Hey BOLMike,

It appears that $1/$2 PLO tables are no longer appearing in the lobby.

Thanks,
Sam

Maybe part of their continued plan to kill off PLO.

What the hell, still no sign of them, are you seriously taking away 1/2 PLO? 1/2 to 2/5 was already such a massive jump with 2/5 playing a lot more aggro. Mike, can you comment?

Seriously Dori Dori can be camping all the time and he is never gonna be banned?
BOL Mike seriously have a look at this account and do something please, is so frustrating to be opening table and having this guy camping in all of them.
By the way, im DAMELATELA, and for those who will ask 100 times why i always want to have tables opened and not close them, i have my reasons to do it and i will keep doing it as it is fair and i am on my right to do that. Im not going to answer again about this while playing...cause i did already 100 times and guys still asking.

PLEASE BAN DORI DORI, HE IS A MASSIVE CAMPER

At least send them a message by suspending them for a few days. The correct exact name is Dori-Dori.

+1, Dori-Dori is one of the most obnoxious campers Ive ever seen
And the worst thing is that sometimes other scumbags start to see that his camping goes unpunished and start camping too

Boyacaxa also constantly camps, I’ve sent ~4 emails with multiple instances of photo proof of him camping and still he does it all the time. Mike, what can we do to make an effective dent in this? It is ruining the games

Are you seriously going to wait until bloodywolf/BenjaminFr/Stongpanyid cheats your players out of another 6 figure sum?!

This is their priority. The security service is now 10 days investigating the case of the iron man leader with nl10 in February player onpooka and deprive him of prizes. This business requires all resources and their time (2 people, 5-6 hours a day of work?)

And you with some nonsense here climb

Did you send all your data to Mike in private messages and wish him good luck and good mood? I saw, he went today on forum on 20 minutes

Day 2 of no $1/$2 PLO. It really is strange the way BOL goes about its business.

On one hand they open this forum as a way to engage their customers, gather feedback, and have a PR agent to talk to, but then on the other, they appear to not respond to feedback, ignore requests, and then make big changes(end VIP rewards, end weekly rake races, remove $1/$2 PLO) without any warning or explanation when this forum is theoretically exactly the place for this to happen.

These things are all disappointing and bad for the players but tbh, pretty par for the course with poker sites. I guess with the recent software update and opening of the forum, I thought BOL might be one of the sites trying to be better. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Since removing $1/$2 PLO the PLO game lobby now looks like this:

5 full tables of $.50/$1 PLO with 30 players sitting and 6 on wait lists.

0 tables of $2/$5 PLO, not even a single player sitting.

All they have done is drive regular $1/$2 players down to $.50/$1 b/c $2/$5 plays enormous and not many people are willing to play that high.

I don't understand the change at all, can we please have $1/$2 or at least an intermediate level like $1.50/$3 back?

I thought this forum was supposed to be a way to create a dialog between the players and management, but it's actually gone the opposite direction. A bunch of changes and Mike no longer even communicates what's going on, much less care about our input.

Very few of these changes make any sense and most actively hurt the ecosystem. If you told me there was a spy from another site making all the poker decisions for Chico in an effort to sabotage them, I would find that more believable than thinking that Chico is making decisions to help the long-term health of their site.

In NLHE, they are driving players to $.05/$.10 and $.10/$.25 with their odd decision to give the vast majority of promo dollars to those levels. In PLO, they are driving players down to $.50/$1 from $1/$2. Not only are they costing themselves lots of money in terms or reduced rake collection and giving promos away to players who won't drive more traffic, but they are also hurting the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem with much tougher games at lower levels than usual. WTF is going on with this network?

Has to be a temporary error, I'm sure $1/2 will be back shortly. I've seen the same thing happen on other networks where it was just a tech issue.

I cannot send you a private message now. Because I am a new at this forum. When I will be eligiable to send such messages, I will provide you with over 300+ scrinshots to proof their crimes.

Well, I got $1/$2 PLO back. They added it back while I was with chatting them. Sheesh, this whole operation is a complete clown show now. No one on the site even realized it had disappeared and was costing them money. Apparently no one even monitors or cares what is written in their own forum either.

Hello, the $1/$2 PL Omaha tables have been missing for the past 2 days. Can you tell me if this is a technical issue and they will return shortly or if they are permanently gone?

