More like how the spawning system fails. I haven't been able to play a full ring LHE game since the update. I've had at most 3 people at any LHE game I've joined. LHE did run before, albeit sparsely, but it did run. Not any more. Also before I could play PLO while watching for a LHE game to startup or for a seat to become available. This business of having to repeatedly go through the rigamarole of choosing stakes then sitting down to an empty table wastes our time.

So cry itt about it because thats certainly not a waste of time too...

Also, lol minbet poker

Is anyone here making significant, or decent money as a sng player on Ignition? I see the occasional cash game brags but nothing about sngs. Are these games impossible to profit on nowadays? If so what type and stakes do you play and how much are you clocking on a monthly basis? Thanks 2+2 community

As is telling people to stop whining but hey get on that high horse to waste your time that way instead

Im at a medical school commencement/graduation ceremony right now so i got loads of time to waste

But ya im out here coping with changes like an adult while youre all curled up in fetal position so somehow i must be just as pathetic for pointing and laughing, right? Lol

Limit holdem? Yeah, those games are going to suffer.

I've been playing on the update since day 1. I don't like it of course. But I've learned a few things to rotate through and at least if I'm HU's I try and sit and play against some of the fish. It's still the fishiest site out there no matter how much people want to complain.

This would be my tip to those that are complaining the most:

1) Spread out your poker bankroll to more sites.
2) Get more sites up at the same time than you did before.

If you can't get seated at a good Ignition table, then move the hunt elsewhere while you keep trying on ignition. Make your best tables priority.

And push on... It's not the end of the world.

anyone else getting insane amounts of lag? my connection seems to be fine

wtf, still can't log in. it has been 4 hours

I do think bovada will become a site where sharps are only playing 1 or 2 tables with other sites open same tIme but who isn't doing this already?

I do feel most for the American fixed limit players. Since bf, it was the only juicy place to play and now that is gone. You could make a great side income playing just 8/16 and 10/20 4 tables bovada and nothing else.

Ignition makes a good point about taking business elsewhere.

So fixed limit in America is either move to

1/ chico- high 5.5% rake & no rewards and not much flh action or even stakes above 1.5/3. Also it is with noting u will be playing on a network named chico.

2/ winning - fair rake & rewards, good steaks. No games. If you are flh winning poker network should be called "Playing?" And the answer is No. You see, you can not be " Winning" without "Playing?"

3/ seals - best rake and rewards but really no action. You can't even joke it's so bad. I wish peop!e from ignition would transfer here but that likely won't happen if it hasn't yet.

4/ learn plo and/or nl. I chose plo. I still get sparse limit golden action which I still enjoy but wish I moved to plo waaay earlier.

The thing with plo compared to holdem that I learned is that just because there are twice as many cards doesn't mean twice as much study; it means like 9 times as much. And you need a way better memory as a result.

There. I wrote this while at the gym (not a medical school commencement braggart; j/k )

It is my official unabridged survival guide for fixed limit holdem in America.


It would be helpful to sticky my post under a top thread with a title like ,

"Looking for online limit action in america? Read this."

Can't log in either. It amazes me how much this company hates money.

Great response letigra to this +rep guy.

And yes, they are the biggest money haters. It's too bad pokerbob's moneyhater.com blog is no longer.

When was I whining ? I don't even play cash exclusively

A whole 2 weeks lol

This is why we have a forum , so people can voice their concerns regarding the site BRO

Yeah , there are options and other game formats as well

But something tells me this experiment will be recognized as a fail and another change will come sooner rather than later

FYP

Translation: This is my excuse as to why I'm a huge hypocrite.

Yes, the lag seems significantly worse today than any other day I've played in recent history.

lol thats fair, i'll allow it

i'm a hypocrite because i told you guys to man up and quit whining? cool story bro

Don't feed the troll

lol @ a nurse telling guys to man up

Becoming a male nurse seems to be in vogue for bro culture at the moment. Have yet to figure out why though.



In other news the login seems to be working, at least for me, for now

For a while I did this to look like a fish so that others would sit down and start playing with me rather than skedaddle when they saw a full stack. The experiment failed--still had trouble getting games started--so I stopped.

Here's a rant for you. Today, I was the fourth player to join a table. Everyone had $200, so we're not talking fish, necessarily. And two of the players sat out, unwilling to play four handed. THIS is one reason why tables don't fill. A fifth player joined and insta-left.

Idiots.

Oooh, I'm impressed! But I'm in a fetal position...

You probably don't remember when they didn't routinely spread NL Holdem at casinos.

This constantly happens to me at 200/400nl.

This morning I waited about 10 minutes by myself at a 400nl table as people joined and left every 30 seconds or so. Finally I had a short stack fish join my 400 table and play right away. We had a full table (9max) in less than 2 minutes, no exaggeration. People just need to be willing to play an orbit or two short and tables fill, especially early in the day when there aren't many running.

any one else notice that literally NONE of the tournaments in the last few days have met the GTD? that cant be good...

yeh tournies didnt meet guarantee, and 100 zone at 9 pm central on friday night..doesnt even have 50 ppl
