Slows the game down, messes up the ecosystem (imagine fishermen at a small pond but instead of 1 or 2 poles they have 24 fishgin poles each and everywhere you're trying to fish you just run into poles and there's nothing left in the pond but tiny guppies due to over fishing), then on top of that the games get boring as hell when there are endless nits on every table. You see it all the way down to 2 nl. The rewards system of a site really effect how the ecosystem works and I guess this can work on a big site but for a little site it turns the ecosystem into a bit of a wasteland.




Just time to play more plo I guess lol.

LOL exploiting solid playing nits isn't as great as exploiting fish. Not sure why this keeps getting repeated (to the OP you quoted). Your winrate will not be as big if you exploit solid regs vs exploiting a large fish pool. Geezus...I run 50x worse on Bovada cash than I do on ACR, but at least I get people shoveling in $15 w/ QJo on J72 when I have J7. Poker is still a goldmine, and playing ACR cash is pretty lalala. More power to the grinders who play each other over and over. Guess that's why rakeback is so great on there....can suck donkey vs the regs playing mass tables and just play poker for rakeback.

So for MTTs Bovada is the choice over ACR?

Yes, ldo.

Better games, no reentry, shorter late reg, bigger guarantees, the "ISP" doesn't constantly go down, it's a no brainer.

Thank You Sir.

On that note bovada is down for the 2nd time in a week.. Wish these sites could get it together when Merge is handing them business

Yeah, makes me sad. Their disco track record is still much better than WPN though.

Wasn't it scheduled maintenance?

The MTT schedule was adjusted last night to account for this.

I wish WPN would take a not from Bov and stop catering to Regs/Regs whims. Multiple entry is bad for the entire player pool (also bad for the vibe).

Also doesn't help the the software is pure USSR, has tilting sounds (yes I have turned them off, but think about the fun players)


Hey XXXXXXX,

We want to inform you that our website will be undergoing scheduled upgrades on Thursday, August 13.

Due to this, parts of our site will be unavailable during the following times:

Bovada Sportsbook : 2:40 AM ET to 9:00 AM ET
Bovada Casino and Poker Room: 4:40 AM ET to 9:00 AM ET

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.


Best regards,


Bovada Customer Service

It crashed after for about 10 mins.

That's why they don't need to. When your competition is chasing all of their customers towards you, what incentive do you have to not suck? You just need to suck less than your competition, which isn't hard to do when it comes to Merge and their payouts (or lack thereof).

LOL complaining that a site went down for the 2nd time in a week. Get back at me when it's the standard.
