does anyone play there?
I'm thinking of depositing some $ there, 10% no max bonus... how hard are these to clear?

I can't comment on how hard it was to clear the bonus (I don't remember how I trackedd it, but I cleared $100 easily enough), but it's a good site. I don't play cash games there, but they have decent tourneys. Their interface still bugs me a bit, but you can not pass up the overlays on ALL of their big tourneys.

Definitely worth checking out. And I may be able to give you a little sumthin sumthin too...

Bodog has some weird policy of only having a few shorthanded tables going, none of which include NL. Thus, I don't play cash games there.

I play tournaments there whenever I feel like playing one. The bonus is a good thing since it is basically 100% rakeback if you play tournaments, and the weekly guarantees always have a big overlay.

yea i agree their overlay is horrible. i cant stand it. Its practically the worst i've seen, up there with ultimate bet. CD Poker has a very nice overlay, just not too many players.

I think you misunderstood what TP meant by overlay. I believe you meant it as interface, but TP meant it as the overlay in the guaranteed tournaments. For example, the prizepool for the 100K guaranteed only gets 75K. Thus, there is a 25K overlay. I agree though that the interface needs some work.
