Anyone playing cash just now experience a mass disconnect? I was in the middle of 3 hands when I timed out. When it re-connected half my table was gone.

I just missed out on some major value, thanks Bovada!

Also, I heard somebody say on here one time how they had software that did a statistical analysis that proved the site was legit in the times there hand won when it was ahead, etc. Can anybody on here confirm or deny truth to these rumors?
Several months ago, I decided to test the theory that regs call short-stack all-in shoves too light. So I bought in for the minimum for a while at $200 NLHE. Out of curiosity, I compared the actual results versus statistical EV for 70 or 80 all-ins and found them to be right on the money. I posted that.

Some donkeys on Bovada are really bad. But they do hit their hands on occasion, in accordance with statistical expectations. When they do, they give the appearance of knowing that the miracle card was coming, particularly when they play aggressively. This creates the perception of a rigged site to some observers. An example that I saw this morning was a donkey shoving his $70 versus an $8 raise with 44. Original raiser had KK. Short stacker hit his 4.

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if there was a way to request a particular SNG buy-in on bovada? On the 3.15 dollar HUSNG level there are regular speeds but no turbos. There are turbo speeds at the 1 dollar level, and at the 5. It would be great if they added them to the 3 dollar level but I emailed them and they said it was their software developers decision or something like that.

Is there anything further I could do to get turbo's added?

Just got an email saying I requested to change my password. I did not.

The email came from "bovada@email.bovada.lv"

Scam? I went straight to bovada and changed my password but I'm fairly certain this is not them emailing me even though the email looks somewhat legit.

I just changed my password recently and pretty sure I didn't get an email after I changed it.

That's a scam IMO. Shouldn't it come from support.Bovada or Bovada.security or something?

Strange that I got the email 1 minute after a support member contacted me in response to a question I had

How did you guys resolve your live update problems? Or did they resolve themselves? The advice emails from bovada haven't worked.

Immediately change your password and notify to bovada that someone else may have access to your account and is attempting to change your password.

Hi All:

2 questions:

1. Any word on when and if bovada is going to add SNG and MTT to mobile app?

Carbon has already added these options, so I hope bovada follows suit.

2. Does anyone out there feel that they performing better on the mobile platform? Not sure if it is variance and I'm in store for a rude awakening, but my results are popping by simply playing 1 table and not worrying about a HUD. I hope it lasts!!!

Your screen being frozen when a tournament starts in the background is really annoying. You have to find the tab and click OK before it allows you to continue playing. Has cost me a few SnGs by timing out because of this.

To all the bad regs playing 200NL. PLEASE stop talking to the fish after he gets stacked. Even stuff like "wow" or "What was that?" is inappropriate. First, your being a dick. Second, your costing everyone at the table money.

I haven't seen that but I did get a few e-mails over the last few weeks for other poker sites I have never heard of, one was like "Asiaonlinepoker" or something. Wouldn't be surprised if an e-mail list was leaked somehow because I don't use that e-mail for anything besides Bovada, not even 2pl2 so there isn't really any other way for someone to get that e-mail unless its was by random chance which I doubt.

although I did get another one that said "Click here to receive your $100 Amazon Gift Certificate" then I immediately saw the e-mail was from "support@LarryAmazon" .. nice try Larry

Hey, just need some help filling a 30K sng qualifier, the ticket only cost 450 points.

It's a 9 handed sng, first place gets a ticket for any $50+5 30K deepstacked tournament that runs at 8PM each night.

it's pretty good indeed, 450 points is cheap and it's for a deepstacked tournament.

I unregistered from the sng tonight because I wanted to have 4 cash games going but I will register again in the next few days and try to get this going again. I'm in no hurry, my ticket expire in 4 months.

Dunno if I clicked something accidentally, or if it's a new popup thing, but I just had a strange Bovada popup telling me about some tourney.

This needs more love...

While we are on it. Is there any way to click fold in advance and not have the sound or action pop up? Only have sound when you need to act. I'm often multitasking and it's annoying to stop reading and glance over at nothing.

Oh and please autoseat tourneys after You open the client. Nothing more frustrating than having the client crash deep in a SNG then logging back in and having to frantically toggle lobbies and click "take my seat". Just sit me down to active tables please. You've already posted a big "sitting out" message at least make it easier for us to sit back down.

+1, this is so annoying.
