I don't really even singletable. I kind of suck at poker and have found it's relatively +EV not to play, unless I know for a fact that my opponents are worse than me... I don't mind testing it on the VM, but as far as I can tell it is just Android running on a virtual machine, and so will behave identically to on a real android device. Except I couldn't get 'Draw Something' to run for some reason, so maybe not...
Just looking for multitablers with big screens to test the new stuff. If you aren't a multitabler, then no worries.

Does SwC keep hand histories? In the future, will you guys analyze that data to find colluders or cheaters? Would you let a third party do analysis if you guys aren't currently doing it.

Yes they do. And anytime I've seen anyone try shenanigans Freemoney responds swiftly and well. 1) we take security very seriously. Anyone that has ever accused any other player or players of unfair play can attest that we have investigated it. 2) I and the rest of ST6 have a shit ton of experience. I personally had my first online poker account at Paradise poker in 1999. In short, we are always trying to find and eliminate cheaters on Seals. our policy is very clearly stated in the FAQ: "We reserve the right to handle cheating, collusion, or otherwise unfair play at our sole discretion" which means that when you play on Seals, you are trusting us to handle any future situation fairly, openly, and honestly. I think our reputation over the last 1.6 yrs speaks for itself. 3) if you ever think someone is cheating, colluding, or otherwise corrupting the games or the system of SealsWithClubs, please report it immediately across all our communications channels: admin at Sealswithclubs dot eu, this thread, twitter, facebook, Reddit &/or SwC lobby chat. We are 100% committed to spreading fair, low-rake games with lightning fast cashouts.

Here is the poker game of the minute that needs bitcoin love. Open face chinese poker! Already mentioned in the Android development site. I am the guy helping with the graphics. And to put my 2 LTC in, I too think it's time to go public with Seals. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Not to crash SoC's party, but what are alternatives with reasonable amount of players?
The first bitcoin poker site went down after getting hacked: http://betco.in/PMPoker had regular freerolls for a while and attracted around 10 regular players, but I don't think anyone plays there any more. The Windows-only Delphi client kept crashing every time I tried it, too: http://pmpoker.com/Strike Sapphire Casino used to have popular freerolls and the occasional real-money ring game, but when they cracked down on groups of players who knew each other playing the games kind of died out: http://strikesapphire.com/Infiniti Poker has been threatening to launch for a while now, but seems to be in closed beta: http://www.infinitipoker.com/All-in-all, Seals is where it's at for Bitcoin poker: https://sealswithclubs.euWhat about BTC on Tilt? https://www.btcontilt.com/This one is weird. Site is up and down. Very decent stand alone software. When/if it is up it's a waste land. A couple other Sealers (Clubers?) and others. Any ideas? I read somewhere he (owner) put a good chunk of change in the software and that was it.

And to put my 2 LTC in, I too think it's time to go public with Seals. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) 1) I heart OFC so much. Bought some domains a few months ago after it took off WSOP 2012. I really, really want to make an OFC for btc game. 2) Going "public" with Seals is an odd way to say it - we are totally open to the public now - but I feel what you mean - you want us to buy ads in Cardplayer / Bluff / Pnews / etc and make a big noise in the poker world. Remember this is a major cost - something we are looking into, something we are likely to fire on soon, but something that is not to be taken lightly. Cliffs: We're on it. 3) FFFF (500 chip or .5 btc freeroll with ~ 20ish players lucky enough to scoop 1 of these codes:) snapping off in 10 min.

1) So do it. See point 2 for cash. 2) Not totally what I meant but what I meant helps what you are talking about. List the site on MPEx. Generate the revenue to facilitate a some more media. I can't see what you have to to lose at this point. No one is saying over sell of course. I think you would get a lot more backers than you think. None of my business but a thought.

I don't really even singletable. I kind of suck at poker and have found it's relatively +EV not to play, unless I know for a fact that my opponents are worse than me... I don't mind testing it on the VM, but as far as I can tell it is just Android running on a virtual machine, and so will behave identically to on a real android device. Except I couldn't get 'Draw Something' to run for some reason, so maybe not...
Just looking for multitablers with big screens to test the new stuff. If you aren't a multitabler, then no worries. Whenever I win some chips from these freerolls I'll help. I have a 37" monitor and love multitabling.

Me? I'm just the cynical voice floating in the sea of unchecked optimism.

Sorry, I've been looking for an hour... can't find the way to adjust this link https://sealswithclubs.eu/aff.php?aff=125to take someone to the promotions page, but still be a referral link. I've been looking on forums, sealswithclubs.eu and googling it with no avail. Even tried my own adjustments but get "page not found" Mind posting those instructions or a link to where I can't find it? Thanks lots!

Will need to get this confirmed by Freemo but it appears you can only link to the home page and get affiliate credit at this point. Will get technical details on this.

I recall (perhaps incorrectly) FreeMoney posting instructions either here or on the website with how to adjust the link so that it goes to another page (promotions for example) but still gives referral credit. No worries if it's not available. Just trying to link everything I can ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I really think it you need a nice standalone downloadable client, or a vastly improved in-browser experience before it's worth spending significant money on advertising to regular poker players. The flash Poker Mavens interface feels clunky and unprofessional, and probably puts a lot of people off the site. The existence of an Android app proves that it's possible to make a client independent of the Mavens interface. I realise it's a big job to make a nice poker client, but I also think it's crucial to do so.

First the Poker Mavens software is like a proof of work for good flash programming. It works about as good as it possibly could using that bloated platform. I find the software runs smoothly and is easy to use. Secondly, I have rather enjoyed the backroom honest feel of playing poker against people who are regulars and you get to know their game. There is a wide variety of skill levels at seals. There are folks who can play the game well, but there are enough bad players to make it a profitable place for a semi-skilled player to park his ass. In some ways a nice standalone client seems like it would draw the hud using 100nl reg types who just turn the game into a mechanical exercise.

In some ways a nice standalone client seems like it would draw the hud using 100nl reg types who just turn the game into a mechanical exercise.The part in bold, that's what I was thinking today. Part of what I like about playing at seals is the fact their's no HUD/Tracker. Then again how long before someone makes one for the existing client? If it hasn't already been done. Hope not though. Also, little more feedback: Had a nice session with the Android client again today and everything about it is awesome. Can't fault it apart from ONE little thing: When you raise a bet, it opens the native Android keyboard as well as the interface to specify how much you want to raise. Quite a few times this has lead to me typing in the wrong number (very wrong numbers at times, eg 25 instead of 5). Not fun placing the cursor in the correct place, press backspace, type bet, click done, click bet. That's the current bet process quite often. What I suggest: When you click raise, don't have it opening the native keyboard. Keep the specify raise window exactly how it is but without the keyboard (keep the buttons eg. [1/2][3/4][pot], and the slider) and add plus (+) and minus (-) buttons so you can also increase the bets in controlled increments. So in the 1/2 blinds the +/- would increase 1 chip, and in the bigger stakes rooms it could be more. Basically the slider would look like this(ish): [-]||---O------|| Then if someone really wants to type a bet manually, have it open the native keyboard when you tap the number of chips. This would reduce mistakes (causing frustration), and speed up the game pace a little. Coming to think about it I don't know if there already is a +/- on the slider or not? But I don't want to log back on to check right now or I'll be tempted to play all night.
