Dear Diary,

Today, the thing is broken.  

I don't know if SwC Poker is up or down, or how often it goes up or down, because SwC Poker does not report out on their outages.

Bored while you wait?

Check out this new status page for swcpoker, managed by me: https://swcpoker.info

Suck me off.

The jackpot just crossed 750k with 7 BBJ tables running right now.  Not bad.

Power tripping again, hm?

"Nice" new update you got there. So, people are requesting new FEATURES for months and you do an update where only graphics change?

You will find that graphics are not the reason no one is playing on your site.

Well done.

What happened to Lightning payments? New games? Fixing the stupid filters?

SOFTWARE UPDATE!

New versions of the Windows, Mac, and Android clients have been released and will update automatically when opened. Within the next couple of days there will also be a brief downtime for maintenance to update the server.

These updates introduce a number of UI and gameplay improvements, features, bug fixes, and the ability to spread new games.

A short list of some of the software improvements available now:

♣️ A "Lock Orientation" checkbox on Android tables to prevent the screen from rotating
♣️ Larger hole cards at Android vertical tables for improved visibility and selection of discards
♣️ Filters added for all games and table sizes on Windows and Mac clients with the ability to select multiple options
♣️ Improved hand replayer on Windows and Mac clients with 'Previous' and ''Next Step' buttons added for quicker navigation
♣️ Bounty amounts shown for each player on the table in PKO tournaments
♣️ A new dark theme for Windows and Mac clients
♣️ Improved table graphics, buttons and text

And for the first time:

The March BIG BTC Will Have 1 Re-Entry Available!

A full detailed list of all changes will be posted here and on the website after the server update is complete.

Active development continues. Thank you to all players for making SwC the largest bitcoin poker site. We're excited to deliver these updates and hear your feedback.

[tokeweed]

^  How about a Krill promo for the PLO and short deck tables to encourage more action.  I think the SWC NLHE grinders should play them...  Since everybody else could follow them too.  Lol.

NEW GAMES!

With the server update complete SwC now introduces two new game formats available in the lobby as scheduled tournaments, sit and go tournaments, and cash games.

♣️♣️♣️ PINEAPPLE HOLD'EM ♣️♣️♣️

Pineapple Holdem is a variant of Texas Hold'em played with 3 hole cards.
Players select 1 card to discard before the turn, leaving them with 2 cards.
Play continues as a standard 2 card hand of Texas Hold'em for the rest of the hand.

♣️♣️♣️ ANTE ONLY SHORT DECK ♣️♣️♣️

Ante Only Short Deck Hold'em is similar to the previous version of Short Deck on SwC with one difference.
Instead of blinds, a hand begins with all players posting an ante.
The player with the dealer button posts a double ante.
Action always begins with the player to the left of the button.
Preflop each player may fold, call the button ante, or raise.
On later streets the minimum bet size is equal to the button ante.

To kick things off and give players the opportunity to try these new games with some low stakes fun there are special freerolls and low buy in tournaments in the lobby today.

♣️ The Short Deck Showdown ♣️
100 chip buyin, 2500 guaranteed

♣️ The Crazy Pineapple ♣️
100 chip buyin, 2500 guaranteed

It's sad that nobody is playing at SwC anymore just few jackpot tables are running.

Not personally a fan of re-entry in general but I can understand one re-entry in the Big BTC.  It's only once a month and it's the biggest tournament so allowing one second chance seems fair.  And it should help increase the prize pool, so that's good.

Some screenshots of the new look after the update:

Pineapple is fun, haven't played that in years.

The short deck with antes is interesting.  I love how quickly the cards are dealt on those tables.  Regular holdem with antes like that might be fun to try.

Just came across a weird ring game bug. I started a hand with 200 chips against an opponent with 140. I called his all-in and we split the pot so he started the next hand with 140 again yet my stack showed 340. However when I left the table a couple hands later my account was not credited with that extra 140. Here is the hand history:

However when I left the table a couple hands later my account was not credited with that extra 140.

If I had to guess, it appears the auto-rebuy topped me off to the 200 max right before the split pot was awarded. So those 140 chips came out of my account onto my stack (and returned when I left). But that should not have happened.

You are correct. Thank you for the report. The team is working on it.

^  Good change on the Short Deck tables.  The ante only structure is what's really making the game 'feel new' than what big bet poker players are used to.

Maybe that this could creates interest in the community since having giveaways are great  and more people in this forum will try that giveaway.
