Does anyone ever play HU on Bodog? If so could I get some feedback. Is there enough traffic? Can someone who plays there offer their opinion of playing HU there?
It depends on the stakes and formats you play. Turbos tend to have more traffic, like on most sites. If you're planning on a lot of volume by 4-tabling, you're probably limited to the 11s or 22s without mixing stakes. However, if you're 1-tabling, any stake and format under 100 is going to get you a game within about 5 minutes unless you're playing at hours when most of the US sleeps. At 100+, times are much more variable and it will often take 15 minutes or more to get a game.
It's usually within about two weeks. Although, my last check for 3k bounced and that definitely annoyed me. Still, after proving this was the case, Bodog refunded me for the bank fee and sent a new check. I think they should provide additional compensation for my wasted time, gas and potential risk but it's a step in the right direction.They also have a draconian new policy that limits free cashouts to 3k per month. If you want to cashout more, you have to pay $50 for each additional check.BTW: I've still had better experiences with Bodog than with FullTilt. I use FullTilt for receiving rakeback and their last two checks bounced. Cashout problems for all major sites eventually get resolved but there are certainly inconveniences. Most of this is a result of the UIGEA.
Hate to say it, but a big Stars check of mine bounced a few weeks ago as well. Actually, I put off depositing that check and then PokerStars contacted me not to cash that check because the bank they had used had their funds frozen.Now, I use echeck, direct deposit. That's much more convenient anyway and has been great.
Chipleader, are you using maybe any hh converter at bodog?Does latest version of HEM works on it?I read at hem forum that it has custom hand grabber, but it doesn't want to work on my machine.
I have HEM with the Bodog Hand Grabber from Idleminer but it misses hands and doesn't record game results correctly. The HEM HUD also has some odd issues like blinking upon an action. HEM's internal hand grabber for Bodog doesn't yet work for tournaments but when it does, I will give HEM another try. I've also tried to use PT3 but it had its own issues with the HUD disappearing and results not being recorded correctly. I've abandoned using any additional software.
So have you got maybe any advice for me hot to review hh on that site ?is the only option to review it in the lobby?(Im not gonna buy a idle miner graber, since I play only 5$ sngs)

How is cashing out? Is it a reasonable timeframe?
