Re: Borgata Poker Thread

I often smell it in the entire bathroom especially on weekends but it's strongest nearest the stalls because that is where the smokers sneak their smokes.

Kvitlekh.....Would love to see a new rule book clearly state that there is no smoking in the bathroom. The tiny sign when you walk in is definately not working. Great idea!

Re: Borgata Poker Thread

Borgata Rule Book, Page 13 2C

A player who goes broke and wishes to to re-enter the game shall be treated as a new player with regard to the blinds, once he had missed his big blind.

This would mean that if a player UTG goes broke and wants to re-enter the game, (missing the big blind) he/she will be treaded as a new player and the player shall post the BB or wait for the blinds to come back around.

Re: Borgata Poker Thread

Mods, can we please start a Borgata bathroom smoking CONTAINMENT thread? The amount of posts that are devoted to this stupid little issue is ridiculous. It has already been said: if the smell of smoke is that offensive to you, go to the bathroom by the music box. I would also like to add that if it was such a legitimate health issue, you probably should not be going to the Borgata at all as you are likely to encounter smoke in many places.

What's up Chris, I assume you are the same Chris from last weekend who wore the WPT hat and helped me get the game started short handed on Sunday

Anyway, I should be down for some PLO action at the Borgata when I come down around Friday/Saturday this weekend.

Understood.

What about the player who goes broke in the BB and misses his SB? Does he owe it? If yes, why wouldn't you make the UTG player who missed both blinds post the SB as well behind button?

This IS the official Borgata poker thread, and since the smoking complaints are about ILLEGAL activities that occur within the domain of the official Borgata poker room, this certainly seems to be the most appropriate forum for the discussion. Telling people to avoid the issue will not help at all. It actually is more useless as a post than the original complaints.

And anyway, do you really think I've never smelled cigarette smoke in that bathroom? I think I've detected smoke in almost every bathroom on the property. The complaints here are only about the poker room bathroom, not the equally malodorous ones throughout the building. There are still a few bathrooms that most people don't know about, in relatively quiet locations, that are still unadulterated. Obviously I must keep the locations a secret, lest the instigators infiltrate those last vestiges of clean air.

The complaints here will magically cease if/whenever management decides to do something about it.

Yea, because once the rule is officially in the rule book, that should do it.
