Bodog’s Mini-SOP Starts May 30
For those of us who aren’t able to make it to Las Vegas for the 2008 World Series of Poker, Bodog is hosting a Mini-SOP tournament. According to a May 26, 2008 press release by Bodog:
“Bodog today announced that it is launching a new online poker tournament series this summer that will mirror all 25 Holdem events of the 2008 World Series of Poker* in Las Vegas at just a fraction of the buy-in. The Bodog Poker Mini-SOP will run from May 30-July 3, with each tournament held on the same date as its counterpart in Las Vegas but with buy-ins equal to just 1 percent of the actual buy-in of the WSOP* Event.”
One percent, that’s a price tag I can afford! I can play in the Main Event of the Mini-SOP for a $100 buy-in, much better than the $10,000 buy-in for the World Series of Poker. Plus I can play from the comfort of my own home. Of course playing in the Bodog Mini-SOP will be nothing like playing in the WSOP but it is a fun and cheap alternative. Bodog plans to cap off their event with a tournament which will award three seats to the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event. Nothing like planning ahead for next year!
See you on Bodog!

WOW what an opportunity for practicing all of the events at a cost that is nominal, as well as an opportunity to enter the WSOP. The new color format is extremely easy to read and very eye catching.
