1)  fucking donkdown.   my source of endless fail.  Please don't go there until I figure out wtf is wrong. 

2)  blind structure for Sunday 1k is in need of some levels IMO.   I am not opposed to crowd-sourcing a newly updated "normal" structure and applying it slowly to our bigger MTTs.  Just be warned, this won't go fast even once I have the structure in hand and approved by most.   It will certainly help to have something ready to fire.    obviously 150-300 a/25 was missing throughout.  This will be corrected, eventually.   Feel free to fire out some structures that will work properly for both 1500 and 3k chips. 


2) All I would like to see for Sunday 1k is change levels from 8 min to 10 min and add 300 BB level.

I have heard of people getting funds back when they have reported colluding and it could be proven.

There was a ring of pretty brazen PLO cheats at the 6 handed tables for a while, and they shut those guys down, seized their funds and refunded players.  

There are ways of colluding that are not so readily apparent, though.  Just using collusive strategies in a few key hands can give a significant advantage without standing out like a sore thumb.  If the cheats don't get greedy they can get away with it for a while.  If they've already cashed out by the time they're caught, the site ends up holding the bag.  Pretty sure Seals would make good on it, but there's no guarantee any particular cheat gets caught.

Note:  not at all unique to Seals.  There was (and I assume is) plenty of suspicious activity even on a completely on the up and up cash site like Poker Stars, and they have a very active anti-cheating program.

What's funny is a lot of the worst cheats who get caught are also terrible players who lose despite cheating.  But a good player who cheats is pretty much unbeatable.

Anyway, the action on Seals is no more shady than on any other poker site and better than some real money sites, especially if you remember the old Absolute/UltimateBet, which was shady as hell.  Not just the notorious cases, but even at the lower levels where I played.  They honestly couldn't give a shit if people were blatantly colluding.

Yeah, I agree, probably Bovada has more colluders because their player number is different everytime they play.

Does seals offer any kind of preventative measures againnst cheating?  If I can prove that i was colluded against, would anything be done?

Contact support.

This is a hypothetical question.

1)  MTT suggestions noted.  The "euro time" is where we overlay the hardest in the past, so I have to go very slow in that period.  Note that I do plan to add during that time, it is clearly "dead" for MTTs and that's not cool.

2)  but you know what is cool, the BIG BTC 20 bitcoin guarantee we snap off each and every Sunday.  By far and away the biggest prizepool each week for bitcoin pokers.

Tournament schedule looking a lot better better lately  Grin Nice work Micon!
20 chip deeper was a great addition.

A few gaps I still think need filled in:
00:00 PST
01:00 PST
09:00 PST
12:00 PST
17:00 (a non turbo option too please Wink

and some more in-between the hours would be good too. Obviously from players perspective the more tourneys the better. Overall the schedule is shaping up nicely and I see a lot of improvements lately.

I think some type of ring game promotion would help out the action a ton as well as generate more rake revenue for the site. The straight/royal flush promo was fun. A rake race type would be good too. Merge network ran an interesting ring promo a while back which gave players of all stakes a fair shot. you got 1 point per raked hand regardless of rake amount. Top 100 players with the most points shared the prize pool. A lot of things would work I'm sure but ring could use some type of promotion IMO.

Awesome Site! Keep up the good work.

Agree with all of this. 

I mostly play during the late night hours and it feels like there is a gap between 23:00 and 02:00 Pacific.

I also think some kind of ring game promotion would help keep games going.  The overnight hours are obviously going to be slower but a lot of times there will be tables going that suddenly fall apart. 

It probably wouldn't take much to motivate people to continue playing and join multiple tables.  I like the Krill system and the freerolls but it's more of an overall long term promotion.  Once you reach the requirement for each freeroll the motivation to grind more "right now" lessens until you get close to the next level.

Maybe a small weekly freeroll for players that earn a certain amount of Krill during the week.  Or a freeroll for the top 50 Krill earners of the week.  Maybe a raffle where you get one entry for every 500 Krill you earn that week. 

The prize probably doesn't even need to be very large.  Even non-monetary things like custom avatars might be enough.  Like Bitboom said a lot of different things would work.  It just needs to be something that makes people feel the need to stay at the table.

None of that is meant to sound like complaining, I love Seals and can see the improvements and am excited about the future.

 May even decrease field size first week because it's earlier, i.e. everyone will show up late for it this week.  (sorry in advance, it's in the interest of progress)

Yeah, I got caught with this.  Should be better in the future though.  Any word on doing a monthly big bigbtc?
