Showdowns between gd1990 and caroline93: 5

Showdowns between gd1990 and Michael DE: 11

Showdowns between MichaelDE and caroline93: 1

There are ZERO showdowns with all 3 players involved.

Can I ask the source? I know this forum is not a fan of GPT, but I am a premium subscriber for $200 a month.
I checked it now by doing ‘deep research’ in o1_pro model .
Model analyzed all hands for about 10minutes with a script in python.
I got this result :

Went to River / Went to Showdown
gd1990 vs caroline93     30   17
gd1990 vs MichaelDE    39   23
MichaelDE vs caroline93   18   11

Original output in a readable format :
https://i.ibb.co/mrnPWYYD/2025-06-05-11h29-15.png

GPT also created a file for me where only the hands are.
https://paste.ee/p/U4ZTnKlG


Quote from: Kalaea
Let's take a look at that hand history.
Note MichaelDE has aces (AsAh), eazy1 and BillySwords are the marks. OP has JcQs

So obv you want to build a pot and not drive off the marks. So Caroline limps, MichaelDE overlimps with aces (!) one mark (Billy) folds, the other (eazy1) in the sb is getting a good price so calls, then you whipsaw from bb with a tiny raise to 2.5bb. Caroline93 calls, then MichaelDE OVERCALLS with his aces, as does the mark. This is collusion team play 101.
Flop 8d Qc 6h. You flop top pair, bet small (2.5bb into 10bb), caroline gets out of the way, MichaelDE flats AGAIN with his overpair, and the mark folds. Oh well.
Turn Jd. You turn 2 pair, so it goes bet/raise/reraise, for some unknown reason MDE just calls instead of shipping with 3 to a straight and 2 to a flush on board..

By now even the spidey senses of road kill would normally be tingling, but when the Td puts four to a straight and three to a flush on the board you both belt it in with hands that by now are both very much bluff catchers. Give the action nobody sane would put MDE on aces, but despite beating literally nothing with your 2 pair in it goes because you know what the hands are.

This hand screams collusion.

@Kalaea - This hand to you may be collusion, and to me and others it may not look like collusion at all.

Player with Aces (MichaelDE): He used a passive trap strategy (slow play).
He deliberately showed weakness (limp, calle) to provoke aggression, not wanting to scare out of the hand.

His last check was a combination of stubbornness and logic. He recognized that his opponent's aggression on a threatening table was a likely bluff after a bad hand. At the same time, with such a large pot on the table (pot-committed) and still a very strong hand (AA), folding from his perspective was simply too difficult and costly a decision already. He decided to “catch the bluff” instead of cheating.

1. Quick note on the delay 
I’ve been busy and honestly came to terms with the loss, so I don’t refresh the thread every day. Catching up now.

2. “Zero show-downs = chip-dump”? – No. 
The first 43 hands were 3-handed at 200/400. Small-pot poker often ends pre-flop or on the flop. Tiny pots, no shove/fold transfers. Nothing unusual.

3. @LastcallS – still no proof you were even at that table. 
Twice I asked for a 1-minute screen-recording: log in, open any hand, show you’re BillySwords or Eazy1. Twice you ignored it. 
No HH from you, no screenshot of the alleged 112 800-chip refund. Your posts look identical to the SWC style—lots of claims, zero data.

4. Access for my account 
@memehunter offered to audit raw HH. I’m fine with that—but my SWC account is LOCKED, so I can’t pull fresh exports. The chat history I posted is real; SWC and LastcallS can verify or upload history it from their side.
Confirmation about locked account : https://i.ibb.co/sdm8M6FH/2025-06-04-11h12-22.png

5. Nutildah - “No clashes between the three accounts”? – Wrong. 
In the public HH there are lots of show-downs between gd1990, caroline93 and MichaelDE, including all-ins. So much for “soft-play”.
Example : https://i.ibb.co/7xFMbg71/2025-02-05-11h28-47.png

6. Fold pre-flop with KK 
One hand shows me timing out/folding KK. I was juggling ERC-20/degen day-trades and real life (alerts, child, toilet break). Check the rest of the log—I’m usually stealing SB/BB, not folding KK from this position when other players pass.

