That post is almost certainly a troll. I think at least one of those players is a twitch streamer too.

The post is ridiculous. It sounds like it was written by a handicapped 14 year old.

VegetablesArentYummy is an American and was the first 5 Star General/Icon (WPN Supernova Elite). He posts on Reddit and 2+2.
AironVega has been grinding WPN for over 10 years. He's complained about bots/scripts himself on 2+2.
BruhCringe is American. Very obviously not a bot from his playstyle.
FREDYBULLIT previously played on Stars and is the star of this amazing thread:

These guys are real players, and that post gave me secondhand embarrassment for whoever wrote it.

Cross posting this for everyone here who told me off for saying the bots are exploitative.
And yes I know this is ACR, but it’s pretty obviously the same group on ignition.

I would agree that the same bot farm that won $10 million from WPN is most likely still playing on Ignition, but the thread you linked is a joke.


yo what are you guys playing they said bovada is back


How do I change where (which folder) hands are downloaded to from the site to my computer? Thanks

how big of a bankroll do you need to play micro stakes bovada poker online guys?

Has anyone been playing Jackpot spins since they added the $50 tier? (also they changed the blind structure apparently)My last game was a $100 spin , we spun 15x(blue background), and I won. But the prizepool is listed as $600? This shouldn't be possible, right? Or am i missing something? Has ignition introduced a 6x blue multiplier for their jackpot games? Is this some weird

Weird side note. That color of blue is awesome. Why is this not a selectable felt color to play normal games?


i think i got ignition working on my iPad tablet and was able to play on the tablet it was pretty cool

For a "typical" winning player, it is something along the lines of 20 buyins, i.e. for $0.02-$0.05NL it would be about $100.

For the average, i.e., losing, player, no bankroll is big enough; you will go broke.

If you are playing for fun and have any sort of job beyond minimum wage, reloading $50 or $100 every so often is likely within your means. Compare it to a night out, dinner and a movie for two.

A detailed discussion of bankroll management is beyond the scope of this thread.


You don't need a bankroll if your goal is to have fun.

Im convinced theres a ton of bots on this site. I've been playing 0.5/1 (im poor, i know), and several players have been betting $2.5 preflop very quickly. However, theres no way to bet 2.5 without manually typing in 2.5. The bet options are in $1 and bb increments. To me, this screams bot behavior.


To me it screams "table manager," like Jurojin or Intuitive Tables.


So 15% of 0.5/1 players are using paid multi-tabling software?

You can click pot, then subtract 1bb

At 100nl, I would be surprised if it’s only 15%.

there's custom sizes now but so you can just single click your preferred open size, but regs have been "quickly" opening to 2.5 for several years.

Probably closer to 75%.

I’d be shocked if half the pool isn’t tbh.


anyone know why the recreational players are always lagging out? I swear its like every day where some rec short stack is disconnecting.

Happens to me a couple of times a week and I'm a reg, very frustrating.

My guess is 1 tabling a mobile device


Ignition trying not to pay me stating I had an old account after accepting my deposit and playing through 3k of bonus play to unlock funds then after running up to almost 1k was told about a bogus old account with an email I've never had in my life. So they say send documents wich I sent like asked initiate live chate to be told 24/48 hours I'll be contacted. But was also told the verification department is on it and already scheduled a call back in. Assuming that means another excuse to not unlock my account or ky funds


the allin button switching to time bank button when it's activated feels like im being pranked


Count your blessings; it could be the other way around.


Used to grind 25NL back in the day on Absolute. Ran up a free $40 to over $1000 playing micro stakes starting at 2NL. Right when I moved up to 50NL Black Friday happened. I somehow got all my winnings back (check in the mail) in 2018 which I honestly never thought I'd see. Restored my faith in humanity (somewhat)

Getting back into it starting with 5NL. Deposited around $200 to begin at 10NL, but Blockchain hit me with a $33 fee. Not using that anymore. Got a bonus or whatever, but I'm still not sure how it works. Is it that you play enough to unlock the bonus, and then your original deposit + any earnings are also unlocked?

The other question I had was about withdrawing. Once you send funds from Ignition to something like Litecoin, where does the money have to go before it hits your bank account or cash app? I'm a bit of a noob here.

Also, are people having any issues withdrawing? I did a bunch of research before depositing and it was either BetOnline or Ignition due to the soft games. What are people's current thoughts on Ignition? BetOnline? Should I play somewhere else? Is it trustworthy? Is online poker just dead? Genuinely curious to hear thoughts.

Yesterday I had my first session. A bit of bad luck, down a buy in but my EV bb/100 was 5.2. Using DriveHud. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Usually at least a fish or 2 on each table.

Anyway, thanks for reading!!
