I've been doing some more digging on the idea of increasing the bad beat jackpot minimum qualifying hand requirement (currently AAATT).

Here are SwC Poker's most recent BBJ hits:

• April 7th, 2020 -- Royal Flush vs AAAKK
• April 1st, 2020 -- KKKK vs 9999
• April 1st, 2020 -- KKKK vs AAAKK
• March 30th, 2020 -- KK vs QQ on AAAQT board
• March 25th, 2020 -- AQ v AJ on AAQJK board
• March 14th, 2020 -- AA vs KK on KKA75 board
• January 14th, 2020 -- JJ vs TT on AAA84 board
• January 11th, 2020 -- KK vs QQ on AAA85 board

Just for reference, here are the most recent BBJ hits at a competing online poker room with much larger playerpool (that shall remain nameless) that uses 2222 as the minimum qualifying hand.

• April 12th, 2020
• April 3rd, 2020
• April 2nd, 2020
• March 27th, 2020
• March 23rd, 2020
• March 22nd, 2020
• March 5th, 2020
• February 24th, 2020
• February 24th, 2020

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the BBJ after reading this.

Thank you for compiling this data. The next difficulty increase will be gradual, and as the number of players continues to grow we will monitor and evaluate the right time for further increases.

The current qualifier of Aces Full of Tens beaten is in place until the next time the jackpot is hit. Full info will then be posted with details about the new requirements going forward.

If you are already making changes it would be a great time to include omaha BBJ tables as well.

I prefer lower Jackpots that are easier to hit, so thus prefer the current system. I wouldn't want the requirements to be any higher.

Just here to gather some support to bring the 25ks back in the Quarantine Series, I know there were quite a few people who enjoyed it. Maybe run a 1k or a 500 alongside the 25ks, I don't think they would cannibalize each other too much.

A 25k HU championship would be especially great!

Thank you. I like the requirement change, that jackpot hit way too often.

Thank you for feedback and suggestions. This week's schedule was focused on lower buyin events with larger fields. There is demand for higher stakes games and that will be taken into consideration when planning future events.

I lost 12k chips on a single network termination. Sent an email with a screenshot. Timed out on 100pt ofc/p 2-7 & User BertBert freerolled on me cost me 54 points but I was up 14 points before that hand. Was playing a 5k NL Hyper SNG as well at that time. I lost that too but I was in a good position. Most of the chips lost during the network termination. Honestly, If this keeps going on hard to keep playing at SWC. Username hardtime.

I sent an email about this stuff happening frequently to SwC support and never received a reply. My tables are always disconnecting or freezing on me which is why I choose to play lower stakes most of the time now.

In the last bitcointalk tournament (last Sunday) I missed a hand in the pre-flop round when I had AK because of the disconnecting issue. I thought it was my internet connection but if this happened with some of you too then I think this is something to pay attention for SwC_Poker.

This timing is very bad for me. So I miss these events.

^  Too small at 1/2 - 2/4 imo (that's like nano stakes converted to USD).  But SWC could at least start them at 10/20 (which I have been suggesting) to get some more action going on there and build their poker economy off of that.

Yeah SwC_Poker, now that it's even rarer to hit the BBJ, is there any chance it can be added to 10/20 and even 5/10?
You could always pay just 20% of the actual jackpot for winners in these rooms since the stakes are lower- proportionally it would still be a jackpot.

EVENT #68 NLH PKO STARTS IN 30 MINUTES

Half of each buyin goes to the bounty pool and the other half goes to the prize pool.

Each time you eliminate a player, 50% of their bounty is awarded directly to your cashier and the remainder is added to the bounty on your head.

The player that wins the tournament also keeps all of their own bounty.

This is an idea that has been discussed and may be possible in the future.

What do you mean 'rarer to hit.'?  I don't think SWC adjusted the minimum hands for the BJJ.  It's still the nut full house over full house afaik.  But yeah...  They should change the minimum to quads over quads and expand the stakes.

It was AAA1010 beat but now is AAAKK or better beat. The adjustment will make the JP quite a bit harder to win. We were seeing at least 1 JP a week hit for awhile, now it will be 1 per month at best.

Is there any works on the way that could help us get some more deposit chances with altcoins? I have always wanted to play here with the altcoins I have instead of my main investment bitcoin, I do however play with bitcoin right now because that is all I can do but if there was some sort of "coin to chip conversion" rate type of situation that would be awesome, that way if 1 bitcoin is X amount of chips, 1 eth would be 0.00x amount of chips as well (well not 0.00x amount obviously since there is 1 chip minimum).

I know this is a very tough thing to ask but if you do differently and separate them, where 1 bitcoin is X amount of Y chips whereas 1 ethereum is A amount of B chips, you are separating those players and you need as many people on the tables as you can instead of diluting them, hence why I think the first idea would be better.
