sir i really want a swc poker tournment number 8 password, If you send it to me i'll be so Thanks fully,

i assume you mean the "week 8 event winners freeroll"? you need to have won a quarantine series event last week to gain entry to that. Wink

there are some open freerolls listed here you might be interested in: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/poker-games-that-are-providing-free-plays-to-earn-real-money-5248955

Hey here is my address bitcoin:1GFpUVJ4RyMWTFeeQ1rc3Nr5SwpUb33pih
Ore just transfer it on SwC Poker to ceehe.
What ever you like 😉
Thank you again and i hope I see you all next time 😎✌️

Sorry about the delay, and thanks to figment for notifying me;)

I've sent you directly to this address but I only send 0.00075, here's the transaction hash: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/dc5341c68833fef8b424b5e7b072f88bfca20370e2213ee61d828c1684894201

I will send you the remainder of it in chips (250) when my transaction hits SWC! Sorry for that, haha. I was just trying to clear up all my smaller wallets =D

@figment I probably will try to make it to this particular game, but it will depend highly again on the family condition of the day. Incredible amount of txs in mempool (considering price) though I suppose 20+sats for reasonable confirmation is a far cry from 2017/18!

Hey everyone here is the link to the video. This is unedited and has no sound.
https://youtu.be/pXIja64WXP0

There are 4 videos total up to my elimination. I don't have a lot of videos on the channel so you can easily find the others.

First 2 videos were done at 15 minutes due to my account login problem then a long one until a break, and 20 minutes or so until my elimination.

Feel free to discuss my play just try and get a timestamp so I can review it easier.
I discuss hands and strategy here

@ceehe well done! As figment says, just post your btc address here and I'll pop in my contribution as promised;) Always say you never bluff, as that's the baddest bluff=p

@efialtis: Now that's really funny... and so generational too. I hate A+facecards btw. Makes me psychologically feel like I could win no matter what and makes me bet funny.

When I flopped a pair of Kings with my pocket AK, I went all-in



and lost to youcantwin(efialtis) with his pocket Aces. That's how I finished on the 12th place this time. Smiley

Overall I'm glad I managed to last for more than one hour. It was a great game, guys!

@Steamtyme, good job with making those clips! Can't wait for the link! (And, yeah, I'm playing with my wife beside me too. Smiley )

~ next weekend? the weekend after? i'm open.....

Same here, mate. Let's hear from others.

To save some time for tyKiwanuka, the hand you said you would check the video I had 88, I believe it was a 10 high flop.
Early on when I re-raised you  on that river I had the nut flush. It was 2 hearts on the flop and a 3rd on the turn I believe.

Alright, thanks. Yes, was 10 high flop, I had AQs. Don't remember exactly what I had in that first hand you mentioned, maybe when I watch your clips, I will remember.

Damn that set over set was brutal figmentofmyass. Before I knew what you had, I figured strong A or some strong pocket pair I turned to the wife and said "I'm going to feel bad for this hand".

In the end i couldn't hold, figured I had the strongest hand with my pair of Jacks but the flush draw got there. GG all.

I did get 4 clips 2 at 15 minutes each. One over an hour and then 20 minutes until I got eliminated. I'll get them on youtube in the next day or so hopefully.

16 players, best turnout yet!

i got crippled on a set vs set hand. Steamtyme slow played a flopped 999, i hit 222 on the turn. naturally i called his all-in. i never recovered after that. i think i got knocked out 10th after short stack shoving KT vs KJ.

i'll check back later today to see how things turned out. 1st place gets an extra 0.002 BTC (half from me and half from @buwaytress).

i don't recognize the current 1st and 2nd place. (ceehe and ElGambino) too bad. if an unknown player wins, we'll have to send the extra winnings via p2p transfer on SwC.

ElGambino, ceehe, abcd1234x being 3 that I dont recognize.  I'm all for new players joining but being as it's a forum game they should post their names from their accounts.

Never know, could all 3 be the same player. Just my opinion.

