The only thing that's tilting about it is being booted from tables when you don't have a hand and then not being able to sit down for 5 min.
Your lucky it hasn't happen to you yet. I as well but it'll happen one day, in a big ass pot and dc :s.

You have to hit the circle arrow instead of the last hand number. Like the instant replay button.

Nope, should be automatic. give it a day or two, if it doesn't show contact support. You can even do it by phone their customer service is pretty decent.

Wow that's pretty hurting, if that was a live cash game you'd have a decent pay day. Aren't you in the US? why do you have Pokerstars on your desktop still? lol

Did a live $100 daily tourney yesterday. Sat down and folded first hand or two. Had to sit on alternate list so blinds were 100/200 when I sat with 40 BBs (starting stack 8000 chips). First hand I get dealt that I play is AKo in cut off. 3 limpers in front of me w/pot at 900. I bet big at 1500 so there's no chance at all that it goes multiway since I'd much rather be heads up with that hand and if I take it down without a flop great. First two limpers fold, one shockingly calls so I'm thinking he has JJ or QQ and thinks I was trying to steal the pot. Flop was K93 rainbow and pot 3500. I C bet to 1800, he jams all in for another 4-5k in chips, I call and he flips over KQo. Had him totally crushed until a queen fell on the turn.

At no time afterwards (I went with a friend who was still in it) did I hope that he blew it. In fact, when that clown somehow got to the final table along with my friend, and refused to chop $100 for 7-9th place (tourney normally pays 6 places), he lost two big hands and then wanted to chop and everyone told him to go to hell. He busted out and didn't cash. Seeing him not cash was justice as far as I'm concerned.
why the hell would he wanna chop when he has a lot of chips? he sounds like a fun guy to have at the table unlike the miserable pricks begging for chops and "saves" (the sheer ridiculousness of these things is lost on everyone who agrees to them) all the time.

all you're doing is creating another bubble. the fact people ask and in some cases beg for this stupidity is a perfect reason to say no.you can steal tons of chips from people petrified to bust out and who want to play these things for hours on end and then when they actually make a deep run are content with making peanuts.

Has anyone tried importing HHs from this weekend? I'm using Ace Poker Solutions' Bovada HH converter and PT4 and all hands in all four tourneys I tried to import are showing "unrecognized game type" (this is in PT4, Bovada converter seems to be working fine). Haven't had this issue before. Lmk, thanks.

I would agree with you on most chops, because if there's like 5 people left chopping then makes no sense since you spent all that time and effort to get there then you're throwing away the chance of winning a big ROI. Even more so in a big tourney...I hear about chops at the final table at WPT Deep Stacks events and that makes no sense to me.

However, if it's a small tourney like 37 people, $100 buy in so figure figure around $3,000 in prize fund, if they normally would pay 6 spots and final table wants to pay 7-9th place $100 apiece you're telling me $2,700 vs. $3,000 is really going to radically alter the payouts for 1-6th place? I mean sure it'll change it a little but if it's something that is commonly done at a particular tourney (which it is) then I don't see what's so horrible about it. It's just a chop to guarantee everyone at the final table at least gets their entry back.

Besides, the guy didn't have a huge stack, he had like 20 BBs and it's not like he was good so he had to know he was an underdog to cash.

Weird...yeah I just imported yesterday with no issues on PT4.

Hmm thanks for infos.

I thought it might be that they were SMP02 tourney series events and that those HHs might have different formatting for w/e reason hence the problem but nah two of them are normal tourneys.

Not sure if Bovada, converter, or PT4 issue

I thought so too. I emailed support a day ago and I got a quick response saying they are forwarding it to the marketing department for review. Haven't heard back yet. I wonder if it got messed up because my first attempt was denied and I had to try again a second time for the deposit to go through.

Yes I'm aware this convo ultimately better suited for PT4 or CTH forums but thought I'd check with others here first.

FWIW, I never was able to get one micro satellite tourny imported, so maybe some HHs are bugged for whatever reason, but I did a $11 SMPO2 event and that imported just fine, so that's probably not it.

In a perfect world Bovada just wouldn't have ****ty software in the first place that U.S. players are forced to deal with.

Paying the bubble boy in a live tournament is stupid. It does make for a good time after you decline and all of the fun players get mad though.

So basically it comes back around to the "never chop" philosophy. Eh, I guess I can understand it when as Borg said you're just creating another bubble. I dunno. It's one of those things where you'll wish you chopped if you bubble but otherwise you wish you didn't.

Chopping and paying someone money for a stupid reason aren't the same thing. If you care about min cashing you're doing it wrong.

Paying the bubble a little bit of money is extremely common in live daily tournaments where there's a small buy in and a social atmosphere. A vast majority of these players could care less about giving up the small amount of equity, they're just rec players who mostly all know each other.

I could care less about min cashing. I don't spend hours to maybe double my buy in. I just thought it was a nice gesture since making the final table and not cashing seems stupid in and of itself.

This is exactly the situation in the daily I did...it was common practice. Most of these people are a mixture of fish and donks, so yeah I don't think they're too concerned or familiar with the concept of equity. There are some good players, as with any field, but they are far outweighed by the recs.

Whats with this ****ty software? If I get disconnected, which happens a lot, I get kicked from the table and can't sit back down for five minutes and I can't buy in for what I had on the table. The disconnect protection seems to be non-existent. Doesn't work the way it claims on the website. If I'm out for a few second I get folded. No 30 second countdown. I believe I wasted my deposit.

Are you on a Mac? If so, you need to use the PC client. They might as well not have even bothered making a Mac client...it's useless.
