TheCinciKid 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 These limit games on Bodog are going to be my salvation. I've been playing 8/16 and 10/20 and I must be up 150 BB the last two days. It's like the golden days of Party, only with really shitty software that makes it hard to play more than 2 tables, and with games that are only going strong half the day. Most relevant of all to the thread, I hit my "high end" goal for the month, as the BR's now back over $5,000.Congrats on reaching your goal. I totally agree with you on the Bodog limit games. Great, great games, but I find the software really frustrating, plus I can't use pokertracker and there's not a lot of volume on Bodog. But, all that aside, definitely the softest games out there right now. Link to post Share on other sites
krup24 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Being a bookie in college you would think that I would know better than to bet on football. Oh well I suck, $500 out the poker roll. Sucks. Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRichey 1 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Congrats on reaching your goal. I totally agree with you on the Bodog limit games.

But, all that aside, definitely the softest games out there right now.Actually, you can use PokerTracker with Bodog now. DogWatch This is a handgrabber, and the people at PT have now incorporated Bodog into PT. All the info you need to set it up is on DW's website. If you have any questions, check the forums on the PT website. Link to post Share on other sites
Mattnxtc 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 well im at 150BB at .25/.50 limit...yeah thats a massive 75 bucks...but the bodog games are ultra soft at most limits and a nice plo score helped out...bodog is still unsure on if they are going to do their end of the year bonus..if they do man it will help me out as id make a decent amount from that Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've come in to my own lately in tournaments and finally seem to be getting a grasp on the 180's. My goals for December are...1) Play 20 180's, Final Table at least 4 or 5, win one, at least two top threes.3) Increase bankroll to 1500-2000 from current 900.Well, I have yet to play the required 20 180's. I think I'm between 5-10, but I did end upwinning one yesterday for $1080, which pushed the bankroll over $1600, so hopefully I can play either break even or a bit above poker for the rest of the month, thus accomplishing the two goals. I missed the forum being down to not be able to make an FT thread...lolMy sharkscope looks pretty decent now, small sample size still, but it takes time.What do you guys consider to be a "good" sample size? 200-300 tourneys?

iggymcfly 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 200-300 should give you a good idea anyway. If it was 1-table SnGs, I'd say it would be enough to give you a pretty accurate winrate, but for MTTs (even 180s), you need a ton to really know where you're at.As for me, my BR rebuilding project's going awesome. I've been playing almost exclusively 10/20 on Bodog, and I've just been hammering the games. BR's now up to $7400 after taking out $400 for bills/Christmas shopping. Link to post Share on other sites

No_Neck 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 From now on I am not cashing out my poker roll until I can get to a level where I can make more money per hour than at my current job. Lets see how long this lasts.... Link to post Share on other sites
Mattnxtc 0 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 question....how are the low limits on AP? once i start gettin paychecks from my new job i am going to look to deposite enough to start at .5/1 limit and work my way up...site any good? ive never deposited but had an account for several years...also is rb still possible?

Abbaddabba 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 ONly if you've never held an account there in the past.Im not sure how bonus works at .50/1 - ive never tested it below 1/2. I imagine that it is quite slow, because the pot needs to be 10 bets in order to quality as a raked hand.If you are at a loose aggressive table, the bonus can get pretty crazy in terms of BB/100. Assuming half the hands get to 10BB's, that is 5BB/100. If the table is tight passive, you will clear almost nothing because the pots will almost never get that big. Link to post Share on other sites

Abbaddabba 0 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Coincidentally my worst day ever (two days ago) happened to occur in one of my best weeks.+3,000 despite a -$1,100 day. Played about 8k hands. Basically already reached my december goals. I expect to double that by the months end. Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Taking shots is fun. I tried the 5/10 PLO game the other day with half a buy-in and I won $800, so I decided to try it again tonight.After losing one short ($500) buy-in as a 60/40 dog with a big draw, and another one all-in on the turn with 2 pair + nut straight against a naked flush draw, I got kinda pissed and decided to buy-in full. A couple rotations later, this hand happened:(5 handed on Bodog)Hero is CO with: 6 6 7 3 :club:Preflop: UTG calls, Hero calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB callsFlop ($40): 9 2 4 :spade:SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $40, SB calls, BB calls, UTG foldsTurn ($160): 5 SB bets $160, BB raises to $620, Hero raises to $1,089 (all-in), SB calls $929, BB calls $165 (all-in)River: J :diamond:SB shows: A 3 2 9 (straight, five high)BB shows: A 7 3 T (straight, five high)Hero shows 6 6 7 3 (straight, six high)Hero wins $3,121.01Yeah, I know. I'm the worst BR manager ever. To be fair, the game was super juicy when I sat down, and there were no good 10/20 limit games going, and no 2/4 PLO games whatsoever. Also, I've been pretty good lately for the most part, putting in a bunch of hands at lower stakes. Anyway, I played another rotation at the table before realizing that someone at the table had me covered and 30% of my BR was in play if I got into a big pot, at which point I left. On the bright side, my BR's back over $10K. Hooray! Link to post Share on other sites
