I found the rabbit cam to be very funny. Appealing to casual players ftw
08-28-2012 , 11:01 AM
So I am playing 4 tables, and all of a sudden I am disconnected from all tables. I click on my internet, and it is working fine. I am just curious when I connect back to my tables not 15 seconds later why I am kicked off one of my tables, and in a hand where I have bet 2 streets vs another player, the hand is now over and the pot was awarded to him? Why is it other players receive their entire time, and 30 seconds of disconnect protection, while I recieve nothing, and lose a pot?

+! this is a must have.. its ridicoulous that the biggest omaha and omaha hi low tournaments have a 1k gurantee only. LMAO

The daily 1k (DS) 10+1 gets over 100 people now.. if they made say a $30+3 daily 5k stack turbo omaha hi low tournament/ omaha tournament im sure it would get atleast 40-50 people. They could do 1 omaha and 1 omaha hi low or do a mixed tournament in which for 30 minutes its omaha and for the next its omaha hi low.. that would integrate players who play 1 but dont really play the other and create a fun juicy atmosphere and plus the gurantee would be over 2k atleast.. DONE GG!!!

Bodog_Ice please... I'm waiting for this simple answer for more than 2 weeks now....
Since there are many players involved, it would be cool to get the answer here rather that each one of them contacts support. Thanks for your help.
I believe that this decision is up to your specific operator, and not the network, but I will double check on this.

Odd. If you run into this problem again, please send along all relevent info to support and then to me so that it can be looked in to.

I can tell you that the network is very happy with the growth that plo and o8 tournaments have seen lately and they are definitely keeping an eye on them. I imagine if the games keep growing, you may see an expansion. I'll pass along your suggestions though.


Also, not sure if anyone noticed it, there is a new tournament style that was introduced the other day. It's labeled as "escalating blinds" and what happens is that the blinds start out at 2 minutes for the first two levels.. and after every other level 2 more minutes is added to the level length up to a max of 20 minute levels.

With regards to boracay with the points.. that is an operator specific decision, so you will want to be asking them what will happen. Marcus, same with you with the Punta Cana package.

Also, starting September 5th there will be a new pot limit omaha hi/lo tournament, it'll be at 8:35pm et:

During the week it'll be a $33 double stack with $2,000 guarantee. On the weekends it'll be a $33 double stack with a $3,000 guarantee.

My lobby shows games sometimes and not other times. For example, it will show only 1 .25/.50 table and then a minute later it will show 4. Then it will show 2. They come and go as long as I'm not physically at the table. And its not because they are breaking up/restarting, they just disappear/don't show up and then show up later.

Very annoying when trying to get on a table.
09-04-2012 , 07:15 PM
Yes that is a result of Bodog choosing to hide the full tables and eliminating waitlists. I believe it was done to enhance the experience of recreational players and to eliminate bumhunting.

Some players dislike this aspect of the changes because it sometimes makes finding a seat a little more difficult. I will not interject my opinions on the changes and let you decide for yourself. Gl

Do you accept players from New York?
09-05-2012 , 04:45 AM
LOVE the addition of more plo8 mtts!!!
09-05-2012 , 02:07 PM
Has Bodogvada ever explained why they still hide full tables/have no wait lists since going anonymous? The anonymity cancels the point, doesn't it?

You can't bumhunt someone that's impossible to locate and identify and I have to doubt that the recreational players they say they are catering to really enjoy staring at empty lobbies waiting for tables to appear.
09-06-2012 , 11:44 AM
The sounds still seem to be off, whether it's all sounds on or alerts only - something just isn't right. I've been playing on a Mac lately so maybe it's Mac specific, but I kind of remember it on PC as well from a couple weeks ago.

This is a question for Bovada, as it is up to each individual operator who they accept. I would recommend emailing or calling support to find out.

I can ask about it.

What do you mean by off?

Why is this thread still called bodog? Did they only change to bovada for the us market?

I imagine they want to avoid huge waitlists for every table where people are open limping.

Bovada is just one site on the entire network. This thread is for the Bodog Network, so I help with things dealing with all sites on the network.

With that said... there has been a lot of focus on software lately (which is fine ).. anything game wise that you'd guys like to see add/subtracted/changed?

If you mean types of games I would like to see bounty tourneys but I only play low stakes

How do I disable that stupid ****ing rebuy thing that pops up after a sit-and-go? I accidentally hit that **** and have to play another ****ing SNG when I'm ready to quit for the evening. What a stupid mother****ing option.

As of now, that is not an option. In my experience, a lot of people prefer that option as it makes it easier to keep loading sngs. I will pass along a suggestion to add an option that allows the player to disable that popup.
09-06-2012 , 11:34 PM
not sure if its been mentioned, but its very frustrating to get the 5 minute notice when you were disconnected for ~30 seconds

Thanks. I was a tad peeved when I wrote that.

The Bovada software is freezing for me very often and I am at my wits end. I have called the customer service and their best advice was to make sure I had a fan on my computer. The software will just freeze and sometimes lock up my whole computer. I can't even force quit with the task manager. Sometimes I can force quit and then when I try to login again it won't even recognize my cursor in the log in space. Happens anywhere from 1 minute to 3 hours into sessions. Ideas?

I just received an email from Bovada support that I wanted to post here. This is my first post, but I've been following this forum for a while. A lot of people have doubted that they look for collusion. The email refers to a $50+2.50 turbo double up sng. I have never emailed Bovada with a security concern.

Dear Mr ******
Account: ******

We have concluded that two players in the tournament (2195921) that you were involved in have been colluding. As such, their tournament winnings have been removed, and you have been awarded (first) place. We have added ($100) to your account.
