Bodog just launched a "software update" this week. A total overhaul is more like it. Among the changes are anonymous MTTs and SnGs. Players are no longer identified by a screen name that never changed but by a random number assigned to each player for a particular tourney.
What do you guys think about this innovation?
What do you think about the visually unappealing graphics and clunky performance?
Tell me. I am interested to hear.
I don't like the anonymity at all - if you play against one person a lot and get to know their tendencies that should be to your advantage.
That's the point of the anonymity ... to eliminate that advantage... levels the playing field, so to speak.Quote:

That sounds like a really desperate move by bodog
I dont know if you ask me really good poker players arent gonna make the jump their gonna stay where they can feed off the fish frnzy but thats just my opinion
but at the sametime they may want a new challenge so you never know
havent played it yet but hope they solved the lag
problem and sticking
After playing several tourneys all nite I noticed that the software runs like a shitty car with a shitty transmission. It is uneven and when there is an ALL-IN battle preflop the cards come firing out faster than a Jew running from a Dinner Check.
I am Jewish so I can joke. But seriously, the cards zip out in a speed that makes following impossible.
And just tighten up folks and wait for your hand. People are playing 33 like it was the nuts.
Is the table look the same? or did they change the software to make it look better?
Amazingly they made it look worse. I am telling you Calvin Ayre is puking in a bush in Costa Rica right now.
need to bring back freerolls IMO !
Is it even worth reinstalling it on my comp? should I try it out or does bodog suck?
Here is the thing. I learned how to play poker online in 2008 and the huge sites like PokerStars sorta intimidated me so I found myself at Bodog playing in, I believe back then they had 4 $500 Freerolls a day, 10 to 15 freerolls a week. Every week for months on end. Maybe 1/2 year or so and cashed ONCE!!!! For less than 2 bucks.
But back then every freeroll had 4000-5000 people playing flip a coin. Yet, I started to pay more attention and started reading up and got the nerve up to deposit $100 on Bodog and Started my "real" MTT playing. And after only 38 tournaments I made my first cash.
I neer played at bodog although a few people I know have I prefer Hero now
Never tried Bodog so far and see no important reason to do so atm
well from the sounds of it. I didnt try it when it first came out and not gonna try it now either
lol what this softwar??
New software okay I guess,, cards come out at the speed of sound,,,but cash outs there have always been fast and free ,,,,, hope that remains so...
Never played at Bodog so far and if I read this, I guess I won´t do it in future
Whenever there are tons of MTT's and SnGs i'm excited, i'll check it out.
still test driving it................................so far i like it..............more choices are always good.................sometimes having access to sportsline from poker acct is a nice advantage too
I havent played on bodog yet, but i did just install it and the update. I'll let you know how it turns out!
interesting exploit found from 2+2 poster ... Bodog's Anonymous Tables are not anonymous! - (2+2 thread)
i never played there because they r gonna boot all US players by the end of the year. that's what i heard anyway.
yes no point in me playing there then if their gonna be booting all US players
i dont like it, think its much harder to get any valuable reads
also some people at cash will play as "player4" then they will leave and come back and be "player2"
be careful, no transparancy, prob bots and colluders
gl at the tables,
t
bite me bodog never had as many bad beats anyplace except po client lol
And now they have lost their rights to the bodog domain. Fish were meant for the felt not those who are supposedly the ones entrusted with protecting those playing on the felt. Just cuz they have a wide variety of mtts and sngs is irrelevant if all those choices come from the same rotten basket. I will never deposit another cent there.
I think BOVADA traded their previous regime for UBs dumbest executive and an Apple 2 E to be named later.
And now their People have just refused to give me back a tourney coupon that just disappeared overnight. FUCK EM
I definitely would not be participating in these unless I was strictly bored
I just registered for it. I will try it in the future.
never got into it myself I have been starting to find some sucess at the merge sites so sticking to the hot hand at the moment
