What is up with this $600 mark i can't pass. Last night i got to 670 then bounced back down to 600. Woke up this morning got my 40 bonus had 640. Then i play 4 tables within 20 mins back down to 600. I mean really what is the deal as if its rigged for good players to only reach 600 and no more. I'm losing my mind what a pos anyone else is this same boat. I'm gonna start betting sports or something just spinning my wheels on the site. BTW the hi low split games r hard to show a profit in 6 max limit holdem low stakes is the softest. The tournaments seem pretty legit. But in cash games its like if u have 600 or more in your account your rigged to lose and show no profit. I'm thinking of cashing out my 600 and starting over. But 600 dont really seem worth it.

I saw commercial software for sale, but just want to post the occasional hh for review without spending money.

When I look at my hh in the client, it doesn't seem to allow me to hilight and copy the info.

I guess i'll keep grinding it out. If i get past 600 and see 700 in my account it's gonna be a holiday for me because i been stuck here for 2 months. So your saying there's a chance...? Sweet I guess i'll continue wasting my life grinding it out in hopes of breaking this 600 curse.

I can't figure now out if you're rolling your eyes at yourself, the post you quoted, or Bovada.

I'm pretty sure everyone cashing out 4-digit checks in the cashout thread should be evidence enough for you.

And winning players especially should be careful to go to a site where your skill set can not be leveraged other places. I've been honing my online and live game for years and I can easily play at a casino, PokerStars, FullTilt, Carbon, and win anywhere that we're playing poker. I'm not saying players can't win at Bovada or that they aren't some skills to help them, but I personally wouldn't want to invest my time and energy into something that's not applicable anywhere else.

Even though I may not know people at a table in a live setting, I still can take notes on them either in my head or on my cellphone. When they get up and are replaced with a new player, I know the new player is different than the old player in seat 6. The player who left may sit at the same table with me tomorrow and the notes I have from yesterday are still valid.

At the very least, I should have the ability to take notes on a player, give them my own name, and then when they come back, my notes should come back with them. If not, we ain't playing poker. We're playing a long handed variant of Rush.

Anonymity in poker should be limited to a point for two obvious reasons:

1) You need reads in poker to be poker
2) You need to have the ability to detect cheating and collusion. I don't know if any of the major cheating scandals would have been uncovered had they used Bovada's model.

I don't play 24 tables. I play 5 to 6. I'd be content playing 4 if I could take notes on the players I'm playing against and get reads and have table dynamics. I'm of the opinion you can't get that at all on Bovada using their current model. I don't think you can get it in Rush poker either.

Like I said, if you like it, I'm not trying to convince you to leave. I'm just stating why I'm reluctant to jump in the pool. My opinion is no less valid. No need to get your feelings hurt.
wtf about a bunch of dildos playign 24 tables using software to track games, seat them, pick bet sizes etc is actually poker?

If you aren't playing the $50DONs on Bovada you are crazy. They are softer than 20s. Everyone should change their game to DON6T. Even a newbie with halfway decent poker understanding could crush the game easy.

I think I got one, but there is some requirement that it has to played a large number of times before it becomes real money. I took it to mean that it's almost certain to whittle down to zero due to -EV, especially if the winnings all have to be gambled a certain number of times as well.

I forget the action exactly, but I do remember being pretty shocked when villain showed KK with K on the flop. It wasn't even that much money because he played it so passively.
