Bodog does not offer hand histories by email and is not PT compatible. The NL is very very soft. The limit games are non existent for the most part. Though there have been 3 2/4 games going most nights now. The bonus is unlimited 20%. Must clear 3x the bonus amount in points. You get points for time played, rake when you contribute to the pot, and tourneys (double rakeback basically).

Is it really a good site to play on? I'm looking for somewhere else to play some .50/1.00 while I wait for my party skins to offer more reloads. Do the bonuses clear easy??

What's Bodog's pay-out structure on a 6-man SNG? How long does it take?

How does their bonus payout work? I multi table (4) 3-6 limit or one table 400nl. Is this worthwhile for my play levels?

The NL is extremely soft and I found the bonus to be easy to clear at $1/$2NL. Having any part of my roll, however, at a site with a sportsbook is -EV for me. Too tempting.

Yep, this is why I stopped playing there. For all the money I won in poker, I kept giving it back betting on sports.

no, but the bonus is bottomless anyway so you don't need it.

Re: rakeback...

Okay... thanks for the info.

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.
