[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.

The irony of a dude from London, England who is presumably playing on a VPN complaining about collusion/teams is LOL
11/10 shamlessness

by tercet P

Well perhaps he did, but all of his lads knew about this site and asked me questions when I played with a bunch of them at the Hippodrome / Pokerstars casino in London back in 2015 lol

not sure what your problem is. I live in aus and am therefore allowed to play on ignition. And as for 'all my lads', what does this even mean? just because i'm a brit doesn't mean i have any affiliation to anyone you spoke to at the hippo in 2015 lol. you're just projecting your frustration onto me for no good reason.

i also think the biggest insult here is that you think i'd be dumb enough to post a hand here under my real alias if i was VPN'ing onto iggy lmfao


I've noticed some collusion creeping into 100nl.

Had a pair at my table the other night, first time I've noticed it.

But tons of cold 4betting almost always after player 6 3bets player 1 cold 4s.

And if one cold called behind the other would always follow suit.

And plenty of limp, small raise and after everyone in between calls the limper would always backraise big or jam.

Like who over limps in the SB after 3 people limped? And then the bb makes it lol 3bb.

Can’t even log on to Bovada Mobile.

Anyone else experiencing similar?


by newguyhere P

Haha I meant with a value hand like AA/KK/AK and regularly throughout the session and coincidentally everytime the bb makes some silly small raise when you have that hand you over limped with.


Another one to add to the list. p5 and p6 in a lot of pots together.


P5 goes for the the old cc/backraise with a quick snap off the A5. Obviously when looking at p4's range it's pretty easy to see what they are attempting here.


can they even win once they’re spotted?

alsowhy the hell is T3s overcalling at the end lol

oh wait i guess T3s is a huge whale, and A5 and 88 are the colluders

Nothing gets past you! J/K

Yeah, i was pretty suspicious before this hand, was fairly confident I was ahead here.

99% sure, I would imagine you could play terrible and still win if you are 2/3/4 players colluding.



Two guys with very reggy stats. Could be explained away somehow I suppose as the preflop decisions aren't quite as egregious as some other hands on here, but yea very cringe, very weird, etc. I emailed support and got cookie cutter responses of course. I'm not sure I really want to keep playing here atm.

the only suspicious thing about that hand is the overcall on the turn with 33, then after that its a pretty decent spot to bluff raise river both ranges looks weak AF also the sizing induces to raise.

but yeah suspicious but not quite as much as the others.

people playing NL500 here are you suspicious on something going on at your games or just NL1k-2k?

yea i agree its not as suspicious as some of the other hands, but also why is the big blind betting 2/3 on river w A6dd?


Thats a common line even on micro stakes on iggy. They turn pairs into bluffs even muti way. There is some odd stuff going on sometimes but like i said now we are seeing paranoia about every fishy hand.


Was grinding 200nl and a giga whale was at my table. He must have donated $4000 before leaving. I won about $1500 in about 100 hands. I went to withdraw the winnings since I never keep more than 5 BI on the site at any time.

I got this message:

"Hello,

They were investigating chip dumping but ultimately enabled my account after 24 hours.


So what no money to be made here anymore? Good times are over lol

that's standard procedure at every site when you win too much in too little time, #paranoia


I'm not even certain the 1k games are beatable at the moment (as well as collusion, game quality itself seems pretty bad). I've noticed less issues at 2k but maybe i'm missing it or they're just building their roll until can play 2k.

Regardless, I'm close to being done on iggy. The site/security don't care and you can't expect players to police collusion, all it means is the obvious players get removed but the subtler ones remain.


This is the sort of example that semi flies under the radar unless you are paying close attention (bar p5 and p6 playihg/iso'ing an absurd number of pots together). I'll see what p5 and p6 had in 24 hours i guess.

I think there are people colluding at nearly all 1k tables at present.

this IS happening at every table. 500-2k every day and every table bascially there is minimum 2 bots more like 3-4.

A6dd is kind of a perfect collusion bet 666 is one of the most likely calling hands so backraise 33 should guarantee profit

In 3handed games they show up with JJ+ here super often, seemingly almost never AK though. It's kinda laughable how they basically created their "own metagame". Backraising nuts, shoving AA pre, raising 100% of rivers multiway. You see it so often and it's litterally always bots doing these plays, so it makes you realise how big % of the players they are right now. It's very likely they are house bots at this point

Not for GG it seems 😃


I’ve seen quite a few updates on here regarding the state of the NL games, but no updates on PLO (I know there was widespread suspicion of collusion during the latter half of 2023).

I used to play 500-2k on the site as a decent winning player, but have since stopped playing those stakes due to my first hand observation of reduction in game quality, along with similar accounts from other players. I’ve recently been playing 200PLO and am getting rinsed there as well.

Totally willing to accept that I am just running bad or that the game has passed me by, but interested to hear thoughts from other PLO regs before jumping to conclusions. Feel free to DM me if you want to discuss.

I used to play PLO at iggy too as high as 200 , so not as high as you but have noticed/suspected collusion at 100 plo after playing this stake for awhile a couple of years ago..

really bizarre lines, junk hands from multiple players trying to push me out of pots, and multiple players sitting out at the same time and leaving at the same time... as well as odd bluffs that make zero sense with multiple players in pot that is out of the ordinary.

ive been playing plo for years and for the first time i strongly suspect bad faith play there at that time (even though i was beating 25 plo at a good clip, but it's 25 plo so who really cares)...so i refuse to play cash games online and stick mainly to tournaments if i do decide to tread these waters.

The funny thing is, i thought i was the only one thinking this (perhaps it was just my imagination), until i started to see these types of posts on here, so just thought i'd chime in.


I'm at 25nl and sometimes 50nl on Bovada. Feels like I've only seen 1 or 2 whales in the last 3-4 days.

Normally I'd get at least one with every other table I'd open.
