Welcome to pokerowned and good luck to you...

how do you like bovada? how soft is their game these days? i've heard different stories.

[imnophd]

I like bovada, I think the software is sleek and pleasing to look at. There is no HUD, so that is a downer as someday I would like to make use of it during my play. They also give you a welcome bonus. To qualify for it you have to accumulate 50 point s in 60 days. Each time you post a blind or put money in a pot in a cash game you get .05 points and if you play a sit and go you get .30 points. I just barely cleared my bonus in time and I just got my $10 bonus on a $20 deposit. Had I accumulated more points I would have qualified for a bigger bonus, up to 100%.

I am finding the players at the 2/5 cent pretty difficult to play against. Having said that I should tell you I've only been playing for 6 months. I've read two of Skalansky's books and one by Negreanu and I also watch a ton of youtube tutorials. But as of right now I'm only up $1.30. I hope to soon get better to play better and hopefully beat the micros more often.

The action on the site is really slow during the morning and afternoon and then picks up around 5pm or so. So you can mulitable during those later hours but it might be too slow to mulitable in the morning as there aren't enough players to fill out the tables. The sit and gos seem to fill up fairly rapidly throught the day, so that is good.

Yeah bovada is not bad just wish it would be easier to deposit on bovada though

Well you finished 15th in your first game, look at it this way you weren't the first to go. WTG though on your first tourney and if you play the carbon games Ill see ya there. Good luck on the felts!

so mad at myself just played in my first freeroll at Lock and came in 4th. I received $2 and started playing the sit n go tourneys was having some good success at the 6 handed ones and building my BR and then I started playing the heads up sit n go tourneys and lost all my BR. Extremely upset man I just need to be smarter with my BR and I will be a very profitable poker player I just know it!
