I have been having disconnection issues all night! Join a HU match, play a few games and get disconnected. I have to shut down the Bovada client and restart everything!

I feel like I've been running bad too (all the usual: set%, losing premiums pre). Then I remember it's poker. At least I don't play PLO,

. (Feels like forever too cause you're 4-tabling lol)

Please no more derailing about bad beats and variance.

Well hopefully not a derail, but the site is getting new players from multiple other sites, which could lead one who has been in a groove to find themselves in with a new population of player skills.

There are also pros who talk about the game evolving. Wise up guys.

Thats just it, I don`t have down swings. On a weekly basis i profit very consistently and have for years. I play o8 mtts mostly and some o8 sngs which are extremely low variance. Right now I`m down for consecutive weeks after never even having a down week. I think some of it is new gamblers coming in and just turning things into a shove fest. But I have friends who are excellent o8 players as well that have struggled, it`s just weird. Not saying anything is rigged, but def something has changed, whether player makeup or what.. This is more than just normal variance.

Any reload bonuses right now?

Also, I don't have VISA card. Does anyone know of a good VISA card I can load and then ship to Bovada?

the probability of no colluders on bovada approaches zero. colluders existed and often succeeded on ftp & ps -- sites that had public SN's, public tracking statistics and employees dedicated to ensuring fairness. MTTs are your best bet.

I'd say short-handed PLO (and DoN SNGs) are your best bet. I found myself playing a 3-handed game last night until I realized it's got to be a horrible idea. I don't mind starting tables and playing HU, but 3-handed games make me very leery.

Agree. I meant "best bet" in terms of least likely to be victim of collusion. very suspect 3betting patterns at 6max PLO tables.
