This has been completely std for everyone else. It stopped for alittle while but the other night they did a server change in the middle of play and then it started back again. You really have to sit at the tables with the understanding you might be disconnected during a big hand and you'll receive no compensation for it.

I thought I'd just like to let the TX/OK people know that i just deposited on Bovada with Eye Bee SEE Bank and it worked! Just did a $50 deposit.

Feels good to be playing again

I almost quit the site because of this issue.

I started using an ethernet cable to plug directly into my router (combined with the google DNS) and I have yet to be disconnected. This was at the suggestion of their technical support.

Hope it helps!

Are you sure? I would think that, however I asked and they said their end can tell if it was an online deposit?

Anyone ever do this?

You do realize that for that one fish that runs plays 65/45 and runs up a buyin or two and leaves after 55 hands (1 hour, not uncommon), there are probably 250 other fish who play same stats and lose. I play Mid/HSNL on Bovada but even at those limits I see it. Stop focusing on the guys who play bad and make a hand and focus on those same ones that play same style that lose.

Hey whatta ya know you just waisted a whole post to tell me to do something I already said I'm doing. Thx for your wonderful advice though genius. And wtf what if nobody had focused on PotRipper lol. You realize how ridiculous you sound telling players to dismiss signs that other players might be cheating? Get out of here with that bs. When it comes to my money my eyes are wide open.

Second there is a stark difference between fish and players me and others are noticing that play like they know what's coming and trap with perfect accuracy on hands before they make any sort of hand with random cards. I gave a perfect example. I'm up 43 buy ins this month...It's not going to stop me from playing. I just refuse to play pots with a player at a table as soon as I see him fold the btn-hj and then min raise utg with 47 off...call a 3 bet and flop trips stacking someone else with a big pair. I mean that's not what a fish does. If he's min raising 47o there he's playing all his other hands too. This will be a player that times all his hands perfectly just like that for 30-60 minutes and then leaves up a couple buy ins. I see all the time and I'm playing a ton. 2 other people have mentioned the same thing and if you haven't noticed it it's probably because you aren't paying attention. You just see the guy show a hand and write it off as a fish getting lucky without noticing he's only playing random junk hands when they hit.

It's whatever though. If I wasn't winning more than I do anywhere else I'd leave obviously.

Hi guys,

So I've been trying to sign onto bovada on one of my computers. I use XP and for some reason after typing my name and password, I click sign in and it just hanggs. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times. Same result. I've played with no problems on this computer since the beginning... weirdness. Any advice?

Scratch my issue. I should have searched more in depth. Found the answer in this thread. Cheers

So bodog keeps freezing on me, been in two pots where it just disconnects in the middle of the hand, when I log back in if I try to join any table it just freezes again. Uninstalling and Reinstalling has not fixed this. Anyone else getting the same problem?

I play on Bovada a lot and have no problems with this.

All you had to do was read the last page before you posted.

way too much drama ITT as of late. Time for a thread hug!

ive had some disconnects.... very frustrating

same

Every time I have depo'd with WU I have done it online. Bovada cannot tell the diff. I have never had a single problem with it.

FWIW, I play 15~20 hours a week, and can't remember one time where I've ever been disconnected (even just long enough to time out) when it wasn't the fault of my ISP or router.

did the hu cash games disappear from anyone else's lobby?

uncheck 'hide heads-up' at the top of the main lobby.

You are a miserable poster. What in the hell makes you think that Bovada has superusers playing 100NL?!? LOL @ you.

Also, I remember my first heater...

This isn't even worth a thoughtful response. This is as simple as requesting the HHs for those supposed fish and reviewing them for superuser ability! But you're right, all those fish playing 65/40 never win. In fact I've never seen on raise a 48o type hand and hit a flop. Shady.

Watch out who you're talking to, he's up 43 buy ins @ 100NL on Bovada...

Okay guys. In all honesty is anybody really beating the zone poker over a decent amount of hands? I am down after 10k (not a lot) hands and have adjusted my strat several times. Is anybody beating it? Im curious what people think of it and if it is worth the time.

What is the best way to deposit $4k on Bovada?

Since 25nl is the only thing that gets traffic on zone, I'd say not. I tried it for awhile, but just didn't satisfy me.

Is it beatable though? Sure.

Western Union or Money gram

optimal strategy has got to be different for zone then regular poker right, since it's anonymous. For instance normally we would 3 bet a lot more in a regular game to create action. Zone seems to be more like stack a donk poker, however without reads its hard to tell if your against a donk or a nit. Most of my good hands like a flopped set don't ever get payed off (since if I flop big someone else has to flop decent as well) and when I do pick up a fairly big hand overpair to board or TPTK people end up setting traps with bigger hands(i know overpair tptk are the weakest of hands to get in with). I'm only stacking off my AK tptk or my overpairs AA, KK if the pots where at least 3 bet preflop if not 4 bet and there are a variety of hands that I beat with which my opponents would get it in with.

In regular poker the strength of hand fulcrum I am willing to get it in with depends on the reads I can pick up on other players while following the action at the table, weather they are tight or loose. In zone Its hard to be confident about when your good and because you have no reads. This also makes bet sizing extremely difficult because in reg poker against certain players with a strong hand I would jamm all in to get max value anticipating a call while against tighter players I might just value bet a little (not knowing what type of player your up against really takes away a big edge)

Anybody have a link to some good zone strategy or have some thoughts?
