[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread

Anyone that years ago lived through the craziness on the Merge Network between the parent company and the skins knows anything is possible. Cannibalism between skins definitely happens and there are times a skin can even outshine a parent or flagship.

As for MTTs, I don't play them, but often when someone mentions something missing from the schedule it is often because of scheduled maintenance or a special MTT series disrupting the regular schedule.

Wow that is strange. What happen to the old Mad Mondays on holidays too?
Last Monday holiday was at least $M weekend tourneys. I guess it's live poker time this weekend.

Yeah I think somehting is up at Bovada on the poker side. I have way too much $$$ on Bovada. I've been holding it there because of the volitility of BTC. I have had an incredible run there playing mtts 1-2 days a week while grinding a couple of the series. But, based on this development and recently having my account locked, it's time to move it all off which I'm doing now. (Quick note: I know Bovada CS take a lot of abuse, but I will say their chat suppport couldn't have been better. I was using email which did not go so well. I thought I had to be logged in to access chat, which I was obv mistaken) But I digress...

I think I would rather gamble on the future of BTC than the long term security of Bovada. I don't need any of this money now, it's just my poker roll, so I guess I'll take my chances. I'm aware that i could turn it into fiat but I don't feel like triggering that tax event.

yo could just take out usdt, which is 1$. or you can convert btc to usdt, can do all of this non kyc dont have to trigger anything

saw some ppl saying the bots/colluders gone. i played the other day, still 50 accounts regged the low roller with 5 seconds to go, but lots of them were dumb and maybe not cheaters and the new 15 second clock moves things much better getting to the bubble. i actually quit playing the 1kaire after being obv colluded against several times, but decidded to fire it up and the pre bubble/bubble was legit this time. also the 109 freezeout from reg close to bubble played much smoother and legit. it does feel better as far as flow of the mtt and getting to the money. as far as colusion im not so sure yet, FT the low roller with 2 high numbers( last 10 accounts to reg) and seems like they were gettin in some raises plays etc that goes against icm, on eachotehrs blinds (possibly colusion) gotta check the face up HH later today. Anyways, feels a little better with the update is what I am saying. Keeping my eyes open.

which player pool currently dont have access to 2knl?

Anyone on Bodog, IIRC. So I think LATM players and Canadians. AFAIK, only Iggy players have 2knl atm.

lol just checked this thread after some time...

laughing really hard at this guy bragging about being in a stable with 20+ other members openly like wtf, way to DISADVERTISE people joining up

carryon ya'll,

you gotta be ****in braindead to play on a site filled with stables and bots

Cashout to USDT (Tether), it's 1:1 to $

Every site has bots and stables in 2026. The only thing that is relevant is whether or not you beat the games.

I am a high stakes reg on Ignition who averages $100-150/hr PLAYING POKER. I don't offer coaching services or products to members outside the CFP. Working with most players would represent a significant drop in my hourly. I am just a member of a CFP -- not the owner. Our CFP doesn't even consider applicants who play <100nl and don't have at least 100 hours a month to grind. My motives have been continually misrepresented in this thread by people who are butthurt about people beating the bots. And if people don't want to discuss bots, or have me chime in with my opinion, stop bringing the subject up. Stop with the sneak disses. I am staying on topic.

I am here to network with other Ignition players, that's it. Even if I was actively trying to recruit people, most of you wouldn't qualify as potential members. I don't give two ****s about whether or not we ever work together in any capacity, commercially. However, it is simply wrong to say that Ignition isn't beatable "because of bots and stables". I know plenty of lonewolf regs, from Discord groups, that are still beating the games. If you aren't, that's because you lack the necessary skills/knowledge to do so. It's that simple. I know that's harsh, but that's reality.

Cashout to USDT (Tether), it's 1:1 to $[/QUOTE];

Yeah I just learned about that. I just head that it's a little more complicated as you have to make sure networks match or something like that....also its 2500$ per week max limit. i'd like to move a bit quicker but I guess I can mix some in.

I appreciate your insights, just Ignore the fans in this thread tbh.

I know it's specific knowledge so you might not want to share here, but I was wondering which opening sizes do you see bots trending towards on Ignition? Is it the sizes we might assume, or perhaps trending more counterintuitive?

I take it back, colluders are still alive and well in the thousandaire, had at least 3 of them at final table, big stack chip dumping to 2 smaller stacks, staying away again, cheating as ****s...

The thousandaire is where collusion will have the most value. I'd avoid that one no matter what. There's probably some sketchy stuff in the other tournaments, but they're good value overall still imo.

Thanks for the kind words.

There are at least two different types of bots. I lean towards there being more. Generally speaking, one of the bot types is very splashy and plays kind of like a fish. Weird RFIs, big donks on textures that make no sense, overlimp-back-raising, cold calling 3 bets, etc.

The other plays mainly nl500+ and, unless you really know what you're looking for, you'll just mistake them for a reg because they use very reggy RFIs like 2.5. I have to be a little careful of what I share, even though the probability of the bot devs reading this is close to zero, because we don't want them to know we know and adjust their patterns.

Agree, thats what i been saying, best tourney for colluding group.. i avoided it for months until i seen it get cancelled 2 days in a row for not meeting required players, im quitting it again..

Ive been beating the games too but even so if there are edges to be made we should not be encouraging players to play on a site where there is obvious collusions and bots. Players have many other options in which real poker is actually played.

The scam artist in here trying to tell you, "bad bots are good" is selling you fool's gold. A bad bot is simply several lines of code away from being an unbeatable good bot. The concentrated effort here, like any poker site from Poker Stars to the rest, should be to eradicate the cheats from the poker site. But there is a literal clown in here saying, "bad bots are good."

I'm frankly surprised that more people aren't reporting this hustler and telling this scam artist to get bent and out of this thread. But, I did notice that the scam artist, who has a November 2025 join date got a compliment today from an account with also a November 2025 join and only 3 total posts. Scam artist gonna scam artist.

I don't necessarily know that I would "encourage" anyone to play on Ignition, but, if they are beating the games, as you yourself are, as many regs still are, I think you have to consider it an option, right? I am just pushing back against this idea that bots are somehow "unbeatable" which just isn't the case (yet).

I have quite a few GG/ACR players in my network and none of them are averaging higher hourlies than Ignition players playing similar stakes (with the exception of a chosen few elite players). I mean, that's pretty important stuff even if the room is rife with bots, collusion, and RTA... which it is. Anyone denying that, including their support staff apparently, is in total denial.

Wow, so everything I said was correct and everything you said was predictably delusional and nearsighted as was previously stated. Who knew? Thanks for acting like you’re a voice of reason now.

No. They disappear when you close the table.

thanks for being a dck of all dckheads, it felt like colluders werent in it for a few tourneys, then i knew they were there for 1 tourney.. i was optimistic they were gone and said it's possible only, and after last night confirmed their still here.. no need to keep bashing people because thats what gets you up. look up your history of comments, all you do is post negative replies, get over yourself bruh

Does anyone know why 200k was cancelled Sunday and did the update work for anyone. I cant login and I figure this must be widespread. Im wondering if this is permanent?
