Hey Annie, This feature has been available ever since the current client software was rolled out a couple of years ago. I guess you've just never come across it. When it's on one of the sides just click the downwards arrow in the top right of the chat box to get it back to the default position.

Hi, MCAChiTown,

Thanks much for the info. I remember having major problems with that update downloading, and not being able to play for over a week. When it finally got fixed, I'm pretty sure I didn't check Options to see if anything changed there, so I guess I missed it. I set them when I first join a site and don't usually go back as long as things are working ok. Also, with Chat options being on a separate page, I probably would never have thought to re-visit them.

Just glad to know now that the option is there.

@BetOnlineMike Let customers have the option to filter out Double Or Nothings

These have both been mentioned multiple times but the two biggest items on my wish list:

1. Go back to giving us a table preview on the lobby sidebar. Please!

I imagine this was done as an anti-scripting measure, but it ends up having a negative overall effect on the game. This is a legitimate speed bump a player's entry initial entry into the games once they open up the lobby and for someone who wishes to follow rules and not run a seating script, it impedes the upon the (sometimes very, very important) practice of game selection that all players should be entitled to.

2. Both a longer shot clock AND a longer timebank would be greatly appreciated as many players have mentioned previously.

This is meant for those rare spots where it is a close decision that might win or lose an entire buy-in or more. 10 additional seconds literally is enough time for you to realize the gravity of the situation, decide this is a time where it's worth going into the tank, and then BOOM. You timed out before you even got to think about the actual decision you were facing.

It is a great step for BOL to have the forum in place for players to voice their opinions, hopefully someone is truly listening and taking what we have to say into consideration!

Agreed with the increased shot clock and time bank.

Also, any chances of currency to bb conversion capababity? I’m utilizing software for this sole functionality, and I was wondering if this would be included in any future updates.

Thanks

1. Yes, yes, yes, please! Definitely important for game selection, and also because the Lobby is very slow to update. If a table shows a seat available but you have to open the table (also very laggy) to see who's there and stack sizes, often the seat's already been filled.

Would also be great for the Lobby info to update more quickly, and for cash games to have a way to see which tables you're wait-listed on.


2. Totally agree. I posted affirmatively about this previously, but realize now that some of the original posters as well as myself weren't clear as to whether they were asking for a longer shot clock or a longer time bank. I'm in favor of both, although only slight increases so as not to slow the games down too much.

The current shot clock appears to be short by a few seconds when compared to other online sites. I say this because I don't have any time issues on other sites I play on, i.e. Poker Stars and Merge. On BOL, I routinely use an extra few seconds per play which depletes the undersized time bank in a short period. Then I get "sat out" more often than I'd like, and have no 'tank' time available when a crucial decision is on the line.

Is this right? Can I not even have Piosolver installed on my computer if I choose to play on Betonline? Seems kind of silly to me -- I'm not using it at all while I'm playing. Why are you looking for Piosolver instead of other software like bot software and such. This is software used to study the game afterward, and I just recently purchased it. There's no way I can analyze hands in Pio while I'm multi-tabling. Kind of annoying if I have to delete this, but got this message ---

"Please be advised that we have detected that you are currently making use of PioSolver and Pio Viewer which is infact a prohibited software. Please would you kindly remove the software while making use of the Chico poker network as it is a prohibited software. We would unfortunately have to lock your account in future should the software remain detectable."

Are you saying that Pio was closed every time you had the client open? If so, then I think that is a bit strict that the program needs to be completely off your entire computer. If it just needs to be closed while the client is open then I don't see an issue with that request.

Hi everybody,

As soon as I get an update on the new prohibited software list I will pass that information straight to you guys. We are really hoping that this update planned is going to help with a lot of the suggestions and other constructive criticism.

Mike

If the client is able to detect Pio open then I think it would be fine if the client would snap close or not allow the client to open when that program, or any prohibited software, is open/running, but I can't think of a reason off the top of my head why just having Pio closed on your computer should warrant a ban or suspension.

That would be really nice, since it can easily happen that someone wants to review something after a session but mistakenly still has the client open
Also I have PIO installed and I didnt get a warning

I honestly probably did have it open in the background as at the time I wasn't aware it was prohibited.

That's what I was confused on though. It wasn't clear if I was being asked to remove it or just not run it while playing.

That would be awesome though if the software could prompt us that it's necessary to close such applications before loading, but I really don't see why Pio is a big idea as it's really more of an after study aid, and too intensive to run/analyze real-time.

RE: Straddle and Run It Twice Tables

These tables are a great addition and I enjoy playing them with one exception. When the straddle option is selected, there is a short clock(3-5 seconds) giving the option to straddle in the appropriate positions. If you time out, you automatically sit out next hand(the BB) which forces you to miss a whole round or post the blinds dead.

