+1 and there mtts has issues to

WTF no time bank for cash game but they have one for freerolls ?

The only change for players with the change at the end of the year is the name of the room. The same operator that has been running it for 4+ years will continue to run the room and it will have the same tournaments and same player pool. Accounts will remain the same, balances will remain, account #'s will remain the same, etc, etc. ONLY player facing change will be the branding.

so u will be taking all US states still or blocking NY,WA,MD etc etc??

What you fail to undersyand is that those bloodsuckers completely ruin the actual ratio. Think of this, two sites both have 100 players playing.
Both have 50/50 in fish to reg. However, they have different multitable rules.
On site A there is no limit.
On site B there is a 4 max rule.

Say fish play 2 tables on average and regs play 10 tables on average if possible.

On site A you will have 600 seats taken with fish sitting at 100 of those. That's only 1/6 players at a table being fish.

On site B you will have 300 seats taken and the same amount of fish.
That's 2/6 fish per table.

I just simplified the number so it's easier to understand what I'm saying. It is clear which solution generate most rake in the short term but I hope more sites will start to think long term.

If not, online poker is just heading in a worse direction every day and we will have to get a job.

Say it ain't so. I finally find a poker home after bf and now I'm reading reports that bodog is leaving u s market at years end!

Sigh.

I'm trying to be a kinder poster these days, but posts like this make it really, really hard.

only the brand name is leaving the US what is this person talking about.

Justin. For clarity the issue isn't so much losing the rakeback, which was inevitible with Bodog's path and if its for the good of the game/site I'm OK with it.

What we want to know is if the people who stole a lot of money from us are still being paid as affiliates by Bodog. Bodog publicly acknowledge affiliates exist/existed as in the t&c's someone posted, so why not comment on them in this extraordinary circumstance. I'm not suggesting you badger them every day but a statement is in everyones best interest and surely it should be on your list of topics to bring up and explain our thoughts.

There is surely a moral or ethical resposibility on Bodogs part despite the issue being not of their making, but as it directly affects their clients via a deal they did. It doesn't even need to name names and can be generic or a even leak point of view - just let them find a way to inform us.

How are they broken?

1) tables don't create when/how they're supposed to (hopefully the new software fixes this)
2) No cap on the # of empty tables one person can sit at per limit. There might be 8 tables per limit available and one ****** will be sitting at 4 of them. The inequality is ridiculous. It just leads to table blocking.
3) $1 rake is a bit of a joke at any stakes, but especially NL50 and lower
4) For a site that is supposedly about protecting recreational players, heads up tables are the biggest leach on the game.

yes i agree rake is HUGE at heads up on bodog...

it's bananas!

Posts like these and lack of moderation on RGP made me the poster I am today.

thanks!

Been having lots of trouble lately with handgrabber. I have to load and reload Bodog and handgrabber until it eventually begins to work. Seems I average around 1 out of 5 times. Anyone have a clue what the problem could be, or know a special trick to get this working?

this is what I have heard:

"to get the hand grabber working i just uninstall at first and redownload. after i have a session going i leave hand grabber running and close bodog through the task manager. usually when i do it this way hand grabber works all day."

I do not know if it works I hope this helps you.

Well, obviously if the "bloodsucker" is 16 tabling, you will have a much better chance of running into him than if he were playing 4

Vampires dont scare me. Zombies do. I vote that Bodog keeps up its "no Zombie" policy.

lol i cant imagine playing bodog more than 4 tables... the software right now would be a ****ing **** show

What if you trip and fall?

This.

I highly doubt the "too many grinding regs 16-tabling" excuse is legit compared to the incompetence of programmers to have their product do proper memory dumps. 16 tables of bodog would make my computer explode... nay, disintegrate into thin air.

not sure really, make sure both automatically "run as administrator" and make sure u always open hand grabber before the client thats all i can suggest

zombies are slow everyone knows this.. fast zombies are just cinematic fairy tales imo.

Dont wear high heels when youre running from them?

just make the zombies play on bodog they will kill themselves

Ooh good point, there would only be 4 at a time max, and every once and a while they would just fall down and stop working for a few minutes.
