No experience with ignition but considering they are bovada they are a scum of a company offering little to nothing to its players. .
I know what's super standard. I have experienced a 3k hand downswing on Bovada. I was just saying statistically for what happened when I looked at the possibilities it was off the chart like I have never seen before in my life. And it was a combination of statistics that all dropped.
Races, big hands, 75% ahead losses, etc, etc, etc. Then specifically on Jan 1st?! That was just too weird for me not to notice. And I do incredibly well at the game.
Like I said... I am chalking it up to variance. I have played for 13 years and I have never experienced this swing in this fashion.
As for the play? Now I am not up to what PS or other sites allow for HUDs. Last I knew HUDs, with the right scripting, basically told players how to play. All you needed to do is read the HUD and interpret the data. So this took a decent player up to a much higher level of experience.
Bov/Ign plays more like live play. People have to enter in their bets. There is no HM3 HUD with super stats. This makes the game very different where the skill difference is more of a difference.
If I am better than my opponent OTB but he has 150k hands on me that says I am raising 22% of my hands in the HJ and I fold 75% of the time to a 3b he can very accurately take advantage of that when the HUD says "hey he is raising too many hands and folds too often, 3b bluff more".
Now go to Ignition where you have no idea who is in the HJ except he seems tight and aggressive. Much harder to 3b.
Live play even different casinos you have to adjust to the field in specific ways.
