it will likely continue past this weekend but they have some major problems here IMO
(1) this is the soft opening; hard to think that anyone involved with this room is happy right now; hopefully, more players will show up today
(2) i do not think it was wise to open a poker room in the winter in A.C.; i think that May would have been better; i know that is the soft opening but no one other than locals and old people are really down in A.C. during the week in the winter time
(3) they are pissing off the grinders because of the necessity to raid the BBJ to cover these guarantees; however, they have to offer the guarantee to get new players or entice former players to come check out the room
(4) there is just too much competition for this place, i.e., they are never going to compete with the Borgata or Parx and they even compete with themselves with Harrah's Chester
(5) online poker is a lot easier for New Jersey poker players now & players like me just stay home & play online now; the only reason that i am playing live later today in this room is because of the guarantee; i would never come down without the guarantee
i think this will last a few more weekends but unless about 125+ players start showing up pretty soon, i agree that the $25,000 guaranteed tourney might be dead
