Bodog Poker Open II
Posted on August 17th, 2008 by kdollar
Bodog Life Poker has announced the Bodog Poker Open II. In march, Bodog ran their first bodog poker series and with the success of the online tournament series they decided to bring it back.
Bodog is currently running satellites for the BPO II. With buy-in's for as little as $5+.50 or 50 PTS. So far they are only running satellites for the Main Event. Bodog hasn't announced the other bodog poker series tournaments that will be part of the Bodog Poker Open but I will update this post when they do.
The BodogPoker Open II Main Event will be played on Sunday October 5th at 1pm. The buy-in to the event is $470+$30. I am guessing the other events in the series will be in early October or Late September.
Bodog is also offering a poker reload bonus of 100% every 30 day period. I don't know how long this will last but if you are making a deposit at BodogPoker this will definitely boost your bankroll, so don't wait.
BodogPoker.com Beta Software
Posted on June 24th, 2008 by kdollar
BodogPoker.com is pushing to become a premiere us poker site and one of the most important aspects is software that is fast, responsive and allows players to easily multi-table. Bodog is currently a mid sized poker room that offers good action at any limit.
Though they haven't established themselves as a market leader but are always striving to change that. They are currently in beta testing of new poker software that allows players to re-size tables which is a very important aspect that poker players look for when playing at an online poker room. This allows them to fit multiple tables in their browser to play at various tables at the same time.
If you would like to play with the new bodog poker software then follow this link to Bodog and find where it says: Bodog Poker Beta Download and that will take you to the beta download page.
*Also you can have the beta version and the old bodog software installed at the same time.
