bodog Poker effin blows. Seriously. I have no idea why I deposited on that site but it is lame as hell. That sad part is the competition on there is so weak that it could be very profitable if it had more traffic. I'd be up a lot now on my initial $50 deposit if I didn't get bored so easily and spewtard my money away in SNGs. SNGs on this site are super soft. If you know the very basics of SNGs and follow a basic strategy, you could deposit $50 and hop on the $5 super turbos and feel comfortable. If you know more than average, hop on the $10 super turbos and you'd think-this is too easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah...variance and BRM and whatnot. Just saying you could and you'd own it.
Seriously, it takes about 30 min just to fill up one $5 super turbo SNG (10 seats) and the game last forever. Of course Bodog likes to fxck me over by giving really good hands during the first 5 rounds or so when everyone is playing tighter than a butthole, but then they flip-the-script on me when blinds are high and give me shat hands I'm forced to fold or I have to push and pray with.
Don't get me wrong, I like weak players and they are easy to beat. Just everything about this site is super slow. Even the super turbo games are super slow. WTF? Filling up an SNG is slow, everyones actions on the tables are slow. It feels like I'm playing a live SNG when I play on Bodog. And you can forget multi-tabling...it doesn't happen. I'm lucky to get 2 tables going at the same time, but it doesn't speed up any action. It's still painfully slow. I've fallen asleep playing Bodog...My real enemy is me because I find myself getting bored very easily with this site. I deposited on Friday and I'm done with Bodog. It's that bad.
It sucks, too because I would like to see it get more players and more action on the tables, especially SNGs. The skin sucks, the navigation sucks, the SNG filters suck. Sorry, Bodog.
Anyway, if you've read this and still want to play on Bodog, here is my little 'get rich quick' tip: Deposit enough to play the $3 SATs into any $10 buy-in game. The $3 SATs are 10-seat SNGs that pays out $10 + $1 for 1st-3rd place. This is this best payout out of any $3 STT. Use the $10 SAT ticket to play the $10 super turbo STTs. Profit.
It's a very easy but slow, long, boring process...

My only bankroll was on tilt. I continue to play there, where I have amassed quite a play chip balance as well. If they ever do open back up for us biz, ill be able to play quite a few of those 500K freeroll tournies! ! Not really ready to put any money on another site and get the guv on that one as well. I have reverted to going to a fouple of nearby casinos and playing there. One that is close to my area of work offers an interesting game of 1-2NL, with a 40 buck minimum AND maximum buy in, and it is good to wrap your mitts around a few cards! !

I believe that merge skins, which carbon is, stopped allowing NEW accounts to be created on their sites. Existing accounts can play. I believe they are struggling to be able to handle the huge amount of new US players after the other main sites stopped allowing us to play.

i've been asking forums that question since black friday. ive seen no posts so far on any US player withdrawing from any of the merge skins. carbon told me in an email it's 4-6 weeks by check. i'm playing on $25 poker host gave me but they charge 40 for withdraws so i'll likely put something on carbon if i can confirm US players have been withdrawing successfully from there.
