I know I didn't make a single tournament yet but I hope to change that soon. I will hazard a guess and say there was more players this time because of Corona virus outbreak. Situation is getting more serious in my County as well so maybe I will have a forced break from real life soon and consequently some time to join the tournament.

I would also welcome rebuy option, good idea.
16 players was quite nice and it was fun. Though the buy-in was low-ish there wasn't any donkey plays and people were playing normal poker. You could feel there was some pride and glory involved apart from the money
Looking forward to the next tournament(s).

It's bad that tournament without additional buys (at least one time for 50 % of initial poker chips). I was the first one who lost everything (all in kek) and there no chance to come back 
Agreed 1 rebuy would be awesome to add into the next tourney. Some may use it, some may not but it would add to prize pool and give ya a second life.

I feel like there was only 6 in the second tournament but can't say for sure.
While registering today I started to think it might be nice while registration numbers are lower and growing to use a 6 max format. If we start getting over 20 people we could move to 8 max and eventually back to full ring.

Yes, last time there was just 6 of us. I just registered for this tournament and I'm 13! Lucky number or not, we will see!
Good luck to all! I will try to be better than the last time (third place), but more than that I hope we will have a great game like the last time. Tournament just started, beer is here, cigar is here, have a nice time!

Hey guys,
I am restructuring OP a bit - how many players did take part in the past tournaments, can anyone say for sure? 10 in the 1st and 7 in the 2nd? Thx in advance!
Much more important: New tournament going on today, sign up everybody! https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-private-poker-tournament-swc-poker-on-march-15th-come-play-5231393

ok guys, new thread created: Bitcointalk Private Poker Tournament @ SwC Poker on March 15th. COME PLAY!
feel free to chime in there, and start generating a buzz any way you can.
the game is already set up in SwC's tournament lobby. i'll load my account tonight and make sure registration works, then i'll send out the password to all the regulars in here.
i hope to see everyone next sunday!

Hey, i'm in. Please, give me all needed (i mean password in PM, as you said above). 4 pm is good time for me i think. At least i will correct all my activities to that time.
March 07, 2020, 08:46:56 AM
so we'll go with sunday march 15th? @rhomelmabini wants earlier this time. how about 4pm GMT? if there are objections, let me know. i will try to get the game set up a couple days from now.
Hoping that it will come to a consensus and that time is ideal because it is still doable on my end it's around 11 PM I guess on my timezone but if the majority doesn't agree I guess I'm the one who will adjust. Thanks for the consideration @foma. 
it seems like people are cool with it. it's a bit early for me (8am local time) but i think i'll manage. if i'm sitting out losing my blinds, you'll know i slept in.
i will give it one more day to gather opinions but tentatively the game is scheduled for:
sunday march 15th @ 4pm GMT/UTC @ SwC Poker
i will email them tomorrow to set the game up. then i'll create a new thread and send out the password ~ sunday, or monday at the latest.
4pm GMT/UTC is good for me, and I hope it's also good for most of the potential participants.
Since we have more than a week to go before the event, I think it's possible to attract more participants, and one of the ways of achieving that is bumping this thread, from time to time at least.

The time works fine for me.
Lol lice stream might just cook my PC lol. Time delay I'm pretty sure is built in and easy to set up but I will take a look I'm good either way. See everyone at the tables

I am available and ready this weekend too. Would just need to set up an account on SWC, if we play there, but no problem.
Live streaming would be better
I think a seperate "Tournament Announcement Thread" would be good to attract new users/players and make things more clear for newcomers. First post should contain all relevant information and all participating users just make a short confirmation-post. Tournament result is posted afterwards and then a new announcement in that thread for the next tourney, which can be linked to in other threads/boards to advertise.
This thread here should be for general talk about these tournaments then.
If I get to play from home I will try and screen capture the event and show play from my perspective for fun.

Yeah, I absolutely agree, let’s do it like this then. Let’s keep this thread for general discussion about our tournaments and maybe some hall of fame or so.
I ll try to update op accordingly asap. I love the fact it looks like we are getting more and more looking to have some fun poker action!
March 06, 2020, 07:23:06 AM
so when's the next game? the weekend of march 15th maybe?
The date would suit me just fine if nothing important should come up. On sportsbet or again on SwC? 
That would be great! I'm in, unless something unusual happens.
I am also interested in the tournament. problem for me last time was, that I deposited around 45 minutes before the late reg ends, but the confirmation took almost 50 minutes. next time I ll be prepared. Hope there will be a new tournament soon.
I'm also fine with that date, if nothing important come up, as always. I like SwC more than sportbet
I'm fine with the date but if time will be adjusted earlier that will suit me as I'm from Asia. I guess it's best at SwC I really like playing there. So, I think we have to post a new poll and hope this time all that vote will really join, I do hope.
That weekend would work fine for me unless some family stuff comes up. I would prefer to play it on SWC.
I am available and ready this weekend too. Would just need to set up an account on SWC, if we play there, but no problem.
this weekend i could also go to the poker table with you all guys...
we would have to check the starting time...

I would be interested in playing in the next one when is the date and how do I apply to play?
no need to apply. people who post in here or in the announcement thread will get the password via PM. i've added you to the list. the password will also get posted in here the day of the game.
it sounds like we've got some interest for the next game and that people prefer SwC.
