One thing that is missing is that there is no Short handed tables or 6 player tables, please add this feature...

A lot of the play on the site is actually shorthanded at the full tables. Since there are not many running games it seemed wrong to keep people waiting on those occasions. When we grow enough to support 6 and 9 we will add them. There are 6max SNGs available now.

There are HU tables, but the rake is half (via weekly rakeback) for playing HU and 3 handed at the full tables since it helps us for you to start them. If a table does get filled and you want there is another table at most stakes.

Hey, snowboard, it isn't good for playing at another site I know, sorry about that. If you can spare the screen room you could reduce the size of the browser and the table inside the browser.

Sorry about the breaks too, we can only set it according to blind rounds right now and 55 is awkward to hit that way, but I'll keep it mind and maybe we can get the system changed.

in my opinion poker websites with bitcoin funding method do have a hard time because there are to few players out there. and there is another huge point you may be missing: i know a pro online poker player and the most time he gets money from newbies and guys which dont know what they are doing. i dont think there are "stupid" people in the bitcoin network because you have to be "smart" to know bitcoins, get bitcoins and handle bitcoins Wink

Logged into seals yesterday for the first time.  I was impressed and I love that the flash client works on my MacBook!  Kudos for the site owner  Smiley

Freemoney, have you done or gotten anyone to work with the client proof-of-concept I gave you from a few weeks back?

I'm looking at possibly getting back into full-time work for the next few months at my on-call job, but that usually means I'll have a lot of "paid" down-time in the office. That means if I have spare time, I'm considering picking up working on a Python/PySide-based client for Seals with Clubs for fun again. I only choose the Python/PySide route because it allows me to rapidly prototype, and I know *most* of that stuff compared to the Java route.

If you've got an artist that can draw mock-ups of an ideal Seals with Clubs GUI for:
  • Lobby Chat
  • Ring Lobby
  • Tournament Lobby
  • Tables

That would be very helpful. I'm not an artist myself and new to GUI programming, but having something to shoot for would let me code towards a goal.

P.S. Are we confident Infiniti Poker is going to take out Seals with Clubs when it comes to Bitcoin poker? Their front-page sure looks pretty... But that's all I've seen so far. Wink

They're running beta testing open to the public. All you have to do is sign up for their newsletter and you'll get an invite. I got an invite but I refuse to run Windows in order to run the poker client.

Such a man of principle

They're probably afraid to be accused of facilitating money laundering from the US government.

Wow this is sad  Sad

It's unfortunate, but it is their site, and they must be doing something right. As we and bitcoin build credibility people will talk, they just weren't going to let us take a shortcut.

Pocket Fives did the same thing. I even got a PM saying that talking about Bitcoin was not allowed, this was almost a year ago though.

I've made a thread on 2+2, they remove them unless you pay a fairly large amount in advertising fees. Some of my posts have been removed from other generic bitcoin threads and some stay.

If other people really want to talk about it over there I'm sure something will stick eventually, so please try. And point us to it.

I'm a recently retired pro online poker player that played full time for 5 years. I can tell that the poker client and most importantly the advertisement campaign are both keys to a successful poker website. The Seal With Clubs poker client is ugly and inefficient for multi-tabling. They could also try to put some banner or at least start a support/suggestion thread on http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com Wink

EDIT: I would gladly buy some share on GLBSE.

+1 Finally some vindication!

I hate to say it but it sounds like Infiniti Poker is going to destroy SWC market cap once they come online, because they'll be offering buyins and cashouts in bitcoin.

In my head is the perfect p-2-p client server gaming product.  If there is someone that can Zuckerberg out what is in my head we will make it rain.

Seal Team 6 needs 1 or 2 more badass coders and it's on.  I just busted main event and I promise this is my main focus going forward.

Micon, I would also like to help with this.  I don't know much about coding, but I am logical, know basic programming, am a poker player, and also I am physically near by (in Vegas, and actually friends with guys at the studio behind the Palms), so if I can be of assistance to Seals or DD in some fashion, let me know.  I've also been tossing around in my head the logistics of a p2p poker protocol and would be very interested in hearing what you've fleshed out, logistically speaking.

get my cell from the guys behind Palms / always willing to listen to a real guy that wants to help out Seals / DD  Smiley
