BPS again! Just on  time for the third calendar year, it shouldn't be that long between series.  Cool

I think that adding a buyin that allows an opening to a group of players that gives them access to the series can bring better player traffic and in that sense add new schedules, starting chips, levels, etc.

Likewise, maintain the original series with a buyin of between $ 15 and $ 20 with the appropriate changes that are required according to consensus.

As the title states, I am looking to find out how many of you would be interested in participating in a poker series hosted on Betnomi.com? SERIES from the past so that everyone can take a look.

I'm interested. But

Previously we were playing around 6pm UTC which was good for some, but not others

This was not comfortable time for me. I would like to play at 7pm UTC, because often i wasn't able to come on 6 pm. And yeah, Friday or Saturday in priority. At Sunday i'm mostly busy.

~ I want everyone to post their thoughts so we can try to get as many in as we can. Everyone may not be able to play every week but a person can miss a game and still be ok.

I participated in all previous Bitcointalk Poker Series, and I can confirm that a game or two can be missed without a huge damage to your position in the leaderboard. But, of course, the more games you play, the better. Smiley

Just an FYI, I was given the ok to make this super large if I wanted. Just something to think about, but this could get as large as 5k.

You mean, $5k added by Betnomi to the prize pool? That's a big number. Maybe if added to the title, it could get more interest to the thread. Smiley

I suppose we are talking about tourney format. How long is that supposed to last? I guess if there are 10-12 players like last time it can't last long, unless the ratio between the starting stack and the size of the blinds is high (and the speed of the increase not very high).
~

It can last for more than 3 hours even with 10-12 players. Btw, were you playing last time, or were you watching those amazing streams by @Globb0? Those were great times. I remember rewatching the games with my wife later. Globb0 is an awesome commentator, hope he'll join us this time.

~ I suppose that at the end of the tournaments we will also comment hands and plays in the forum, right?

That's right, we were always doing it. Looking at your forum name, I can't wait to be playing with you. Join up! Smiley

Amazing to see that we are talking about another poker series. Hell ya I’m interested. With new year gearing up we should start with this right away.

I have enrolled myself into the previous series few times. Had amazing experiences with the whole team. Few of them names were always on the winning list so had good adrenaline time playing all the time.

Suggestions:
Well two series should be there per week. This increases the chances for everyone to get on board.
Point system should be the same with number of winners should be more. I mean at least there should be some sort of perks for the runners ups too. Just to keep everyone motivated.  Tongue

I was not part of the last series but this time am all in, what a way to start the year with a new poker series I believe the old-time still work for me, or any time within weekends is ok for me am very flexible this period.

I personally haven't tried to play higher than .28/.56 cent blinds but most of the players at that level and below have been terrible. I don't guarantee you'll win every hand or anything like that, after all it is poker. I'm just saying anyone with half a brain about the game could do well. As far as traffic goes, there are 10-15 tables of small stakes running right now.

1k per day I seriously doubt, but maybe 1k over a week or so time I think could be possible. Depends on your skill level and stakes you are in. Omaha games are pretty juicy as well if anyone is an omaha player.

I don't think any tracking software would work on here.

LMAO. I was thinking more like $1K a month. If I was able to earn $1K daily from poker I would'nt be in the Best Change signature campaign earning about $500 a month. I know $1K a month wouldn't be considered to earn a living in the US or many other countries but it's a pretty decent amount considering how tough the game has become in the recent years.

Jokes and considerations aside, can you pass me your affiliate link? I prefer to use it, because if I have known the site has been for you, and so I thank you, although I can not assure you that I will play a lot there. I'll take a look and see.

On the other hand, in principle I am interested in the Poker series. Better on the weekend, although if it was on Wednesday and it doesn't take more than a 2-3 hours I could also do it. I suppose that at the end of the tournaments we will also comment hands and plays in the forum, right?

