Sounds like bodog themselves will be leaving the US market, but really its just a name change as far as poker players are concerned according to the article. If this isn't true, then US players are really stuck unless merge allows US residents again soon.

Last sentence of the above link quoted below:

"It will mean the end of the Bodog era in the US but Morris Mohawk Gaming has been operating the brand in the US Market for the past 5 years so other than a name change it should be business as usual for US punters."

what's scary is that i have marginally more trust in a bodog site than a Morris Mohawk site. Ouch.

Merged from: bodog brand to leave U.S by 2012

cliffs:
-bodog is going to be licensed in the UK
-bodog brand decides to leave US market
-real company behind bodog will stay in the U.S with a new name

Im pretty sure the PPA is useless. Its looks to me to basically be an organization that was mainly funded by the big poker sites. They used that money to fatten the pockets of people like Barney Frank so they could have some sort of influence in Washington. But really it had no influence at all. What is exactly did people like Frank do? Seriously, what did he do? What exactly has the PPA done? I think the whole thing was and is bullshit. People on here just blindly defend and follow the PPA. But step back and think about it. What has the PPA done? It's whole point was through money to influence lobbyists and have some sort of establishment or say so in Washington. But it has and had no influence at all. I see shit on here constantly about join the PPA. PPA this, PPA that. The PPA hasn't done a fucking thing. Literally nothing. Yet everyone on here treats it like some sort of savior to poker. We are fattening the pocket now of some new guy who won't do shit. I look forward to him talking about individual freedoms and a bunch of other shit for us zombies to latch onto but nothing significant actually happening.

You have got to be fucking joking.

There are no soft fields left in the US market. All remaining sites are moderate at least.

I disagree. Bodog SNG super turbo's are the softest I have ever seen. It's just a shame they only let you 4-table.

It's not ideal but to me it's the best option for right now. It's still decent profit, just can't play nearly as many games as I used to on stars. But, I'm playing with a much higher SNG ROI than I ever had on stars, but sample size is only ~650ish games.

If the games are soft enough that you can grind out a decent profit then more power to you. I just don't know if I could deal with that for too long. STs are already psychologically brutal enough.

I used to hate grinding super turbos but it's pretty much the only thing I do on Bodog now. They are super soft and I can play a 40 minute session or a 4 hour session. But, I obviously wouldn't be doing it if the profit wasn't there. Maybe I'm just running good, but as of right now I plan to grind out as much money as I can before the end of December

Have you even played mtts on Bodog, Merge or Cake lately?

Or is this just a blanket statement made because of the current climate?

So does this also mean the cashout times will remain as fast as they have been?

Thanks,

Oh, thank God. The bad news has been too frequent as of late.

Like anyone will ever trust what a bodog rep says ever again after what you people pulled with the latest update. Get your money off quick if they even let you. Been waiting for a check from these criminals for 2 weeks now with not even and email response back to confirm yet.
