Best Poker?

Always_Over · 11-30-2007, 11:00 AM

I have been researching new sportsbooks and poker sites.
I am thinking bodog is the best since they have both.

The pros are its very easy to use and navigate they have sportsbooks and casino. Also they are legit and wont hmm-haw your money and have Good customer service. Also their poker tables have high traffic.

The cons are it takes 2-3 weeks to get your payout, at least initially to get your instant (10days) deposit setup. The casino games are glitchy (Roulette hitting the same number three times in a row, lol). Poker autofolding - but I think that might happen at any poker table if you have internet connection problems.
But overall, I quit roulette and the poker autofold rarely happens and I am actually grateful for that (rather than CALL, lol), since it only happens when I am doing other things on my cpu that cause my signal to slow to a crawl.

Is there a better way to go for poker?
Any places, for either, that give you a direct deposit without any BS and without taking 1-3 weeks?

Full-Tilt and Poker Stars are the places to play at the present time.Poker Stars a must have if you wanna play online.

Full-Tilt good , but horrible c.s.

all others are inferior at the moment.

I play poker at Bodog. I like it and don't have any problems playing there. Haven't had any issues of my hands being autofolded. I like it because I can deposit by echeck. It doesn't bother me having to wait a little bit for a withdrawal, because I know they will pay. I don't know about their casino, never played it (or anybody else's). I have never heard of anybody winning in an online casino.

I also play at Bodog. One other advantage to consider is that, according to several people I know who have played on a variety of sites, the standard of play at Bodog is quite poor. there are reasons for this, particularly the three-table limit (which keeps some pros away), but regardless, at the moment the pickings are ripe.

YEah, I been playing at Poker Stars and I wanna go back to Bodog.

AT bodog you can break even by finishing in 5th place and I almost always get into the top 5. The players are definitltly not as good on bodog.

In poker Stars the competition is a lot better and you need to finish third or better.

Unfortunalty Bodog quit taking echecks from us customers so Ewallet is my only option. With epassporte you can play instantly on pokerstars...
so i got to step up my game

poker stars for sure. there may not be rakeback, but they have a VIP player system there at least. and you have peace of mind knowing any troubles you have will be dealt with promptly, try doing some random response time tests between them and others.

Since my book is Bodog, I have been a poker player there as well. I have not seen another book where the poker funds and book funds are seeming one and the same. Poker winnings are instantly there to bet on sports.

Lots of loose frustrated sportsbettors there (me included.)

Also Bodog has the best freerolls IMO (daily $500 2:40pm, $1000 9:30pm). No- if you are in the top 18 out of 8,000 you get an entry into...or bogus bonus dollars - ....You win REAL money if you finish at least 63rd in the 2:40pm freeroll (usually around 2500 players) and 99th in the 9:40pm freeroll (usually around 4300 players); however it will take 3.5 hours or more to get there.

While Bodog's service dept has slipped since the US on-line gambling laws were enacted, and they post late and dual lines, Bodog is still a stable book (IMO A- at best) and poker room for rec. players. Pro players, or those looking for higher action have better choices out there. Bodog has eliminated bonuses (had a 5x rollover anyway) since the US anti-gambling laws passed. Bodog's payouts are still slow by regular mail (abt. 1 month), but Bodog has not stiffed me on a check yet.

Only problem is Bodog's new poker software (while looking better) can be a bit sticky with slower servers and I have had hands autofolded in freerolls while trying to look (or go back anf forth) at the tourn info screen due to delays. Hopefully, bodog will iron this out. Straight money tables seem to be fine.

I have been playing on Fulltilt for a while, but I am thinking about going to Poker Stars or Bodog. I know PS is better for poker, but I may want to sports gamble so Bodog may be the spot. Anyone left Full tilt and go to one of these others and it work out?
