Bodog Delays the Masterpiece

Well the masterpiece that I was supposed to write when I went broke and started starving will have to wait a little while.

I managed to scrape a few bucks out of Bodog so that will keep me in Hot Pockets and Ramen Noodles for another week.

Just so you guys know Bodog has this glitch where if you sit down it automatically takes your big blind whether you want to post or not and you get no cards. Fun. I called them and they claimed it gets credited back when you play your small blind. I didn't notice that, but what the fuck kind of poker site is that? Must have some top-notch programmers to make sure it gets back to you in the small blind. Good thinking. Problem solved.

One time I sat out a few hands, came back and clicked "Wait for Big Blind" and sat down and Boom, a $10 post goes down. This time I could see my cards and no I didn't get my $10 credit when the small blind rolled around. I was tempted to call them, but I'm superstitious about getting into arguments with poker sites. I would have asked for $20 anyway because a few hands later I checked raised all in when I flopped the nuts with a wrap to a bigger straight and a King-high flush draw and a guy with two pair with no other draw decided to call me.

There are some wild games at Bodog and some terrible players. I've made the most there just pushing in with the nuts. For example in a $5-10 pot limit Omaha game I raised the pot with A-A-2-10 and 2 spades to the Ace. The little blind called and the flop came A, 9, 3 with two spades. I bet the pot expecting to take it there. He called. A seven of spades came on the turn. I bet the pot again and I got put all in by a Jack high flush. His cards Jack, 10, 5, 8.

Bodog started as a Sports Betting site and I get the impression every other poker player just won a parlay and infused with a shot of TV Poker can't wait to jump in some big games and throw some chips around.
