BOVADA players?

**daneblazer** · 04-22-13, 12:52 PM

Yea you generally hit your flush draw on the flop about a third of the time there...weird

i was referring to how loose the site is, but thanks

i go through these all the time....

im hovering around 2k right now, ill lose 2-300 in a night and gain it back next day...

sometimes it seems no matter how much of a favorite i am, when you are running bad on that site NOTHING will help.....

.5/1 game

kk pre VS 44

i have kk, i make it 10 to go, 3 callers, guy has 44 pops it to 60, everyone folds and its my turn, i go all in.....something liek $200 total, the guy takes the max time, calls....

4 on the flop

then theres the ak vs a6 which the a6 guys scores a 6

or when u have QQ and they have 77 and hit a straight or set....

i literally have to turn the comp off and go hot tub or something and forget about it....

been playing there a lot lately, had a great saturday run.

mikepussy was busy getting beat on in the .02 .05 tables

i wouldnt play cash there tho

**Dirt Wizard** · 04-24-13, 06:14 AM

When i first started on there i didn't like it very much. But i'm used to it now, and since someone put out the Bovada HH converter you can at least import your hands into HM or PT. Makes playing there much better.

Hopefully my luck will turn around this month. i didn't play last night, but i think they have a new cash promo.

i mainly play cash, here and there a sng or every so often a larger tourney...

the cash games are brutal, i dont know how many times people bet 50% of their stack bluffing, only to get reraise, and "be forced to call" and somehow win

@Jgik - at what stakes are you seeing all these loose games?

When i first got on there, it was really loose, but seems like more players from Merge and Revolution, etc have moved over, and things have tightened up a little bit.

usually .25/.25 and .50/1

depends on the table, but .5/1 is almost always easy to steal

I can't get their Mac software to work for the life of me.

**Itsamazing777** · 04-27-13, 02:19 PM

The heads up tournaments are cool

**daneblazer** · 04-27-13, 03:25 PM

It sounds like a denial of service attack. Bovada Facebook response...

Thank you everyone for your patience over the last two days as we experienced technical issues in our Poker Room off and on as a result first of suspiciously high traffic, and then from the ongoing impact this traffic had on our internal systems. We are confident that as of midnight (12:00 AM ET) last night the last of these issues were resolved.

To players who were directly impacted by the issues, either unable to complete a tournament they registered in or were playing in a tournament when it was cancelled and did not automatically have their buy-in returned, we will be working to issue the appropriate credits. If you were unable to finish participation in a tournament during the affected time frame and you do not receive a credit by noon (12:00 PM ET), Sunday, April 28th please contact our customer service team at 1-888-263-0000 or service@bovada.lv.

That's what happens when piss the wrong people off and you employ a half ass IT team. I just love reading responses from people on facebook such as "yesterday was fukking rediculas! I feel like I should get better then just a buy in back tho! I took 8th yesterday in a tournament BUT was chip leader when I got kicked out " and "Here I thought it was MY computer somehow. couldn't bid and lost numerous hands".

I can only hope these mouth breathers are reloading on a regular basis.

anyone actually have any luck at bovada? been playing on their site for quite a while now and no matter how I play it seems like its impossible to make a profit in the long term.

**Itsamazing777** · 05-09-13, 04:22 PM

Actually you dont hit your draw a lot

**Dirt Wizard** · 05-14-13, 01:18 PM

I actually took a 2 week break from there i was running so bad. It happens i guess, i may get back on there tonight. We'll see how it goes.

i have recently moved up to $1/2 so yes seems to be working for me....

tilt, mood, fatigue, excitement are all factors why you guys go through SO MANY beats etc......

When youre a 50/50 coin flip, its not always the best to go in and say "well its a coin flip" if you know what i mean..... ie. I have flush draw (35%), im gonna risk all of my stack