7. It’s SWC accusing me of multi-accounting—yet you’ve shown zero evidence. 
- If those 3 accounts were really funded by the same BTC wallet, publish the transaction hashes. The blockchain is public; nothing disappears.
- Add IP logs, operating systems, browser fingerprints—that’s standard in any serious investigation.
- I’ve already published the full 10-hour hand history, which you refused to share.
- I also posted other materials, while you censor posts, ban people on Telegram/Twitter for asking questions, delete messages in your self-moderated Bitcointalk thread, and freeze winning accounts without explanation. How is the community supposed to trust you?

Why should I have to prove my innocence? If you have no hard proof, the payout belongs to its rightful owner.
The rule is simple: when a company withholds a player’s funds, the burden of proof is on the company to show a violation.

8. SWC just deleted another post of mine 
I asked (again) for hashes + fingerprints in their self-moderated thread—deleted within hours. They only show up here to post fluff, never data.

Flag still open:

Yes popek1990 I played vs your 3 accouts, pretty unfair right. In fact I was the one who reported you. One suggestion from me don't you ever try to cheat again. It does not worth it. Play fair.
Here is the email I receive from swc
Sorry for the delay. SwC is a small team, it was a lot of manual work, and we wanted to make sure that we got this right. The collusion investigation has been completed, and we have reimbursed you with 112,800 chips.


@LastcallS
Recording a short screen-capture—log in, open a hand, show you’re really BillySwords or Eazy1—would settle this instantly. 
I ask you about it. I was sure you wouldn’t do it, and I wasn’t wrong. Instead we get more empty words Roll Eyes

Quote
It felt 99.9 % like collusion.
Feelings aren’t evidence. A retroactive chip credit only proves SwC can move chips, not that I cheated.
Show a video or specific hand IDs, or stop calling people cheaters.

@FreeMarketCapitalist

I reviewed your ChatGPT prompt and the response you got.
ChatGPT spit out a generic “red flags” list for collusion but never examined a single hand. There’s not one hand ID or example showing “soft-play” or “chip-dump”—just high-level speculation.
It didn’t analyze the session data at all; instead it defaulted to random internet quotes (PokerStars, PokerListings, SFGATE, bezy.co.uk).
ChatGPT is a powerful tool, but you must guide it with a precise prompt. For a real analysis, rework your prompt and paste the entire .txt hand history directly into the model rather than just linking.


I’d like to add one more important point.
The big all-in wins did NOT come from MichaelDE or Caroline93 (the accounts they claim were mine). Instead, they came from regular players like Easy1, BillySwords, and Valentinos77.

Take a look:

KK vs QQ (flop 9, K, Q) – a hand against @Easy1
https://i.ibb.co/DDZ0BGk6/2025-02-05-11h26-12.png

AA vs JQ (flop 8, Q, 6 → turn J…)
https://i.ibb.co/7xFMbg71/2025-02-05-11h28-47.png

3A vs 9A (flop A, 3, 9)
https://i.ibb.co/9kQxmqW4/2025-02-05-11h42-23.png

There were more such hands where 2 players have strong cards & flop.
Does 3 vs 3 or 2 pair vs 2 pair look like cheating?  Roll Eyes

Please support SwC here

Don't let this cheater bully us on Bitcointalk

@SwC_Poker – linking to the flag you’re trying to down-vote isn’t a defence. 
Instead of proof you post “please support us” and keep deleting my replies in your own self-moderated thread.

Here’s the PM notice for the latest deletion (today 5hours ago): 
https://i.ibb.co/Jw0fQrr3/2025-05-16-23h39-36.png

So much for “decentralized BTC Poker”.

Reminder for anyone following: 
• I published the full 700-hand history (page 2 of this topic). 
• SWC said they “can’t” show HH for privacy – yet I just did. No collusion lines, no chip-dump. 
• Still no TX-hashes, no IP logs, no evidence from SWC.

If a site withholds winnings, the burden of proof is on them – not on the player they froze.

