I'll add it to the cash game list. This weekend I'll roll out the first of several "what would you like to see?" posts.


Also a small change that I forgot to mention is that the chatbox has different colors now based on who is chatting (dealer is one color, warning is one color, players are another color).

How about before adding features, get them to fix the bugs that are out there. They were under no pressure to release this software when they did, so there's absolutely no excuse for this release. Bodog has long been known to have the worst software on the market, but they actually released something worse with this 4x version. Mind boggling.

This is great but I foresee a problem. Sometimes the client lags out and reacts as if player lost connection and boots him from the table. If this occurs now player would have to wait 5 minutes to get his seat IF it's still available.

I would like to suggest that this rule be modified to if player leaves table he is allowed to return with his current stack for 5 minutes - along with other players notes on him. After 5 minutes player comes in fresh.

Also +1 to the suggestion of 50bb minimum. playing shortstacks is no fun.

IMHO cakes software is 10x worse its way more laggier and disconnects.

Ever since the overall update with the software I haven't had any problems with lags or disconnects that are bodogg(vada's) fault. I'm using a tethering app with my cell so if anyone would have a problem it would be me but I'm not so if you guy's are playing on anything higher than DSL I really don't see the problem?.?.

Downloadable HH would be nice. I hope this update is sooner than later.

Also Ice, can you ask them to give CS the option to unregister players from SNGs and MTTs if a player requests it before they start. I had a power outage last week and 1 of my SNGs hadnt started yet but CS coulsnt unregister me. The player is the only one with that power. It cost me money when it shouldn't have.

Anyway to get the tables to automatically come to the front of the screen when the action is on you?

Since at least the last 2 updates there is a lag problem on Bovada/Bodogs end. Sometimes in the evening its to the point that the hand will end and we will be stuck with the cards being shown at showdown for upwards of a minute. Doesn't happen often but it definitely happens. A LOT of clicking the button and it times out anyway for the 30 seconds and then sits at 0 for several seconds to finally react. It's not my end either, happens to everyone at the table.

I hope they never open up the option to players and the sites that do, police the feature better. People are getting scammed left and right nowadays. Very disturbing the depths people will go to gamble (though I view poker as a skill game, the people who scam usually joyride the money or ship to another account).

I was having this issue as well. I just thought it was my connection tbh...but started noticing others freeze up. It has been frustrating, to say the least.

On a side note I had to contact CS for something and asked about the client freezing up on me and was told that my connection was to blame. Good to know that I'm not the only one.

This also prevents a player from standing up and sitting right back down and erasing any notes you may take on the player.

Definitely some solid improvements but one important thing with this is that for me at least (and i've really NEVER had problems with the client crashing) it has been crashing for me once every session or two lately and even when I relaunch the app and log in right away at most i'll get one or two tables back up from the 4 i was sitting at. Completely agree with making fixes that prevent ratholing (and shortstacking) but the software/code needs to go back to how it was where if you disconnected/client crashes your seat should be saved/you should be able to go right back to where you were sitting. Maybe it will get better with the 5 minute timelimit but 30bb minimum has been too low.

Do agree on the sounds still needing fixing - especially when it's your turn to act etc. Not sure why they ever changed that bc it was fine before.

drexah, you using HI by chance? I was having trouble with crashing, but since I stopped using it (over a limited sample), I haven't run into it.

This +1mirron

This has been one of the biggest annoyances for me. If I'm surfing the web or have any other windows open while I'm playing, the Bovada tables don't pop to the front when it's my turn to act, causing me to time out.

This also causes other players at the table to time out as well and slows the game down.

Also, I have checked the tables pop to front box in my account settings but it doesn't help.

Make sure you have a ticket to the tournament you are trying to register.
