Have not played 5/10 at Borgata so can't make that comparison.
However I can discribe how the 5/10 played at Showboat:
Pretty deep stacks...with 800 to 2000 min/max, no really "short stax", I'd say 1/2 the people bought in for full 2K. Good mix of Red, Green & Black on table, not just stax of reds.
Pre-flop - medium Loose (not like 1/2 or 2/5, but people were definately willing to see a flop)
Minimum raise to get people to fold PF was about 40-50...30 didn't get it done.
Post Flop: good action, but not calling down to the river with Middle pair/bad kicker....
The game if definately more than just 5/5 with bigger blinds...the bigger buy-in generated more thoughtful and intelligent play.
Usually by Turn hand would be heads-up
definately heads-up by river.
Average POT size at showdown i'd say was probably 300-400, with those checked down hands around 100 and a couple of reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy big pots with a couple of all-ins.....one hand had a 3-way all in after the flop when QQ, 10-10, & A-Q got all-in on a A-Q-10 flop....sick hand....
With the special tournament this week bringing players in, I know the 5/5 will be going and we should be able to get the 5/10 going as well.....come on by....its a great atmosphere...no one is really playing with scared money so on the whole its a very upbeat table, not a lot of drinking so no real jerks to mess things up.....
Hope to see you there.....
