Topic: Twitch.tv/Globb0 new poker home game - Low buy in (usualy around $300 in prizes) - page 3. (Read 997 times)

I’d love to watch the livestream if you’re going to put this on Twitch, by looks like I’ll be forced to watch reruns since I also live at the other side of the world (GMT+2). You are going to upload the recorded games there right?

Getting the hang of poker for recreation is always something I wanted to do.

That is 11 PM in my part of the woods, a bit late for me unfortunately so not making any promises. Will try to be there but there is so much stuff that could go wrong, most probably I will be a bit tipsy and half asleep by that time. Hate to play poker when I don't feel like sitting behind the desk, knowing myself that can only end with calling all in every hand better than 82.

Good new my friend its every week!  *edit* oh its at 10pm UK 5PM Est Sorry *edit*

Here is the initial schedule... I need to do some more work on the spreadsheet today break out the detal a little bit more.



And as you can see I set a review point after November, we can tweak stuff and maybe do a reset if we need to.

Come to the stream early to play some games and maybe win your entry fee. 


Thanks for supporting my new fun thing, sundays is still to look forward  to.


PS I am streaming thanksgiving too, for the chefcat radio people. It will be fun

I believe you had fun last night, as always! Last Sunday was my working day,  so I missed your first game on SwC, I hope there will be more in the future
Share more details about this Sunday challenge, and your plans... I will try to join since I am free (except some outdoor launch), and probably we will play btctalk series, so it can be a nice poker evening for me!

Its the weekend. Plenty of Chefcatradio.com action.

Tonight 8EST 1AM UK time, its the Friday night Chefcatradio.com and poker on SwC good prizes.

Saturday is the Chef Cat Saturday shocker with coverage from FlopNothing on twitch.


Sunday is my big sunday league game. Will you be one of the team BTCT players to challenge Team ChefCat ?



Goodluck

Thanks we are growing that's nice too.

I hope late reg can help you it goes for a while.

Hey man, I'll try and play when/if I can. Just saw it's about 4pm for me which is not ideal - either leaving or headed to work and/or going to be eating with the family lol.

If I get the chance to join I will jump in for sure sometime. Either way good on you growing the stream and keeping it fun.

Yeah, I stole this game from Amerikas

Its cool really they are great guys, please do join us. Im excited to see everyone doing well in the series.


Thanks for the positive comments.

P.S. Glad the time works for someone, tell yo friends *thumbs*

Double P.S. my spread sheet doesn't look as nice as you guys one. I need to raise my game. 

chefcatradio---you're running those games now? look at @Globb0 blowing up on the interwebz!

so this is a weekly affair then? i was too busy for poker this past weekend but my schedule is finally freeing up going forward. 10pm UK time = 2pm local time for me. perfect, for once!

Man that was awesome my first week and 29 entries we more than doubled the 0.007,500 guarantee (.016k+). Nice one everyone who made it.


So now we have our first ever leader board and leaders...…






Nice one. Cant wait for week 2.  


Get in the game!

Globb0

The UK start of the Sunday Social is 10 PM.

Hope to see you there.

(Thanks to FM for my new picture) 

Thanks man for quoting me or I would not know about it and god knows when I would discover it LOL

Hey man, I have not checked with SwC yet. What UK time your one is starting? We have EPL matches especially Liverpool match and I do not want to get engaged in anything else while the match is on 😛

Hi! @BlackFor3st  -Welcome New Poker Home Game-

It may seem strange to you because traditional game casino players are used to putting 0.15 in and getting a 100x -500x - 1000x multiplier and it's fun, I just do it.

But the appreciation with poker is different, very different, mainly because it depends on the variance and although many believe that the variance is intrinsic to the game of poker it comes mainly from the players.

The more players in a tournament, the more variance it has, that is why many like the Sit&Go allows you to have an (average to good) ITM of 30% -45%, we should talk about other things there, but whatever that dimension is enough . Actually an ITM * in Sit & Go only works if you do a lot of top 2s.

