For sure.

Last week, I shoved on top of someone's open, and was called out of the BB and the opener called. The opener had AK, I had JJ and we both lost out by the BB who called off 25ish BB with... QTo.

Later, someone opened and I shoved. He snap called w/ K8s and knocked me out.

Very soft tournament for the buy in.

^Bodog_Ice (their rep) responds there regularly, this is mostly for people to just discuss stuff.

If you have a suggestion or problem, post there. It's "official" meaning it is posted by the company.

thanks. there was a thread in the old days too with another 2p2'r who acted as rep. most of the stuff we suggested never happened. on the other hand, bovada has obviously grown since they implemented all their crazy changes, so maybe they know best.

They do know best. So much of the stuff 2p2 suggests never happens.

Also, the other one is a network-wide (Bodog) support thread. They generally can't help you with stuff pertaining to your particular skin (Bovada), like deposit/withdraw issues.

Going to play both of these as well, seems like solid value.

The biggest thing that seems ldo, but could be a significant software challenge for them, is synchronized breaks for tourneys.

It's not a challenge, they just don't want synced breaks. Pre-make some food, get a piss bottle, and don't worry about missing a few hands.

I'm an MTT grinder, so if I manage to take a ton of time on it, I'm happier and more focused than ever (I mean, how can making a huge FT NOT re-energize you.)

(And I just bought an espresso machine, just in case that's not enough )

It won't be 13 hours, more like 9-10. Coffee and weed ftw!

Maybe the $109, but not the $162. Say 1600 players (240K prize pool). That means 8 million chips on the table. At the end of the 10th hour, blinds are only 15K/30K. That means people are going to be 100bb deep (assuming they've gotten to the final few players by that point). Maybe I'm wrong, and that's typical, just wouldn't seem like it to me.

The blind levels are longer today then normal for the 200k. If you Final table it I would guess 13 hours.

I'm such a deposit pro on Bovada, love that 4.9% extra all day! Gearing up for more torture in the 200k & 100k.

Is anyone able to import the Bovada converted hands into Poker Tracker (or Holdem Manager) and get the replay hands to show all the hole cards? I'm having problems with it, looks like the converted hands don't carry over the revealed hole cards when they get converted to be imported. Thanks

I want to make a compilation video of the hundreds of hands with pocket aces, and the whole table folds before the flop. Not saying it's rigged...but I must have cursed out the wrong universal entity at some point....

In your replayer click "show all known whole cards"

Ah, thought it was 15 mins. Could be closer to 13. It's usually about 10.

Anyone else really confused why the $109 $100K is the ME and not the $162 $200K? Not that a title makes a difference, I just found it odd.

Ha I kinda thought the same but there are plenty of bigger buy in tournies than the Main Event at WSOP.
