Hello, I have a few questions about the Bovada Card Catcher.
1) Does having the BCC make the Bovada Hand Converter useless? Or would you still need the hand converter to convert old hands prior to using the BCC?
1) No. But if you are running both you'll need to do them in separate databases. The hand converter can convert zone hands, which the catcher can't do, and also the converter will allow you to see all known hole cards (w/ correct database versions), which the catcher obviously can't do.
2) Is the BCC able to capture hands from tables you are not sitting at currently? So could someone use the BCC and simply watch an ongoing table? I believe this would be against the TOC at Bovada since they do not want you tracking players you have not played against. But what about when playing in a tournament? What if I wanted to open a few other tables of the tourney and keep tabs on some of the other players? Technically since we are all in the same tourney we are playing against each other, even if not at the same table. Will the BCC work for these other tables?
Thank you in advance for taking time to answer these questions.
Cheers,
Yes, it will track observed tables. There's no way to track players after they leave, so it's not against Bovada TOS. They just don't want you tracking players and data mining across multiple sessions, which you can't do.
The card catcher will track data throughout a tournament. It's the one area where Bovada assigns a player ID (that is rest each tourney). So if you play against someone, get moved, and later meet them again, you'll get your previous data back. As far as tracking on observed tables in MTT's and collecting data, I've never tried or had someone try. Technically you should be able to.