🚩 Support the flag if you think facts > censorship: 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3394

And for anyone curious why SWC keeps erasing my posts, their self-mod thread is here (watch how fast this one disappears too): 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5068812.0

Deleting questions won’t erase what’s on-chain and what's here. Show the hashes or stop calling people “cheaters.”

You may want to throw in GPT or another large ML model to do an analysis of whether or not he thinks it was collusion. Data very much ...

Sorry for the late reply – I was on short holiday and have just now caught up with the thread.

1⃣ I see @SwC_Poker deleted yet another one of my posts in their self-moderated topic a few days ago. 
   Here, however, they keep posting more “empty” messages: lots of words, zero hard data – no TX hashes, no IP logs, no sample hand histories.
https://i.ibb.co/1GmnyQqp/2025-05-16-20h08-07.png

2⃣ @LastcallS has joined the discussion. Frankly, I don’t believe you were at that table. 
   If you’re really BillySwords or Easy1 from SWC, show a short-video of any hand after logging into your account. 
   I suspect you won’t, because you’re “friendly” with SWC-Poker and here to defend them.

3⃣ NEW DATA: while cleaning my laptop I found the complete hand history from my 10-hour session
   Since SWC refuses to publish it, I will. 
   • Who played, when, and with what cards. 
   • Exactly where my chips came from.

   https://paste.ee/p/6b8k2Ziv

Judge for yourselves.

🚩 The flag (Type 3) is still active – please support it if you believe a poker site should provide evidence instead of deleting questions: 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3394

@SwC_Poker: last chance to publish blockchain data, IP logs, fingerprints, OS etc.

Another round of silence, deletions – and zero proof from @SwC_Poker

1. SWC keeps wiping any question that asks for evidence 
I posted (again) in their self-moderated ANN thread. Result? Immediate deletion + PM from the forum bot. 
https://i.ibb.co/Qvr2b5xH/2025-05-06-21h21-49.png 
(Automated notice = post removed by the topic-starter, not a mod.)

2. They “quote” my reply in this public thread 
Below is their entire answer – still no hashes, no IP logs, no screenshots, no table history, just the same accusation:

Quote from: SwC_Poker
This user created multiple accounts … obvious collusion … SwC reviewed everything, froze his funds and redistributed them … He’s angry he got caught, nothing more.... eh  Lips sealed

3. Zero transparency: 
• No BTC-blockchain TX hashes linking the “3 accounts” 
• No IP/device data/fingerprints/OS etc
• No hand-history proving collusion 
• No answer why every Telegram/Bitcointalk post asking for evidence is deleted

4. Fresh “defender” account 
A brand-new user wondering1 (created 3 days ago) turns up in the self-moderated thread, pushes a Medium article praising SWC and attacks anyone who questions them. Multi-account? You decide.

🚩 Flag update 
The more they delete, the clearer the pattern becomes: censorship > transparency. 
If you agree that crypto poker sites should back accusations with on-chain proof, please support the flag (Type 3):

➡️ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3394

Only a handful of users have clicked “Support” so far – I’d appreciate any community help to hold SWC accountable.

5. Invitation still stands 
@SwC_Poker: publish the TX hashes, IP logs or full hand history. If you can prove I cheated, I’ll retract the flag and public article. Also send my my Bitcoin. Until then, deleting posts just confirms the worst.

Thanks to everyone who has spoken up & supported the flag. The more voices, the safer the next player’s bankroll.

Official flag (Type 3 – damages, no payout):

If you care about transparency in crypto poker, please review and support.

@SwC_Poker – you promised to provide blockchain evidence to the community. 
• Post the deposit TX hashes linking the “three accounts”. 
• Post IP/device logs showing it was one user. 
• Or admit the mistake and pay what you owe.

Deleting every message that asks for proof is not decentralization – it’s censorship.

Thanks for the input, both of you!

@GxSTxV – sorry you went through something similar. The pattern really seems to be: 
 accusation → zero proof → silence/deletion. Why burn a long‑standing brand for short‑term gains? No idea, but that’s exactly what seems to be happening.