Of course 1 of the 3 mentioned names donked me. KK

I have played some Cash Game in the last days to unlock the chat feature and get accustomed to the UI. Saw Iv4n on the tables making big money Grin Software/Connection is very stable, suffered no lags or disconnection. The button arrangement is a bit strange in web version, since they are positioned left hand. And the chat window is overlapping with the table, which is inconvenient:



I would recommend using the client for playing, since this is more like one is used to in other poker sites.

Unfortunately there is not a lof players. Tried to play a Sit&Go, but it takes ages to fill up Tongue

sending out a last minute PM reminder now.....

Since most users have their avatar and sig space spoken for, would all in the tourney agree to let the winner have all losers make a message for losers PM space? For example if I won you'd all have to put yahoo62278 owns me in poker. Or something along those lines. Nothing derogatory or ridiculous.

Anyone have any complaints on this?

lol, i'm in. why not? that will make things a little more interesting. Tongue

Just wondering, is it okay to enter with multiple account? Might worth a shot for some people to go with multiple account instead of one

This is a private fun tournament and though some money is involved, this is not supposed to be an event to just look for your own financial benefits. You can think of it as kind of socialzing in times of social distancing due to Corona Grin So you can judge for yourself, if it's appropriate to join with multiple accounts Wink

Nah no worry Im just asking and curious about it, not planning to do that though

It's actually against SwC policy to play in multiple accounts I believe. If you are caught you risk losing all the funds in both(or more accounts) and having all accounts banned.

Multiple players in the same home are welcome to play at SwC Poker, but not at the same cash tables, tournaments, or sit & gos. This is from their house rules.

2 days 18 hours until the tourney starts. get in the game! 0.001 BTC buy-in, post here or PM for the password!

I propose to raise the buy-in to 0.0025 BTC next time.

What do you guys think about this?

with the BTC price crash, our $10 buy-in has now dropped to $5.75! Tongue

i'm open, if that's what others want. let's gather some more opinions though. we have plenty of time before the next game gets set up. +1 johhnyUA, i'm just here to have fun. i don't need a huge prize pool either.

Neither do I interested in a big prize pool. And I didn't mean to encourage anyone to play higher stakes, sorry if it looked that way.

I play poker for fun, not only this time, but always. I myself rarely buy tickets worth more than $3, and after playing hundreds of games on SwC Poker my Krill Wave is still "Baby Seal" there. Smiley

Yeah, maybe by renaming it to “Quarantine Poker Tournament” we could draw more attention to it. Smiley

By the way, I just got registered for this Sunday's tourney and we now got a total of 6 players but hoping we can get more since there are still 3 more days to go before we roll.

I propose to raise the buy-in to 0.0025 BTC next time.

I am good with it and we'll see if this will really attract more players, we'll never get a result unless we try. Good suggestion by yahoo62278.

After reading all the comments on this thread and another one dedicated to the previous tournaments, I have a feeling that all of us would agree on 0.0025 buy-in.

We are wondering why do we have so few participants each time, but maybe yahoo62278 is right in saying that good poker players can be discouraged by too small prize pool.

I'm pretty sure I am in. I will register that day, if I can't make it in my registration fee will be sent as a bonus. I'm doing this so I don't put dead chips on the table. Probably 75/25 between first and second.

If I can play that also means I'll be at home and able to screencapture the tournament which could make for some fun later on.

@yahoo you're not wrong but the nice thing is this brings in players if all skill level. It can make it hard to play good poker but I've also seen I believe betwrong have strong consistent showings playing solid poker.

I'd love to see us with something like 20+ players for a good time. This also reminds me I've been meaning to check out some of their other tournaments just for something new; wouldn't hurt to be able to chat as well.

EDIT:
In order to increase the attention, I made a post in the german local board -> Bitcointalk Privates Poker Turnier Nr. 3 am 15. März 2020

good stuff, thanks!

I thought it was originally announced that there was a .001 buyin? Maybe I just seen the .001 donation to the pool idk.

