two noobish questions - is there any kind of poker reload bonus atm? also is there any reason to play one or the other Bovada vs. Ignition?

Nope and nope

I haven't heard of any reload bonus and they don't come around very often for these sites. Ignition gives a bigger First Deposit Bonus for poker(up to $1,000 vs $500). You have the option to bet on sports and horse racing if you play at Bovada. Everything else is virtually identical........Now to get things started. Here is Bruce Buffer.

thanks guys

Does anyone know if there is a deposit option besides crypto for NY residents?

I could be wrong, but I think the reason they offered again in NY was because of crypto.

makes sense.... thank you

can you still play from the browser on bovada/ignition or did they update their software?

they offer cards as well.... I NEVER had the option before ... only BTC

But cards are back.

Yes. I play through Safari on my iPad for MTTs. Pretty nice interface aswell which came as a surprise.

This is crap:

Subject: Ignition keeps hogging my CPU even after I close it

The subject says it all When I run Ignition (W7 computer) -- I play MTT, only one at a time -- my computer slows down and gets worse after I shutdown Ignition. Then, when I check Task Manager, I have MANY lobby.exe processes still running, sometimes taking up 95% of my CPU. I then close each instance of lobby.exe to get my CPU back (or, I can reboot my computer).

Is there a fix?

It’s true

Before I did a refresh on my PC, I had windows 7 and it ran like crap.

Windows 10 works flawlessly with it. It’s stupid they can’t fix it to be compatible , I enjoy windows 7 way more.

Yep, it works great on my W10 computer, but crappy on my preferred W7 machine.
I'm really annoyed that they can't fix the issue

is there a way to get hh once the download period is expired?

Lol this software is unreal!!!! Times me out and gets me right back on the table in seconds..except kicked me off one table so lost my whole grinded up stack. Just what a pos

When I open up SNG lobbies, the lobby will always pop up. But sometimes the Register button will not. It can take anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. I'd guess about half the time the Register button doesn't show up right away. So I end opening and closing tourney lobbies a lot more than I'd like to.

This is with no 3rd party SW running. Anyone else run into this and find a workaround?

Their support has always told me "No" when I asked this question. Although it's been awhile since I asked them (for anything).

I've been running Windows 7 for 5 years and never had an issue like the OP has complained about. It is true that there are 20 or so lobby.exe that run. I suspect each is responsible for a segment of the client. I have never seen any of them run away with the CPU, though. It follows that there is something in the OP's configuration that is causing this issue.

So I basically built my roll from Zone poker. I'm beating 50NL for a healthy clip now (not a huge sample size though), and made the move to 200NL. From my small sample at 200NL, I'm finding it to be a whole different animal. I may be able to slightly beat these games, but I'm sure I would fare far better at 50NL. This leads to my question...

Are the "regular" 6-max 200NL tables much softer than Zone 200NL tables? Or are they actually pretty close? I know having a larger time bank and the ability to get some hands on certain players to allow you to exploit them plays a role, I'm just not sure how big of a role. Anyone experienced with both who can chime in?

take whatever strategy discussion you want to have to a different thread/place, this isn't the spot for it

ty

Yeah not the place for strategy talk. I tried to PM you but it says you opted for no one to be able to message you.

my bad

Anyone else unable to get tables open? Half of mine are doing the load to 99% then turning into just a gray screen. Was running fine maybe 30 min ago

Is there anyone else reading this who sees that there are ALWAYS bullS*** hands in the Bovada tournaments? I play poker frequently and spent 6 years dealing in a casino and when I go online and play particularly on Bovada / Ignition, there are one-outers hitting SO OFTEN. More than the actual 2 - 4% odds should actually provide. I've gotten to the point where I'm afraid to ever go all in when I have the nuts on the flop because 80-90% of the time, the other player sucks out on me with a VERY small percentage of hitting the card they need. Many times I also see the same player sucking out on various players at the table, calling with absolute crap that any normal player would fold with. It puts me on tilt and I gotta stop myself from depositing more money in there because I know that the site is TOTAL BULLS***. Let me hear some responses! Obviously there's NOTHING I can do but stop playing on there but I really want to see if i'm the only one who is CRAZY and thinks that it may be setup.
let me hear some responses.... i'm ready to quit bovada / ignition

Yeah when I get the gray screen I just minimize and open another table. It doesn't seem to effect anything
