I suggest giving players the ability to remove the BJ icon from their tables if it is going to make the software crash. At least 2-3 times a session I go to click on the tournament lobby and misclick hit the BJ icon since they overlap each other and it crashes everything.

I sent support an email about the sports odds ticker. Am I the only one getting lag from it?

That's their standard answer for everything, even when their site is down. They don't read the emails that come in, and instead just blast out a form letter.

The sports ticker has a history of killing clients. The best result you can get is if the ticker itself crashes so that the client goes on working normally. But yeah, expect it to lag.

More feedback on the Notes feature:

I primarily use the Notes feature to color code my opponents. Back on Merge it took two clicks to color code someone: 1. Right click my opponent, 2. Pick the tag from the menu.

On Bovada it goes something like this:

1. Click on table window to focus
2. Click on the small Notes tab
3. Click the drop down menu to select the player
4. Use the scroll wheel to find the player
5. Select the player
6. Click the mouse once over the color desired and watch nothing happen
7. Click the mouse again over the color and it's selected
8. Click the Save button
9. Click back to the small Chat tab to return to default view

Ok I haven't yet gone back through the thread.. but here is (most) of what you've given me so far. A few things aren't on here (sync breaks, increasing table limit, increasing min-buyin) because these are things I've talked about with them recently and they still aren't interested in offering them at this time. However, I think so far you guys have come up with some really good offerings.. if there is something I'm missing, please let me know. Like I said, I'll keep this going until probably Tuesday night.

***Suggestions***

Client
- Have tables auto-open after logging in instead of having to click in lobbies to rejoin table
- Decrease Connection Issues/ Increase Client Stability
- Option for larger font sizes for stack sizes, pot sizes, and bet sizes
- Increase pod size (stack size font) on the mobile client
- Few more table view options > cleaner look with more color options
- Random number assignment, particularly for sngs
- Be able to double click on a player and take you to their note box
- Be able to right click on a player to quickly color code
- Be able to increase/decrease bet size when the table is active, instead of only when hovering over the bet slider area
- Unique player number when joining Zone (like mtts). Once a number is assigned, it can’t be used for x amount of time
- If you are going to let someone rejoin a table after 5 minutes, make them rejoin with the same stack they had when they left.
- Change bet box so that it doesn’t clear when it’s clicked on


Game Offering
- 200nl Zone
- Start Zone when a table is short-handed
- More plo8 tournaments/plo tournaments at night- 1 nightly mid-stakes for each
- Early Antes mtts. Big starting stacks with antes in play right from the start
- Heads Up Zone
- 10k stack 10 min levels that starts between 6-9pm ET
- Progressive bounty mtts
- Option for people playing hu to be able to add another table in order to easily play each other at another table
- Increase gtd of the Sunday 100k
- A few extra blind levels early-ish in tournaments
- More 10k and 5k starting stack mtts
- More tournaments between 11:00-15:00 ET
- No cap when HU in a FL game
- 5k starting stack for the 35k Sunday turbo
- Offer turbo (in lieu of or alongside) satellites to the Sunday 35k, 40k, and 100k
- A big guarantee mtt during the week

Other
- Improve communication between IT and support staff

***Bugs***
- Client crashes when trying to open mtt/sng lobby or when clicking BJ button on table
- Booted from table when only disconnected for a very short time
- After client has been open for a while (an hour+), the time it takes to load a hand history increases greatly
- When disconnected, if you are able to rejoin your table, everyone will appear to have cards
- Improvement of the stability of the Mac client- Sound randomly stops working; some crashes require a complete system reboot in order to be able to reopen the client

So maybe the problem is related to some software/a plugin that some sites use and others don't? Perhaps something that Bodog/Bovada uses that other poker sites do not? Perhaps something Bodog/Bovada has started using in the last few months?
What sites, out of curiosity? And are you on the Mac or Windows client (if Windows, what OS)?

I am unable to help with withdrawal/id issues. I believe most (all?) of the operators have a phone number or a live chat support that you could talk to in order to try to get this sorted out.

How many people were in favor of this? I actually enjoy it being annon and this could lead to players leaving and coming back with new numbers rather frequently.

Please God, no HU Zone. There is no need for it on a site w/ anonymous tables and there isn't enough players to support both pools.

It's better than having players sit out after 5 hands once they figure out you have half a clue. It's almost impossible to get action from anyone sitting at empty tables.

*A better solution could be limiting the amount of empty tables you can sit per limit to 1, instead of the way it is now at 4. The lobby gets extremely cluttered with bum hunters who refuse to play you unless you're limping every hand.

And +1 to the suggestion of giving HU players the option to add another table with the person they're playing against.

I would be all for players only being able to open sit 1 or 2 HU tables per stake.

Zoom/zone is awful for poker and I have no idea why people are so hyped about it on a network that virtually has no rakeback. Here's a comparison from Stars Zoom *****including***** rakeback. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/15...-zoom-1461881/

Part of creating this list.. and why I keep it open for about a week.. is to get discussion going on this like this (similar to the hu discussion posts after your post). It allows the network to see what players think about some of the, I guess, more controversial ideas. While what I post is the list I send them.. before the list if finalized, I am sure to go through the different ideas in order to point out things like "some were in favor of this, while others weren't" or give my personal analysis based on my experience as a poker player and what I know about Bodog's beliefs.

I didn't forget.. I addressed it right in the first paragraph before the list. The network is happy with the current min-buyins and have no interest in changing them at this time.

And that makes perfect sense. I just saw one guy post that suggestion and wondered if anybody else felt that way. It seems like giving specific player numbers would allow the weaker players to get picked on even more, which I think Bovada is against.

I see Zone as no different than playing a single session at an individual cash table. The current format doesn't have any game flow at all. It makes perfect sense to get assigned a # and then after you leave for 30 minutes or an hour the # goes back into play.

No it doesn't. I've said this a million times, short stacks are the ones who drive the action.
08-22-2014 , 06:29 PM
I'll retract my HU Zone suggestion and replace it with limiting players to only being able to sit at 1 or 2 empty HU tables per stake.

Awesome. Loving all of these!

What are the odds realistically of this stuff happening? Specifically bigger tourneys in the week and the sunday gtd?

Hope they take it serious!

100% they take these suggestions seriously, but that doesn't automatically mean that they'll all be implemented. As far as if/when you see these suggestions/changes rolled out, I couldn't fathom a guess.
08-22-2014 , 08:56 PM
Great stuff, Ice. If the sports ticker isn't gone by Tuesday, please ask them to remove it.
08-22-2014 , 09:44 PM
More card/table color options and font sizes would be sweet. Please do this

Unless you're also going to take out the default value in the box, I prefer it this way. I don't want to have to backspace 3+ times every time I want to raise.

What's worse, however, is that the bet box clears at the instant that your time bank is activated. Before I knew any better, there was countless times that I clicked the time bank button, typed in a bet amount, and thought about it for a while. Then right after the time bank gets activated, I click the raise button (to preserve my time bank), only to have the bet amount revert to a min raise.

Yeah no kidding. It took them long enough to "fix" the bet box, please please please don't try fixing it again!
