When I played there a few years ago, before switching to pokerstars and fulltilt, they had some of the softest 1/2 nl games i have ever seen, live or online. It was not uncommon to see hands like QJ and K10 allin before the flop against my KK and AA type hands. I had a heater one time and turned $100 into about $650 in less than an hour. |

lost interest in playing online, developed other interests, made bad choices, there are a bunch of reasons. Besides i was highlighting the best aspects. Sometimes it is hard to play people who do not know how to play and consequently you will get baffled/peeved by some of those players. |

I've played there, didn't like it and haven't played there for a long time now. PokerStars has waaaay more games going on, more players, and just an overall much better poker site. This is of courese my humble opinion but hope it helps. |

However, there are so many more options and games available on P*. Furthermore, you often had to wait to fill a SNG, small stakes table at Bodog. That just doesn't happen often on P*. |

 I play there on a regular basis and I love the site. It's different from ant other site and runs really smooth in my opinion and has a lot of great options. The games seem a bit softer than poker stars and full tilt and they have 3 $500 free rolls everyday. There are at least half the people signed up than what you see at Poker Stars and if you place you win money not just an entry into another tournament. I would say to go ahead and download it a see for yourself. If you do decide to check it out and have any questions I 'll be happy to try and answer them for you.  |

last i had heard it was very difficult to get money off of bodog. Easy to get money on, but not so easy getting it off. that and the software is apparently awful.
other than that I hear that the cash games and tournaments are very fishy and loose aggressive ($$$). They also used to have a great reloadable bonus but I think its gone now.
so I'd check 2p2 or some other forums and see what the cash out situation is. If it has gotten better then go for it. |

It's highly variable how many days it takes them to do the Western Union, anywhere between 1 and 5 days for me so far. |