The last series had 10 minutes blind increase and 20000 chips starting stack so it last well over 2 hours, close to 3 hours until we get a winner ( sometimes its over 3 hours depending on how the heads up goes ) . Well actually it could have been way faster but it was a small community game so everyone pretty much got familiar of how each other play so its kinda hard to trap which is why it kinda last longer

I find it hard to believe what you say. Are you saying that $1K or more can be earned on that site? Is there enough traffic for it all the time?

On the other hand, I guess you can't use Holdem Manager or Poker Tracker, is that correct?

I have played the cash games quite a bit on Betnomi and the players suck. The regulars from our series I think could make a living on the poker from Betnomis site. Just my opinion, but we have some really good players in the series that could do well.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.
So... I believe this could be a small problem, but not a very serious one.

Do you believe that it is necessary for us to create some voting regarding the days of the week, time and quantity?

Or can this be defined in the future!!?
Not a problem on my part on what will be the consensus of the many as I said I can adjust to the timing if I can besides I have more time to spare this coming weeks and months.

I guess it's a necessary to vote so that it's neat for those who'll join before the game starts, that's what I think. Better to plan it ahead.

Just an FYI, I was given the ok to make this super large if I wanted. Just something to think about, but this could get as large as 5k.
Well, that's for sure huge. You mean that's the max prize pool they want to sponsor? Not gonna miss this even I'm not a pro poker player, just in it for fun with the forum individuals here.

Looks like I'm in it again if it's the weekend, the time will always be the problem for us Asian people but if it will be on the weekends I might gonna make it? Not familiar with betnomi guys but I'll take a look on the accepted currencies.

I do like that point system from the past, I get the chance to experience it and no complain on that. I'm into both weekends and $8 buy-in, nvm the time I'll be the one to adjust. I think we can get that 20+ attendance.

There will be for sure a game on the weekend, that seems to be when the most people are off. I would like to see a game throughout the week as well, but that's gonna depend on the interest shown.

Some users may have jobs IRL and cannot do the weekday game if we had 1. Whatever we decide to do as far as the series goes, its not gonna be the perfect scenario for all. I just hope we can get a bigger number interested cause the last series was 10-12 people max playing which was disappointing.

Most people that is seemingly showing interest now took part in that and want it to be the same which is why I'm a bit skeptical. I think there is potential to increase the interest in this but things may need to be drastically different.

Do you have any timeframe as of when to launch/start this or just asap? Smiley
No timeframe yet, was considering starting within 2 weeks. Just gaging interest currently.

Im interested though I dont know for sure I will regularly attend or not but certainly if I have the time I cant see why not as I play Poker for fun anyway, send me or post the affiliate link to sign up with please.   Was it Betnomi I played previously and came 2nd or 3rd I think it was, end of series free roll.   I will have to practice a bit and get back upto speed.  I do imagine there is a vast number of casuals who should be practicing and then are more likely to step up and partake properly, some people have a talent and dont know it yet; its not too big a game to (re)learn quite quickly.
I can send you a link here in a few mins. Hopefully you can commit to the whole series.

What are you all doing during the weeks that you can't put aside an hour or two towards this?  Cheesy

2 tournaments per week I can definitely not handle! Please just stay with 1 tournament per week on each Sunday.
Similar rules as last time

Totally down for the next series ! I miss having poker with the community

How about 2 per week? Wednesdays and Sundays, I'm in if so.

Lets go ! Im good with twice a week as well

I think we can get that 20+ attendance.

I dont think we can, probably max of 15 if there is alot of interest on this series



Should we stick with $15 for the buy in like the previous series though? even if we decided to go with twice a week, its still not an obligation for everyone to join all the games so some people could always stick with weekend games if they prefer to do so.

I'm in as always, but definitely could not do midweek.

Was thinking we could have two tiers and two games at once:

Low roller $10 and below
high roller $20 and up

Obviously there will be a cap, but I'm open to anything. Sunday UTC does seem to work very well due to Soccer being on at the same time.
