Hi LP,

Finishing up my last semester of school. Only 2 classes, so i had a lot of free time. Decided to put 100 into bovada and started playing .5/.10 just to get a feel of the platform.

kept randomly shoving all in since if you try and type in your bets, a lot of times you'll type to the left of the decimal, so you'll randomly jam more than your stack.

anyway immediately moved to .1/.25 and so far it's been super soft. played maybe 2-3 hours for the past 3 days. i've been spewing a buy in every session, so i guess the outlook looks great.

anyway was wondering:

1) is there a hand history converter to put into heM?

2) is there any rakeback promos? i'm getting murdered with up to 3 dollar rake. really makes me miss ftp/ps where the cap iirc was .5

3) does anyone know the probability of hitting an Axx or better on the flop with Ax?

1) Yes. Use hand Bovada hand converter, ~$15. Converts to HEM or PT, can convert Zone as well.

2) No rakeback unless you were grandfathered in from Bodog. Just make sure you Opt-In for the monthly promotions, just go to Bovada.lv, go to poker, go to promotions, and press opt in on the promo page. I've noticed the promos have gotten shitter and shittier in the past year, like they used to give you $50 a week that was super easy to unlock, but generally it's not as much anymore.

3) No, but you can use flopzilla or I'm sure theres online calculators.

Also, save your poker points for the $5000 pts freeroll (1000 pts buyin). Definitely the best value you can get out of the points. There's 4 freerolls a month, alternating between normal and turbo each week.

it's awesome to go back in time with HEM and look at all the non-showdown pots you won/lost and see the batshit crazy play at micros lol.

bye now
