Could I get a screenshot? I checked a dozen tourney lobbies...and all of the related "tourney info" pages....nada.

It shows maximum number of players..mentions that unregistration ends 3 minutes before the tournament starts....but I haven't found a minimum number of players needed to start listed anywhere.

So let me ask you, if he can produce the screen shot or not, does it really matter?

You entered a tourney that had little to no interest from the Bovada player base, so they cancelled it and everyone got made whole prior to a hand getting played. Sounds like smart business to me and let's hope that tourney never runs again.

It only got 12 players ($700 overlay)...and never started...never showed cancelled...just refunded and never seated.

Interesting way to avoid overlays...just *poof*...tourney never existed.

I don't normally post in this thread.. but just wanted to clear this up. All of the guaranteed tournament have a minimum player requirement. This minimum is listed in the tournament lobby:



Right there where it says (4 min). The $27.50 hu mtt mentioned above was put in at the request of players in the Bodog thread. As I mentioned in the thread, the tournament has a very short leash because of poor performance of hu mtts in the past. That combined with no late registration leads to a higher minimum player requirement for that tournament:

The Lucky Draw weekly is a special satellite tournament every Saturday at 7:30 et. It is a freeroll where 1 in 10 entrants wins a ticket to the Sunday 100k. It can be found under Scheduled Tournaments > Private. Registration opens 4 hours before the tournament starts.

If any of you have questions for me.. please direct them to the Official Bodog Thread

Play two MTT's a week bink one of them. That's how it's been going for me lately.

/humble brag
It does seem like tournaments are getting easier to FT, especially $22 or less buy in.

Yea I agree. I swear it was when the change to the merge network happened. There was a influx of nit regs added to the standard limp call bovada regs.

Made me LOL. Can't blame you for getting a bit ruffled b/c I swear so many poker players are inherently lazy and won't spend an extra 15 seconds looking for the answer that's right under their nose. They're perfectly happy asking questions and wanting someone else to provide the answer. Wonder what % of these types still live at home and have their mother do most of their thinking for them. / derailment

Royal flush does not have to be shown down to be bonus-eligible, just has to win (lol).

Merge reimburses charges from credit foregin transaction fee, and any other fees on credit card statement for deposit.
Bovada doesn't, they say it isn't there responsablity.
Merge actually has one point now that is better in customer service than bovada!

Well I decided after 10 years to close my account for good.. Maybe the mtt's are ok but the cash games are definitely filled with bots colluders and possibly plants... I crushed for so long here but for over 9 months now I continually lose to worst players in limit 1-1 and other games... Players I would absolutely crush, deposit after deposit session after session nothing changes.. please don't tell me players are that much better.. If you saw how they play you wouldn't think that...for 9 months I lose 3 out of 4 sessions in limit, I easily won 3 out of 4.. and many of the the players I play are drooling fish who just call down with any hand never fold and the software just spits out card after card for them, week after week, month after month.. Ive been thru droughts, I know what's it like to run bad for months.. this is different.. I'm a 30 year WINNING poker player.. something isn't right here.. I made a TON of money over the years.. I just feel my account will never be profitable again..

It's much more then that.. I used to get checks sent weekly to me and understand you do SEEM to run bad after withdrawing. This is something WAY different..

I can share a few things I have noticed in 10 years here.. Today I'll discuss the all ins.. When I'm playing someone and they go all in in a 1-1 limit room... They have won close to 80%+ and what's even more incredible is SO HAVE I when I go all in against them.. then the match continues, as does the rake...It got to a point where I could actually know what card would hit on the turn or river based on their hand or mine.. if I was all ion.... I had 2 friends who also played daily in 1-1 limit and both of them swore they rig it for the all in player.. I don't know about mtt's or 6-10 man games but in the 1-1 room it's 100% rigged for the all in player many times I have seen them win 5 6 7 all ins in a row and the match goes on and on and on, as does the rake... when you play over a million hands in 1-1 rooms you can feel when they are scamming.. Don't think they don't make more money by doing this either...

Can't wait to see the HH's showing all this riggage, or the previous years of crushing.
