Competition
The soft competition at Bodog is the main factor in their success. Bodog operates a successful casino and sports book that sends the poker room a lot of inexperienced players. The no limit Texas Hold’em tables are very loose with flop percentages in the upper 40’s to lower 50’s for some full ring tables. The Omaha action is also very soft with flop percentages sometimes in the 60-70’s. Bodog is a great place to play for an experienced player.
