I've been playing pot limit Omaha 8 at bodog and there is one major factor that makes it a good place to play. The flop percentages there are consistently 50% of higher. There are some regulars there that are decent players, but for the most part the tables are pretty loose.
But there are two major problems:
1. Low traffic. During non-prime-time hours, it's hard to find a game at all above .05/.10. Even on weekend nights, there are only a handful of games up to .10/.25 and few if any above that. So if you want to progress in your game and move up in stakes, Bodog has its limitations.
2. Worst hand history on the internet. Every other site I've seen has a "History" or "Last hand" tab right at the table where you can study what just happened and to go back a few hands. Most of these have graphic representations or even replays of the hand. On Bodog, you have to go all the way back to the lobby, the player preferences, then open up hand history and search for the hand number. And the hand history is a scroll that doesn't even display all at once in the small window. Omaha is game, especially while you're learning, where the showdowns are so fast that it's hard sometimes to know what happened and who had what, especially since on BODOG some opponent cards are obscured at showdown. The BODOG HH is quite useless.
There was somebody on here a few months ago who was on some BODOG committee for site improvement. The terrible hand history is what sets Bodog apart from all other sites. It just boggles my mind that with all the money they make they wouldn't make this simple software improvement.
