got disconnected from all my tables

apparently no one else had this problem

n00b question: is there still a strict no affiliate policy at Bovada?

I'm going to sign up and I don't want to miss out on anything, even if it's free videos from a training site or whatever. I haven't been able to find anything online.

Thanks!

Were you a sit and go player?

you can let someone refer you so they get $100 bonus or so but i think that's all

nah, just tourneys

Nothing for you as far as I know. But if someone refers you they get $100. If you have any friends that play then ask them for their referral link.

Started experiencing freezes quite often, as well. This is really annoying, obviously. Their customer support says "restart the modem" but this is baloney IMO because everything internet-related works perfectly fine. This seems like a memory leak of sorts to me, especially given that this often happens after a long session.
Really don't know what happens to money in the pot; like today I had almost clearly the best hand (not the nuts but meh) and bet the turn at the moment of freeze (not even sure if the bet went in or not. Customer rep tried to help me find the hand but couldn't do it without hand number. Let's see if it appears when I download the hands tomorrow.
In general, this is scary sh#t, don't like it at all

you can get a free copy of holdem indicator.

You can copy and paste the sound files from the stars client to the sounds folder in bovada. If you know how to install table mods it's the same thing. I have stars sounds on both of my computers bovada clients.

Still think it's crazy how many monsters and coolers you run in to on this site but I have changed some things up and have started winning at a decent clip. Still nothing like live and some of the hands that call big raises with nothing and runner runner you after flop is insane. Haven't redeposited binked a tourney and been running ok in cash site makes me smoke more due to the crazy **** though. Still not a fan but coming around to accepting it for what it is.

Just wait, it's hot/cold as ****.

Keep depositing my friend

Just signed up Friday night.

Couple of noob questions:

-Are Sundays the best days for tournaments? I played a couple that had really nice payouts and large pools yesterday.

-What day or time of day (for central US) has the most cash tables (low-mid stakes) an d SNGs available?

-Are people using any sort of HUDs, even though people are anonymous? Will I be behind if I don't use one?

-Do multiple people intentionally let the timer run out a lot? Or am I most likely seeing server lag when this happens repeatedly?

I know these has probably been asked hundreds of times, so I appreciate any response.

- Yes

- Evenings and very early mornings, better on the weekends afaik

- Yes, they use holdem indicator or they use the card catcher program from Poker Ace Solutions to use hem or pt. It only gives you stats for that session.

- People tend to act pretty slowly on this site.

Thanks.

I can see the HUD being useful in certain situations. I will look into that. I take quite a few notes, but obviously it sucks when they or you switch tables.

I see. Thanks.

It seems Bovada "doubles" its .wav files (plays the file twice in quick succession) for many sounds (dealing cards, folding cards, betting, and shipping chips to a player), which seemingly renders it impossible to import the Pokerstars .wav files for the same actions. The only two I've been able to successfully import in a true-to-Stars fashion are the checking and "your turn" alert sounds--still a very welcome addition to my grind, especially the less obnoxious "your turn" sound Stars has.

I moved from another site to play Bovada MTT'S and I love the schedule they have. This site has pros and cons like any other site, but overall between the traffic and fast payouts its goot for me. As a US player you cant be to picky post Black Friday but this site does the trick. (FOR MTTS)

Any recent cash out issues ?

Has anyone done the visa withdrawal with a netspend card?

It's not a option to wd to netspend card. You can only deposit with netspend card.

I know you've probably lost your money by now, but roulette doesn't count towards the roll over requirement. Any game that allows the player to hedge are not considered valid.

i imagine they come in the same timeframe as they would if you only were to play poker

Bovada definitely has both Pros and Cons. I'd also wager that some of the Pros on here are in fact, also cons (or at least ex-cons)

I know exactly what you mean with the sounds "doubling". If you turn off game play animation in Bovada, it 100% fixes this and the sounds come out pure.

just go down for anyone else?
