Why do you say that swc died? I played there yesterday. Sure there are not many games running but occasionally you can find some action.
For me - it's already dead. The last time i logged in, there were far less players than even year earlier. Because i've seen it in it's better days, personally i can't play there any more.
SwC now it's not even like 1/20 of pokerstars.net (but yeah, it has crypto)
It's the same with me... Months ago I had a few tries, I logged in to check for some game and I didn't find anything, I tried again after a few days it was the same... And I simply stopped, there's no point, whenever I wish to play poker and I have some time there's a 0 action at SwC, especially with tournaments! And they still owe me two hats from winning two series!
Just heads up... it's a sure thing now, we will play the Bitcointalk poker series from 30/01! So people who wish to play some good poker should join!
