Getting bodies in the seats will get more bodies in the seats, but how?
Yeah, that's always the key problem. You need people playing in order to get people to play.
As well as getting people to play, you need to stop scaring them off.
I was at a full 9-seat ring game earlier. Something weird happened, and one-by-one over half the players started showing up as "disconnected". I found myself sat out with "wait for big blind" auto-checked. Half the table sat out, a few people left their seats, and the game fell apart.
It's critical to iron out whatever is causing these random disconnections because nobody wants to have their hand ruined by technical troubles.
+1 no one wants the technical issues.
Tonight ST7 implemented a fix for the software issue causing the disconnections. We are still very young, and we'll fix every issue over time. I have no issue stating that this may happen again before it's fully put to bed, because I feel being open and honest with players is why many players like SwC. If there is ever equity loss in a technical error I promise to make it right.
