IMO....the company you represent needs to start making Smart decisions.
While the BPO is going on Bodog looks like they decided to Cancel the
$55 10k all week. As I see it, the site has more traffic because of the BPO
and that tourney would easly fill even with the BPO since "most everyone"
plays multiple tourneys at the same time. To me bodog is missing out on a
smart business decision to capture as much traffic as possible through-out the BPO
series.

So with this in mind ( as thier official spokesperson you are ) during the next BPO
keep that tourney alive.

Also.......I petition for a $20 rebuy 4-5k gaur. that starts sometime around the
other 2 rebuys ( the 3k $12 re and the 2k $10 re ) or even an hour after them just pryor the the $55 10k ( since this seems like the time you have the most traffic). This tourney use to be a favorite for most of the regs ( the 20re 5k ) but was usually to late at night to always make the gaur.

With all due respect.......I really dont feel that the site listens much to there long time players ( not looking to bash here). Give this $20 rebuy a chance because I "gaurantee" that it will fill. Just look at all the other sites that have a $20 rebuy.
They always CRUSH the gaurantees!

Edit: a $20 rebuy is an important tourney when a player is trying to make a jump from Low stakes to Mid stakes. It is paramount to the exsistence of all players trying to establish a bank roll.

OK...lets break this down. If the $20 with rebuys is scheduled between the 3k $12 re and the $55 10k It should get at least 100+ players.

100 x $20 = 2000 entered
50 x $20 = 1000 Minimum rebuys
50 x $20 = 1000 Minimum add ons

More easy math....this is yesterdays $12 rebuy 3k figures 11/4/09

Looks like it would be very easy to hit a 4k Gaurantee
as a $20 + rebuys IMO

COSIGN completely,

plz take this into consideration Becky. You keep seeing posts about Bodog tanking and not having enough volume to sustain the guarantee's etc but what Bodog fails to do is LISTEN to its customers. FTP and PS are the powerhouses because they beta test many different scenarios until they find one that people enjoy/get enough volume in.
It is so frustrating playing back in 2006 with the best mtt structure you have ever provided to seeing what it is now. We all see the potential in the site if only you guys took the time and made the adjustments. Lets go !!!!!

Edit: It would be Nice to get a respond from you Becky from this post.

Not looking for this to be a Bash Post :)

Agreed the $20R was by far one of my top 3 daily favorites. I thought it was terrible to see it taken off the daily tournaments and it really should be placed back on. If there's some concerns as to #entrants I'd even recommend scheduling the start time earlier and dropping the rebuy to $15 or so. The combo of these two elements should ensure a safe transition back into the schedule. Then you can/should adjust accordingly.

Reading you guys loud and clear. Please allow me some time to speak with Bodog Network and I will get back to you!

Becky

PS-if you want to PM me, "BodogBecky" should work...

i dont even play bodog anymore...occasionally i play a tourney here and there but it's not even worth my time to load it up and play just one tourney...obv if bodog had more tournies like a $20r with a 4 or 5k guarantee, i'd play...he's definitely right that just about everyone multi-tables...there's no reason for the 10k to not be going on during bpo...and i play more on cake and AP because of the tourney schedule and rakeback/rewards...sync breaks are definitely nice, but bodog has wayyyy more problems to deal with first...get a good tourney at these eastern times and ill be back immediately, 8pm 830 9pm 10pm 11pm and midnight...

I lol'ed =)

Bodog doesnt care about poker, pretty simple. As a former reg there, they had a good schedule (before the domain name issue). Upgrade your software and watch people come back, myself included.

Maybe sign some guys who actually play online poker to help with the schedule and sponser them as part of Team Bodog. Besides ZeeJustin it's pretty pathetic tbh.

see, i dont care about the software, sync breaks, or even bonuses that much...just get a good midstakes schedule to play...just copy UB/AP if you have to...or just go back to what the schedule was 1.5 years ago...

Regarding the tournament schedule, Bodog Network is aware that it is far from perfect and they are working on improving it. Bodog Network will only add guarantee tournaments if they can be filled, but they definitely want to have as many popular tournaments as possible. Regarding the daily $20 with rebuys, I will forward your wishes to our tournament manager.

Thank you! Becky

OK?!?! so much for addressing the issue of the 10k tourney everynight at 8 30 that was cancelled everyday this week that would surely fill during BPO?!!? .. wtf?? wasnt that the main point of this thread to begin with?!?

maybe a way we can help fill the guarantee on a rebuy tournament is to have a double add on. reduce the single add on to 2k in chips so that way it wont take all night to run if you double add on and get 6k in add ons. Just a thought....
