Rather than just having more freerolls for active play, consider doing something like FTP's Iron Man was. That was excellent at getting action onto the tables on an everyday basis.

Still some lag, but not as bad as when the site first came back.
Now it's randomly sitting me out between hands sometimes, though.

More troubleshooting on the "no sound" problem.
I have two XP PCs. One has SwC sound and one does not have SwC sound. Other sounds work fine.
I used Windows Explorer (aka File Manager) to look at the installed files (C:\Program Files\swcpoker). The PC with SwC sound has a C:\Program Files\swcpoker\Sounds folder with WAV files in it. The PC with no SwC sound does not have a Sounds folder, and does not have the files. Uninstalled and installed. Still no folder and no WAV files.
Hmm, that's weird. I wonder if it would work if you copied the "Sounds" folder and added it to the PC that's missing it. That is exactly what I did, and the sound worked immediately. C:\Program Files\swcpoker\sounds (it may be in a different location on other computers) sounds folder containing WAV files for call check dealcard login muck pullchips raise timeout toact winchips sound files are 705kbps 16-bit 1 channel (mono) 44 kHz PCM so for those who do not have sound while playing on SwCPoker, check to see if you have the sounds folder with those files in it. This worked for me, too. Thankfully I hadn't updated on my tablet. And I uploaded the files so anyone else can grab them if they want: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9YmNd5VQEj4STljTkdDWGRIb0U/view?usp=sharingI didn't do anything to assuage the security-conscious folk, so you may want to stay away from that link if you're paranoid. It's just a zip with the SwC WAVs though. |

I believe table starter RB overrides the krill rakeback. So if you are earning table starter RB you are already getting 50% back and don't think any additional krill RB. So theoretically if you played only at 2 - 3 handed tables, you could earn table starter RB but no krill RB.
^this Tablestarter is basically max-krillback possible. The above is correct, and because we are just getting started many games are short and qualify for tablestarter. If one only took the 7th, 8th, or 9th seat in a game, i.e. only wanting to play full ring, they wouldn't see any tablestarter and that krillback would prop up. Basically you can almost never pay full rake at SwC, and "full rake" is already very low. This should really be in the T&Cs for both table starter and krillback on the website. |

Please look at the button movement on hands #763654, #763672, and #763700. A player got dealt out or disconnected or something and two other players ended up paying the same blinds twice in a row.
I'm having worse lag problems now than I was before the downtime, and still no sound.
I continue to be confused at how my Krill rakeback can be less than 1% of my table starter.

With the last update I lost sound. Win 7. I've tried turning sound off and on in the menu, with the button on the table, and restarting the client.

This is the world's tiniest bug and it's probably silly to complain about it at this point, but when you have save username and password checked the focus of the login box ought to default to the GAuth field rather than username.

It seems like it would be silly to spend a bunch of money getting the .com in whatever fashion and then just have Kentucky seize it, which isn't terribly unlikely. Many other sites operate just fine without .com I don't see why you can't.
If you really feel the need for one, though, it's a perfect time to change to a brand that most people don't think is really dumb on first impression. Seals with Clubs was a pretty significant obstacle for a lot of people, and SwC isn't a lot better.

I also cannot log in. Is this a google authenticator issue? (I use it, maybe all the people who are logged in do not use it)
No, I use GAuth and am in. |

2) OFC/p tournaments are really fun IMO. They haven't been spread much, this is one of the most innovative features of SwC IMO. A heads-up shootout version is a neat idea, and will be tried. When we did a 3-handed shootout, the time waiting for other tables to finish was annoying. It wouldn't be quite as bad for heads-up, but it won't feel right. I'll show you.
We did a bunch of these on Grid. They're approximately as annoying as a NLHE HU shootout. There's some dead time but HU OFC hands are way faster than 3-handed and that helps a lot. 2a) The 3-handed OFC settlement rules will be better explained. The 1-chip thought experiment is fair because the button is random. A hypothesis regarding OFC MTTs could be that button draw for a new table becomes more important as you lower player chipstacks. This way of settling OFC makes for the ability to play tables stakes OFC & bust players in tournaments. It is fair in that all have to play under the same rules. I think over time, players will come to understand how OFC is settled and start to disect the myriad of player-facing considerations deep in OFCaments or low on chips at the cash tables.
OK, at least one of us has already played dozens of these and done a lot of this dissection but by all means don't listen. Yes, OFC needs table stakes rules, and there isn't a very good solution, but that isn't reason not to try to mitigate how often it comes up. |

I'm going to say what I said over and over at Grid: OFC tournaments should be headsup shootouts only. The table stakes rules are just too damn confusing otherwise, and there are some real issues with them and players potentially not getting any action at all on their hand in bubble situations.
As a thought experiment consider a final table, three players, all of whom have one point. The player on the button is basically guaranteed at least second place, because the first two will play their point against each other and his will never get action.

Heh, I rematched an OFC HUSnG and it changed the fantasyland rules, T1327 was QQ and T1330 is KK. Funny bug.

What do you think are the biggest issues with SwC Poker right now?
For me, headsup Pineapple tables, populate HUSnGs in all games, and making the filter work properly. (All games in tournaments, filter the Active tab.) Also whatever it is that makes empty tables continue to show they have players. |

FYI--
If you are unable to request a reset through the client due to error message "User Id must be between 3 and 12 in length and consist only of alphanumeric symbols (A-z, 0-9), hyphen (-), and underscore (-)."...if your username is in fact valid, then it is probably happening because your account name contains a "z". It looks to me like a bug in the client code where somebody probably used a "less than" instead of a "less than or equal to" when considering the alpha range A-Z. You can tell because if you enter a bunch of random letters in for the username and try to request a reset, it will say "User does not exist", but if your random letters includes a "z" then instead you get the error message above. I emailed support - they responded promptly and said they are escalating the issue to technical team and will get back to me.
FWIW mine worked fine. Maybe Z is ok and z isn't though. |

Let me know if there is a limit / game combo you want if it's not there. we'll eventually bring back the launcher but bigger fish to fry ATM.
Headsup OFC/p tables please. I assume you're aware that OFC tables are not generating krill. |

36 games active tonight, which is awesome, but reinforces the need to be able to filter the active tab.
ETA: also, it's impossible to filter the SnGs at all and still include games like OFC and draw and mixed games.

There are so many new games to learn, I love it but I don't know which one to learn first.
What new game do you guys think will have the most action & be the most popular? Razz, 7-2, Chinese, 5 card draw etc..?
In general OFC/p is the most popular alternate game right now. I would guess 2-7, Razz, and Badeucey will be the next three. Micon, could you guys add HU pineapple tables, please? 3-handed gives me a headache. (And pineapple HU shootouts when you get around to tournaments. They were the most popular thing that ran on Grid.) |

do you play poker because of the design or because of the interest?
I play poker because I like money. But as long as there are other sites where I can play games I enjoy, I'm not going to play holdem on a site that has slightly less functionality than I would have expected of a BBS door in 1992. I was Grid's best customer. I'm excited about having that software with actual traffic. |

Can't wait for this. No more Mavens bullshit I actually might play poker again.
What was the problem with Mavens ? The interface is awful and it only has flop games? |

I had an account on the old site that had chips in it when you closed. Are you going to honor it? Same username as this one.