Now in MTT tournaments if you have the same or similar to the ITM * it would have an ROI above 50% and you would be earning a lot of money, in fact an ITM of that percentage is bestial for tournaments with player registration above 90 players.

So in poker, big green five-figure prizes with low buy-ins ($ 11 to $ 200) from hundreds of players to thousands of players, now the interesting thing about crypto poker is that you get very good prizes in relation to the buy-in - guaranteed the reason for the low traffic and the concept of MTT, because although they are  classified as tournaments they are not "MTT," they are Sit&Go.

So you should not have an appreciation only of the "guaranteed" prize but of the field of players against whom you would have to face, but still that is not the key to pay a buy-in, the key is to know what your ITM is for a certain field of players, that can serve as a guide, to know how many buy-in you need to play that tournament.

That is, if the next time the entry is $ "XY" for a prize that you mention ~ $ 2000 to $ 20000 that if you add  "k" at the end I would have to add three more zeros, come on! a matter of clicks I guess, You should not put money there, unless according to your bankroll control or according to your ITM you can say I have bankroll, if I can invest in that tournament, because you may be very good at playing poker, but the $"XY"buyin purchase relationship is always giving you a chance to win.

Finally, all this is to tell you that in this particular case "new poker home game" (Globb0), the past "bitcointalk private poker series" (efialtis and collaborators) and another that is running on Betnomi "FreeRoll Sunday All Welcome (yahoo62278) What he really seeks is to create the poker environment, a sub-community of poker players who are frequent every Sunday to play between nicknames known from the forum.

In other words, the award is an added value in this case. For big prizes it is easy to go to the lobby of any casino.

If I prove myself with this game (I guest hosted it twice before) so why not?

There could be more and I may try and please another geographical zone.



All the best bro



Black forest if you join it can grow. It wont be that small because there are already regular players.

Give me a sponsor if you have one. I have in principle agreement from a sponsor or 2 but I couldn't wait.

Hey Globb0 nice to see you really moving up in poker. I did really badly in all the SwC poker rounds early in the year, almost always out in bottom 20% of players, despite really trying my best.

10pm UK time is unfortunately sleep am for me so best of luck:)

Prizes are not that high because it is only between $100-$300 and will vary base on the number of the participants, it will be good if there
will be someone who will be willing to put up a good amount of prize so you can get a good amount of poker players.

As you can see, even if the entry is a little bit big but the prizes are huge then you can expect that there will be more players that will try
to win the prize meaning there will be many players that are willing to join. Though I can see that it is only a small tournament but I will be
willing to join next time if the prizes will range from $2000k to $20000k.

Great not long to go now.

Does anyone know how to get stats out of SwC?

Especialy good would be the list of player names, perhaps in finishing order?

TIA if to know something.

Thanks

The Rolling Stones !!  
New Poker Home Game, we'll be there ... in play.

Great Globb0.

Yeah, Satellites or Tiny Turbo.
For the micro-limiters or those who are start, there are some mtt 50 Chip satellites there and even some Tiny Turbos [500GTD] that can be used to choose alternative routes if they are managed in the minimum rules of 20 buyins of the tournament cost.

If you are rusty or starting these alternatives can serve you. Join NPHG.

Haha you beat me I been playing USA games starting about 1AM. Sorry about that bud. Still its just a start. 

I have updated the OP as you have suggested.

Thanks for your help.

Great one Globb0! Since match is scheduled at 10PM UK time, it will be 3:30AM in India so I most probably won't able to make to it. However, I will register and if my body allows, I will try to play for first 30 minutes or so.


Actually SwC coins are pegged to the value of bitcoin such that 1BTC = 1,000,000 chips. So it would be 0.000250 BTC buy-in in other words. I think forum members will appreciate if you express the buy-in and rewards in the terms bitcoins for easy understanding.
