playing on bodog

I don't like to fade the rake, so I've played off and on in the tournaments. They have a lot of nice overlays and don't seem to sweat it.

The tourneys have a slow structure which helps the good player. However, the level of play is higher than most other posters say. Doing well in poker is as much about other people making stupid mistakes as it is about your good play.

Also, there is no mix of games. All they have is holdem, so the level of play seems to have evolved to a higher stage quicker.

The slower blind raise system and tougher players may frustrate weaker players. In a big tourney like those on party, everyone gets lucky and makes it into money occasionally, but in a tourney with 100 to 300 players, you're talking about a 3 hr. grind and they can't wait that long.
