open ended answer.. when will it be added?

Don't hold your breath.


I've been there since the poker room opened and it died a couple of years ago. Jester Dodouble and I held a funeral. Sad part was it was suicide because the idiots running it, killed it.

RIP Bodog

I bet there are alot of regs who would say the same, if they all start posting this thread would be overwhelmed

 I've never played Bodog but as a US player with fewer options than most I would give them a shot if they upgraded their MTT schedule. Doesn't seem worth while to sign up for what they have now.

 Miss the Calvin Era MTT schedule ; 2005-2007 ish....

Becky, my following comments are not directed at you personally, but rather at your attempts to be a liaison between the posters here on pocketfives and Bodog.

Becky - so far, you have failed.

And I'm note sure where the failure has occurred.  But you have to admit - we have been providing feedback to you for months, and to Bodog (both directly and indirectly through numerous historical threads), and so far, we have seen one minor improvement to Bodog (late registration), and nothing else.  We have seen continued reductions to guarantees and two major system crashes.

And unfortunately (for us - perhaps fortunately for Bodog), those two major crashes occurred during the major tournament each week on Bodog, where a significant guarantee was not going to be met.

To date - you have only paid us lip service.  Perhaps that is all that you can provide us, because you cannot really impact what Bodog's poker licensee is doing.  And if that is the case - then I think that you need to stop soliciting us for information on how to improve Bodog until Bodog themselves is ready to step up and start making improvements.

I think for you, as a representative of Bodog, to be taken seriously again, you need to provide us with specific details on changes - what the changes are, when they are going to happen - and then DELIVER upon those changes.  Otherwise, you are ineffectual liaison and we would be better off just sending our criticism and feedback to Bodog directly.  That or send our deposits and business to someone else.

it's sad that i have to play on a site that is known for cheating players (UB/AP) because the site that i want to play on, wont give me a decent midstakes tournament schedule(i dont deal with 1k+ person fields)...poker is how i make my living, and UB just has the best midstakes schedule...bodog used to...UB/AP is the new bodog, and everyone knows it...all the old bodog regulars are now there...just waiting for CINBAD3 to join UB :)

edit: oh yeah, pick6man obv speaks the truth.

There sure is...

Specifically the $20 rebuy that has been requested: It will be up, along with some other tweaks to the tournament schedule that have come about via player feedback, and looking at what has been working, on Monday Nov 16th. The $3,500 Guar $20 Rebuy will be nightly @ 8 pm Est. 

:)


Hope the Midstakes schedule continues to get better........
Thanks Becky

I cant help but get excited but like someone once told me " dont put bodog on a pedistool" , we need to wait and see if this follows threw before i party.

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.

Here's a suggestion I'd love to see implemented make the $33 3K midnite est that is a 4K once a week into a 5K with a weekly 6K and improve the structure to 3K starting stack with 15 min blinds. I never play the tourney since a 3K guarantee just doesn't make it worthwhile along with the shallow structure.

that's cool...it's honestly the only time i know of that bodog actually listened to one of these threads and acted...but at the same time, 1 additional tourney isnt gonna get me to deposit money back on bodog...i have no idea how much i even have on there but it isnt much...

i guess you gotta start somewhere, and this is in the right direction...hopefully it fills up
