***Bodog Poker Network Official Thread*** FAQ in First Post - Page 94 - Internet Poker

Hey guys,

Unfortunately, there are some wide spread connection issues that are hitting players on the network this evening/morning. Because of this, tournaments with start times up to and including 2:30 have been, or are being, cancelled. These tournaments are following the tournament cancellation policy listed here:

Refunds are being handed out as tournaments are being cancelled. However, if you feel that the amount you receive is not correct, please allow 12-24 hours to pass (to allow for support to comb through the high volume they are receiving at the moment) and then email your operator's support.

So what does this mean for the 100k guarantee? are we going to do a chip count based on the stacks at the time of disconnect? i was one of the players, so I would like to know what I should expect. We were 8 handed at the final table when the disconnect happened.

Bovad Ice
When the site went down last night I was waiting for the Mini Series HU event to get down to 8. I won my match a good 15 min before shutdown. Bovada gave me 8th place money not to mention they gave me a semifinal ticket which is a joke and a slap in the face. So they basicly said I finished 8th. I know it's only been a few hours but I hope they make it right.

Thanks in advanced

And even though their MTT's still don't stack up to Merge's (Bovada has been improving lately) they do have a pretty good schedule of them with significant traffic. As far as any Limit traffic on Winning (Black Chip, America's Cardroom) or Revolution (Lock, Intertops) goes, all I can say is that it is terrible and at several times during the day it is non-existant. If you play Limit poker (any of the games in HORSE besides Razz) then it looks like the best choice is easy--go with Bovada. What the hell happened Merge, you used to be full of Limit players?

Seems like a lot of USA players are spread all over the place, especially after BCP moved to WPN. I still see some good limit games on intertops/carbon

Ok so it looks like things are starting to get back to normal. If you feel you have not been refunded properly from the Sunday evening/Monday morning connection issues, please contact support to let them know.

Tonight's Poker Mini Series events are: Event #21: a $16.50 $2,000 guaranteed double stack Escalating Levels tournament. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the format: Blind levels start at 2 minutes, and every other level, 2 minutes get added to the clock (capping at 20 minute levels). This allows for fast levels early on, but levels get much slower as the tournament gets deeper.

Also playing tonight is Event #22: an $11 $1,000 guaranteed Fixed Limit Stud turbo event. This event will start with a 3000 chip starting stack.

Two operators on the network (Bovada and Bodog.eu) have chosen to have scheduled down time from 4am to 8am on the mornings of Wednesday July 10th and Wednesday July 17th. Because of this, mtts that run.. or have the danger of running.. into that time frame will not run on those nights/mornings.

Something weird happening at the moment. It seems people are having a hard time sitting at tables. I'm able to sit with another person, but you can tell others are trying to sit and can't for some reason.

when you get kicked off a table after 5 min the '5 min to rejoin' should start as soon as you get kicked off, not as soon as you click the "ok" box that pops up notifying you that you are kicked off the table.
