how are the lhe's on ignition now compared to bovada? i know the o8's got tougher. lost 10k on first day i deposited so didn't get to try them. fwiw i pretty much lit the last 3k on fire. you know how that goes.

Bovada Bodog Ignition are all the same. I haven't noticed games getting tougher. Definitely more bot infested but as I said most of the bots are pretty bad.

Speaking of bots being terrible, I got completed rekt yesterday by a couple of bots.

I'm in 3 seat; bot in 4; bot in 6. I strongly suspect they're bots since they're making all snap decision and taking so many weird lines.

Bot4 has a vpip of 70 and pfr of 50. Crazy thing is it had a fold to cbet of 50%! it would 3b and 4b pre, then donk check fold on the flop. Insane.

Bot6 has a vpip of 80 and pfr of 60. This one had an aggression of a million, and would cap pre and barrel to river with 28o, 26o.

This is over 600+ hands. And yet I was down over 6K.

You should contact support regarding that nut/nut hand that the software cheated you out of. I suspect they will reimburse you at least your own contribution to the pot if you ask nicely. They have done so in the past in situations where a software crash has caused a player to fold literal nut hands.

i don't get the turn raise either, but w/e. i've lost at least a few thousand from disconnections using a mac (bovada's mac software sucks). i'm guessing this happened in the morning time? the 1 experience i had playing into the morning, the software was almost unusable on ignition.

They insist it was my connection, not theirs. =\ No compensation. I'll look into getting a backup connection, or keep my phone on hand and see if I can insta-tether the times my connections dies. Still a pain.

Turn raise is possibly bad, but my read is villains were bad.

backup internet connection is what - 50, 70 a month? prob worth it in EV if you're constantly grinding 30 and it saves you even one or two big pots a year
02-12-2017 , 08:44 AM
so what? if you know the blind is taking 2 to the face, then yeah, it works out and is an easy cap when dude 3bets. i try not to push people out if they're the ones making me money in the pot.
02-12-2017 , 05:19 PM
i don't even need to account for $k's of money my old connection has cost me online. i just figure, how much is all the random **** in my room worth that i've destroyed over disconnects?

Fun hand

CO raise, I 3b AJ in the SB, BB 4bs, all call

Flop AA5r
I check, BB bets, CO folds, I flat, intending to xr turn.

Turn 6
I check, BB times down and checks

River 9
I check again, He instashows 78s, wins the pot, then sits out.

(i.e. if I had bet at any time, his hand would have been mucked)

Joey is dead to me... years of bashing the Choice Center and then he creates his own version and calls it The GTO Club. Professional poker players suck.

Sounds like he got too mainstream for a hipster

"$375/month for a 24 hour GTO Text Hotline to get in touch with me personally when you need immediate advice" ...seems like a steal, emphasis on steal.


I always thought the GTO Club was a figure of speech lol. I must have missed a few podcasts.

just lol poker players. totally ashamed to have been a part of this. I mean, I like to think we werent like this before, but I am proly wrong and we were always insufferable and scummy.
03-18-2017 , 03:51 AM
He's got a classic car club hotline? What the **** for?

I would just like to meekly note that I've been saying these things for a full decade. The one thing I'll add now is that the insufferability and scumminess is easily extrapolated to society at large, it's hardly poker-specific. I mean, Vic, I lurk the politics forum and see your posts, you accurately have stated that nearly every Republican holds these traits, and Republicans/conservatives are comprised of roughly 50% of the American adult populace, so ...

I'm driving home, going 38 in a 35 on a one-lane road (going both ways). Car starts tailgating me. Hard. I'm like, wtf, and I do that move where I hit the brakes quickly to indicate "hey, stop tailgating me". This lady proceeds to hit the gas and attempt to pass me, which is ultra-dangerous on this narrow and heavily wooded one-lane road. If somebody else turns on to the street at this time it's a guaranteed, unavoidable accident. Maybe this means I should just let her go, but I don't know, I'm pretty tired of horrible people abusing non-horrible people and always getting away with it, so I slam on the gas and don't let her pass. For a good 3-4 seconds we're traveling side-by-side, with this lady on the wrong side of the street. This whole time the person is making all these gestures at me, so as I turn onto my street I flip her off. Flipping the bird isn't really my style, but I didn't have the time to roll my windows down.

38 in a 35. A super-standard rate of speed. It's not like I was going 25. I did absolutely nothing wrong, and here comes this jackass putting everybody at danger.

It is not poker players. It is people. Poker players are not the worst; humans are the worst.

What you ended up doing was a 1000x more dangerous and wrong than what she was doing.

I already implicitly admitted that what I did was dangerous. "1000x" is obviously ridiculously absurd; she's the one in the wrong lane, dog.

To say that what I did was "1000x"(lol) more WRONG???? Oh my god, **** you. I don't have anything else to say to that claim other than **** you.

At some point we have to stand up for ourselves. If not, we allow sociopaths and other assorted awful humans to walk all over decent humans and get off scot-free. I mean, if we keep letting them get away with it we might even someday wind up with a, I don't know, just spitballing here, but perhaps a pathologically narcissistic, deeply misogynistic, intellectually devoid gameshow host as our President.
