Also, what resolution do you guys run Bovada on? I have a new laptop with 1080p screen and the lobby is just all disjointed. I cant adjust the lobby to start, then inside the lobby i have to constantly drag the windows wide and narrow to read the tournament details...it's so ****ing annoying.

Anyone have similar issues?
Similar problem. Played with screen resolution setting but having figured anything out. Let me know if you do.

I don't have the client in front of me right now, so I don't know the exact steps, but there is also a trick to force a refresh. Something like click the payout button and close that screen or scroll to the bottom of the list. Someone posted the steps in this thread a few months ago. If I think about it later when logged in, I'll post up the process. Not a mtt player though, so I may forget.

Then when you use the card, Netspend charges a fee (2% I think) and Bovada charges a fee as well.

I don't know what other options you have. But, MoneyGram sounds a lot better for me.
Thanks - Bovada recommended Netspend as well, and they can be bought at most 7-11's. Fortunately, I called my bank again to see why it still wasn't processing and I guess they made an error. They made another exemption and the deposit worked that time with my Visa.

I was in the wrong. Miscounted my deposits. My bad bovada.

Cant find a "My Vanilla" at Walmart or 7-11. They carry a ton of the other gift Vanilla gift cards, but that one.

There is no 'process.' That process would simply be a false-positive. It all comes down to just having the lobby for that specific tournament open for a few seconds on top of your screen, i.e. it's the active window. Then everything will update. Any steps are just a coincidence as the window just needs time to update. You don't have to click on anything else once the window is on top.

Ok, I'll take your word for it. Just passing along what a MTT grinder posted here before and it seemed to work for me when I tried it the few times I played them. Click the "prize info" button, close it, etc. Wouldn't be unheard of though, other parts of the client can be forced to update if you do something that causes the client to recontact the server. Click SnG or Zone and back to Cash to refresh that lobby, etc. But the MTT lobby thing could well be a coincidence. I am not going to spend time trying to verify it one way or the other.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? I've been searching google without finding much.

I just won a ticket to the 100k through the lucky draw. It looks like I only have until May 9th to use it. Unfortunately next weekend I won't be able to play so I'm looking for some information quickly so that I could possibly play tomorrow.

What are the starting stack sizes?
How long are the levels?
How many people typically enter?
What percentage of entrants get paid?
What is the pay structure?
Is there a popular strategy guide out there that I could review?

I'd greatly appreciate any insight into these questions. I also apologize if this information is easily available somewhere that I've overlooked. I'm guessing the answers are buried somewhere in these 1700+ pages.

It's a tournament.. just play solid tournament poker. Almost all of your questions could be answered by going into the tournament lobby of the 100k.

Thanks for the reply. I am referring to the 100k tourney as I've already "conquered" the lucky draw. lol Though I can no longer see the lucky draw if there was some way this could help me.

Can someone verify whether Visa Fast Funds payout will work with a BofA Visa debit card?... provided of course that the same card made a successful deposit.

Also, if you are a WA state player can you PM me about your current experience with payout options.

Thanks for the help :-)

Going to try and start 1/2 zone tomorrow at the time of the 100k. Also it would be great if bovada started 2/4 zone. I know 1/2 doesn't run a lot anymore but I think 2/4 would
