    AVOID Bovada

    Engine is nowhere near random. Online poker for those not good enough to play real poker anyway. What a fuckin joke Bovada is.

    losing to 2 outers on the river multiple times for half my stack in a tourny is almost expected. Never again for me. Wish I lived closer than 3 hours to a casino

    That's because it's a rigged fuk'in scam just like this place. No different than any other software that can manipulated. Why do you think so many non pros win here all the fuk'in time? Because it doesn't cost SBR shit to let someone with worthless points win.

    Mike....why are you so angry? If something made me this mad, I'd avoid it in my life. Are you one of those people who love misery?

    Every time I see you post you are either arguing with someone or complaining how the site is rigged. Do you really need this in your life?

    "AVOID Bovada"???? really? are you sure???? come on now, that's like yelling out "AVOID HERPES!!!!" or "AVOID THE CLAP""", or "AVOID COMPTON AFTER DARK!!!" Anyone with a brain knows bovada is a rigged p o s site that will finagle all of your initial deposit and subsequent winnings, after first letting you run good, say for a month or so, and then lowering the hammer on u.......

    Seriously dude, go fuk yourself! Are you mr. fuk'in psyche major now? I'm not angry about shit, I personally could give a rats ass and was making a statement and adding my input of truth to the thread. Everybody here argues or debates about something. And every post I write isn't arguing or complaining, but thanks for following all of them you fuk'in troll. If you're too fuk'in stupid to realize that online poker is a fuk'in scam, especially at blowvada, then maybe your dumb fuk'in texas ass should just shut the fuk up.

    There's a difference between collusion and the deck being "rigged".

    Although I have no actual proof of it, collusion does happen online.

    I do, however, have 10 years of history on Bovada and can say fairly confidently that the deck is not rigged.

    Agreed. I used to track all of my play online and was up thousands at multiple sites until it all went to hell and the feds shut a lot of sites down. I can play a little.

    At Bovada I see the most ridiculous beats. Obviously they happen; however, it's gotten to the point where I can literally predict what miracle card is going to hit.

    Usually the same player will continually suck out on me until he has all my chips. I'm talking like three suckouts on all-ins in one tournament. That always shove with crap, go all in with gut shots, or hit runner runner to win. It's really ridiculous.

    The worst part is that they don't even call or go in with any hand at all. Example, I have pocket aces and raise. Some a-hole re-raises. I shove. He calls me all in with ace 4. The flop comes 2, 3, 5 and he hits a straight....or which happens a lot....he has a heart in his hand and four hearts hit the board so he hits a flush. Regardless, I'll lose a hand like that way more than I should.

    That example isn't even the worst type of beat either. People go all in after the flop with like mid pair a lot and some how pull it out by hitting runner runner all the time.

    Definitely not random. I don't know how many times I raise with a pocket pair, hit trips on the flop, then some idiot goes all in with mid-pair when he has like queen 7 and pairs his 7 on the flop.

    Idiot usually turns two pair on the turn, and then rivers a boat after making a horrible call pre-flop and shoving all-in dominated after seeing the flop.

    Whenever someone does this to me the same guy always ends up sucking out on me again.

    Bodog/Bovada is not rigged. Its just the nature of poker. I have lost hundreds of dollars the same way online as I have as in Commerce casino which is a replica of how bovada players play. A lot of gamblers on that site I love it because of it but the up and down swings you will have there will be greater but when you are coming up the up swing is huge because of the players there. Bovada is worldwide so you are getting a lot more bad players.

    If you want less swings and more standard poker players then play sportsbook. Everyone has a name and you will get to know the players of that site and how they play. Its US only so no donkeys making the pots huge.

    I personally prefer Bovada cuz i think its easier and faster money but it is a emotional rollercoaster when you get a suck out...

    Suck outs are part of the game and happen a lot more online cuz your playing 10x more hands then in real life

    And yet you think it's "fine" because they discovered collusion and they credited you just to make it seem how honest they are and keep you playing. That fuk'in suck ass site is more rigged that a Russian soccer game, and every fuk'in one of those are rigged!

    I just started playing there this week, no complaints so far.

    Question: If you write notes on somebody, does it save them until you play them again, or are they only temporary?

    the note are useless. I stop playing there again Giant , because of my bad performance in PLO , where I lost all my profits.
    My experience is that I was vey profitable 2 years ago, not today unless I play only sng and .50 1 where you can make a decent profit, but after earning 3200 points I have a lost o 170 out of my original 200 deposit, but i was as high as700.
    I did make some early profits during the first sessions , however, it seems like I was working for he company rake 96% f the time.
