Anyone else not able to dl their zone hands? Everytime I click "download" it just flashes and then won't switch the hand history over to "download requested". It is downloading though, I think, as my ignition hand converter just reads them all as duplicates repeatedly yet never uploads the originals.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
i had the same thing , im fairly certain they are downloading when you hit download all just not showing it on the site.

Anyone getting that weird pop-up message about "not being able to process your action"? I'm getting it every four or five hands even though I'm just sitting there, not trying to rebuy or engage in any action whatsoever.

Anyone?

Wow. 6-handed ring game, preflop, pushed when a short stack went all in, everyone folds, and from that point it took literally two minutes to run out the rest of the board. Then it stalled for another thirty seconds after I won, and POOF! I am sitting out and all five other players have left the table (or been booted).

This is the epitome of ridiculous. Oh, mid hand, I got another of those "can not process your action" pop-ups just for fun.

I swear, this site is run by head-injury patients.

So I've noticed that whenever you get it allin the table crashes, or almost does. Whats really weird is that i had holdem indicator running and it showed the next hole cards I was dealt while the screen was still frozen on the previous allin. I thought HI used screen scraping technology to actually read the pixels on the board but apparently it's catching card data some other way, and that card data is being transmitted without rendering on the table. I dont know whats happening after that though, i usually have to close the table, so my guess is that I am timing out on the next hand since the screen is frozen.

This happened and only after winning did I realize how terrible the payout structure was. $5k pays top prize $850?!

Yeah the MM/WW payout structures are horrendous.

FWIW I haven't actually timed out like i used to since the new update. I have experienced lag, but I always get my full time bank when action makes it to me. It seems like they fixed the total lag outs or at least made it better. Maybe im just running good on discos.
Yeah this has been my experience so far too. I most play 2-5pm PST and 9pm+ PST though. I've only had a few sessions, but it seems better than before, but still needs work.

Why is it that some zone stakes run and others don't? (10nl ex)

HI hooks the windows and reads the window messages being sent to the window it is attached to. Given what you are seeing, it sounds like some of the Ignition problems may be that they are doing some things with the graphics that are not compatible with most video drivers and that freezes your screen. That could be the source of a lot of the freezes folks are seeing.

That would be just one potential problem, though. There are quite a few poorly programmed items in this client.

I wonder if bovada would convert my 20+2 tickets to 20+1 if I asked? Anyone else ever asked for something like this? Ive never understood why sites dont just award tournament dollars and allow you to reg whatever you want with your dollars. Whats the point of giving exact amount tickets?

they wont, from my experience they dont touch tickets. they recently ran a promo where you could receive 5 $22 tickets, i tried to convert the 5 $22 tickets into one $109 ticket and they said no.

yea thats the promo i have as well i was willing to take a loss on each ticket of 1 dollar as well. Why dont they just give tournament dollars and let you reg whatever you want? Im trying to figure out what they accomplish in this by forcing you into certain buyins?

I would agree Iggy and PaiWanLuo Poker have reduced value the MM\ WW MTT guarantees compare to two years ago on Bovada and Bodog network.

I remember T.J. Cloutier it not work playing 'medium to large field MTTs if the first place is less 50 times the size of the buyin.

THIS. It's SO tilting when you are multi tabling! I was playing 4 DoN's and it literally bars you from doing any action at all until you click ok, and ive tried everything, hitting the x, leaving it there, minimizing them, it literally locks all action until you click ok, and with four tables doing it at once, I was literally clicking ok CONSTANTLY for like 15 minutes. infuriating. At least its inconsistent though and doesn't happen every time I play only once in a while.

Just withdraw it using Bitcoin then when it hits your bank account withdraw it from the account and stash it.
This is not good advice. If you get audited you're screwed. If you use a bitcoin ATM, it does not use bank accounts at all and you can get cash only using a cell phone number, which you can use a pre-paid phone with data if you really wanted to be extra private.

from what ive seen, bitcoin atms charge ridiculous fees not to mention tax evasion is a felony.

What he is talking about is also tax evasion - why do you think he is recommending that you "withdraw it from the account and stash it"? it's just a version of tax evasion where you are way more likely to get caught. The ones i've seen buy your bitcoins at 93% of their value (7% fee on the coin price, not on the amount of money you are getting for selling the coins).

Even if you're using a bitcoin ATM card to hide your transactions you can still be audited and have to provide proof of finances going back for several years. If you suddenly go from using your normal ATM card 90% of the time and then this year you mysteriously put food on the table and pay your rent without touching your bank account the gov't will figure it out after looking at your bank statements. They wont know where the money is coming from but they sure as **** wont believe you've just been given charitable donations and paying for everything in cash.

I have a question for player who play sitngos hypers, triple ups or double ups. Which format is the most profitable I'm just trying to make 1-2k per month on the side. I'm stuck at the $7 triple up level and I have a hard time consitantly winning at the $15. I think I can beat the $10 double ups but how many games would I have to play to make 1-2k per month if it's even possible. If ignition would allow more tables at once then I think it would be possible. Or I could try and make 500 at the triple ups and another 500 at the double ups. I would love some feedback on this and any suggestions.

I dont think you can make 1-2k per month just playing on the side playing $10 double ups or $7 triple ups. You would need to be playing full time and be crushing those which seem like theyre heavily nit and bot infested these days. Your best bet would be to keep building your roll so you can play sng's $20 and above to have a shot at making the amount you desire especially if youre only playing part time

I hear what youre saying, but that's if its your sole income. To play devils advocate here, what if you havent used your ATM card in years, or rarely use it at all anyways? what if you only withdraw via bitcoin small amounts 500-1500, and never made any large purchases? What if you said you made the money pan handling every day, or playing a guitar somewhere busy where people made donations to you? How can they really prove anything?

If you are really good at the 10.5 Dons you might be able to average a 6.5% ROI so if you played 50 a day, 30 days a month you could make your 1000 dollars. It's best to get good at it and use some sort of modified Kelly management system. Play the 10's until you have a base roll of 400 then make 4 buyins to the 20's so now you have 480 and take a shot. If you dip below 400 go back to the 10's otherwise play 20's until you have 800 and add 4 buyins of the 50's above that so 1000 and take a shot again. Rinse and repeat. You could use 25-30 buy ins as your base if you are comfortable with that instead of my super conservative 40 buy in base. The 20's are as easy as the 10's. The fifties are easy as well, just a bit more aggressive. The easiest of all were the 135's which have been discontinued.
My Roi at the turbos was 5% at the 135's 6.5%. My biggest loss was 39 buy ins. I had roughly 10bi losses at some point in virtually every month. I did have one month where I won every single day

Thanks that's pretty solid information Im going to give this a go with a 40buyins. Ive played the 20s before did good for a month was up 20buyins then I hit a 20 buying downswing and stopped playing them after that and stuck with the triple ups but ill definitely give this a try at the $10 level.

5/10 NL. Raise 30 on the button, BB makes it 85 I made it 200, bb ships 1000. I call with AK he has 56 and rivers a 5. Did I just catch the worst/luckiest player ever or the Ignition employee of the month?
