if you think about poker like this you're doing it very wrong

Are Americans also limited to 1k deposits/day since a few days ago?

Wasn't my screen shot.

The worst one, in my opinion, was when I was grinding black chip when they were still on merge. They had the bad beat tables, I had 4 bad beat tables and 4 normal tables running. I lost quad aces to a royal flush, both players using both hole cards. Unfortunately it happened on one of the non-bad beat tables and the jackpot was over $250,000 at the time. That sort of pissed me off, it was before I got my full tilt money back and I could of really used it at the time.

Which is exactly why playing small buy-in tournaments live is torture. I played a $400 at foxwoods and literally had people threatening my life because I wouldn't agree to pay the bubble.

Id rather stick a fork in my eye for 8 hours then play a small buy-in live tournament

Wow that's pretty extreme that they were that psycho about it. I think the reason most of us do the small buy in tournys though is because we don't have the bankroll for stuff like WPT Deep Stacks or equivalent...tough to do a bigger buy in when it represents close to your entire bankroll. Definitely more fun but too much cash.

Deposited $400 (w/ 4.9% included), obv when it posts they tacked on $15 more in processing fees. Getting such a hassle/joke to play online in the U.S.

Your bank tacked on $15 in fees, not Bovada.

No, mine is $1,500, it was $2K.

I know about the international fee, it's still ridiculous.

I was at the table. Guy got 15th or so.

I was at the table. He went out around 15th.

Do they email you HHs upon request?

My understanding is, you can download all HHs up to 7 days, and after you download it or the 7 days have passed, it's gone for good?

Someone posted before that they won't.

However, in the time it took you to ask random players on a forum you could of just typed an e-mail and found out for certain in the same amount of time

You can call them and They have a way to reset your hand history for rest download.

good work but wrong thread

Be a little more results oriented. It's not a matter of "never chop" philosophy. It is a matter of chopping for the better players only makes sense when they are dealing with nearly life changing money. When the buy in is under 100 dollars its not even worth the time of negotiating the chop, but to the fun players and other stupid players it is somehow in their mind.

Jesus getting the deposit bonus is a hassle. They called me and I missed it so I called them back. They kept bringing up the sports book bonus. After finally getting them to realize that it's the poker bonus I'm talking about they said the poker supervisor is unavailable and they will call me back soon. It's been a while. Sigh.

Got this interesting email today about a recent deposit of mine. What's up with this? Is this going to be a new thing Bovada will do with your deposit?

That's unfortunate. Between the lack of bonuses and limits on deposits I'm concerned about the net flow of money.

I really really miss the old days (2007ish) when they gave you a $500 deposit bonus a month with no strings attached (you could deposit 500 a month and still take a max payout during the same month). It was a free $6,000 a year, really helped a lot of us build our rolls and I personally think it's what made them competitive vs stars/tilt in terms of player liquidity.

How do I look at a pending bet slip in this new interface they have?

this is pretty much true but only in a perfect vacuum....particularly when you are playing small field, local tournaments there are many factors to consider and sometimes I definitely feel like its directly +EV to pull $20 or something out of my pocket(rake free BTW) to pay the bubble; even if you're in no real danger of being the bubble boy yourself.

in nightly tournaments with relatively fast structures...it often comes down to like 3-4+ people who are just barely hanging on by a thread with their sub 5bb stacks.,..and from my experience(s), these are the sort of people who are very content to secure a mincash(for whatever reason). Once they have secured some sort of payout, they immediately stick the rest of their chips in with the next hand better than 56o lol. Being able to clear the FT of a bunch of ICM land-mines and **** can be particularly beneficial obv depending on your relative stack size etc.


Borg I'm just curious how often you play small, local tournaments?

After calling them again apparently it's a technical issue and I'm not the only one with the problem. They said all points will count from when I made the deposit and they're working on getting it fixed. Good to know. It shouldn't have taken 3 calls for that.

Well, depends on the player's bankroll. For example, that nightly daily pays out $1,500 for first. That's bankroll changing money for me because it almost doubles it. Now sure, I know that playing a $100 live tourny with a 2k roll is crap BRM in the first place, but sometimes people just want to play live poker and it is what it is.

If our online options weren't so damn limited with Bovada being the only game in town, and we had a good site to play on, I would still want to play live once in a while because the seats usually blow but it is more fun IMO.

You're aware this is a thread about an online site, right?I tinkz you may be confused.

Anyone else have issues with cash games lobbies not refreshing fast enough? Often only shows as one table with players on it when i know 2-3 other games are running.

Also randomly getting DC'ed from one of my 4 tables and then get booted from it cause of it while other tables still running fine. This normal?

those bonuses were awesome. but bodog could have charged me a 2000 dollar a month membership fee back then to play and i would have paid it and thanked them for allowing me to play.
