be - mainly a tournament on Sunday?
- A series with leaderboard? I just think of the events from before.
- Buyins?
- Were there any updates to the Betnomi client? I can remember that 1 1/2 - 2 years ago there were often bugs or you were disconnected from the connection and thus left some chips.
That would be very counterproductive in this case.

Also, I suck at poker but I'll put a prize on my head each week to the tune of 0.015BTC which means that if you take me out in any of the weeks you are basically freerolling the rest of the tournament.

this thread will primarily be used for the many discussions around the tournaments but also (in this phase now) to discuss with you the rules like how many games, on which days, buy-in, blinds, stakes etc.
the finalized rules i would write down in the second post then
i hope now that we (icopress and me) will see old but also new faces who want to play with us at the tables for the chips
icopress will support me with the whole organization and will also be the one who will be in contact with the betnomi ceo so that everything can run smoothly.
if you like to play the poker tournaments on your own computer in a desktop version, you are welcome to download the respective versions for your system
