+1 to that. 30bb min on all tables is pretty awful. 40 at the absolute minimum would be tolerable but 30 simply isn't poker.

Leave the min/max buyins the way they are. The balance is perfect.

I just recently opened a bodog88 account and put money on there.

I am going back to the UK for a short while. Can I play in the UK?

10/20 is 50bb min why not 5/10? are you seriously one of those 30bb ftards XAQ? wouldn't surprise me at all i guess.

Uhh, no. I've posted about this several times to this thread and the Bovada thread.

99% sure that you cannot. They don't allow Europeans.

Also, come back soon. Bimbs is craving some Fifa.

Because Bovada cares deeply about its winning regs.

Lol. Their programmers can't even get a wait-for-bb to work, you think they are going to be able to change the structure of every tournament for one night and not stuff things up beyond belief??

So I take it you're another short stacking shovetard?

What does it matter if players are winning or not? It's about not being able to play past a flop without having a short stack all in. There's no turn play...there's no river play. Allowing bums like you to play 30bb's takes out actual poker play and turns it into bingo.

What Bovada should care about is the fact that most 100bb players won't give any short stacks action before the flop and that means less rake. There's no incentive to call your raise with anything but really strong hands because there's nothing to win from you and no room to make moves.

So to alllllll the people in this thread short stacking nl...you're all pathetic. Get some confidence in yourselves and play full.

You are wrong on all counts.

As I have mentioned before, the network is happy with what they have set the buyins at and have no plans to change them at this time.

Two questions then.

1. Why is it different for 10/20?
2. How about regular and deep tables giving players the option?

You sound stupid because you know nothing about him let alone whether hes a SS or not.

Even if he was, he is free to play however he likes within the rules of the game.

Most of the SS at low stakes are recreational losing players. Most of the rake collected is at low stakes. Forcing bad losing players to buy in for more wont increase their rake take. It will make the games more profitable for winning players and lessen their take.

In other words, its obvious that increased min buyins make the games better for winning players, both in terms of game play and profitability(unless you believe like some that all the fish will suddenly stop playing poker and leave the site if the min buyin is increased), but that ranges from something Bovada isnt interested in to something totally contradictory to what they are trying to accomplish with their poker model.

Like I really can't stand you. Everyday you spread your unhappiness with your life into this forum. We're trying to advocate for increased buy ins and like the annoying kid in school everyone hated..you're here to state the obv that doesn't need to be stated. Throw us all under the bus buddy. kys

Also are you shilling for Merge? Why are you always in here talking crap about Bovada and talking up Merge? If you don't like Bovada...gtfo maybe. Seem like you are lonely and just waste all day rebutting every post you read like your thoughts matter.

Im not. You saw one post from yesterday within the context of US poker site withdraw times in which I stated the fact that Merge cashouts were a little better lately and you created the above allegation from thin air and that one post and expect people to believe is has some kind of factual basis.

Im usually only rebutting posts that I find inaccurate, or in the case of the last one where you were insulting Dark, ignorant and or idiotic, which would explain why you overestimate how much you believe I post. Perhaps you find me rebutting posts that you make at a much higher frequency which skews your estimation.

As far as me being lonely or having thoughts that dont matter.

Pot/Kettle

Your projections are laughable at best, pathetic and transparent at worst.

Good luck.

I gave a friend my referral code to use before signing up. He used it. Is there somewhere that shows this in my account? How long does it take to get my bonus?
07-19-2013 , 03:35 PM
Ice,

I've been having serious connections issues lately. My Internet connection is connected but ill constantly disconnect from bovada, and when I'm kicked off the table due to disconnection I can't get back on the table for five minutes if its even still open. I was disconnected 5 times in the span of an hour. Is there something on my computer settings making me disconnect? please help.

Thanks

No reason to change the min buyin just because some people would rather complain than learn to play against 30bb stacks.

But what you could change is the focus steal. It's super tilting.

Here is my workaround for this:

1. In Preferences > Table Settings, check "Action Alerts Sounds Only" and "Multi-Table Sounds"
2. In Preferences > Game Play Settings, check "Disable Pop to Front"

This will only work well if you tile tables. You can now also uncheck "Disable Enter to Bet" if you wish. Having "Show Table Spotlight" checked also helps when determining which table needs action.
