Well, I have to say I'm surprised by the response. It's so hard these days to get the forum together to get into pools or other tourneys, and yet poker seems to have a big draw, even for those who don't know how to play! Should really look into the psychology of gamblers here. Is it the title that says exclusive?
Anyway, can't wait for the deets and timing. If it's pushed back too early though I may actually miss it, but I'll do as SyGambler promised, I'll throw in my buy-in regardless.

Hey fellas, I read only the initial post and I'm interested as well.
The only thing that can screw me is time, I never know how my weekends will look like in advance.
If I can join at the last second, I'll keep watching the thread and jump in whenever I have the chance.

On the left navigation under "popular" you can choose poker:
very strange---under that heading i can see "fantasy" "horse racing" "player props" and "virtual sports" but not "poker!" i tried switching browsers and using my android, same thing.
i contacted support and the agent said i should gain access to the poker area after making a 0.002+ BTC deposit. strange policy! i'll give it a try later tonight.
i sorted this out. you can only see the poker section after switching your currency to BTC. i guess that's what the "BTC only" heading means. since i selected USD during registration, i couldn't see it. sportsbet.io should do something about that. lots of people (who play using dollars or ETH etc) probably don't even realize the poker room exists!
anyway, my account is funded and good to go. count me in!
Not that it makes a big difference being geared as a good time, but what sort of cut does sportsbet grab from these private games?
it looks like they charge 10% rake, pretty standard.
Awesome and thanks for the heads up - here in Germany sportsbet is only available in crypto so I wasnt aware of that.
Guys, looks like we could be around 20 players (even though I expect that some wont show up) - if we can attract some more that would be cool. As mentioned before, I will provide some more details in a few days. Anything else we have missed maybe?

sounds like we should push it back for Steamtyme too! 
I'm sure I'll be fine this way I know for sure I won't punt off my stack with pockets in the first hand... probably.Sounds like we should have a decent turnout. Not that it makes a big difference being geared as a good time, but what sort of cut does sportsbet grab from these private games?

Well, the number of participants now has increased. I am excited about the update and I hope there are more getting interested in this tournament. The more players participated and sitting in a room the more fund we get.
Probably you need to set now guidelines.

Okay guys, I am finalizing the details with sportsbet´s poker guys and will update you asap - early next week! Cannot wait for our tournament to happen!

Sorry my friends,,, I do not think I can make it for this game then. The time is not too bad but it will still be late night,,, and in case it lasts much longer I do not think I can play on.
3pm GMT is 11pm for me. Sunday night is not possible to stay up late as I must wake up at 5 am on Mondays. I need my beauty sleep especially for Monday:(

There is no minimum number of participants really but right now I am really getting excited since many of you have posted their interest to take part - very happy about that guys!

oooh piece of candy. lol
Awesome, and it sounds like there could already be dead money at play
I am dependent on schedule but could probably make it work. Only issue I see for me is that I will not be at home, can you run the poker client on mobile? Maybe I'll pop on and do some digging around tonight.
If I can play from my phone then I will definitely be in for that game. If not I can't make it work, as I think that would push the limits of what my job will continue to let me get away with on the wifi,
I would probably be about 5 minuted late on starting but that's alright.

i think you can just register into the game then you can make it away for 5 minutes after that you can play it back?
btw i just wondering how many people that the room will starts?

sounds like we should push it back for Steamtyme too!

Sounds interesting. Will participants use their Bitcointalk Usernames or something? I probably will just watch members play and see how well everything goes. Hope watching is allowed.
Will probably set an alarm for this

I think this looks great. Count me in.
But how about the long term plan? Is this your own game or you will acquire a room/server from a certain gamesite?

I'm in. Have a funded account.
January 16, 2020, 08:54:41 PM
Cool, looks like we are getting more and more. And yes, poker can be played on mobile!
Well sounds like I'm in. 2:15 would be perfect but I can make it work regardless. I'll get around to creating an account in the meantime and funding it. Iirc @El duderino_ was a poker player as well so maybe I'll shoot them a PM if the @ thingy doesn't work. And yes, poker can be played on mobile! January 16, 2020, 07:25:55 PM
