Is it still 3x rakeback for six seaters? Saw it in promotions now seems to be gone . Heard Micon in lobby about making the 5k guar a 3k since its not a 100 dollar buyin time to make this a reality.

I don't understand the issue. Why don't you convert your alt to btc and deposit? Not me... aorn, I deal in strictly BTC. But others don't. One Litecoin-only poker site came and went last April. [timing, obv.] The next Altcoin poker site might be around for the long haul. Imagine Ultimate wanting to expand horizons beyond Nevada and Joisey. Or Stars or Tilt or both going rogue.
And then there is oh noes btc is expensive so instead of buying $20 of btc you buy $20 of altcoin. How is that better?
Depends on current volatility/liquidity issues for each type of coin, each site. Look... currently, 0.01 Seals chip = 1000 Satoshis. We might need that wiggle room if and when BTC's hit $10k. No wigglez? Altcoins will fill the void.

Quote from: lluboski on November 26, 2013, 03:40:42 AM Mikon Can you guys consider daily 10 chips 300 guar around 10 pm?I asked about it a few pages back but nobody answer.Are you afraid of overlays? Any plans to reclassify ring games?(micro,low,medium,high)Almost everything is micro.
MTT schedule needs a tweakin' this is a solid suggestion IMO.
Are you waiting until Bitcoin will be 5000?

Seals down for me, crashed while in game, mid hand hopefully my chips are safe Seals has an awesome reputation for righting stuff. Not sure about any chips you commited to the pot by mid-hand. Always save your Hand Histories, kids.[There's an option on Seals' main screen menus.] Good call. I agree. Also - Thanks for the 2 chips. It's a nice, small token, that does not go unnoticed. However - goddamnboobs went on for TOO long I actually had to #ancel DDR

1) MTT schedule gets a makeover Q1 2014. We tweak until then. 2) ty for noticing our exemplary record with righting wrongs that our system causes. This is our ethos and will continue. 3) definitely save your HH's 4) Saturday 5k goes to 3k starting stack as promised 5) Saturday 5k should be a big MTT today / don't get shut out obv 6) ST6 going HAM on new platform. Q1 2014 target still valid. It is going to be nasty. You are all going to have it all over your faces and loving every drop of it.

yeah man, that was ridiculous. It was my first time playing on the service, and things started great. I won a few hands right out of the gate, and amassed a fat stack of chips that would've held me out until the final three. Unfortunately, I was timed out during a couple larger bets, unable to get back into the site for a few minutes, and then returned to see that my stack had significantly dwindled. Sigh. I emailed support requesting a refund for the tournament I played in or a voucher of equal or greater value. I really want to give the site a fair shot, but if they can't in good faith reimburse me for the half-assed experience I was subject to tonight, I can't support them. Hope things get sorted out, because I was really enjoying the platform when it worked! Would love to be able to wipe the slate clean and give it another first time go. Let me edit to addI contacted their support department expressing my frustrations, and received an immediate reply indicating they would be taking a look at all the hands played during this time period and reimbursing folks accordingly. Received the reply in less than 15 minutes. Very pleased with that interaction and looking forward to what they've got coming down the road. Apparently the connection issues are the result of migrating the service over to a new, more robust data center. So things should be in better working condition once that is completed...

so they told you the were moving to a more robust data center? they have done this many times already. when i tried to login i was getting version 2.16 which i deleted months ago. it mentions that they moved data centers on 8/30 for improved connectivity and that they moved again on 9/3. they also mention that major server-side improvements continue. so why am i getting version 2.16? why can't they deliver the most necessary of functions which is connectivity? is seals going to blame it on someone else yet again?

Seals, home of low rake poker. Except that the rake cap is $5 for the 1/2 game and higher. Even the 0.50/1.00 is a $3 cap which is much higher than it used to be. Yes it's taken at 2.5% but the cap makes it bad. Especially for PLO where most pots are multi way with action post flop.

Throw in the pitfall of collusion and there's a second hidden rake on PLO. The problem with collusion in PLO is it can take some time to recognize it, because the kind of action that occurs with collusion at least superficially resembles good aggressive play. I just don't have time to watch a table for an hour before sitting down and unlike NLHE, collusion at PLO is basically unbeatable if the players are any good. Yes, cheats usually actually suck at poker and lose even cheating, but combine skill and cheating and you can't win against it. I'm not even saying there's obvious cheating going on now, because they did chase off the really blatant cheats, but I just can't be sure. I really need to level up my skills at HU. Unfortunately, the players who specialize in heads up on Seals are often frighteningly good.

Speaking of this, if I have a major complaint with Seals it is that the players there are too good.
I bet if we had a series of tournaments we could kick the shit out of the clowns at 2+2. Just food for thought.