@alani123 – yes, SWC is one of the oldest crypto poker rooms, which is why this is so disappointing. 
 I realise the deletion notices are automated, but the fact remains: they deleted every post asking for evidence instead of replying. 
 I’ll keep posting in their ANN thread until they address the accusations—or until they prove (with hashes/IP logs) that I’m wrong.

🚩 I’ve created an official flag against SWC_Poker (Type 3 – violation, damages)
If you agree that players deserve transparency, please support it here: 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3394


The invitation still stands: if anyone from SWC Poker wants to provide actual blockchain proof, IP logs, or device fingerprints, I’ll happily retract the flag and update my article. 
Until then, I’ll keep warning others so they don’t lose their satoshis the same way I did.

Thanks again for the support, and if anyone else has had trouble with SWC, please share your story or PM me. The more evidence we gather, the stronger the case.

Fully agreed. They knew exactly what they were doing when they made their ANN thread self-moderated.

It’s sad that your posts were also deleted. Clearly, they’re actively removing anything that exposes their actions.

I'll definitely consider creating a flag here on Bitcointalk. Thanks for your support—I appreciate it. Hopefully, together we can ensure enough people get warned about their scammy behavior.

If anyone else has been scammed by SWC Poker, please speak up. The more evidence we gather, the stronger our case becomes.

Update – April 2025

I logged in today to see whether the SWC Poker team had finally answered my request for evidence in their official Bitcointalk thread (the one linked earlier by @alani123).

• They have been here: the account “@SwC_Poker” posted on 11 March 2025 in this topic : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5068812.1820
• They gave no answer to my questions.
• Instead, because it’s a self‑moderated topic, they simply deleted my all posts, - They deleted post from other users too.

Here’s the PM I received after the deletion:

Quote
A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic.
There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed.
Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave.

You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one.
If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations.

https://i.ibb.co/vxPWwLRk/2025-04-22-12h45-46.png

Once again SWC‑Poker shows its true centralized nature: ban, delete, silence.
They do it here, they do it on their Telegram. Evidence requests? No justification, and no evidence. They stole from me and are silent.

Is there really nothing the community can do about scammers who hide behind self‑moderation? Suggestions welcome.

They will stay silent... They weren't very active before, and lately, they haven't been here at all... I guess it's one of the reasons why so many of us here lost interest in SWC poker a long time ago.

This is a strange situation, but very easily proven... They can see when the accounts were created, and they can see if the addresses are linked in the transaction history. Someone a little more experienced will do it in a short time.

It would be nice if someone from the SWC team came forward and shed some light on this... if they really caught you cheating, they could share some evidence, and if there's none, then they could admit their mistake, apologize, and refund your money.

Fully agreed. I am eagerly waiting for the SWC team to respond here. Providing proof—like transaction history (BTC address links), IP logs, or device fingerprints—is not difficult at all.

But I also believe they will stay silent. I know this case better than anyone, and I didn’t cheat or scam anyone. They will stay silent because it involves a significant amount of money they don’t want to return.

It’s a real shame. When I first discovered SWC Poker, I truly thought I had found a poker room I could stick with for years...

SWC aren't very consistent with their marketing here but I was surprised to find out they did post in bitcointalk the last time in Summer 2024 and their official account was active at that time:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5068812.0

You could try to post on their thread which could get some attention. It's a self moderated thread but at least it could lead them to here to pay some serious attention to the issue at hand.

@SwC_PokerI am requesting an official response to my case.

I played a long session on SWC, won big, and when I tried to withdraw my winnings, my account was frozen without any explanation or proof.
SWC accused me of multi-accounting, claiming that three accounts were linked via BTC deposits, yet they never provided any blockchain evidence (transaction hashes) to support this claim.

I asked for proof, they promised transparency, then quickly banned me and deleted all related messages.
If you truly have evidence, post it here for everyone to see.

I also had a conversation with their ambassador on Twitter. He defended them without any arguments—he send me just memes, when I sent him evidence and arguments .
I gave up , waste of time.

Anyway - Do you know any good alternatives to play poker with crypto/BTC?
If not, I guess I’ll just go back to Web2 poker  Sad
