A lot of hands are "like" other hands and if you are playing even a few tables you'll notice a lot of cases of matching and partial matching, it is to be expected. But if you get exactly 4c6d (in order) even 4 times out of 4, that's pretty far out there.

1 in (52x51)^4 ~= 1 in 4.946455187×10¹³

But given enough chances it will happen.

Note that's the odds of getting a hand picked in advance 4 times in a row. Getting any hand 4 times in a row is  a more reasonable 1 in 18,651,791,808.

There was an instance in New Zealand where 4 players were dealt a royal flush each.
The deck was shuffled and they played the next hand, again 4 royal flushes.

Rare as hell to occur, I'll see if I can find the link.

I have to believe that the universe would implode if that happened.

Please get the link, this seems like bullshit like me.

Seals chips will always trade 1000 to 1 with bitcoins.

Be careful with strong words like "always". What will you do if 1 chip is worth $1000? 

Not "if", but "when". I assume they will have micro, eh nano chips :-D

They'll add more decimals to the system just like they already did...

problem solved... seems like a silly comment from someone with a milibit symbol in their avatar...

There has to be some messed up algorithm with your programming or something. I keep getting like the same exact hands on different tables each deal, and this happens multiple times in a session.

This seems to happen a lot when multitabling on any poker site.  It's just observational bias in my opinion. 

But just a quick clarification.  Are these same suits, same cards?  And displayed in the same order?  If this is happening with the windows or android clients and you see the same suits, same card values and same order across tables, then this might be something to notify the devs about in case there is a beta bug in displaying the hole cards across tables.

Also you should check your software to see if someone hasn't hacked into it and is able to see other players cards. It's happened for other poker sites, ones that deal with actual money instead of BTC.

The only way this would really be possible is through an virus or app on your machine that decodes your hole cards and sends them off to a third party.

If 1 btc = $10,000 we will still be able to spread low stakes games.  Pokerstars plays in pennies, we could play in satoshis

What is the largest pot you've seen thus far on Seals?


Also nice activity! 400+ people on right now

[Wardrick]

Is there something wrong with the clients? I've just lagged out on 3-4 big pots where I had a good hand. One of them got checked through and I won, the other two I lost because I couldn't call or bet. Sucks, hopefully it's just a one time thing, because when it times out I went to other sites and they were loading perfectly.

tiny bit of lag on my client end as well

On that note, I'm not sure why the pot size matters. It doesn't tell much. As an example:

4 players go in to a pot for 100BTC each. Pot size 400BTC. Winner effectively gets 300BTC (400-100).
2 players go in to a pot for 200BTC each. Pot size 400BTC. Winner effectively gets 200BTC (400-200).

I think a better question they should have asked is "what is the largest net win on one hand?"

that's pretty hot right now  

I think I remember Fitzroy calling me about 1 of those pots...  If I recall it's when he was taking his BR from the 1 coin ($10 at the time) xfer I gave to him to like 2,000+ coins in a few weeks.  lol

More info on this in a day or so, but this Saturday during our very popular 10 bitcoin guaranteed .1 buy in, (95+5) we are going to give away an avatar for the winner. 

Details still being sorted, but if you've been playing SwC and really wanted that weed avatar... this weekend is your shot!

[hi]

any chance you will add LTC support.  Deposit with LTC and it is exchanged for BTC?? 

We need more gambling sites to take LTC :p

Very nice.

Wow, this looks very nice!

[Micon]

Wow, this looks very nice!

Well then allow me to tease a bit...

-- Server side improvements continue
-- Testing new modules continue
-- Linux & Mac Clients soon-ish
-- New games and features after "the hard stuff" is done.  Best guess, and it's only a guess when it comes from me, is 6 months.   I want OFC badly.  I mean really bad.  But I also want Stud / Badugi / Badeucey / 2-7 single & 3x draw / mix games / full tourney schedule / etc.

I have the blood lust for online poker action.  SwC will continue to be molded into the super-site our players ask us to make.  We are making it.  It will take a while, but it will be awesome.

Saturday's 10,000 guarantee will also have an AVATAR FTW

that's right, win the donkfest tomorrow, get one of those sweet avatars you see floating around!  Hard to get 'em!

[Micon]

ST6 just called on the red phone, said there was a scheduled server restart for ~35 minutes from now.

Server side improvement implimentation & testing.

more awesome being cooked up...


[edit]  It went smoothly.  Game back on
