So far (what I've seen in thread+what I'd like)

- 4man hu sngs
- Synchronized breaks
- Making sure the mtt lobby updates faster
- Up starting stacks for mtts that start with 1500 chips (make at least 2000)
How about more regular sit n goes to many turbo and super turbo's not enough regular games meaning at least 7-10 minute blinds.

I don't think there is anymore the only thing that tracks now is Holdem Indicator. That's only for the session I think that's what he meant.

that's only on cash games not MTT's or STT's.

They do have DON's and beginner tourneys that are pretty much almost the same just a different payout structure. They also have the triple up games.

I use HI and I don't have any issues with it for what it does.

P.S. I don't know what happened but i had issues with multi-quote.

I mean, it is handy that it seems to provide most of what you'd want in a HUD. It also has a decent hand replayer...and is currently the only way to automatically grab hand histories off of the site (though they're not importable to HEM/PT as far as I can tell).

I was referring to HI when I said 3rd party software.

Really?

Edit:
Kinda wish Bodog_Ice would respond on the subjuect. I mean if it (HI) is going to be allowed going forward, I would think HEM/PT would offer the session only stats as well.

I thought I had asked about it in the last email I sent, but I was mistaken. I'll be sure to find out soon.

Liking the mtt and sng ideas... Keep em coming. I'll leave that up until some time this weekend before moving on to the next part.

Higher buy ins for every type of SNG or MTT, for those that want to play them.

would bodog be open to put where a player is from if you hover over them? it would give a since of security know that you're not sitting on a table with people all from the same city

I hope not.
03-20-2012 , 06:14 PM
Unless the T&C changed with the anonymous tables why wouldn't HI be allowed?
03-20-2012 , 06:50 PM
It still should be then. I have not checked out current tos but some players might want to find out if Bodog/Bovada are going to change them before they shell out $80 for HI. It is not out of the question that Bodog's intentions are not to allow any sort of hud but havent realized that tos do not reflect that.

If they are indeed allowed going forward, I would hope HM/PT would follow suit.

I asked them specifically if Holdem Indicator was allowed. First they told me that no tracking software worked. Then I told them again that it has been verified that Holdem Indicator works and has worked the whole time. This is the reply they sent:

Yea looks like they didnt address that at all and afaik that is the same wording used in orig tos which allowed pt3/hem. Hopefully Bodog_Ice can further clarify (when he hears back).

Player pools are too small to maintain anonymity if they did this.

HI did an update specifically for Bodg(vada) I don't think anyone else has or even tried.

It seems they really don't care about security. I saw something that looked like collusion and I got the old we'll look into it.

This is something that will be implemented at some point, but I don't know when that will be.

And yes george, I saw your post and added it to my list.
03-21-2012 , 09:59 AM
Ice,

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but the in game alerts need to be fixed in a big way. They are simply not annoying enough. There should be multiple beeps before the time bank is even used, and then once clicked there should be at least one warning beep near the end of the time bank. Bodog is seriously missing out on lots of rake because players who multitable are timing out and not being dealt in because there are not enough beeps to alert us that we are short on time on a particular table. One single beep per street is not enough.
03-21-2012 , 07:33 PM
It also pisses off the rec players who complain in chat about timing down. The hands per hour are noticeably lower than old Bodog or any other sites. If you play turbos, supers, or hypers; you sometimes post less than 1 bb per level (yes, I've had this happen before), which imo is absurd. Its a lose-lose situation, Bodog loses rake and 4 tablers lose hands.
