    It appears they have changed up the blind structure also. Im glad, been emailing their support forever to get rid of 5/10 blind limit.

    Its Bodog for me till the day I die.On the otherhand,we need some OFFICIAL explanations on whats really going on there.Dropping tourneys/guaranteed prize pools,faulty withdrawals,pathetic cash games(10/20plo/NLH addition to blame imo),pathetic software,their pros never play(when they do cash games thrive),buyin bonus/bodog points useless.

    Now I do understand that poker is nowhere near the earner that the casino/sportsbook is but thats no reason for poker to go neglected.Maybe some of us regulars can team-up and make some progress with the site we like to play at the most.Im down,PM me if any of you have any ideas. BLONDE!!!!

    If this tourney schedule stays I am taking most of my bankroll off bodog. I Enjoy playing pretty much only on Bodog, but with this new lineup there's just no way it will keep my interest.

    :/ they got rid of the 4k 33 at 3:00 pm. Boooo i liked that tourn. The 1:00 is dropped guar and still SS which is even worse. I sorta like the night tourns, the 12r they upped the guar at least. Theres a few other playable ones around 7 and the 830 is 44 again on certain nights which is sorta nice for the mid staked guys. Other than that they do need some serious help to their sched...

    this is so pathetic...withdrawing my money today...cant wait to get it next month!!!...i've been putting off depositing in UB or AP for a while now and i guess now is the time...i cant deal with the 1000+ person fields on FTP or PS...that was definitely a main reason i enjoyed bodog...i cant even believe this happened...wtf bodog...shit better change soon...funny too cause they make this garbage point contest for a chance at a WSOP seat or whatever...some people definitely played more than they usually do for April, and then they just cut every fucking guarantee...i mean, not only didn they cut guarantees, but they just straight up got rid of tournaments...whoever came up with this brillant idea can go fuck themselves...gg bodog

    Fuck you Bodog. This is complete and total bullshit. I have been a loyal customer for years and feel this is a complete slap in the face. This shows why the dog will always be a second rate bush league online poker site. It is a sad sad day.

    <span>I spoke with my contact at Bodog after seeing this post on the new Tourney schedule.<span> </span>Here is the lowdown as best as I can describe it in my own words.</span>

    <span>Bodog in the month of May:</span>

    <ul type="disc">[*] They have implemented a new blind structure for tournaments, based <span>on </span>player feedback, which should benefit the more skilled <span>tournament </span>player.<span> </span>The blind levels will be faster at the beginning of tournaments and then slow down after the <span>second </span>break to allow for more play later in tournaments.[*] The 100K has not changed although the new blind structure will make this a better tournament than it has been in the past<span>. W</span>hile keeping its usual<span>, some weeks up to 3</span>0% or so<span>,</span> overlay value for players.[*] <span>Bodog is</span> committed to sending over 100 players to the WSOP main event this year.<span> <span>They're o</span></span>ffering up to 6 seats per week for players<span>, including 2 seats guaranteed in their Sunday Main Event Semi-Finals. These</span> are easily the smallest ME seat qualifiers on the net, and perhaps, easiest<span>, so Bodog is adding an added value in that area.</span>[*] They are <span>also </span>offering a freeroll opportunity for players to win a WSOP main event prize package.<span> </span>For as few as 5 Bodog Poker Points, a player can win a main event seat<span> through a series of qualifying tournaments, concluding with a final tournament.</span>[/list]<span>Bodog is offering players value in other areas so even though I may not completely like this change I do believe it was necessary based on the overall health of the room. Do I think that this will remain this way forever, the answer is a resounding no.<span> </span>I expect at some point the guarantees to go back up. While I agree that the schedule posted today is not what we were used to in the past, by no means does that mean it cannot or will not be augmented. </span>

    most players on bodog are not playing for a $12,000 WSOP seat...it's ridiculous that that has become the main focus...the reason the qualifiers are such small fields is cause most people cant even afford to play them($250+20)...also, im pretty sure they just changed the 1st place prize for winning the month...wasnt it $2000 tourney credits? and now it's you get to play in a sng to win a WSOP seat! yeah!!!

    Jester I am sorry, but I just dont believe anything thats ever said about the bodog guarantees going back up. They cut these gurantees back in December I think saying it was only temporary and now they are cutting them again. I used to get checks in less than 7 business days and now I have a payout request from April 3rd that is still outstanding and have yet to receive the tracking number. Just seems theres alot more going on than we know with Calvin stepping down, these outrageous delivery times of checks and now cutting guarantees and getting rid of several tourneys completely. I am not sure what is going on and I used to play there as part of my daily tournaments but now I am thinking that its only worth it to show up for the 100k and to find a new 3rd site which is a shame because I like(d) Bodog.

    "The blind levels will be faster at the beginning of tournaments and then slow down after the <span>second </span>break to allow for more play later in tournaments." Is this even tournament poker??? What in the absolute fuck is going on here, I mean you must really be shitting me. Yeah they finally make some more levels in their tourneys and it's some half turbo tournament. Not to mention to the pathetic new schedule. I'm beside myself here, I never thought I would say it but it's damn close to GG Bodog at this point. I mean really, look at the names that have replied to this post, long time Bodog loyalists who are now going to be FORCED to leave the site. Incompetence at it's finest, Daisy owns, that is all.

    Edit: I guess cut and paste made me blue too, my bad

    Bodog improves their blind structure and then f#ck's us on tournaments, they drop the gaurantee or erase them entirely. Im one customer who has never had any problems with bodog and or their customer service. But to me it appears they are trying to royally f#ck themselves in the ass.

    The software is garbage and they have been steadily shrinking their tourneys. I used to almost completely play at Bodog and now I'm only playing sundays and like 2 or 3 tournies during the week.

    While I agree that I am not a fan of the new schedule, nor the drop in guars on the site, I really hope that they tweak this schedule sooner rather than later.

    I had already cut back my playing a while ago anyway due to my work schedule, but for those of you who were still there playing as your job, I really feel for you, honestly.

    I don't know what else to say.
