[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread
This thread is to separate the Bovada-related comments and questions from the Official Bodog Support Thread, which is there only for questions or concerns about anything Bodog-branded.
There is no official Bovada Rep at 2+2 at this time, but perhaps if discussion is effected in a civil manner, one might arrive in due course?
Thank you.

yes you will have to send ID
I was looking for an online poker room that doesn't require me to show my id and I came across ignition.
I signed up and did the phone number verification, but before depositing on the site I wanted to be sure that I will be able to withdraw without showing my id, because from what I saw online they could ask for the identification but if they do you would find it in your inbox on the site.
If you have any experience with the site I would like to hear from you.
Any site with decent traffic will require ID for withdrawal
Do the bots mix limps, 2x and 2.5x raises on the button HU?
Hey, how's collusion/bot situation currently at nl500 and nl1k? Haven't played at all since December last year. Is it unplayable ?
No they do not limp from what I've seen. They are harder to spot HU since there either is multiple profiles or they got updated. I agree with pontylad though that they do mix 2 , 2.5x and 3x. There is either a big influx of regs or updated bots that are now opening either 2.2 or 2.3 at 2k specifically in both 6max and HU.
In general I would argue that the bots were updated way more times in the last 2 months or so than they were for a long time.
Hi.
Does anyone know how to deal with an Out of Date file for Ignition Hand Grabber for HE3?
Can't get a HUD up.
Thanks!
Play normal speed short handed. Tank in every spot HU. Love it....

Interesting considering it's the same company that make the bots on bonition. Think I have underestimated how high their winrates are vs other regs.
GG guys, it's been fun. I may check out ignition again in future but I am finished with it right now. I honestly do not think the games are beatable unless being crazily selective with tables. GL to any of you who continue to grind it.
They've done nothing about it and it's only getting worse. Also done with Ignition, don't expect the poker side to be around for much longer.

Man, this is just so sad to hear. It's crazy that we're at the point where ACR is the preferred site for Americans now.
Options are quite limited.... all the scandals with ACR + global poker + ignition, what other options are there? Chico had a bunch of bots in the past, but I think those are cleared up but they have pretty ridiculous rake. I'm not sure what the traffic is looking like there for midstakes+ either.

I feel disgusting for even saying this. But play live. ACR is still just as bad as Bodog, even with their recent clean up and bans and ****. They will never be able to keep up.
I'm gonna go shower now.
I wish I had the option to play live. Closest casino is a 3.5 hour drive.

Yeah it's brutal. Not even sure ACR is the answer but it's hilarious to think that Iggy has gone from probably the softest site in the world to one of the hardest.
I think people are vastly underestimating how good the bots are (which I guess should be obvious if they're also sharing cards). I imagine with ultra table selecting they can still be beaten but probably just not worth it.
I've stopped grinding low stakes zone as well. Maybe possible to generate a bit of EV there still but it's tough. I have been winning for a decade +.
What stakes do you think bots/collusion start to become a serious problem?
Well....... I wanted to play, but I guess now I have to buy the domain.
Update: its back up after about 10 attempts.

but but the bots can just be exploited! /s
Sad times, and its happening at all the stakes even micro so the whole eco system is stuffed. battling bots with 15bb rake at micro is a waste of time.

Micros as a whole is a waste of time and a miserable experience. Micros players aren't true gamblers. Mostly they are just a bunch of bad supernit regs and bots. (Refering to 10NL and below)
It would be quicker for a 10NL reg to go work part time at Mcdonalds and save 100% of that money for 1 month and skip to 50NL.
Are the bots bad for tournaments too?
Here is what bugs me most about the site. I have a regular job and want to play a tournament or three at night, say 9 or 10 pm start. All their damn tournaments have late registration lasting forever so you'd be up to the crack of dawn if you signed up. They should have at least one tournament at night that doesn't have registration going on for multiple hours. I just deposited and am taking money off because no tourneys I can play.

Yeah Iggy's MTTs are not to be desired in any way. There are too few and all of what they do have is crazy long late reg. There are virtually no turbos.
