Welcome Bodog Poker to PP

I think I might have found my new favorite poker room. I have been getting some bad beats on Full Tilt lately, so I decided to try out another poker room. I have played in pretty much all of them (Including Bodog), but I had heard that Bodog Poker has made a lot of changes since the last time I played there. I decided to deposit a hundred bucks and see what I could do.

First of all I have to start by saying I was extremely impressed with the software. I couldn’t believe how good it was. Then on top of that, the players that I played against were just absolutely terrible. I was planning on writing a couple of good posts last night and I ended up playing a 14 hour session of poker on Bodog. Seriously, I was amazed–I do not know how I could have been missing out on this poker room for so long.

I have been trying to keep up and make sure you guys and girls know the best poker rooms to test out the skills you read on this site, so I had to inform you of a new good one. I will be writing up an in depth review of Bodog Poker, so you will be able to see more about the poker room. Either way, go check it out for yourself. The only bad thing I could find is that you can only play 3 games at the same time. That is one thing that could stop this poker room from exceeding Full Tilt (for me personally). Still, everything else so far, beats Full Tilt for me.

I started off just playing in a .50/1.00 no limit game with the $100 I bought in with. Right off the bat I got dealt KK so I decided to play it hard. I ended up doubling up off some guy who apparently must have thought that his pocket 5’s were Aces, because he just couldn’t let them go. After that I played it cool for a couple of hours, picking up a pot here and there.

Finally, I got dealt 7 8 of diamonds and I was at the button. I decided to keep the aggressive play going and I raised it up. I had a couple callers, and managed to flop a open ended straight draw along with a flush draw. I pushed after being raised (with a caller behind that). I ended up getting one caller (a guy with top pair) and I caught my flush on the turn. Then I caught my straight (not that it mattered).

Needless to say, that is how my whole night ended up going, and I went to bed with $965.32 in my Bodog Account. Starting with only $100.00, that of course was a pretty lucky run. I played very solid poker, and the cards just seemed to fall in the right place. I am sure that winning like that had a lot to do with why I like Bodog so much now, but that wasn’t just it. I just enjoyed every part of their software. Not to mention the very loose players that must have been coming from the Bodog Casino (thats right, they have a casino and sportsbook as well). That is what us poker players love to see–a bunch of gamblers strolling into the poker room.

So let’s Welcome Bodog Poker to Poker Perception. You will be hearing more about the room in the future.
