All I know is of all the online players I have known over the years, zero of them play bovada or beat bovada (either or) and I have on LIVE pro friend who has made money on bov, but he doesn't play properly - he deposits 500$ bullets and runs it up to 5-20k in a day or two then cashes all out. He doesn't leave 50-100 buyins in the account and play long term, he just rides heaters...
I am convinced bovada is goofed, I am a lifetime winner on every site I have ever played outside of bovada- which I am slightly down I believe. Though I did finally get top two in a couple mtts on bovada after 200 plus mtts of misery (which both came in the same day and both FTs at the same time)
Please tell me where I can find proof that good players are playing with BRM and beating bovada for a healthy ROI/BB100 so I can continue with confidence, or so I can yank my money out and hope they rot in hell for allowing all the crazy fish to hang on to their money (jesus the players are so bad there, it shouldn't be a struggle to make a living- when super fish played on other sites we **** took their money, they didn't just put it in every hand and find a win- some of the plo ring games I have played have been off the wall fishy)
end rant- hope to get some good info
Games have changed since you left, might take you time to re-acclimate
I do believe the variance is through the roof however in the 1-2knl games on Bovada. I think this is due to agression being at an all time high, not just from the regs, but the donks at these levels are getting better I.E calling less and turning hands into bluffs more, I just dont get called down nearly like i use to. Also, you have less information to make your decisions so this can translate into more mistakes.
I've had the sickest swings ive ever seen in my life on bovada at these stakes. i've had 60-70BI swings in both directions in short(ish) periods of time, a few years ago i didnt even think this was all that possible.
One thing is for sure, games do not play like 2011 any more. Variance is higher than ever JM2C.
