That's kind of like asking ,"daddy what kind of ice cream should I get, chocolate or vanilla?" They can only be used for one thing- various tourneys- and whichever tourney best suits your game/situation is obv the way to go.

I like vanilla, now make sure you share w your sister.

Collusion in the higher stakes triple-ups are blatantly obvious and rampant.

Peace huh...that wasn't very peaceful. Seemed a little combative to me. Do me a favor since you have all the time on your hands and post us all your e=mc2 scatter plots on how the games are fair to help put all our minds at ease...Peace.

I requested a check for $1,000 on June 18, it was approved the same day and check in hand June 23. I just deposited today so will post when it clears.

Bovada blows ***officially*** save your money

there is a separate thread for this, but you really don't need to post unless you have problems.

4 tables max
No rakeback
Pretty lousy promos

BUT, they don't steal your money and you can cash out. Not a grinder's paradise, but it is at least a viable option for US players. Pretty difficult to put in real volume though.

Bovada is simply leading the horse race right now.

Unfortunately the horse is racing against poodles right now.

since there are anonymous tables I have noticed in some cases that there is possible collusion going on in my sngs. I am wondering how I am supposed to report them and also am wondering what bovada is going to combat this situation since I cant give out a screen name.

First, email Bovada with the hand number, SNG number, player number and the suspected collusion activity. Next, wait 24 hours and download the hands and go through them yourself to see the hole cards of all players.

I've only been on bovada 4 weeks or so, but I believe you can go back and view every hand including all your opponents. Unfortunately I can't tell you how.

i didnt know this was possible but thank you for the help and I feel we all should do this if we suspect collusion. I know its hard and time consuming but its virtually the only way.

If it is blatant, as you say, you will be able to see it. If you have clear proof, I'm sure bovada will investigate and you will be compensated.

Anyone cash out recently??? Usually it takes me 3 weeks to get a check... I cashed out may 30th and still havent got it yet. Getting a little nervous

Does Bovada have an android supported program so I can play on my Note 2? What about web-based poker? I've heard about it but can't seem to find it on their site.

I have played poker for 4 years now and done well and bad and understand everything to do with variance and I can handle it b/c i could care less about the money. but there is still dignity.

With bovada there is no profitable way to play the sng's, cash or HU. MTT's there is always money but you have to bink a big one and play SICK bankroll management if you don't you will loose terribly.

I actually made a good amount of money playing HU plo and withdrew money(will get back to this later). I got the check in 2 weeks that was fine but it was from f'in XXXX and I had to deal with a million questions from my bank about it.

Since I withdrew my check I could not win consistently on the site anymore. All the money I made playing HU I lost and could not win any big pots when all in...maybe one here and there.

I did recognize some major patterns in the Bovada system tho, if you win a big pot in sick fashion(suck out , fishing etc. etc.) DO NOT PLAY THE NEXT COUPLE OF HANDS, you will be dealt strong hands and you will lose and terrible fashion and lose most of your stack. Also visa versa, if you lose a big pot play the next hand PRACTICALLY NO MATTER WHAT YOU WILL WIN THAT HAND.

I took advantage of this many times and this is how I initially made money, that and actually playing well. Since then I cannot win consistently and have almost deposited the same amount that I withdrew(no bueno).

It is to my understanding that with the flaw in playing back to back hands and consistent loses after withdrawals that the site is set up so that you break even and continue to pay rake and do not withdrawal often. If you are a degenerate and do not mind consistently loosing money feel free to play on bovada but if you actually want to play poker for the love of the sport and winning money than do not play on this crappy site.

-Anonymous tables WTF!?!?

All in all I am never playing on Bovada again, i would rather not play poker than make that company money and waste my time, but I am still walking away up a couple hundred dollars.


-FU BOVADA

Heist,

It's pretty well documented about the Bovada cashout curse. Nobody has ever cashed out more than once. Do your research next time. At least now you know.

Yup Cashed out 4k n the last 3 weeks through western union now i cant win **** and have deposited over 900 back onto the site. I give up ive bubbled like 20 tournies and have been badbeat over 600 times n the last 2 weeks I play 8 hours a day. I think ill wait a couple of months before playing on here or play on someone elses account.

Btw Last year i made 30k on this site this year its just brutal total profit after deposits and cashouts is like 100 dollars in 6 months over 4k badbeats in this timeframe.. Unreal..

I dont know about the rest of you guys, but this is enough to convince me its rigged.

I couldn't agree more, well said!

my bovada account was added with $45 out of the blue.

Is this a bonus or something. It doesn't show in my email or messages. Cant find it anywhere. Anybody have this happen to them?

It appears they changed how it handles blinding out absent players. It used to just fold them when they're all in, but now it deals the player a hand and plays it out.

Look at their poker promotion page in the upcoming days.

damn, bovada sounds funny. i may put $500 on and I have no clue what to expect, sounds like i may lose most of it due to disconnections and table freezes

If you post this gibberish, you do not have dignity. Lots of people are laughing at you. So there's that.
