EVENT #73 IS NOW RUNNING
1 HR 45 MINS REMAINING TO LATE REGISTER ♣️ Event #73 NLH Championship ♣️
10k chip buyin, 1,000,000 guaranteed This tournament has 1 Re-Entry available.
Players that bust out may re-enter the tournament 1 time at any point before the end of late registration. Fair enough, but could you point out which tourn was the replacement? The Saturday Special started 2 hrs before the 3k turbo rebuy's usual time (and it's not a rebuy) and the Nightly Rebuy started 5 hours later. If you're going to replace a regular weekday tournament, I'm all for playing at a higher stake and potentially deeper field on the weekend, but at least have it at around the same time and game type!  You could just double the buyin to 200 and keep it in the same spot. Thank you for the feedback. It will be considered as the team crafts the schedule going forward. If you have a favorite tournament that you'd like to see continue or an idea for a new tournament please feel free to share. Not everything will be possible but it will be taken in to consideration. |

BITCOIN POKER SUNDAY TODAY'S QUARANTINE SERIES EVENTS Satellites to all events available in the lobby! Can I also ask, is there any reason why the turbo rebuy 3k GTD doesn't take place on the weekend?
Some daily tournaments may be removed if there is a special weekly tournament that takes it's place. |

EVENT #68 NLH PKO STARTS IN 30 MINUTES
Half of each buyin goes to the bounty pool and the other half goes to the prize pool.
Each time you eliminate a player, 50% of their bounty is awarded directly to your cashier and the remainder is added to the bounty on your head.
The player that wins the tournament also keeps all of their own bounty.
^ Too small at 1/2 - 2/4 imo (that's like nano stakes converted to USD). But SWC could at least start them at 10/20 (which I have been suggesting) to get some more action going on there and build their poker economy off of that.
Yeah SwC_Poker, now that it's even rarer to hit the BBJ, is there any chance it can be added to 10/20 and even 5/10? You could always pay just 20% of the actual jackpot for winners in these rooms since the stakes are lower- proportionally it would still be a jackpot. This is an idea that has been discussed and may be possible in the future. |

EVENT 62 STARTS IN 45 MINUTES! ♣️ Event #62 PLO Rebuy ♣️
1k chip buyin, 200,000 guaranteed Just here to gather some support to bring the 25ks back in the Quarantine Series, I know there were quite a few people who enjoyed it. Maybe run a 1k or a 500 alongside the 25ks, I don't think they would cannibalize each other too much.
A 25k HU championship would be especially great!
Thank you. I like the requirement change, that jackpot hit way too often.
Thank you for feedback and suggestions. This week's schedule was focused on lower buyin events with larger fields. There is demand for higher stakes games and that will be taken into consideration when planning future events. |

8 Seat GTD Main Event Super Satellite I've been doing some more digging on the idea of increasing the bad beat jackpot minimum qualifying hand requirement (currently AAATT). Here are SwC Poker's most recent BBJ hits: - April 7th, 2020 -- Royal Flush vs AAAKK
- April 1st, 2020 -- KKKK vs 9999
- April 1st, 2020 -- KKKK vs AAAKK
- March 30th, 2020 -- KK vs QQ on AAAQT board
- March 25th, 2020 -- AQ v AJ on AAQJK board
- March 14th, 2020 -- AA vs KK on KKA75 board
- January 14th, 2020 -- JJ vs TT on AAA84 board
- January 11th, 2020 -- KK vs QQ on AAA85 board
Just for reference, here are the most recent BBJ hits at a competing online poker room with much larger playerpool (that shall remain nameless) that uses 2222 as the minimum qualifying hand. - April 12th, 2020
- April 3rd, 2020
- April 2nd, 2020
- March 27th, 2020
- March 23rd, 2020
- March 22nd, 2020
- March 5th, 2020
- February 24th, 2020
- February 24th, 2020
Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the BBJ after reading this. Thank you for compiling this data. The next difficulty increase will be gradual, and as the number of players continues to grow we will monitor and evaluate the right time for further increases. The current qualifier of Aces Full of Tens beaten is in place until the next time the jackpot is hit. Full info will then be posted with details about the new requirements going forward. |

My 2nd question still stands. How do you create a tournament? I explored the entire site but could not find anything there.
The SwC Team sets the regular tournament schedule, but SwC will also host community events if they are run with a high standard. Submit requests to our support email. |

ANNOUNCING WEEK 4 OF THE QUARANTINE SERIES! APRIL 13th - APRIL 19th 
New this week is the addition of an optional single re-entry to select events. Players that are eliminated during the late registration period will have the option to re-enter the tournament at any time up until the close of late registration. The player's second entry will be labeled in the tournament lobby with a "#2" following their username.
The popular "Doubles" Event returns as #65A and #65B. Win a bonus prize of 10k chips for finishing in the money in both tournaments, a 50k chip bonus for winning both; and the player with the best combined finish will win a 10k chip bonus.
The winner of each series event will again receive an exclusive seat in the 50k Tournament of Champions on Monday, April 20th.
DOUBLE KRILL for all play during the week continues!
Don't let the lockdown get you down. Join us on the virtual felt for the Quarantine Series at SwC Poker!  All tournaments are up in the lobby and qualifiers are running now! Stay home, play bitcoin poker. The qualifying hand requirement will be adjusted following the next jackpot win. Full details will be posted.
Isn't this something where you could do some kind of community voting? Especially because there is allways a lack of democracy in the most other poker platforms. We welcome all feedback. Please continue to share your ideas and suggestions. |

BITCOIN POKER SUNDAY TODAY'S QUARANTINE SERIES EVENTS Satellites to all events available in the lobby! Can you call it a "jackpot" if it gets hit every three days? I've said it before and I'll say it again now, I think 2222 should be the minimum qualifying hand at the very least. That aside, the site looks great! Been logging in every day during this quarantine.  Thank you!  The qualifying hand requirement will be adjusted following the next jackpot win. Full details will be posted. |
