Bovada Poker

[BigDeem5]

I know since Black Friday, nothing compares...

But anyone have any insight/input?

govolz told me to try this..

I'm playing grade A poker and kid calling all ins with K8 o and sh*T and beating AQ/AK.. It's tough.

I'm playing the Double o Nothings/HU

Input appreciated

[daneblazer]

Aq/Ak no chance vs k8 sounds about right, no?

Rigged! ...?

Im very upset w/ CS. Did not refund me for either tournament, unreal.

[BigDeem5]

Was not my connection/computer, it was poker client freezing and blinding me out

[daneblazer]

Their software is pretty rough. You need a strong connection and shut down most other apps on your computer.

[BigDeem5]

Fukking lost a bill, played top notch +EV poker. You have idiots who get in behind and win or just call all-ins with 4 to flush with 1 to come...

Played about 18-20 tournaments, went in ahead 16 of them, ended up negative...

Not a large sample size but with the way CS treated me, fuk that site boys.

[VCURam3019]

Why do people think its the site's fault? If its the sites fault why play online poker?

hahahha agreed

Stop being cheap and pay $70/month for high speed internet. I play on Bovada exclusively and never had connection issues

[BigDeem5]

My Internet was running quickly and fine, do you realize that? Client fukked me

Call up Bovada support, they always seem very willing to help whenever I have any inquires.

Gosh u are such a dumbass..

Its ok to be jelly if you can't afford it

[BigDeem5]

Do the notes that you save on a player transfer to next tourney?

These tables are anonymous. So think real hard about what you asked, and if you can think it through correctly, maybe your poker results will improve.

I used to have problems getting disconnected there, had my cable company improve my connection, have not had any problems with getting disconnected from tourneys since.

I've played over 7,000 HU sit and go's at Bovada since the software changes, at stakes higher than what you're playing, and have won 59.2% of them. Trust me, the poker software and RNG's are just fine. You say your playing grade A poker, but I'm sure you're making tons of mistakes, as most HU players do. You're not as good as you think you are, trust me. The good news is, if you're humble and want to get better, you can. I've been successful HU sit and go player for 6 years, and I still have a lot of room to improve. There are many different variables in being a successful HU sit and go player, and some of those don't even involve the cards or the decisions at the table.

If you want to get better at this terrific and unique form of poker, I wish you good luck in your journey. It's a hard road, but you can do it. But let me give you your first tip. If you're going to insist you're playing great poker, and that everyone who beats you is a lucky player beneath you, and the software is rigged, guess what? You've already failed in your quest, and you'll never improve.

[thetrinity]

never had a problem with the software myself.

anonymous is kinda weird but it is what it is, im a little weary about cash games on there.

[thetrinity]

ill play in the series they have next month, havent had money on bovada for a long time.

[oiler]

funny it happens to me alot when i got a monster hand and there customer service are so rude giving me the run around but its never their fault.we should all just say screw them and play somewhere else with this bullshit anonymous players.there are more bots playing there than ive ever seen before

[BigDeem5]

Playing with bots is a different discussion. The guys reimbursed me 1/2 of the $42, so $21. I have over $300 in my account now from $21.

So to the moron above, I'm well aware how to play HU SnG. I have won my last 13 - at the $20 level. The players are bettors, not poker players. It is very easy to exploit them. I use this as my BR booster, not betting. I'll bet $20/unit, but I'll play more poker than make bets.

There may or may not be bots, I can't testify. However, there $20 Double Ups- $50 Double ups are soft as hell but I'm tired of people pushing 5 6 suited late in blinds and I call with A10 and lose consistently, so I went to solely HU

[daneblazer]

Their new update marks new players at the table. At first I didn't like anonymous tables, but I do now. Then again, I'm a bot...so...

[Jedi Mind Picks]

can anyone vouch for this or not?

Notes on a player in a Mtt will transfer table to table as the game continues, but they are not saved.
Once the tourney is complete or player leaves his seat in a ring the notes are deleted.

I had a friend suggest i play cash games on there. i tried it, and at first hated it, but once i got used to playing without a HUD and started seeing how soft the games were, it is now my main site.
There is a hand history converter out for Bovada now that takes their HH, and converts it into a readable format you can import into HM2 or PT4, so while the players are still anonymous, you can now see stats, graphs, and review your own play, so it has made playing there a bit nicer.

Trin- you ever get tht huge payout from the 5D contest a few weeks back? Im going to be depositing either there or BM soon. Think they are on the same network..........
