SWC POKER
The Start of my journey in bitcoin poker,and my comeback after a good time without playing serious,its in "Seals With Clubs" or simply SwC Poker,one of the oldest and trusted poker site to play with bitcoin.
They say the first we never forget,and this one will be like that,i have been playing there since february 2016 and it has been a great experience.
Even after knowing other sites i still play most there,dont know exactly what keep me in,but maybe is the clean look of the software(yeah its a software you need to download,dont work directly on browser),or maybe the amount of profit i got there or even because i know my bitcoins will be safe there.
Some Advantages and Tournament Schedules
Look
They got a bit of similarities to old pokerstars in term of software looks:
Lobby
Table
Game Varieties:
They have a good amount of poker games alternatives,going from the famous NL Hold'em to Chinese Poker,even 12 game.
Promotions:
Krill Means Loyalt and Rewards
Players receive Krill every time they are dealt into a raked hand. Collect Krill to earn permanent rewards, including rakeback, and access to exclusive freerolls. The more Krill you collect, the more rewards you unlock! Krill never decreases or resets.
Table Starter Rakeback
With 50% rakeback shorthanded! All two and three handed play, at any table with 6 or more seats, awards 50% rakeback instead of the normal rate.
Table Starter rakeback is paid weekly each Monday. The number of players sitting at the table doesn’t matter; only players dealt cards are considered. No minimum Krill required,so ever play can win.
Tournaments:
Now lets talk about the tournaments,with the change of bitcoin value,many thing was change in that area,especially at freerolls,like the payout and frequency of it,this is the current status:
Freerolls
As you can see in the picture they got about 5 to 6 freerolls per day,being 3 hold'em and others alternating modalities,and being one special called Krillrolls, normally at 19:30 pm everday,which you got to have certain number of krills to participate and gives better reward,it starts at 10+ Krill which you have to got more than 10 Krills to participate and its increase each day,like next day will be 100+ Krill then after 250+ Krill, 1000+ Krill till reach 2500+ Krill,then start over.And paid OverKrills,i believe it has same system.
The freerolls pays the 3 first places, being 1 mBtc prize pool..0.50 mBtc for the first place.And normally it has 30 to 60 players max,very little compared to others games,which make a bit easier and faster.
Minimum Buy-in Tournaments
The more cheapiest tournament its called Daily Crumb,happens everyday at 21:30 pm,and its costs only 0.10 mBtc or 10k satoshi with 4 mBtc Prize Pool, and on sunday is Sunday Crumb with 10 mBtc Prize Pool!
its a good call after you win some freerolls.
Profitable Tournaments
Sometimes appear some very good tournaments with 1 chip buy-in and 7 mBtc prize for the winner,normaly at 3:00 am,which i got a lot of profit from it,and some with 2 buy-in too,like the "SealsclubHouse.com" a special tournament which gives up to 40 mBtc with only 2 buy-in and 5+ Krill entrance:
A little of my history there and tips
After some time of discovering bitcoin,and doing some faucets for trying bitcoin,i was looking into play poker again,but now for serious ,with money and such,and looking for one to use with my 228k satoshi of bitcoin i found SwC,and created an account there,is WallaceSP,and deposited my 228k into SwC,so 2.28 mBtc and played the freerolls for some time,,last year it had freerolls ever 3 hours and with a payment of 1 mBtc each for the first place, and i tryed the 1 Chip Fast,which was prizing 7 mBtc,a risk move but it worth ,because i won!!and after that i have been able to manage better what i won,bank balance is crucial if you want to be professional,and then i was playing a lot of freerolls,even of the other games that i never played but i ended liking most of them and learning a lot,i recommend you doing the same,as a win some of them or at least placed on the prize pool,btw the minimum amount to withdraw is 20 mBtc or 0.02 Btc,so i had to win some more to withdraw,and i was growing my balance pretty fast trough freerolls and 1 chip buy in tournaments,and managed to withdraw my 20 mBtc,and after that i start from zero again,doing freerolls and 1 chips and profitable tournaments,i was doing a good average on 1 chip tournaments,the max lose streak without prize pool was 5 so i always grow the bankroll,as winning one i recovered and profit 2,and managed to get again to 20 mBtc and withdraw again,i was studying and getting better,and there was me again from zero,doing the same thing starting on freerolls and betting on the micro buy-ins,but i was not playing with much frequency,some days without playing,as you can see on the transaction history,but i decided to start again with all force on dezember,this time i wanted to continue playing with my bankroll,and played some medium buyins more 2s 3s,and i was growing again, i was about with 42 mBtc and played a tournament which the prize was 30 mBtc to the first ,20 mBtc to the second and 10 for the third,it was one of my best tournaments i was chip leader almost during all the tournament,and i was leader in a good margin when in head ups(me against another player),but i lose,but i was very happy about my results and earn 20 mBtc in a single tournament,the most that i earn so far,ended up with a bankroll of 62 mBtc or 0.062 Btc,so i withdraw,for doing some investments.
So,without investing a penny,only hard work,i managed to profit 0.10 Btc. That a good taste of hard worked money,and its value is more for what its value in the market for me.
Thank You.
