Heard the 2-5 is going to be changed to 1k max in the coming days. Will this lead to change the 1-2 to 500 max?

Change the 2/5 to 9 handed if they are raising buy-in

Ugh why are they doing this? This just sounds like Borgata conceding defeat over running steady 5/10 NL games. It's just going to make games at every level tougher and less inviting for recreational players.

New buy-ins, effective tomorrow morning, based on a Twitter post that has since been deleted.

Terrible. Was really hoping 1-2 would go to "super" 100-500

Has anyone inquired about why they won't make the 2/5 9 handed? I know it's been 10 forever but with new buyins should incentavise the change imo

It's timed at $5 per person, so no incentive to make it 9 handed unless Borgata also wants to increase rake to $6 to match the 5/10 which is 9 handed.

With such a reputation of being a player friendly venue, there's no reason not to. I'm just honestly astounded that local regs have not persisted over time to get it to 9. What winning reg would prefer 10???

Did they stop the 2-5 deep?

Imo, 9 isn't for the players, it's for the house. If 90 people in room that's 10 full games instead of 9. I like 9 personally for holdem fwiw. Table is less cramped.

...I'm not convinced that the players who are in that room every day (usually retired people) would prefer it.

I can understand why a lot of players don't like to play shorthanded.

But I can't really see a lot of people preferring 10-handed tables to 9-handed. The effect on play of changing from 10-handed to 9-handed is pretty minimal, but the effect on physical space and comfort at the table is enormous.

"Shorthanded", for a lot of players at the 1/2 level in A.C., means only having 8 or 9 people at the table. Yes, those looking to make money at the game - the good regulars - often do prefer 9 player tables. The rest, who make up the majority of players and who don't even know 2+2 exists let alone post here, prefer 10 person tables.

You can also check in at Water Club if you are not staying there, no reason to stand in long lines ever.

Just realized that the new increase in Resort Fees includes sales tax. This BS as they don't pay taxes on any of these fees...

Are you saying that the Borgata is charging a line item called "sales tax" and then not remitting that amount to the government? What's your source?

Hmm, seems like my statement is not completely right. The $3 occupancy fee is not taxable but any resort fee is taxable at ~13%.

What happened here was that before the Aug 2017 increase, this tax was already included in the $15 total fee taken by Borgata. After the increase this month, the tax is charged extra on top of the $5 hike making it an effective $7.36 increase in resort fees or 49% increase .

Yes I know they call it a "fee" but what is a "fee?"

What is the obsession with taxes and fees?

Is there any sense or consistency yet to when Tier Credits show up on the website?

I played 7/22–23 and the TCs appeared 8/1 (ten days later).
I played 8/5–6 and the TCs appeared 8/10 (four days later).
I played 8/12–13 and the TCs haven't appeared yet, 12 days later.

Express Comps updated immediately (well, by the time I got home, at least) each time.
