Bodog Poker Review

Major Poker Tournament Action:

The most notable major tournament is the weekly Bodog 100K tournament. With a reasonable $162 buy in the tournament still has a sizeable overlay. The field is generally in the mid 700's so reaching the cash is not difficult. With an average $25,000 paycheck for the winner it could be one of the best values in major online tournaments. Satellites run around the clock and start out with the "cheap seats" $1.00 buy in. Get in on the action here!

Player Volume:

Bodog is perhaps the lowest volume of the independent (non network) poker rooms, unlike most rooms, they list "players seated" rather than just "players online". Typically you can expect 1 to 2 thousand seated players depending on time of day. Although the number may appear small, there is no lack of action in ring games, sit n gos and tournaments.

• Cash Games: The most popular tables are in Texas Holdem and Omaha with Holdem seeing the majority of traffic. Low to mid stakes levels are most popular and experience small wait lists. Games are cataloged by the max buy in of 100X the big blind at the lower levels so that deeply bankrolled players cannot enter with mountains of chips. This allows for a more even playing structure. The tables are famous for loose and careless play, many times populated with winners from the attached casino or sports book.
• Sit n Go's: Bodog has a nice variety of Sit n Go's with buy ins from $1.00 to $220.00. Games are offered in single table, multi table and heads up formats. The wait for the games to start is short at most low to mid stakes games and at the higher levels, the wait is still rather short. Most notable is the Beginner Sit n Go games that pay 50% of the players. Regular payouts on a 9 seat table are 50%, 30%, 20%.
• Multi Table Tournaments: Although confined to Texas Holdem, the MTT's at Bodog are reasonable in players, have a wide selection of buy ins and freerolls run several times daily. There are many guaranteed tournaments that run throughout the day and most have overlays in them.
  
  The tournament action peaks with the Sunday 100K Guaranteed Tournament and often times, Bodog adds some more flavor to the game and bumps the prizepool up, recently with the 250K guaranteed. There are qualifiers to live events that run most all the time as part of the Bodog Flight Club. This allows you to qualify for land based events with buy ins, spending cash, accommodations and the ever famous Bodog Parties!
