Bodog games have been super fishy since going to anonymous. Like, I've never seen as many ridiculous punts at 2/4 and 3/6 in such a span of several days. The only drawback is that variance has increased since I can't game select quite as well as before and the games are so LAGgy (so many people like to just pot/pot/pot).

I would think this all is to your advantage, because you're good at poker and not just a hudbot.

I read that people can go rat hole and instantly come back to the same table with less on the table which doesn't sound good.

K. Just wanted to make sure my line made sense.

Oh, it certainly won't hurt me as much as it hurts some others in that regard, but it does suck to lose note-taking ability. It increases the variance and technically decreases the winrate...but the games have been ridiculously fishy the past few days. For example, I was playing a guy HU at 2/4 last night...I raised JcTc to $12, he 3-bets to $36, I call...flop 654cc...he bets $55, I ship him in for like $160 more, he calls...I think, "Time to get lucky,"...he shows Th8h. LOL. And honestly, that's just one of many ridiculous examples. I've also seen different people shipping 100bb into 5bb pots...at least a dozen times.

Yeah, that is something that people are worried about. Honestly, I haven't suspected it much yet though.

You mean manually convert (like I used to) since hand grabbing no longer works?

So, I hate to say this, but with the 2+2 regs abandoning the site in droves, fish action at mid-stakes is fairly easy to come by (even at non-peak hours)...and it's very fishy. I'd never tell them that over at 2+2.Basically Bodog's "plan" is working...it just happens to be at the expense of opening the botting and collusion gates. =/ I do feel that I can probably not personally worry too much about those issues since I mostly play HU, and this might be arrogant, but I think I still have an edge even factoring them in. I do suppose they could tangentially hurt me by hurting the player pool.

[QED]

Isn't the suggestion that Bodog want all the regs gone anyway so this is just working in thier favour?

[Ninja Ace]

****ing regs, generating tons of money in rake for me, GTFO!

Correct.

Well, the conspiracy theories abound. One is that they're trying to diminish the poker room to keep the DOJ away. Another is that they're trying to destroy the poker room to make sure people lose their money in the casino and on sports.

[QED]

Yeah, generating rake is only a concern if you don't have other ways to get all of peoples deposits. People that withdraw suck for them, they want you to lose it all to them on sports or whatever.

Pretty sure I wanna puke. T8 v 99 on 976 board for like a $900 pot at 1/3. We run it twice, and he binks the river both times. This is all.

[SuperJon]

Pretty sure I did puke last night, but that was likely due to my first time drinking in over a year.Sorry to hear that though Eddie, that's gotta really hurt.

[KingJames]

ugh, grosscondolences

[XXEddie]

I was honestly surprised I didn't punch something.... Not exactly because of the beat, yeah that sucked, but because everybody at the table felt it was necessary to remind me how 'sick' it was. "Dude, man... That's really sick""Yes, I know, I was there.""But, dude, you aren't suppose to lose both of them..that's gotta be like a 1 in 10 shot""Go **** a landmine"

[KingJames]

Played for a few hours today: games were great but I ran/played awfully at the beginning. Lost 3 pennies which is lol, but I was starting to lose focus and this Army Navy game is pretty good so I'm going to watch that and maybe play more later.lol regs:

[XXEddie]

LOL @ his river call. Unless you have a history of floating him I don't see what he beats.
