Painter567 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I just deposited today and played my first time on Bodog. I found it to be extremely loose. Remember I play 20-40 limit. I won a slightly over a grand in about 2hrs. I know I was at a "great table" and I know all about variance. Just had these questions...... Has anyone else experienced this? I remember someone once saying it was very loose because of the sports bettors having the cash and not really being poker players. If you have played on Bodog, I would like to hear any of your thoughts and comments. FCP Vets..any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Yes, it's infested with donkeys... but they WILL suck out numerous times on you and make you go crazy. So be warned. Link to post Share on other sites
missIdaho 1 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Bodog is the perfect place to find fish. It's ridiculous how bad the players there are. But be careful you aren't the only shark there. Link to post Share on other sites

So be warned.Thanks for the reply Suited up. Yea I started out in the hole and just waited and the suckouts ended and I was able to make a nice score. I left when the "fish" left the table. He burnt through about $1600 real quick. He called me down with TEN high one hand. I was like....WTF...then YEAH BABY! Link to post Share on other sites

MRPICKLES 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 What about their low limits? 1-2 and 2-4 limit Link to post Share on other sites
Painter567 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 I can't personally answer that.....Like I said, I just played on there today for the first time and it was 20-40 limit.Anyone else? Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 What about their low limits? 1-2 and 2-4 limit I haven't played there in awhile.... but when I did, there was a lot more NL tables than limit, so i'm not sure how much it's changed. Link to post Share on other sites
insano 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I play measly limits compared to yours, so I'm not sure how much it changes. But yea, the players on there are terrible. But then again, low limit players are bad at every site except on FT. So who knows? Link to post Share on other sites
Smokewagons 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Anyone know how the sports book works there? As in if you place a bet and win does the money all of a sudden show up in your account and vice versa? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

seed of Doyle 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 hey all...I tried Bodog a few times and find it to be one of the worst sites for poker. As unanimously stated, it is a fishing hole. My guess is that they market their site to be hip and cool for younger players to join. Younger players who have little clue of how to actually play the game. They keep spending until they catch a hand. Suckouts will happen no matter where you go, but they seem all too common on Bodog.

doubleatrain 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 What about their low limits? 1-2 and 2-4 limit When you can find a game at 1/2 or 2/4, they're usually fairly loose. I was just at a table so loose I got too frustrated, was on the verge of tilt and had to leave. Don't be surprised if the flops seen % is above 40%. 2/4 seemed to be the same. NL is always very loose usually.It can be tough to find a game sometimes for full ring, though there's always a couple short handed 1/2 tables going.Hope that helped!

CobaltBlue 662 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Limit's really not really very popular at Bodog (usually only 1-2 tables at each level), but yeah the players are pretty loose. Personally, I like that, though I don't play much Limit on there anymore.brad, do you go by specbrad on there? I'm on there pretty often at .5/1 NL. I'd love to come watch you play the higher limits.
