Im consistently getting more than that as my post above states. I checked before I posted to get accurate numbers. Im getting similar numbers to goforthpoker. At least in my last 12 sessions that I checked fwiw. 235 an hour in my last session and 242 an hour the day before to be exact.

Just got disconnected while playing a sng on bovada, and get blinded down while restarting their software while playing on merge just fine at the same time.

I email to tell them and request a refund and they respond with a bunch of bs about how maybe my computer can't handle too many things at once and some other ****. Basically lying to me saying it wasn't their fault and blaming my brand new computer that is capable of running their software and 30 other things and their software is the only thing i lost connection to. Scummy site.

in fairness i was refunded the buy in after multiple emails and their investigation, but i think it was a lot of trouble to go through to get it, especially considering the amount in question in relation to the rake i've paid there

There is nowhere near 5-10k players on Hero or Bovada. Hero has more players but its similar in size. Hero(Merge) had an average of 1100 cash players this week, Bovada had an average of 870 fwiw according to Pokerscout.

You very well could have seen a much higher number. Sites have been known to embellish the numbers on their player counters. An example of that would be counting all the players at play money tables in their totals. Pokerscout might not be 100% but it will give you a much better ballpark. Good luck at the tables.

Oh, I just thought of something. In part of Bovadas relentless attack against winning players, they recently made all full tables invisible. This keeps thinking players from targeting bad players or table selecting, thus slightly tilting the playing field towards Bodogs ultimate goal of having nobody making money playing poker on their site except for them. That being the case, loading the client and looking around wont give you any clue.

Can anybody speak from experience and tell me at what point does Bovada DoN tourney's become ripe with colluders and/or bots. I am playing $10 right now, but want to move up to $20 and am wondering if they are just as soft. I imagine the $50s and above are full of sharks and colluders just waiting for an unsuspecting fish to jump in

The rate of colluders and bots is inversely proportional to the buy in level x pi x the time bank, or to put it in simpler terms, tree-fiddy.

Havent played the $50 DONs since they came out but the collusion in the $20 games is pretty rampant and only getting worse. I quit DONs and Triple Ups a while back b/c its hard to 1v2, or even 1v3. Bovada doesnt care about colluders but they actually issued refunds/credits to $20 DON regs pretty recently. Bovada hires a lot of incompetent, brainless idiots, so that alone should tell you how obvious/rampant it is.

Just a few minutes ago I was in a $10 Super Turbo and there couldn't have been a more obvious case of collusion. On the 2nd or 3rd hand I had AQo and overbet shoved an A high flop. 2 Colluding players flat called, with one having 20 chips behind. One player bet the turn, and the other folded with 20 chips behind after putting in 1400+.

Sorry but that's a strong case for stupidity, not collusion.

maybe this has already been posted, but bovada just put $200 cash in my account to play at the tables.

"We haven't seen you at the tables for a while. Come back and up your game with $200 in free cash. It's already in your account.

There's always a ton of action at the cash tables with stakes from $0.02/$0.05 to $30/$60, with various game types from Hold'em to Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo."

Same thing happened to me...pretty sweet freeroll

'Terms and Conditions:
Free cash bonus can be used anywhere in the poker room until July 3, at which point any unused bonus will be removed from your account. Standard rollover applies (3 Poker Points per bonus dollar)."

What does that mean exactly. If I run my $200 up to $1k but only accrue 300 poker point by July 3rd then how much money is left in my account, $900?

Theyve been doing this for years. They are stingy with bonuses but from time to time will give bonuses out to infrequently used accounts.

I also got free money in my account. Bodog must be desperate. I haven't played here since they started calling it bovada. I only got 55 dollars though. Guess I didn't rake enough back in day the day to get 200 like as other people. I only have til July 3 to play with it. How does this work exactly?

You put it all on a table, flop a set, lose to a flush draw. Easy enough.

I got $50 so I'm jealous of you being $5 richer than me lol.

Now basically the way I understand it is you need to earn 3 poker points per $1. Now for me I need to earn 150 poker points to keep the $50. If you don't earn the whole amount they take what you didn't earn. If I only earn 75 poker points they take $25 back if you have it I believe. Now someone correct me if I am wrong.
