Editor review: Bodog Poker: Swarming with Fish

If you want a lot of catch, then go fishing at Bodog Poker. It will sure be worth your while to visit and play at Bodog Poker for this site is a favorite haunt of 'little boys at heart' who think poker is 'just a game.'

Income-Making Potential

Bodog is originally a sports betting and casino site. When Bodog Poker was added to the site, it was natural for Bodog loyalists to shift from being mere sports bettors and casino players to online poker players. These players are generally long on cash and short on poker playing skills.

To a seasoned online poker player, Bodog Poker is a good place to earn higher returns for his money. Since you are playing with not-so-proficient players, you will find it very easy to intimidate players into folding or to lead them up to the showdown for a bigger pot.

Gaming Interface and Software

Bodog Poker doesn't have the most impressive gaming interface and software around, but these are nice and functional enough. For starters, Bodog Poker provides the necessary statistics at the poker room lobby. Here, you will see what the usual pot sizes per table and the typical percentage of players that usually wait to see the flop. This information will help you select the poker table and game that has the softest competition and the biggest potential earnings. If you prefer not to choose your own table, the QuickSeat function can assign you a seat in a particular table that matches your desired poker variant and limits.

At Bodog, you can choose to enable or disable the online avatar and the game chat function. Bodog Poker has a utility for reviewing past hands as well as tools for viewing other players' profiles, leaving them comments, and conversing with them in real time. You can also choose your own colors with the felt picker and play at several tables simultaneously through the PIP functionality.

Games, Restrictions, Incentives, and Tournaments

Bodog Poker offers the more popular poker variants: Omaha Poker, Texas Hold'em, and Stud Poker (the seven-card - plain and hi/lo variety - as well as the five-card type). If you're American, you need not worry because Bodog does not turn down U.S. citizens. By joining Bodog Poker, Bodog will give you 10% of your deposit as your signup bonus. Moreover, for every friend that you refer to Bodog, you can earn a maximum of $100. You will also earn Bodog points if you play regularly.

For a shot at the big time, you can join qualifying tournaments for the WSOP, WPT as well as the $100K Guaranteed tournaments at Bodog. There are also daily and weekly tournaments. New members, if they prefer less risk, can join both the Sit and Go as well as scheduled tournaments for beginners. There are also freeroll tournaments if you don't want to spend your own money.
