Hats off to Bodog!! (oh, and screw Empire)

"It has been awhile since you last played at our tables, but I think I have something that you might be interested in: How does free entry into the Bodog Poker Room $100,000 Guaranteed Tournament sound? The tournaments are held every Sunday, so if not this week - - any week!"

I had to deposit $50, and after doing that they gave me $109 in tournament chips so I could buy into this tourney.

This is a company going out of their way to keep their customers happy. Nice to see this going around when you have crap like what Empire is doing at the other end of the spectrum. So hats off to you Bodog, you have gained a loyal customer for life, and a lot of good word of mouth advertising. And if Empire et all aren't careful, those idiots could see a serious loss of business. They are acting like they have a monopoly on online poker, and nothing could be further from the truth.

I agree with you. I didnt get the free tourney offer, but I just tried Bodog for the first time to see how the bonus cleared and how the cash outs are.

Found the bonus cleared at stud quickly, and if more games get going I'll be playing more and more there.

Just made the cash out so I don't know how that will go time wise yet.

I'll redeposit much more next time and work off the bonus happily.

Cmon all you prima and party stud players, clear some bonus at Bodog, it's by far the best place for stud players clearing a bonus.

I agree that the Bodog bonus clears quickly when playing stud. The only problem is that few stud games are ever going at one time.

To help combat this, myself and some others from the BW forum are planning on flocking to Bodog's stud tables this Sunday (5/15) around noon (PST). Hopefully, enough people will turn out that we can get quite a few stud games going.

If you like to clear bonuses quickly and/or like playing stud (7stud, 8OB, or 5card) come to Bodog on Sunday afternoon and take advantage of the increase in stud traffic.

I tried to clear my bodog bonus with 7-card stud, and there wasn't a single table going. I played some 5-card stud, but got killed because I had no idea what I was doing. Back to Omaha and Hold Em and I did okay.

I was pretty disappointed with the table selection though.

That's why a group of us are plannig on flocking to Bodog's stud tables on Sunday. Hoepfully, we'll be able to get seferal tables going, which will that attached some the the sportsbets (i.e. non-poker players) to the games. Hepefully, our experiment will be successful.

[DuggleBogey]

I do NOT want to play at those tables!!

Would this really be profitable just to clear the bonus?

yeah Bodog is so [censored] nice. They won't allow Canadians to play.

[sublime]

They won't allow Canadians to play

while this sucks fir canadians its great for US customers. its awesome to call bodog and get to speak to people who use english as thier first language.

bodog has beena favorite of mone for a few years (pre poker i used thier sportsbook)

site that has a strong future, imo.

Last time I played there my middle set got board-quadded 3, count it, 3 times.

I've had more bad beats there than anywhere else combined--and the reason for that is the players are SOO AWFUL. It's a goldmine if Lady Variance is on your side.
