Not a statistician either, but the size of the standard deviation actually continues increasing along with sample size, just at a slower and slower rate.

Interested in seeing what they have for cash games outside of hold em (i.e. limit Omaha hi/lo, Razz, Badugi, etc)

Also, any particular deals out there to look for when first signing up? I came across a 100% up to 1K first time deposit bonus, but just started looking.
I'm not sure how you can check the games without downloading the client. I'm fairly certain that there are no special rakeback deals available for signing up through certain affiliates. You might be able to find a friend or someone who already has an account who will kick you back some of the referral bonus.

You cannot observe or track full tables so you can't see how many of a particular limit are running, but there surely is tons NL and PLO action at all stakes. There don't have Razz or Badugi on Bovada, just NL and limit Holdem, PLO, O8, Stud and Stud8.

And you don't need to sign up through anyone Bovada will give you the 100% deposit bonus when you make your first deposit. The rollover is like 5k poker points for a $1k bonus. I cleared a $500 (2.5k points) one in like 3 weeks (It gets credited to your account in increments)

Thank you. Any idea what limits usually run for full-ring limit O8 and Stud8?

Right now O8 is only running at 30/60 and stud has one table at each of: 0.05/0.10, 0.25/0.50, 1/2, and 5/10.

Traffic might pick up on the weekends, I'm not sure.

I'm sure I'm going to feel stupid reading this post at a later time, but I'm just feeling uncharacteristically suspicious at this moment.

I play $36 6man turbos regularly.

Last night, a player talking in the chatbox said that there are 6 hands that win 90% of the pots on Bovada. Obviously, he sounded like an idiot, but i watched him play J2ss, Q2 and 45 every single time and rack up 6k chips at 25/50.

a) this cannot be true
b) if it were true, no one would reveal their theory if they believed it to be true.

Tonight, after a string of suspicious spots I remembered what that person said last night.
The last 2 hands that I can recall are as follows...

3 handed 100/200.
Button (5k) folds.
Me (A3) 2k, Allin
BB (45ss) snap call.... (idk if its relevant that they won the spot but they snap called)

3 handed 100/200
Button (2k) folds.
SB (5k) calls 200.
Me-bb (2k, TT), raises to 800.
SB calls.
Flop: K32r
(chat box: "BYE" from SB)
SB: all in
Me: call.
turn Q.

am i nuts? or am i just going against someone who is always playing hands they believe to be falsely superior and therefore likely to take inane beats in spots that do not make any sense?

Is it possible to use a HUD on Bovada?

If so, what kind of data would it provide and what are good HUDs that work?

Sometimes I have trouble keeping track of which player is which so I think if for nothing else a HUD would help me keep track of who the fish are.

If you choose to "Search This Thread" (top right of this page) for "HUD", you'll find out what HUD works (HI), as well as some recent information about their stance on HUDs.

You can also use a PT4 and HEM hud if you want to use bovada card catcher. It's really buggy though

what are the other 3 hands that dont lose, at times It seems people know what is coming down the pike, i feel this way about full flush too. AJ in particular on full flush but no way to prove it. Just some of the plays people make, its like they know.

Ill try those 3 hands when i get and see how it goes down, lately i cant get out of the gate on bovada, im gonna look thru my HHs now and see

Hmm i found a few Q2 hands that would lof lost in zone if someone would of played them OR IS THIS CONTIGENT on someone playing these hands which in that case would spell one word
