I'll give you a few good & a few bad points (imo, fwiw).
Fulltilt has far better software (they were rated #1 in '08 by Bluff Mag.).
Bodog's has a few chinks in it I don't like... for one you can only open a maximum of 4tables. Worst part about their software (imo) is the HandHistory feature (the one to review the hand that just played out). It really sucks! You have to type in the hand '#' in order to get the hand to come up (tedious & time consuming while playing).
Also, for some reason while I'm running Bodog on my computer it seems to mess everything else up. I will occassionally have 3 or 4 sites up & running, with a couple/few tables on each BUT when I"m on Bodog, if I even run one other site I'll often run into problems (freeze-ups). Also, 2 tables seems to run okay on Bodog but when I've got more than 2, just seems to screw with it (I do only have 1GB Ram but that's never been an issue while on other sites).
Bodog has far softer tables in the micro buyin levels.... their SNG's have some of theeee worst players in them that you'll see anywhere (TitanPoker comes close behind).
As mentioned above, Bodog also has 'Beginner' SNG tables ($2 buyin, top 5 of 10 get paid.... sort of like a DoN (double or nothing) but there is a graduated payout. Pretty hard to lose in one of those games.... although there is alot of donking in the early levels (play your big hands 'fast'.. value bet the hell out of them).
Bodog doesn't have any micro level cash tables.... lowest is 10NL.
Player traffic on Bodog is alot smaller than Fulltilt (but you will find games to play... it's not like you have to wait for eons for a table to fill up).
A good feature on Bodog is that they also have SportsBetting, which you can access from the same account you play poker on (ie. you could bet on UFC MMA fights, minimum bet is $1).
Hmm... what else?? I play at Fulltilt alot and very little on Bodog. I just don't like it much. Some folks swear by Bodog and will predominantly play on there (my guess is because the tables are sooooo soft, TONS of weak players on them😡!).
hope that helps you out a bit
