Get one or two of your smart & hot dual-rates(e.g Inez & Isobel) to do a 5minute appearance on the show to promote your "new pink chip poker -- the greatest action game in A.C.". Angelo will drool all over her, tell all the listeners how lovely they are and then let them talk all they want about how great and fun the game is. Crowds will follow! That show has huge ratings w/your core demographic. They've had Borgata Babes on the show regularly, so I'm guessing that they'd be happy to do it.

Doesn't Pinky Kravitz broadcast at the Borgata? Not that I want him to plug the Pink game, even though his name is Pinky (Pincus, I presume). It's just that I have a personal vendetta (something to do with his AC improvement policies and my builiding, and him being a tool of the casino interests), that I must settle by heckling him while he is broadcasting.

I have become the Anti-Pinky, fighting all that is Kravitz, protecting me and the other old people who are residents of the Boardwalk...

By the way, nice formally meeting you sirlurkalot. All I ask is that you do not identify me to other two plus two-ers. Some things are best left to the imagination...

Two questions:

Is the 7.50-15 Omaha 8/b a kill pot?

Does the Omaha play in the BBJ pool, if so what do you need to qualify? If not, why not add it with a quad 8's or better or something?

Another Question. As my wfife plans to play 2-4limit, does that play in the BBJ?

If not, then what limits do play in the BBJ then?

2-4 does play. I believe everything up to 10/20 limit plays. Any higher, it's up to the table to decide if they're going to participate.

Lol he didn't have much of a clue. I thought it was so funny how no one could bust him though he would get down to around $60 and win a big pot.

I'm planning on playing Wed all day. Lets plan on getting the PCG game going please!!!!!!!! I think I might buy in for 4 racks if they let me just so we can make it look like a huge action fest and get a lot of hype out of it.

im thinking about driving up wednesday for the pcg... problem is it's a 2.5 hour drive for me either way, so im not really sure it's worth it $$ wise when you consider parking, gas, toll and food overhead.

I think I was the one that finally busted him. I chatted with him and his brother the next day and they were cool dudes. He said he had a bad beat and just went on monkey tilt the rest of the night lol.

Was the "bad beat" me calling him down with A high?

Anyway, brief report on the game (maybe we need an ***OFFICIAL BORGATA PINK CHIP GAME THREAD***)

I got to Borgata about 6:00 and immediately took an open seat in the game. Pretty standard lineup with a couple of my friends in two of the 5, 6 or 7 seats, I was in 2 or 3 or so, decent player in 4 (or 3 if I was in 2, whatever).

Play was generally pretty loose, with most pots playing for a raise 4 handed or so but most rivers heads up. It got much better closer to 8:30-9:00 or so after some people had some drinks in them and caveman was in full on anytwowilldo mode.

Interesting hands -- I open As5s from mp, get called by caveman in the BB. Flop has 2 spades and gives me a wheel draw. Action is check-bet-call; check-bet-call and caveman donks into me and it smells like a giant FOS bet so I call pretty quickly. Caveman taps the table and turns over KJ on a T high board. Ship it. He then asks how I can call and I tell him "Because I read souls for a living." Table chuckles and he looks confused. Caveman scared. Fire bad.

I have Th7h in MP and open and get called by caveman. Flop is T-T-8. Caveman calls me down and shakes his head after I table trips. Caveman scared. Fire bad. I may have pretipped the dealer while waiting for him to decide whether to call. I know I did that at some point against him as he was making some sort of speech that might as well have been "my hand can't beat yours."

I'm in the BB and my friend opens from MP. I call with T8o and tell him I am going to suck out on him. Flop of J-9-7 accomplishes that nicely.

I'm in the BB with J8o and defend against my friend telling him I am going to suck out on him. Final board of J-T-7-X-9 accomplishes that nicely.

I am in the BB and defend against a pretty good player with 5h4h. Flop is 7-6-J. I c/r, he 3! I call. Turn 3. I c/r and he calls me down.

After all that fun, we went to Old Homestead and ate dead cow. Yummy. We return and I get on the PCG list and sit 3-6 with them while I am waiting. I get called for the game but miss it because the call went a little like this:

DMfor7.5015lastcallforDM7.5015JLfor7.5015

Only complaint I had for the trip there was that call. I think I had about 4 seconds to realize they were calling my name before they gave it away to someone else.

Stan, Here is something actually helpful from what's left of the Trop's poker Room that the Borgata can use:

DM for the PINK GAME!!! DM for the PINK GAME!!!! Last call for DM for the PINK GAME!!!

Do you think there is a chance that the pink game will run during the day? I'm thinking about driving down tomorrow and would love to play.

Meh I'm looking at like 75 dollars of overhead, probably more, for a day trip. Is this worth it for 8-10 hours of pink chipness? haha

Probably not. The game may not get started on Wednesday, and even if it does it probably will not be filled with the same caliber of characters that were in it this weekend.

Please pretty please can we have a pink chip hose game this weekend.....I played both this w/e and wound up having a horse shoe stuck up my azzzz in o8. I honestly made a very, very, very bad reraise on the flop only to realize my mistake on the turn to get there on the river....first time in a long time I was NOT the donk at the table.

Who is in for a pink chip hose this w/e?

for your sake, i truly hope you never need to get a room because that SHE is only THE POKER HOST ... you dumb $hits.... here's hoping you pay exorbitant rates!!!!

its amazing that even in this incredible happening, you guys STILL FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

I don't know if you realize what it took stan and the entire borgata crew to get that game up and running. Approvals, chips dug out from the vault, 50 cent pieces at the cashier windows.... and they did this ALL IN 24 hours because you asked for it. I would love to see you try to go to another casino and say "i want another game. You should do XYZ...." see if they don't laugh at you.

I personally would like to thank everyone who was involved with the implementation of the pink games... i think it is the platform that limit poker needs and if it stays can see great things in its future. Awesome job!

ETA: mods if you feel the need to edit my post, so be it, but if my post gets edited, i would like the racist comments above edited as well. It is inappropriate to refer to people as "IT".

pink chip holdem - Time $5 on the half
pink chip omaha - 5% up to 4$

on pink games you get $2 per hour, just like 10/20.

Acidburr, relax.

The call sucked. It was my only complaint. I talked to stan for about 10 minutes earlier and couldn't have been more impressed. I cared so much about the call that I said screw it and sat back down at the game I was at instead of chasing across the room to lock up a seat.

Just ****ing around here.

Not defending the posters about the asian comment but I don't see the big deal in using "it" since there was never any gender specified in the original post. It is pretty common to use "it" in the place of "he/she" or "that person".

He's a young 22 and has dirty facial hair, prob wearing gym shorts and an ecko t-shirt. Was wondering if he gave u guys a bunch of money? Don't think he drink courvasier tho.
