It's all good, I already mentioned that I agree revealing countries on chico wouldn't justify anything, besides the sad realization 90% of your reg buddies at mid stakes are russian/belarussian, but I just couldn't deal with the 2022 comment, I don't think much has changed in the botting department over the last couple of years. RTA is a different story, some of the higher stake regs are probably using it on chico too, but there's hardly anything you can do to prevent that

We just all want fair games available
The location data is and always has been available for them to display if they wanted to. They've chosen not to display it for several years and the reasoning is not hard to figure out. You and others have literally said why that might be in your posts. The feature was obviously accidentally enabled for a few days a few weeks ago.

I played in the games when the tables were infested with bots. While the overall skill level of the regs has likely improved some since then, I doubt the games are harder to win in than it was in the past with a table full of bots.

The one thing that would definitely impact it more is if there's less recs around, which is almost always the case with online sites the closer it is to Summer.

If ur losing/breaking evenin/or not winning as much as you would like to on chico, its because you are getting outplayed by better players. This plain simple.
lancelott, I'm sure you can understand how this post would be interepreted as insulting. Helping educate other players about the state of the games is nice and helpful, but this part of your post comes off as unnecessarily disrespectful. You shouldn't be surprised not to have received a positive response to it.

I'm pretty confident that I gave WSPreadHead access to my bot identification guide in the past. To say that he has no idea how the bots play or what they are is likely incorrect.

To have concerns about bots seems perfectly fine to me given how poorly many sites dealt with them in the past, and how some still do. Thankfully I believe Chico security did a good job eliminating them from their tables a couple of years back.

And yes, it was a fact that the vast majority of the bots were registered from Russian and Eastern European cities. And no, that obviously doesn't mean every Russian or Eastern European account is botting/cheating. I've met several players from that part of the world who I consider poker buddies.

While it's still a possibility, as it is at almost any site, I'd say the chances are still lower to encounter bots and RTA users on this network than at other networks. Wish I could speak with as much confidence on the matter as I used to be able to, but the anonymous lobby has resulted in me not having as much of a desire to put in as much volume here this year as I used to.

My god, life is so cruel. The .05/.10 bad beat jackpot is at $22k. We just ran it twice and the second run hit, straight flush beat quad 6… but second run doesn’t count.

Rarely you will come across a player at a cash game that has never played in a tournament or SnGs and their sharkscope search will come up empty.

Did anyone else get their rakeback deal canceled by Zapruder Affliates on Chico this January? I only thought of asking now

Hello.... I was playing BOL sattys yesterday and I ended up winning a $109 ticket to the main I was made hyped. They automatically regged me into the main which was cool but while I was playing the $109 I ended up winning another $109 ticket. I ended up busting the main and finished up my session. I logged back in later that day to find that I didn't have the $109 ticket anymore.

Hey mrjbay,

Usually the unused tickets are traded for the next main event. Could you look and see if that was the case? If not I will review it with the poker team.

Send me your poker nickname via PM if you don't have the extra ticket for this Sunday's Main Event.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi I suddenly started getting this message on Windows Security during a session that closed my client and can't open the client afterwards.

Hey Camden,

It sounds like your computer might have a Trojan. I think the best thing to do is try to remove that malware completely, then try to re-install the software. I found this on the web in case it helps:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi...Id=-2147235447
https://securedstatus.com/trojanwin32-bearfoos-bml/

If you still have issues once you get rid of the malware try to remove the software completely (delete everything in that folder - C:\Program Files (x86))\SportsBetting) and install from the website again.

If not good, reach out to Player Services via Live Chat... they might have some additional suggestions that are more technical.

My best,
Chris

Thanks Chris,

It seems to have resolved itself and I am no longer getting the warning. The antivirus probably detected the poker client as a false positive.

BOL is down this morning? I'm getting an invalid username/password error when I try to log in. TIA
08-16-2022 , 04:16 PM
Could you please fix hotkeys? They're a great feature in theory, but they've been unusable for years.

For example, if I set my "Check/Call" hotkey to 'X', sometimes it works. Other times it sends 'x' to the chatbox.

1. I have never shared my account with anyone

2. I haven't played on my betonline account since the end of last year.

3. I have had my account "temporarily banned" in the past but usually this was some sort of glitch that got fixed overnight

If anyone can help with this (i've contacted support) that would be great.

Had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I had already won a ticket to the Main Event and ended up winning another, but was awarded nothing. Why aren't these additional tickets automatically converted into tournament money in the amount of $109 like every other site out there if you already have the seat and are registered for the Main Event. That or it just shouldn't let you register for any more satellites.

Hi Killwaukee,

I know their poker team is close to releasing a new feature that will allow these to get automatically traded into value tickets (ability to register for any $109 event). I am keeping a pulse on this new release because I know a lot of players are expecting it. I believe for now these get traded on Mondays. Have a look later today and if you don't see the 2nd ticket awarded let me know again.

My best,
Chris

On Chico it will mean they opted out, you will not find them, Not even with the locked-sign beside

Am I correct in saying that “Small Stakes Hold’em” by Miller, Sklansky, and Malmuth is strictly for limit hold’em and not for no limit hold’em. The authors never explicitly say that.

the new 4 color deck is awful. Why change spades from black to orange? And on every deck, at least give us an option.

I do like most of the other changes just so I'm not being completely negative, don't know about the chat bubble taking up 1/3 of table space and not being detachable...
10-20-2022 , 08:23 PM
yea I agree the placement of the chat is pretty bad, I don't really like the yellow spades, and not having the +/- clicker on the bet slider kinda sucks. kinda like the update overall though. its nice that you can actually see people's avatars now.
10-21-2022 , 11:02 PM
please tell me the hand replayer button on the table is just a glitch/mistake. It used to open hand replay table, now it opens hands history, I can't even see option to replay...

Nevermind this post, not sure what was messed up but a PC reboot fixed it. Something on my end obv.
10-25-2022 , 08:16 AM
Hi, I got 7th in this zombie all in flip yesterday. No TM (as suggested) was credited to my account. Live chat could also not really give much of a clear answer (they talked about it being a "bonus credited" but couldn't tell me when and how much).
Any way to check?