Ella at 6:22, Feb 28:
ICan you please wait for a moment while I find that information for you.

Ella at 6:23, Feb 28:
*Can

Ella at 6:26, Feb 28:
Thank you for your patience i just reviewed it now and we looking into it to get it added again. However there isn't any promises.

You at 6:27, Feb 28:
So you don't have any definitive answer on whether it will come back or not?

Ella at 6:29, Feb 28:
If you have a little more patience i can check with management if that's okay.

You at 6:28, Feb 28:
Yes, that's fine

Ella at 6:33, Feb 28:
Thank you for your patience. We busy adding it again it will be added shortly.

You at 6:33, Feb 28:
OK, do they have a reason why it was taken away in the first place?

Ella at 6:35, Feb 28:
To be honest with you i didn't have any idea it was missing thank you for letting me know

Ella at 6:35, Feb 28:
*had

Ella at 6:35, Feb 28:
i had know idea.

You at 6:35, Feb 28:
Haha ok

Ella at 6:36, Feb 28:
It's back now all good.

Ella at 6:36, Feb 28:
enjoy have fun!

From the same series that was not made in December vip freeroll tournament in the lobby of the tournament for vip points on 100k guaranteed, which was advertised all month on the site. And on question where tournament-said sorry, forgotten create

That's why I say that I didn't fully understand they are cunning or so absurdly weak in management that things are constantly happening that are not profitable even for them

That's why I'm saying that the security team is probably either fake or doesn't have the skills necessary for such work, judging by their cases.

lol. This rat needs to be blocked a long time ago. He also chatting answers in Russian with surprise - "What am I a fool to play with regulars and pay rake?"

And 2 more blockers - caballou and Mr.Balnavadasz

king_leoric bot, not blocker, lol

Can confirm that im beam, CROATIACHAMP, boyacaxa and Dori-Dori are campers that constantly break TOS
Will have defend ytrewq, I havent seen him camp once and he is usually playing 3handed with other regs

BenjaminFr aka bloodywolf playing again his 8 tables right now...

lmfao. Guess I was right to take all my money off the site a few months ago. To any new readers of this thread, I was one of the few who dumped hours and hours of undeniable evidence of 25NL bots into Mikes lap. Litvla, Spiritlancer are 2 of the most obvious and well known - reported by over a dozen users in this thread alone.

Please tell me at least SuDDeN hasn't been seen for a long time?

If litvla and SpiritLancer are still at the tables, this is 100% verified that Chico uses house bots. Because some bots are banned and some are not. It makes no sense why some bots are freely allowed to play after I personally sent in mountains of irrefutable proof. Lmfao.

Chico uses house bots. Hard to deny this claim when you've had a dozen long term regs outting the same bot names over and over - with multiple other long term regs providing mountains of evidence that include those same bot names.

RIP.

+1

Pure gold.

RIP

I guess I'll keep popping in every week or so to remind everyone that Mike really hasn't done anything and all his platitudes and promises should be considered white noise to anyone with even a modicum of skepticism.

Mike any news on the list of suspected bots that you were provided? Some of which have been reported by several different people over a couple of months? I would think it would be a top priority to rid the site of bots.

Mike, day in and day out I open the lobby and there are tables that look like this. Every single table. This one sat like this, with the players sitting back in and out, for 30 minutes. Like every other table in the lobby.



For what it's worth, I don't blame them for wanting to sit out versus Benjamin, as he IS CLEARLY BLOODYWOLF. What are the rest of us, without scripts, supposed to do? If we sit in, we are forced to play bloodywolf's illegal software and lose, but if we sit out, then we are part of the problem, and games won't start because people are going to be rightfully wary of sitting at a table with 5 people sitting out, then immediately playing when they sit.

What's the excuse this time? You have players breaking TOS right and left, and you do next to nothing about it. It costs your business money. What on earth is your explanation for this? No one competent runs a business like this. You said you play poker yourself and care for the integrity of the game. How do you just sit there, doing the minimum, while people ruin the games on your site?

Please do me a favor. Screenshot this post, and show it to your manager, and just tell us what the explanation is. No half-assed response from you saying that "the team is working on it". This has been going on for months now, and not a single thread of progress has been made. Tell me, what does the head of security say?
