Guide to Current Tournaments on Bodog Poker

Bodog Poker is a growing US friendly site that is part of the (larger) sports-book and casino sites Bodog group. Bodog tournaments are famed for 2 separate reasons. Firstly the guaranteed prize pools which currently reach $5 million every month. Secondly, the inexperienced opposition, many of whom come from the casino area of the site – making the tables very profitable for those with poker knowledge.

This Bodog tournament guide provides information on the best poker tournaments available at Bodog Poker. These range from the flagship ‘Pick Your Tournament’ and ‘$100k Guaranteed’ Sunday events through to the many regularly scheduled smaller buy-in tournaments. At Bodog there are tournaments to suit all bankrolls and levels of experience – many with prize pools larger than the sum of player entry fees.

Every Monday evening Bodog Poker holds a satellite which awards the winners a seat in their own choice of televised live poker events. The choice is with the winner and includes the World Series, WPT and EPT events. Qualifiers for this satellite run throughout the week and start at just $3 – meaning all players get the opportunity to win a dream ticket to a major event.

On Sundays Bodog poker run their largest tournament of the week. The $100k guaranteed costs $100+$9 to enter and awards huge prizes to those who reach the final table. The great thing about this major Sunday tournament is that the field is considerably less experienced than in the major tournaments at some of the better known sites – which will increase your chances of a lucrative spot at the final table. What is more, satellite qualifiers are available from just $1 (or even using frequent player points), meaning those with smaller bankrolls have the opportunity to qualify.
The regular tournament schedule has too many tournaments to list in a single article. Buy-ins are available from $1 through to $100 with the majority of events in the $20 and under range. These include many guaranteed prize pools starting at $500. A real benefit for tournament players at Bodog is that many of the regular tournaments feature ‘overlays’. This means that the sum of buy-ins is less than the guaranteed prize – meaning extra free cash for all who reach the money paying places.

Variations in the Bodog tournament schedule include 6-max tables, re-buy tournaments and turbo blinds. There are also special ‘beginners tournaments’ which pay twice as many places as the standard multi-table tournaments. Included in the schedule are many freerolls and ‘points’ tournaments which award entries into real money tournaments through the ‘tournament dollars’ system. Satellite qualifiers to live events also feature heavily in the schedule.

For players who enjoy no-limit Texas Holdem tournaments Bodog make an excellent choice. The selection of tournaments is huge for all bankrolls and the guaranteed prize pools add real money to 100’s of tournaments each month. Combine this with the excellent bonus – currently 110% up to $550 – and loose opponents, and you have a combination worth checking out today!
