The countdown to the Bodog Poker Open IV starts now! I don’t want to hype this or sound like a used car salesman, but I honestly love this series. I’ll admit it, the main reason I love this series is because I’m such a big fan of Bodog. As a self-proclaimed expert, I can often be heard beating my friends over the head with all the reasons they should be playing at this room, so now it’s your turn.
I’m going to tell you about the Bodog Poker Open IV in a second here, and if you don’t want to hear all the reasons to be playing at Bodog Poker, go ahead and scroll down this page and save 40 seconds of your life. However, if you aren’t familiar with Bodog, give me a moment to tell you why this room is so cool.
As I always tell my friends, it’s where James Bond would play. From the website to the software, to the types of players Bodog has, there’s just something sexy about this room. While a lot of online poker players bounce from room to room, a good percentage of players at Bodog consider themselves ‘Bodog players’. I do as well.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t play at other rooms also, and it certainly doesn’t mean that Bodog is the best overall room. It means they have a lot of cool reasons to play there, reasons that most other rooms don’t have.
First, the players at Bodog Poker are extremely aggressive. While I don’t claim that Bodog has the best poker room, they do have an online sportsbook and casino that many experts and players agree, are the best online. A large number of the poker players at Bodog come from the sportsbook and casino, and many of them are hard-core action junkies. This results in ultra-aggressive play at the cash tables, making them easy to beat for good profit. Juicy, easy to beat games – isn’t that what we’re all looking for?
If you’re a hard-core tournament player, you should check out our Pokerstars bonus page and get up to $600 free when you register a new account there. However, if your preference is cash games and Texas Hold’em sit-n-go tournaments, Bodog Poker is a great place to play. They have the juiciest cash games online, plenty of sit-n-go traffic, and their so-called ‘Beginner Sit-n-Go Tournaments’ are extremely popular.
* Before you head to the poker room, write down Bodog Poker bonus code (Bodog calls it a referral number) 1169861. Bodog will ask for this during the registration process, and it will allow you to get the 110% up to $550 bonus.
There is a lot more I could say, but since this article is about the Bodog Poker Open IV, I’ll go ahead and get to that now.
Bodog Poker Open IV
The latest installment of the Bodog Poker Open begins on November 1st. It consists of 15 events, 8 of which are designed for lower-stakes players.
The Contender Series is a total of 8 events with buy-in amounts that range from $5+.50 up to $46+4. The $46+4 tournament is the Main Event, giving players a chance to win some big money, without the big money buy-in. The Contender Series begins on the 1st of November, and runs one event each day until the following Sunday. Every event has an additional $500 – $7500 added to the prize pool by Bodog Poker – nice. Anyone who makes a final table in this series will also win a free seat into the Championship Series Main Event – a $500 buy-in.
Satellite tournaments are available for each Contender Series event, and they range from just $.50 up to $5. Play in Contender Series Satellite Tournaments.
7 different events make up the Championship Series, with buy-ins that range from $50+5 up to $470+30. To add some excitement, Bodog Poker is adding between $2,500 – $25,000 to every prize pool in the Championship Series. These are nice overlays to take advantage of. All players making a final table will also win a $500 seat into the Main Event.
Satellite tournaments for the Championship Series start for as little as $1 in cash, or 30 Bodog Poker Points. Play in Championship Series Satellite Tournaments.
All events in the Bodog Poker Open IV are Texas Hold’em tournaments. Most are no-limit, but there are also a few FL and PL events.
