i'll keep this thread going cause i'm also going to the borg later this month, and i plan on playing this game.
Last time i played, i think I played someone with a goatee at 5/10 who I remember not being terrible (it was the highest game going at the time, but i was obv too much of a nit and pussy to play higher anyway). He seemed very bored with the lower stakes and was very bluff-happy; he was probably the most aggro player at the table. I called a river bet against him with 3rd pair and it was good against his air. He also complained a lot about the capped buyin at 5/10 because it took away his ability to "make plays." When they started up a 10/25 game he bolted for it. Was this Troy?
edit: also, most other people at 5/10 were nits and/or complete clowns. I hope it's the same way at 10/25.
You'll have to give more of a description than just saying he has a goatee.
Lenny has a goatee. He has dark hair, is medium height and is pretty heavily muscled. He usually seems to wear a baseball cap.
I don't know which one of the regulars is Troy.
The majority of regulars play a very tight and straight forward game. Most of them also have furious tempers, which is bizarre considering anyone who plays for a living should be pretty used to bad beats. It seems to be normal for them to freak out over small pots, or even because they have not been dealt a playable hand in a couple orbits. I'm talking about most of them, not all of them.
The guy you are talking about is probably Lenny. He is very good, and is not one of the emo tilters.
Another guy you really want to watch out for is Fish, because he is definitely pulling in 6 figures
(Fish is a gopher for the high stakes room and yes he rakes in the cash)
