That's good to hear. I got one in the Spring, but none since. I only saw one bot account on this afternoon in the nlhe cash games. I'm guessing a few probably got caught and perhaps the others were informed to be cautious.

I agree that it would be nice to see the captcha more often. It sucks that it can happen during a hand with the shorter time to act, but if it gets rid of most of the bots then it's worth it.

It's obviously not foolproof, but it's better than doing nothing.

It is absolutely ridiculous. Some tables I'm starting with 60% of the meter. Some times I'm getting the old time to act. When I get the shorter one it doesn't go back to full when you get 3/4/5bet. You have to insta decide or risk getting folded. I won't sit at more than 2 tables right now. It needs to be fixed asap.

It was very surprising. The coolest part for me was finishing mine and watching all of the known bot accounts time out and disappear.

Should be 10 seconds then time bank of 20 or something like that. Some hands take a bit more time but I understand the faster the hands go the more rake they take in, sooo...
I loved the previous allotted time. It was quick, but enough time for most decisions if you're paying attention. I always hated the ridiculously long time to act that Bovada had. It made their tournaments unbearable at times.

LoL. Thanks for the info Joe. I don't play SNGs, but I will let other people know if they ask about playing them.
