I've have recently signed up to bodog & was wondering whether anyone else was registered there & would like your opinion on this site. I have been playing on this site for nearly a week & believe it to be the most insane site going. You will eaither win big or lose big because you are never sure what people are actually holding There are silly raises on nothing more than pocket 4's & I've seen pocket Kings beaten by this one too many occassions for its own good or course there are times where you take advantage of this and make a killing. It is like being on a rolercoaster with no brakes I would like to know what other peoles opinions of this site are

I played there once a while ago when my wife had an account. I thought the cards were too small! To top that off, I couldn´t resize the window... it was their way or the highway... I took off!

I recommend the site if people don´t mind having to look at small cards or not being able to resize the window. For me that was a great turn off. The rest was just like any other poker site.

Nope, not anymore than the others. Everything seemed ok to me, but I only played for about 3 days, I couldn´t take it anymore. My eyes were starting to really hurt!

I tried out Bodog, everyone said it was great I jsut hate the layout to be honest. I dont like how the table looks and because of that I dont play there. Maybe they've changed it around, i havent got the slightest clue

Bodog havent changed a bit, it did improved client stability so you can open a 2nd window and it wont crash. No resize, players at low limits are maniacs, not all but at least half of them, take a look at low limit tables, if theres a table where noone plays like maniac it is unique or all maniacs are asleep. Freeroll tournaments are rebuy and addon so expect maniacs in those freerolls too, i saw guy rebuyed 9 times before he finally realized its not his day, but theres a good thing about bodog and thats points, you can earn by playing playmoney games 1 point for every hour, after you collect 30 pts, your starting points are 50, buy in into 30 pts freeroll starting 25 minutes before rebuy freeroll. Much more solid players are playing there, few maniacs, because its freezout tourney. And check out withdrawal options before you do anything, even before registering, they have very few options for withdrawals so its a must. Cards are still small, text in chatbox also, i can hardly guess what someone typed, and dont bother using pre-action buttons they dont work how they are supposed too, i dont know did they fixed that bug but if someone had less chips then minimum bet if you selected call check box, if noone raised it would fold and if someone raised even if it was allin it would call because starting value of call button was not defined it was reported as 0.00 but i think some lamer left blank initialization of variable. I did won many hands on bad hole cards, so if you can buy in for minimum bet do it flops are amazing sometimes. I just went there to check that option and i got full house 5 of 9`s, on flop.
My advice, first checkout withdrawal options if they dont suit you dont even bother, they do accept many kinds of deposit options but very few withdrawal.
