Ok here's what I've got... a few more hours until I send the list off

**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
- 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.
- Only allow players to sit 2 empty hu tables at a time per stake
- Option to turn ticker off
- In hand replayer, maintain preferred seat preferences
- Be able to go back through hands in hand replayer

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
- The $55 plo8 mtt that ran at night during the promotion in December
- Early Antes mtts. Big starting stacks with antes in play right from the start
- 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
- Step sngs for big series events/live events
- More Super Stack tournaments
- Phase tournaments (micro, mid-stakes, and high stakes offerings)
- Zone tournaments
- More offerings in the mobile client
- A nightly or weekly thousand-aire maker
- A Sunday package satellite: 1 satellite where every satellite winner gets a ticket to the $215 40k, the $162 100k, and the $60 35k (1 package for every $437 in the pool)
- A Bigger $22 nightly tournament

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
- try to change my seat and focus shifts from that table and it doesn’t complete the action of changing my seat the client crashes.
- Box at bottom right corner (with sit out next bb etc) pops up after minimized
- Tournament lobbies don’t update unless the lobby has been left open for upwards of a few minutes

PC client running Windows 7. I've tried duplicating the problem myself and have also been unsuccessful. But I can say that every time it's happened I've had 3-4 tables open and have been playing for over an hour. I don't play Zone.

- Be able to go back through hands in hand replayer (replayer also suffers from the same extreme delays as the hand history window)

didnt realize HU had preferred seating thats awesome doesnt matter if the change seat bug is never fixed
08-27-2014 , 07:54 PM
For the love of God get rid of the ****ing BJ and Sports icons from the tables or at least move them away from the lobby button. They don't work and crash the client, completely useless. I go to hit the lobby button and another table pops up and causes me to click the non-working icons and crashes my client at least 5 times a night. Do you guys just think it looks cool? Do those buttons work for for anyone?
08-27-2014 , 08:07 PM
I don't bet a lot of sports, but I definitely wont be until they remove that awful sports ticker...yuck!

Also, how about some 20/40 O8 6max? 30/60 o8 6max?

30/60 but it doesn't run often. A 15/30 game would be amazing though, as the action in a 15/30 structure is usually really good.
08-28-2014 , 09:17 PM
Is this bodog188? Or different? OR bodog88.com same thing?
08-29-2014 , 12:37 AM

Wouldn't it just add more games for people that want to play them? How does it ruin anything?

Shorter late registration periods in the guarantees please
08-29-2014 , 06:55 PM
They claim there sites goal is to help the recreational player not go broke by adding anonymous tables as well as many other things they have done. If they add hyper turbo hu sngs then they are just going against everything they claim to stand for the fish can go broke much quicker in those games. It also ruins the other speed games by taking alot of fish away.

New to Bovada, just signed up this weekend. Others probally ranted on these things already, but oh well, here goes.

Haven't seen software this bad since pre 2003.

Never seen software kick you off table and make u wait 5 minutes when the client crashes in the middle of a hand. You should not lose your seat in the10 seconds it takes to restart and log in.

When multiple tables pop to the front, why don't the ones you have not acted on come back to the front as you complete action on each table.

Simply amazing how little thought went into this software.

rant over.

Ice,

Also how about a feature that tells people when they are still registered for a tourney when they try to close the client...I can't tell you how frustrating it is when I find out I was registered for a tournament when I left and just didn't notice the blue dot in the lobby.

The only way this would happen would be if the guarantees were cut.. and the shorter the registration period, the more drastic the cut. So I don't see this happening.

I passed this along.. thank you.

A few things for players to look forward to...

First..

The network has begun discussing the list that you all helped me compile, and they liked many of the ideas suggested. They will really look through the list and see what they feel fits best with their recreational player model and see what they can do. Some of the things suggested have already been placed on the road map for future releases and others will be considered. Of course, not everything will be added as they need be sure that other projects continue and that the ideas still follow along with the rec player model. The network thanks all of you for contributing in a positive manner.

***********************************************

Big day tomorrow (9/1) for tournament players!

First, the second of five Punta Cana Poker Classic package satellites is tomorrow! 3 seats will be awarded with any additional money in the prize pool paying out in $2,000 increments! This satellite will take place at 20:33 ET and is a $250+$20 buyin.

The 3rd satellite will take place September 14th at 16:33.
The 4th satellite will take place September 28th at 15:33.
and the 5th and final satellite will take place October 13th at 20:33.

**********************************8

Also for tournament players tomorrow will be an extra large sampling of tournaments to play! Beginning at noon, many of the guarantee tournaments that you play daily will run not once.. but twice! Once at their normal time and then again 2 minutes later with the same buyin and same guarantee! This will add over $150,000 to tomorrow's guarantee schedule!

Good luck to all of those that play!

And finally.......

It is with great sorrow that I must say that this will be my last post here on 2+2 as the Bodog Network Liaison. I am going to be moving on to new challenges, and both I and the Network thank you all for your valuable input over the years.

I want to thank all of you that have helped the network explode in popularity like it has. The network has come a long way since I came on in March 2012. I also want to thank the Bodog Poker Network for giving me this opportunity. I had big shoes to fill with the great job Justin did as the previous liaison, and I feel I did my best with the help that you all were able to give.

I recommend that you all keep enjoying all that the Bodog Poker Network has to give. There are some great things to look forward to on the road ahead, and I think that you’ll see the network’s growth continue on!

So again.. I thank you all for the help over the past 2+ years. It’s been a blast!

Good luck to you all!

Bodog_Ice

It would've been nice for there to have been more clarification on whether A) there will be someone taking Ice's place as Liasion, or B) there will be no more official Bodog support on 2p2.
08-31-2014 , 09:01 PM
You're right.. so I'll post to clarify that there are no plans of replacement and that support is always available through your operator.
