Oh no, less stalling? Say it isn't so. Lord have mercy.

Boo this man

Trying to find if I captured this on my loom. I had a free ticket to the tourney, and had the lobby open the entire time, and was forced to enter at the very beginning of the milly.

The lobby said late reg. until level 10. I'll post it if I can find on loom (have two monitors so I'm not sure if I ever dragged the tournament lobby onto the main screen that was recording).

If anyone plays this month and starts in the beginning, see what the tourney lobby says.

Stalling is very +EV unless you are the significant chip leader. I'm surprised more people don't stall near the bubble and with 2 tables left. I don't stall in cash games though, I'm not a monster.

I recently read that AK underperforms in fast fold poker. My Zone results seem to reflect the same thing. However, my sample size is fewer than 300 AK hands, and includes many hands played before I figured out how to beat Zone. The new strategy that is working for me now includes folding AK preflop in certain situations rather than ramming it all the time.

I can think of two reasons why AK underperforms. First,
People play tighter than normal in Zone. But honestly, while probably true initially, I'm not seeing that to be the case anymore, at least at the .10 - .25 level. Second, the flops that help AK often kill the action. I suppose this is true, but there's nothing special about Zone in that regard.

So what's your opinion? Does AK underperform in Zone and if so, why?

Which is why it is an angle shoot and and the T&C, but they don't do ****.

Gotta know which flops support that range, and which flops support villains range. Takes some study of course, but learning when to cbet, is a good thing. There are several positions on my charts where AKo is not a shove, but a call.

Get some good pre flop charts, where you see the action and bet sizes for say CO (and every other position) vs all other positions. They should also include squeezes and cold calls multi way, and response to open and 3bet before you.

then, study the flops that are good for your range and bad for callers range, and vice versa. Stop thinking in realms of hands, and start thinking in ranges. I sometimes take a peak at what my opponent is flatting a 3bet with. Keep in mind, deep stack play is different than 100bb play.

Heard a rumor at the casino one time that AK is a drawing hand.

all my tables just crashed.

They’re just stalling on you.

Can you still play in states that Bovada does not serve (new York or Washington state) if you’re traveling from another state that they do service?

That's the kind of question for which I wouldn't trust an answer by anyone other than the site.

Um, Bovada still serves WA state.

can confirm, at least as of dec 2019 when i left that garbage hole.

$5000 guaranteed $82 buy-in thousandaire maker is a really good value and fun tournament guys. It needs 9 players registered before it starts at 8:15PM PST otherwise it gets cancelled. It doesn't run some nights because only 7 or 8 people are registered. Sign up now guys it's worth it! Trust me!

Tournament cancelled. Only 8 people registered. Register tomorrow guys it's insanely good value! The level of play is softer than any tournament I've ever played in.

I'm confused about the Bitcoin deposit bonuses. I made a deposit a couple of weeks ago that I'm about 1/3 of the way to clearing. I keep seeing ads for their latest promotion saying "deposit at least $20 each week to enter into a drawing for free bitcoin". When I look at my available bonuses all I see are:

50% Match Up to $500
BTC-EXCLUSIVE-BV

Looking at the details for these bonuses they are the same other than the play through requirements. Nothing about a drawing to win bitcoin.

Do I have to select either of those when making a deposit to be entered into the drawing or are you automatically entered, separate from whatever bonus you select? Will doing another deposit while I'm currently clearing a bonus cause problems? If I deposit $20/week or whatever am I going to end up with 10 bonuses waiting to be cleared?

The above bonus can only be used in Casino. Those bonuses will have a 7 next to them.

You get other things for depositing (though I don't see the ad for drawing), 15k points, 10+1 tourney ticket, 25 free spins on the machine they select, and ticket to weekly depositors free roll (which you can sleep though, and make from 5 to 8).

is this specific to ignition? i never see any good deposit bonus or anything. it might be because im grandfathered rakeback tho, i donno.

I see a 25% deposit Bonus pop up every Monday and expire every Sunday on Bovada. Free spins and points, which is only ~$30. I try to avoid degenning too hard in sports and ponies to need it.

Bonus question.

If I hypothetically have $1000 in my poker account and $1200 in my casino account because of a bonus. If I lose $200 or less at the casino my poker balance doesn't change correct? Sent support this question 5 days ago and have yet to hear back.

No. It will use your "real" balance first. Bonus funds are always used last.

Thank you. Why I hesitated to play in the casino.

But if you bust your $1000 in your poker account you'll still have $200 available in your casino account and can try to run it up and clear the casino bonus.
