I doubt it to be honest. The majority of their money is not even made from poker. I would be surprised if they did fall.

Ask yourself this, why would a company about to go under continue to cash players out at lighting speed?

If I had to guess, based on your tone, you hit some variance and tilt spewed a few buyins. But easier to blame to site.

Are all low micro NL STT games equal or is there one or two that should be "prefered" over another..
specifically I am looking at the $3.30 triple up, $4.40 beginner, $5.50 regular?

As a developing player should I focus on one of these? play all? each has a different feel and play differently.

Apologies in advance for grunching and not doing my own homework. I just want to make an acct and figure asking here is easier:

-Is there rakeback, deposit, reload bonuses?
-Can you deposit with a regular credit card or PayPal?
-Does PokerTracker/HUDs work?

Just looking for some help getting started, don't want to screw myself by signing up sub-optimally as I have so many times in the past. I'd also be happy to let someone refer me if there is a bonus involved in that.

Thanks for any help.

Ahoy! I'm Chops, and I'm kind of a newbie around here. I had a few questions regarding staking possibilities on Bovada.

So, I've been playing live poker for several years, and within the last 6 months or so have become acclimated to online poker. I have consistent good results in live cash games, and typically cash in most tournaments that I enter.

Being an American player located outside of the borders of New Jersey and Nevada respectively, I have the unfortunate stigma of being relegated to playing on Bovada.

The reason I'm posting today is to get a consensus on the possibility of getting staked for SNGs / Cash Games (1-2 NLH, 3-6 NLH) on Bovada. Through my research, it seems that this is unlikely since Bovada maintains absolute anonymity amongst it's players, thereby eliminating any kind of tracking software (HUD), and making it difficult to provide performance data to potential backers to determine if you're a worthwhile investment.

Has anyone ever been staked to play Bovada tables? Is this a silly notion? Your comments / advice are appreciated!

Will be very hard to find backing for any limits, considering there are no player-2-player transfers. And as you mentioned anonymous tables.

I think they have some sort of bonus for reloading. They accept most debit cards and visa gift cards--I do not think credit cards or paypal is accepted, but not 100%. Also fairly certain PokerTracker does not work, but TournamentIndicator does run fine. Bovada is the clear best option for U.S. players---biggest guarantees and quickest cashouts (typically one week to receive a check after requesting)
