Hello!
First time posting.
had a question about Bovada. Could the 1.10 HUSNG's with their 10 cent rake be beaten? I plan to play regular speed as well. I just started back with poker and HUSNG's and probably have a 5% roi ATM but my game is improving as I knock the rust off. I am fine with it being a slow process considering I can take shots with the big freerolls they have.
thanks for the help!
I used to play $5 turbos at Bovada. I would play the $1 HU turbos for my warmups. I can't say that I did very well at Bovada, though I only played a few hundred games. The players at the $1 level are either super passive or super spazzy, similar to the $5 level, only more extreme.
I cashed out at Bovada. I hated not being able to take notes on players there. I also prefer faster, shallower tournament formats. You will be min 3bet and mindonked relentlessly at Bovada. Some players will do this with the nuts on any type of board, and there is no way of knowing whom you are up against. The only good thing about Bovada was that you could find 24/7 action there.
I play 2$ hypers now at Black Chip. I prefer the supersonics on Merge, but, because of the delays in their software, I'm afraid to play there anymore. I sometimes need to wait a for minutes to find action at Black Chip. During certain times, you could often find Turbo games at Seals With Clubs. Tournament fees at all of these sites are much lower than Bovada's.
There's really not a lot of options for U.S. players. Good luck. I would really stay away from Bovada.
Thanks for the reply!
i'm the opposite I guess, I really don't have much of a desire to learn the shallow stack stuff at the moment. It just isn't very fun for me. I currently play the 1.10 regulars on merge and enjoy it but there are zero freerolls or points systems to reward players. I know it isn't much, but the shot at binking the 5k freeroll on bovada is very appealing. I just would like to know if I should bite the bullet, put 100 bucks on and play the 5.50s, or if I could put 30 and do the 1.10s.

Bovada is the place to play. I am at the 50 dollar turbo level and even though it has higher rake the players are bad. I feel like on black chip or merge your players are much more educated.
My roi is also higher on bovada even with higher rake.
