Edit/MH: Posts moved from old Seals With Clubs thread.

Update on Seals site.
TL;DR: SealsWithClubs will not come back with his current team, you gotta withdraw. Micon will start swcpoker.eu with that new software though.

... is there a guide or some step-by-step advice for someone who is a complete bitcoin noob, but wants another option to play some poker in the US?
Logical question. No one is born knowing this stuff. Standby...
- create an account at swcpoker. no ID required. email address required
- play freerolls
- download a free Bitcoin wallet, Electrum or Multibit
- look at localbitcoins.com for a dealer near you. pay cash
- and/or sign up with ID and bank account to buy bitcoins at at circle.com or coinbase.com
- avoid sending Bitcoins directly to/from circle or coinbase, send to your wallet first, they like to avoid "gambling" sites, don't force them
after you do it, you will feel like a genius
minimum stake for jackpot games has been lowered to 5/10 ubtc blinds(previously 10/20).
wow swc still exists? And you can use pt4? I have a lot of bitcoin collecting virtual dust. I might as well put some money on and play some. I used to play on that and betcoin back in the day. I won about 50 btc playing hu on both sits when bitcoin was around 250 a coin. To bad I only kept about half... Other half I lost money on scam cryptos that went to nothing haha. My buddy won about 100 bitcoin back then and used all the money to start a business that went under. We would grind hu all day long and talk about hands afterwards. That was the best days to have another hu end boss to study with daily to get better. Poker was more fun that way. Those days are over now we have solvers... Does moniboy still play on SWC? Everyone thought he was a super user with this weird style he was tough to beat until he started losing and then the wheels would come off.
wow swc still exists?
yes. the site is now at swcpoker.club. reach support by email at [email]support@swcpoker.club[/email]. they also have a telegram channel that is somewhat active.
the lack of growth has many factors of influence, but i think the lack of exposure has done more to perpetuate the sentiment behind "wow swc still exists?" than any failing otherwise. currently the only advertising i know of for swc is on x.com. traffic picks up during tourney series and rake race promos, but in between these events it can get really slow. on the whole traffic is about right where its always been. about 150 online at quiet times, and around 250 when busy.
i think its obvious they need more ad exposure. all the site improvements they could muster wont matter much if they only rely on x.com and word of mouth for exposure.
SwC is going to try working a different non-NLHE tournament into it's nightly schedule and have one each night of the week if successful. Look for something different on the schedule starting this Wednesday!
Be aware of this scam site they take me about 3 or 4 BTC from account when they migrate to other software and other name , before was sealpokerclub now it SWC same ****.
They answer me on mail that they migrate and they cant do nothing with old site, bcs it not exist anymore. Pure SCAM , they withdraw my cashier and nothing happends, didnt log in to cashier long time but where is right to them to empty my cashier and take BTC for them???
Please avoid this scam site.

It's been 9.5 years since Seals With Clubs shut down fwiw.
tourney series starts Friday. there are a few 1 chip(6 cents) satellites tomorrow to series events that krill qualifies you for.
Did anyone make hand history saving work completely? I was playing mixed games, e.g. 12 game tournament. But I can see only Holdem and Omaha hands saved. No Draw/Stud hands saved.
series started with events 1, 2, and 3 yesterday, ~$30, ~$60, and ~$15, respectively.
the first event covered the gtd and was raked. the other 2 events had over $1800 worth of overlay between them.
one more report then ill stop.
yesterday's events were $15 nlh, $120 big o, $60 nlh, $120 nlh, and $30 nlh.
the 15 nlh and big o covered the gtds and were raked. there was $1900 overlay total between the other 3.
What's buy ins calculated in? Satoshis?
1 million chips = 1 btc.
1 chip = 1 ubtc = 0.000001 btc.
the rake was bad for a period, and it seemed swc was only doing the bare minimum to keep the site up. however the site has been steadily improving for what seems like over a year now. i hope the improvements continue, perhaps to the effect that we get new better software in the not so distant future.
it seems swc is trying to put out a good product lately. i hope the current tournament series attracts some new players that stay.
No it hasn’t. The site allowed a low life multi accounter and allows managers to play and gain extra benefits.. . The low is multi accounter is gone for now, but still don’t write things that are not true. Site is a cesspit.
don't be vague, miley. if you know something put it here to warn people. I play there a fair amount. if there's something shady going on I would like to know. please and thanks.
what did i say that is untrue?
i don't know how swc handles cheating. swc never comments on security issues. i know ive reported suspicious play, and those players are nowhere to be found for a while now.
i don't know the specifics of the recent multiaccount investigation. all i have is hearsay on that topic.
edit to add:
i placed 3rd in one of the satellites mentioned above and i won a 500 chip ticket. some of the satellites did have problems issuing tickets but as far as i know that was resolved.
i realized that stu was asking about system credits following the banning of cheaters.
ive never heard of any such credits. however i did receive a credit when i got buttoned by a gamestarter for a decent sum of chips. that was a long time ago, and its the only info i have thats close to answering what stu was asking.
The site seems to be incredibly cheap. They don't do anything for their regulars who paid tons of rake. They had a 500+ krill freeroll The other day and they only gave 15 minutes to register and only five minutes of late registration. All that was at stake was two 500 chip tickets and they still got about 60 entries in that short time. Why isn't the registration time the same as every other tournament for like hours before it and hours of late registration? Why don't they do any type of tournaments for people with like 10k krill?
I also don't understand why it has to take so long to withdraw from a bitcoin site. Sometimes withdrawls take 24 hours to be approved. I'm not talking about the speed of the bitcoin network I'm talking about approving the withdrawal to start the transaction.
yes, kudos to them.
I love this room, it could have become one of my absolute favorites. no documents, fast withdrawal. simple but effective graphics. a variety of games never seen in any other room.
but after 2 years of playing it, the average number of players online is still around 140. there has been no increase in these 2 years.
it seems that there is no interest in making the room known, in increasing the number of players. what a shame!
