This tourney schedule is a very nice gesture from swc. The assortment of krill requirements is smart.

Aw fuck its more than a gesture. I see it as acknowledgement of the fact that there will never be a perfect poker site;  its better to be the best if you cant be perfect.

nice setup.  looking forward to it. 

The idea that receiving money or compensation of any kind from a company for a service provided(hi glitch) should enable a person(inherently flawed) to handle every situation presented with grace no matter what, is not an idea that is founded in human reality. 

People should never get into car accidents if they all drive correctly, thus the insurance system is unnecessary.  See? I can make up false realities as well. 

The basic theme here is that if you shit on people, they typically will not react kindly no matter the monetary compensation they receive for services.  Whether or not glitch was justified in his actions in this particular instance is not of concern as the guy has been dealing with an uncensored chatbox full of gamblers for years.  If his reaction to the above situation makes you unhappy with the service he provides,  maybe you could be much more cordial in your approach to him on a daily basis(not just when you want something). 

sweet. 

I've been trying to spread rumors of the leaderboard promo and what it might include.  More hints please.

When someone busts on cash tables, misses a hand, and then rebuys, the order of button and blinds gets mixed up.

Wow.  Thank you.  gl 2bits. 

Good morning,

I'm not sure who the most deserving seal is for the 10k ticket giveaway.  2bits is a great guy and he has helped many seals along the way, myself included.  Joan is one of the nicest people that I've ever come across and she has also helped many seals along the way, myself included.  There are others that also qualify for such a prize, but those two stand out in my mind as the most dedicated and deserving seals around. <3

Me?  I'm PaulC and I used to be a decent poker player, or so I thought.  I first came to seals in 2015 because I was poor and the word around the internet was that there were good freerolls.  I was not disappointed.  Within six months after joining seals,  I possessed 6.3 bitcoins, which was worth about $2000.  I cashed out a bit, pun intended, which helped with the cashflow problem, and I put it to good use in my everyday life.  I tried to keep the winning streak going, but the tables turned and I slowly lost the rest.  I look back at that time with some mild regrets due to bitcoin prices skyrocketing, but I really needed the money.  

Fast forward to present time and I'm looking back at many ups and downs, both in real life and on the felt.  I've studied poker at an almost obsessive level for the past decade and I think my poker record in isolation is pretty decent.  However, desperation has led me down a dark path.  I borrow often and I currently carry a little debt, both from supportive seals such as 2bits and Joan, and also from some other generous friends that have helped me through hard times.  I'm very appreciative and thankful even though it's hard for me to verbalize such appreciation.  

Desperation is hard on the mind.  It tricks one into thinking that there's no other choice.  When desperation is coupled with legit mental issues, bad things tend to happen both in real life and on the felt.  The past few years have taught me that this is very true.  It may be a joke to some; it may be sad to others.  For the one living with a serious mental issue coupled with desperation, it's not funny at all, but I'm not looking for pity.  I'm just hoping this message comes across as a warning to those that find themselves in desperate situations.  In real life and in certain corners of the internet,  I'm currently on a crusade of the mind.  Many people suffer in silence because they are afraid of rejection, discrimination, and confrontation.  It doesn't have to be this way.  You can live your life and be honest with yourself and others.  You can be happy.  

My current situation isn't pretty and I can only blame myself.  I've tried many jobs over the past decade, but I don't handle stress well.  Stress causes my anger, anxiety, and depression to get out of control after just a few hours working.  Basically, I do anything and everything that comes my way to make money.  It's not enough to survive without help, which I get a lot of.  However, I recently landed a job.  I just need to get some clients.  I've been approved by a major dog service company and I'm looking forward to making some new friends, and a little money.  I recently completed the application process for independent housing and I was seventh on the list as of October 20118.  I'm looking forward to a fresh start.  I have not tried to live on my own since 2008.  I'm ready now.  My mental issues are under control and I have not spent a night in a hospital in over four years.  The love of a great woman has helped a lot.  Sure, we've had ups and downs like any couple, but we stick by each other through the tough times and the good.  I know for a fact that she has my back and that I have hers.  

Like I said, I don't know who the most deserving seal is for this 10k ticket giveaway.  However, I probably need it as much as the next guy.  I trust seals to make the right decision, which in the end probably means letting Joan or 2bits play the Big Btc tourney for free.  If seals picks me?  It could make a big difference in my life.  

thanks for reading, gl today, peace,
PaulC

Hi seals, 

Yesterday in the chatbox we were discussing potential additions to the tourney schedule for the 530pm and 730pm est slots.  Someone mentioned that adding tourneys to these slots might kill the 2k chip Daily Deep.  Would that happen?  I don't know, but I think that offering tourneys at these times, which are prime timeslots for me,  would be better than offering nothing at all. 

I like rebuy tourneys, which I believe swc is able to support at this time, yet none are offered. 

I like bounty tourneys, which I believe swc is able to support at this time, yet none are offered. 

Also, I would like to be able to straddle on the limit holdem tables.  This isn't an option at the moment. 

thanks

You can withdraw 2-20 chips at sealsclubhouse.com. 

Yes tourney. 

This is a very slippery slope. 


This is exactly the problem.  In fact, by announcing that he will not raise,  he is sacrificing his own ev to the benefit of all other players still holding cards. 

There was some drama last night that I wish to address since swcpoker is such a small and tight community:

There's this guy that complains anytime an underdog wins a hand. If the favorite wins the hand, then he expresses his utter surprise. Last night he went off talking **** in the chatbox about what a huge luckbox donk I am after I won a hand with an underdog. I just let him go on and on, but then this happened:

I'm in the big blind with some trash hand and the **** talker was in the small blind. We all get our cards and he says, "someone bet im not betting him." which is just blatant cheating. Sure enough, someone raised and everyone folded. So I went off a bit in the lobby chatbox and sent an email to support.

Will report back with any news.

Agreed.  The ambiguity of the released statements by the representative is silly at best and is downright willfully ignorant imo.  It's almost as if they didn't release any statement at all. 

So I gave em a second chance.  The verification process wasn't smooth but I received btc yesterday. 

They credited my card with the payback today.  I feel better now. 

It's been four days since they charged my card.  I requested that they cancel the charge, but now it's been over 48 hours since I've received response from support.  I give this exchange two thumbs down. 

So they brought back the 20k krill freeroll, but still no 5k krill freeroll?  Bummer. 

I think the krillrolls should be 6max.  Would make for a much more fun 5 mins of my life on average. :p
