I fire more second barrels than I used to, and am more apt to being table captain (playing as a lag) at Bodog since they adjust so horribly to it when I do.

[JDMcNugent7]

are bodog players really alot worse like i have heard?
how many tables can u play at once?

[Boobie Lover]

There is definately a direct corollary between the awfulness of the software and the awfulness of the players that play at that site. If you can stand the software, you will enjoy how many calling stations there are at Bodog.

3 is the max at Bodog. Sadly though, they only have full tables (9 max) above 600 NL.

They largely call me down with anything since I'm running them over so often.

Zybomb makes a good point with his - Firing second barrels at calling stations isn't typically a good idea. If they are calling you down with anything (Ace high?), I'd definitely be less inclined to bluff - especially twice.

[Boobie Lover]

I made a general statement about the amount of calling stations at Bodog compared to other sites. I generally don't two barrel bluff a massive calling station (and I generally stay away from continuation betting if I know they are weak and won't bluff me off if shown weakness). I second barrel bluff against people that I think can laydown second pair if shown aggression. But, if I am playing a maniac style, the people that laydown second pair against me becomes very small, so the amount of calling stations increases. I have been called a moron by at least five regulars because I play too aggressive for them, and they make some idiotic plays when facing me. I hope that made some sense (probably not).

As for results, -3K today. Lost $2K by making dumb moves at 600 NL and then took a shot at 1K NL. I would have been up for the day if I didn't lose a $3K pot as a 85-15 favorite. Sigh.
