What do you guys think about bodog?

I find it to be one of the hardest places to play poker. The people that play the freerolls just seem to be playing a game in chaos mode.. All in all the time and by gosh If I do get a decent set of hold cards the flop will be crazy over the top... J J J on the flop when I got A 10... I have never had any luck there..

Have you?

A little hard to assess a pattern with one hand. Dang, that could happen (and does) anywhere.

I hate BoDog because of the lack of skill of most players. In a freeroll one should expect reckless play for the first 3 levels or so because by then the donkeys have used up most of their luck. But I would much rather play on pokerstars or Full Tilt where the skill level is higher and so is the rationality of the players.

I got put out of a tourney last night on bodog that went like this...

I had A K, I raised a little preflop. A few called.. Flop comes 2 K 5....Dude before me goes all in. I figure alright he has the K I should have him with the kicker.. I call. He had my chips covered... His cards turn over and he has a 2 3..... WTF is all I can think.... Then of course on the river comes a 3.... Screw Bodog the skill level of play there is very low.

Where's the problem? You will win this most of the time and you should be very happy to be able to cash more often as a result. Would you rather play against pros that can kill you every time?

well, all i know about bodog is that its in trouble with the law. From what i have seen from them is that there graphics look really good. I may hit that sight up after they gets out of the troubles. Youll will see the same type of play in most types of freerolls, anywhere.

Rumor has it that Bodog may be pulling out of the U.S. market as soon as the end of the NFL season. With all of their troubles involving the long cash-out problems and dealings with the US Govt, this doesn't really surprise me if this happens. I hope and pray that Bodog doesn't leave as I happen to play at bodog the most of any poker site.


I'm just giving a heads up on the "rumor" going around and hope that it is indeed only a "rumor".

Exactly, I would happily suffer a bad beat 10% of the time as long as the other 90% of the time they Keep on playing with a lack of skill, this lack of skill you talk about is where you will make most of your money, maybe when you realise this you too will start making ome money.

That is precisely why bodog is magnificent! The surplus of donkeys is remarkable. I hope that rumor about bodog closing down at the end of the NFL season is false because I need to make my mortgage payments!

Bodog!!!

I've played their freerolls and the play is ok. Play for real money and the play changes. It is computer generated programs these online sites and are in some cases pulled/geared toward house or long time players. I had the same thing happen but not just at Bo dog, it happens everywhere and happens often. Play home games if you can, it's not computer generated. Play online for the fun of playing and bank on more than your fair share of bad beats.

I wish i could play on bodog but unfortuanatley i live in canada. I don't know the exact reason why bodog won't allow any canadians to play on their site, and I do wish they could allow them to play. As for the skill level, I've heard it's donkcity on that site! anyways, best of luck to those playing on bodog.

Another post here

The one thing you can do to make online play better is pick a empty table and play with some of your personal friends. Pick a table and get a lock on it togeather as a group and all register and sit down at the same time. This way --all players are your friends and their is no site players or long time players getting any generated pull, and you will be playing with your friend which should make it much more fun.

Full Tilt where the skill level is higher

I would much rather play on Pokerstars or Full Tilt where the skill level is higher and so is the rationality of the players.
That's a great joke.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I guess it all depends on how you play poker, cause i finished 3 times 2nd on thoses freerolls at BoDog and it's one of my favorite place to play. On the other hand, i've always been out quickly on fulltilt free games. Donks are everywhere there and i can't play a hand without being rivered.
The thing i appreciate at Bodog is the slow raise of the blinds, the nice prizepool ($500!!!) and the fact that i can register this game 2 minutes before the start.
If you compares it to FullTilt games, there is only $100 to win, you have to register the game during the first 2 minutes nor you won't be playing, and players are as crazy as everywhere.
I can't understand people telling that there is less donks on the huge rooms?!?! To me it's seems like a mistake cause when you have a bigger field of player then you got a bigger field of donkies.
That's a simple law of common sense.
Just want to add that if you want to reach the HU at BoDog then you'll have to play for almost 5 hours, you can't do it in 2 or 3 hours, lol. So be patient...
