Live Poker Stream Friday 26th of August - Information and Discussion Thread

[LetsGiveItASpin]

For last week's thread, go here: https://casinogrounds.com/forum/topic/45859-poker

Hey guys,

Beginning Friday 19th of August until September 16th, we will have a weekly poker Cash Game starting at 7PM CEST live from Portomaso Casino! If you're in Malta, feel free to come and say hello! Portomaso also has daily tournaments and cash games that you can play in. The Malta Poker Festival is also hosted by Portomaso, see the schedule down below.

Viewer rewards:
Everyone watching the poker stream on Spinz will get rewards for doing so, remember you'll have to be logged in and watch the stream from Spinz to get the rewards.
If you don't have an account at Spinz yet, make one by clicking below:

As a viewer feel free to discuss hands etc. here but remember to keep a friendly tone both in this thread and on the stream! 

 

Basic summary:

This is a cash game, not a tournament so if a player loses their money they have at the table, they can buy in again (as long as they want and can afford it).

The stakes will be €5/5/10/20 but you'll see people straddling way higher than that 

Buy in will be a minimum of €1,000 and no maximum, same if you decide to reload.

If a player wins with 7-2 or 8-2, all other players will have to give them €50 each (yes, this game will be action packed!)

Phones are not allowed at the table.

Viewers will be able to see the cards on Twitch and YouTube but you have a 15 minute delay to make sure game integrity is maintained.

Chip denomination:

So tomorrow is another game, good luck to everyone who will join

[TimoSchellekens]

My feedback:

I know its not the normal thing to do in poker but maybe change positions every 2 hours? We could hardly see Roynaldos pretty face and maybe fun to have new neighbours

Also please add the amount of rebuys to a screen so we can see who busted.

Lastely I think it would be more fun to have the same starting balance for all instead of only Kim starting with 10x as much

[mrjackkiller TN]

it's good to see you on these streams! I would definetly come and say hello when I will be in Malta!

 

I hope we will hear a mega ding ding ding when winning a massive Pot!

 

Cheers guys!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll discuss the shuffle of players with the others, personally I don't mind  

I'd love if you guys could help with the reubys, tomorrow everyone (including me) will start with 1-2k and reload a lot. I don't think we could fit it on the screen but we have net win and net loss.

All the best,
Kim

Wait whaaat? You on Malta now ? Bro will join you today in Portomasso for sure ) 

[Janalleman]

Would love to see some variation, like a few POV hands in the mix.

This could be very exciting due to the 15min delay, you already know the action.
Judging from the level of professionalism I've seen last week, I'm certain u can pull it off.

It will also silence the hindsights and bracelet winners in chat.

These are so much fun. Thanks all involved putting these together. MUCH love.

[Biasletti]

Personally, I'm skipping these streams. For some reason i'm not really enjoying them, don't know why. For me it feels quite boring, even though it seems to be a great time. I somehow like the closer interaction on normal gambling streams, even though I really love to play poker.
It's something different, but not for me.

[eric_the_tall]

Feedback: Jack is great as a host. Do whatever you have to keep him doing these! If that is a raise, OKAY! Thanks Jack.

[TheBingoKingx]

Great watch

 

They should do this like the old PokerStars show with the loose cannon, but then with a viewer or a random guy from the casino. That would be hilarious, haha.

[TimoSchellekens]

Again a great stream. Having 1 person less on the table really helped for the viewers (no more awkward camera angles).

I would suggest telling Roy to put on a pair of pants next time, rumour has it he was walking around in his boxers all night 😅

[ncis88]

I love you guys. I love how you all play slots how to teach us to play against casinos. 

 

But this poker is criminal. Sorry to say that. This limit is a joke all of you and you cant assess the value of money.. the perfect example that kim 3bet 30bb!!! And the guest instacall with j2.. and flopped a poker. I love Moritz too, but he also play with everything. Its not poker, its heads and tails.

 

I know you try to entertain the community but its not more then few rich handsome great guy play poker with "play money"

[WolverineWisdom]

Hi. First two streams have been great, and there is alot of work and production that goes into them.

Question: during week 1 the player audio was too low to hear on max volume for my phone and laptop.  Are there any staff actually doing Quality Control of the stream to make adjustments?

We did a lot of checks before the 2nd stream, was the sound better? From what I've seen when rewatching it it was a lot better.

[WolverineWisdom]

Yes, the sound was definitely better week 2.  8 player table for Nl Hold Em is a great number.  

I haven't watched the week 3 stream yet, but will in the next couple days. I heard Kim won AGAIN huge, by sucking out!