While playing several tables it can be very tough to respond quickly enough. Please adjust this feature so that, 1) not selecting a option does not force a sitout, or preferably, 2) auto-straddle can be pre-selected so it does not have to be chosen each instance.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi guys good morning,

I hope you all have a great week and win lots of money.
All suggestions have been taken on board.

Kind Regards Mike

Sorry for doubling the thread, I was advised by one of the members to repost my thread here
Hello everyone,
the goal of this topic is to publicize as much as possible something that is happening on most of the second tier poker sites. Today we're going to talk about the bots in HUSNG on Chico Network, and how the administration of the sites ignores them and doesn't take any action in order to keep the action, at least that's what they think I guess. So let start right the way!
I am heavily convinced that the following players are bots:
URMOMHOTBRA
OOORLY?
ORBANVITYA88
GaborsPekPek



optimus23prime (unlike the first 4 bots, he's an operator using helping gto software and not a straight bot)

The first 4 bots are straight bots, left to play autonomously without the need of an operator. They are playing huge distances (not impossibly huge, as a player could play the same amount too, but it's rarely that you see someone playing between 1500-2200 hu sng a month, specially considering they are playing only turbo/reg speed & no hypers, it will take around 23 days a month with at least 9 hours of pure play a day. And anyone who played husng knows it's almost impossible to do that on a constant basis.
Indeed, those bots cover the lobby for almost 24/7 in order to take the first places in the weekly sng challenge on chico > https://promotions.tigergaming.com/w...n-go-challenge.
More over, they have almost identical style/stats, preflop and postflop:
-same limp/open raise ratio
-high check-raise on the flop (limp & raised pot)
-all of them are using overbets on the flop (It's something that you see pretty rare in husng)
-low fold to 3bet

In regards to optimus23prime, he's not a typical autonomous bot, he's using a helping software, that tells him in real time how to play. I've played against him too and I can assure you his game is way too close to GTO, no human can play this way. It's even more interesting to mention that he's not active on Pokerstars and IS BANNED ON PARTYPOKER FOR BEING A BOT. Chico, along any other site that he's playing on, should contact party poker to get the details.

What conclusion can we make? Besides partypoker and pokerstars, noone tries to fight bots, because they are simply afraid that without bots they will lose some of their traffic, and ofcourse this is completely wrong.
However, there are thousands of players that are afraid to go play away from pokerstars, because it's infested by bots. Also, recreational player who are always suspicious about RNG will soon avoid online poker at all cost when there will be mass talk and worries about bots! We should fight now while it's not too late. I ask you to do your part by sharing this topic with other players/affilates and by writing letters to chico network administration using the following emails :

poker@sportsbetting.ag
poker@BetOnline.ag
support@tigergaming.com

Mike,

I would LOVE a feature where you could change $ to bb. So for example all the stacks say 100bb instead of $10 at 10NL, and when you bet $0.50 at 10NL it says 5bb. This helps me and maybe others think about poker not in terms of money but big blinds and would be wonderful to have.

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...mHSTz6SOBfjqM:

^ this is an example

+1

+1

Idk if someone ever reported this before but the 2.5bb button you can make preflop raises to 3bb in a HU scenario

I believe you can change this in the table options NINzent, your settings add your bet onto the small blind that is posted.

I hope this helps

Kind Regards
Mike

Go to "options/betslider"
Then tick the option, (use "raise to" instead of "raise")

Hey two things off the top:

1. This is BOL info tab vs the new ACR one. Showing seats paid and late reg remaining is great (instead of largest/smallest stacks)

2. Longer shot clock and longer/rebuilding time bank on BOL (not by much, it just needs a little nudge upward).

Thanks

Sorry if someone already bring this up and sorry about the way I am going to explain cause my native language is not english.
I am always opening the tournament lobby to know when the ITM is coming but when I am multytabling is a lot difficult to keep track of everything. You should do something about this BetOnline Mike, maybe implement at some point in the info tab where it says our position, the amount of players that ate going to be ITM, get it? Please think about it.

Mike I know you're just the messenger but this $1 10K GTD is some bull**** man. I have 7 tables up and havent seen a hand in 10 minutes. I called a jam and dont even know if I won. We're gonna need refunds for our entries cause this is just unacceptable.

Hi,is the site down for everyone? Im not able to log in because they say they are in maintainance.

Hi guys,

Unfortunately we were not prepared to have that many players registered in a single tournament. This created an issue with the server performance, so we have had to cancel and refund the players.

We are running a 15k regular freeroll Sunday next week for all the players registered in the dollar insanity.


Kind Regards
Mike
