Cause your equity in 3 more tournies to win a seat that plays a tourney in the phillipines at a BI of ~30% of the package price will never be realized or is it worth it over straight cash early on (to most people).

Everyone is gunning for it.

Try making it to one of the final satties where the bubble gets over 5k in cash.

Lol I wanted the cash from the $44 one but we were fighting so hard for that $250. I better ship the vacation package on the 11th.

Someone already asked this and I'm curious too - has anyone analyzed what's the better value, using points for the freerolls, or to buy into one of the Sunday guarantees?

It's just a very strange promo. I don't know anyone who would rather not take 2-5k in cash than be forced to fly coach class halfway around the world for a 2k tournament. Shrug, maybe I'm old and jaded.

On this page, the grand prize draw winner does have the option of getting $2500 in cash. Not so for the satellite winners?

General thoughts on Bovada? Thinking about signing up.

What games run, stakes, cash out times/options, rakeback, ect?

Here's a trick that works for me no matter what the size of the slots. When you have a table in a slot, grab an edge of the table like you are going to re-size it and try to make the table smaller and let go. The text will change size and after a few tries (there is kind of a "feel" to it) it will be at its max.

Good ole bovadadog, finally a glitch I don't mind!

.

Thoughts?

It's really hit and miss. Some days are decent, but other days I'm just shocked and saddened that "this is what I'm paying full rake for."

Yes, wait for the permanent card and try again. The temporary card that you bought in the store does not allow international transactions -- which is what your deposit will be. Also, keep in mind that you'll be paying both Bovada and Greendot, two separate fees, for the international transaction.

Agreed. However, the brilliant decisions by merge and the lock situation has pushed a lot there too.

They are talking about running the bovada hands through a converter and importing those into PT or HEM for tracking progress only. Bovada is still not supported by those two.
