I just cashed out the last of my bodog $$ and i prob wont play there again unless they shape up ... but theres gonna have to be some big changes. The 55$ 15k which was the only daily playable tournament on there is now a 10k (used to be 50k+) ... the 109 100k which was the only reason i kept $$ on there is now a 163$ 100k. I feel like this is just gonna keep happening until they fall apart altogether and i dont wanna be there when it happens. I kno i got my start there and i met alot of great people but im over it.... gg bodog

I was gonna start this same thread when i realized today was the last day before the massive guarantee drops. I pulled ALL my $ off Bodog today down to the very cent.
Pretty sure I won't be back for a long time.

The value is gone, software still sux, can't review hand histories, and now the majority of their tournaments aren't even worth the effort. Especially knowing what you USED to get for the SAME investment. I just can't do it. GG Bodog

IMO they shoulda tried implementing Late registration first before they went the guarantee dropping route. That woulda def helped their situation.

I used to have mixed feelings about Bodog and wanted to put money into other sites.  However, the way I see it is, if you can win consistently on any website, why would you ever want to leave?

I would only want to leave a poker site if I was a LOSING player.  Money is money...that overrides the MTT's/structures/guarantees.  Bottom line is, just win consistently and you wouldn't have to worry about the guarantees, ect..

Plus, I'm a sportsbook junkie and Bodog is the only poker site that has this. 

Unless someone can GUARANTEE that I win on other poker sites, I'll still be a BODOG REGULAR.



Thank you for saying what I wanted to say in a nice way.  I hope all you "im to big for bodog" guys who say u are leaving, do.  Its a shame that its all about the $$$. 

Please, any one who leaves Bodog now never in the future ever whine about a site whos got bad CS, pay outs and security...

well idk if it had anything to do w/ the dropping of guarentees and tournaments but i guess since i was only playing higher variance tournaments (the 100k and the 15k 830s) because there was nothing else worthwhile to play i went on a 70 buyin downswing there. Its just no longer worth it and i might as well cut my losses before i go totally busto there. If i still had 5k+ id prob stick around but with my last bit of money im just through

Just deposited another $500 on Bodog, taking advantage of the redeposit bonus. I've played there for forever. It finally occured to me that by uneccissarily redepositing I could massively increase my profits.

Now that a lot of the old regs are leaving, MTT's will be softer than ever. Like someone said, why the fuck would we leave a site where winning is so rediculously easy, payouts are redic fast, and customer service has phones?

I've had issues with them in the past, mostly software related, but now the software is better than ever. I have honestly had zero issues ever since the last update.

Sorry to see everyone leave (sorta). It's been a lot of fun. And, again, like someone already mentioned, if you are one of the people leaving, please never complain about payouts or CS again, in my case atleast, those complaints will fall on def ears.

I'm looking forward to the new $100k structure, and won't mind shipping the 8:30 nightly a couple times a month.

When you guys get tired of the variance on larger sites, Bodog and I will always be there for you to come crawling back to.

Best of luck,
Nate