If the OP wants to send me the password I may play but I'd be more interested in a .005 buyin game or .0025 just to give the winner or winners some cash.

it is a 0.001 BTC buy-in. with 5 players, the prize pool stands at 0.005 BTC. (+ the 0.001 BTC i'm paying the winner)

i wish we could run a GTD tourney but we're just a few people running a friendly game. buwaytress may be adding 0.0025 BTC to the pool too, waiting for confirmation on that.

I would be fine with a higher buy-in, but to attract more players, I think it is fine for now. Maybe there could be some high-roller tournaments in the future Wink

I guess for most people, including me, it's not about making profits, but more the fun aspect to play some poker with users from this forum.

same. i'm open to higher buy-ins but the consensus was that small stakes would attract the most players.

8$ prize pool is not enticing anyone.

I thought it was originally announced that there was a .001 buyin?

0.001 is the buy-in, so the price pool is of course bigger. The more people register, the bigger the price pool.

The buy-in was chosen and agreed upon, to give everyone a chance of participating without having to spend a fortune. I would be fine with a higher buy-in, but to attract more players, I think it is fine for now. Maybe there could be some high-roller tournaments in the future Wink

I will send you the password via PM.
Yea I see that the buyin is .001 0 entry fee. Confused me for a sec.

Having fun is ok but with very little money on the line I dont think people play good poker. Just donkey and pray.

3 players have registered so far, and the tournament limit is 1,000. Smiley

How many of 120k bitcointalk active users love to play poker? My guess is 1k at least. So, what we need is spreading the word. More than 5 days left until the start. C'mon, guys, we can do it! Let's make it 30+ this time.
There are likely many who play poker but noone really wants to play a small private game for barely any money. 8$ prize pool is not enticing anyone.

I thought it was originally announced that there was a .001 buyin? Maybe I just seen the .001 donation to the pool idk.

FYI you need earn at least 1 krill (SwC's rakeback program, see here) before you're allowed to chat at the tables.
Oh, I don't have any krill there yet. So if I don't say anything in the chat, don't be surprised.  Cool

I also registered a few minutes ago. Now we are 4 players.  Wink



EDIT:
In order to increase the attention, I made a post in the german local board -> Bitcointalk Privates Poker Turnier Nr. 3 am 15. März 2020

i just want to throw that out there since private games are a lot more fun when everyone can chat. just play a few raked micro stakes hands before the game and you should be all set. Wink

Every time I see this post makes me feel I should make the effort but I have tough working shifts and this time it is a Sunday for me so I have to sit this one out,,, unless I can find a way to sneak in some time on mobile!

good news, the html5 client is decent on mobile. this is how it looks on a little iphone:



they also have an android client, i haven't tested it myself: https://swcpoker.eu/download

I signed up with SwC poker today and registered for the next tournament. My handle is EnterScreenN - they only allow up to 12 characters, wtf Grin GL everyone.

i know right, super annoying. my name didn't fit. Tongue

Yikes, I really want to join this one but i'm afraid that I might not be able to play right on time.

there is 1 hour late registration, if that makes a difference.

Yikes, I really want to join this one but i'm afraid that I might not be able to play right on time. If I am able to use some of my time to play poker then I would join no doubt. I just played online poker the other day but only less players and it's only free roll and if I did spend money to buy in then there's not much player in it compare to free rolls match.

Only 6 players the last round? What happened to the 1st round was that not even more?

First tournament was held at Sportsbet and technically it was more players, but some of them were afk, so only around 6 were actively playing iirc. Lets hope, we will get a good core of regular players.

Every time I see this post makes me feel I should make the effort but I have tough working shifts and this time it is a Sunday for me so I have to sit this one out,,, unless I can find a way to sneak in some time on mobile! Problem is if I keep sneaking time I will probably need to ask a partner to cover for me.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.
Thanks for setting up it again at SwC @foma and thanks for that additional prize pool too. I guess I'll register later on at the platform and to those who are interested especially those that afraid about the KYC then don't be worried SwC is really a cool casino and they are not that strict. Hoping this time we'll get more players because the last time we are only 6 players. Can't wait for a flop again with these amazing players!
