Anyone having more issues than normal recently with the random table disconnect?

In the past, every once and a while, one table of the 4 tables would disconnect while the others worked without a problem. But, in the last week it has been very frequent.

It's weird though, because my credit cards have always worked in the past. I understand having to do that if my credit cards had never worked before. But it's weird that they have always worked, and now all of a sudden they quit working.

Anyone know which file I would edit to change the default size of a Bovada table? Thanks.

I have basically the same question as well. I did e-mail the B-Dog support guy on here about it just now but I'd like to ask here as well. I recomended someone to Bovada and am going to be giving that person lessons on my account at their place in a few days. I'm gonna make sure he's not logged in while I'm there so that I'm not accussed of multi accounting or collusion. He's not playing at the same levels as me anyway so I don't think it'll be a problem but does anyone think it's a bad idea? I don't want to be accussed of cheating or something and have my account seized or something like that. Thanks guys

Forgot my other question. Does anyone save their poker points for anything other than tournament ticket conversions? Don't know if I should be saving them for a month where they might allow you to turn them into cash instead of tickets. Just started playing on Bovada again after a few years and I remember back in the Bodog days you could convert your points to cash some months. So does anyone know about poker points to cash conversions being available the past year or so??? Thanks again guys

I wonder when the $7500 freeroll became $5000... Wonder if it's still the best thing to spend my points on...

I believe the 7.5k was twice a month, the 5k is every week. I think this week is when they made the change.

Apparently its the only way my account can deposit. No online transfers according to CS phone support. Only Cash in person/Phone Credit Card is allowed via WU. My bank has WU built into online banking but i'm concerned it will not work.

If I remember correctly it's in the terms and conditions that you can play your roommate's account but can not create another account. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, going by memory of someone else's several month old 2+2 post.

I thought there was only a 5k twice a month, but looking at the sched I also see a 5k turbo on the 15th. Wonder how often that one is.

5k runs every week, alternating each week b/t turbo and regular.

Has anyone tried to deposit using greendot visa cards? I bought one from local CVS but it got declined. Slightly annoyed cause now I have electronic money that I have no other use for. I don't want to buy **** off amazon.

You can use that card at any store a Visa card is accepted so you still can access that money locally.

I think I read when registering the card that they mail a new card with my name on it after a week or so. Is this how you got yours? I'm gonna call CS and see what they say if not I'll just wait for the legit card and try again. Thx polo.

Using placemint, anybody know what size to make the slot templates for cash games and the lobby on bovada so that the tables are not blurry or distorted?

Some ppl like to track their progress for record keeping/tax reasons. Some people like to analyze their own game for self improvement. Some people like to track their play to determine if they're getting a fair deal.

So yes, some people feel like there is a point to be able to input their hands into some type of tracking software even without the ability to do it instantly.

Okay!..now I really know I am behind. A few months ago HM and PT were not compatible with Bovada and people had to use holdemindicator. WTF..lol When did HM start working?
