$300-$1,500

The 1/2 does go sometimes, at least on Saturday nights...though I think about as often they call it and it doesn't. Probably not enough people are willing to play short to get it going and sustain it if there's a lull.

Thanks for the replies.
That buy-in seems pretty high for 2/5!

When the 1/2 PLO does go, what is the buy-in for that?

100–500

The way I heard the story no one deserves
A suspension, points, or termination.

The only dealer error was to deal one player
One card. This happens so often the rule book addresses
It. The rule book states the player can play with
One card. Its virtually impossible for the dealer to know
How many cards each player has after the play
Has begun. And dealing too few cards is not
A termination offense, not even a suspension
Or point mistake. It's a routine dealer error that
Happens once an hour or so, or a similar minor
Error.

I heard that the Borgata now wants to
Collect from the players.

If true, this is another erroneous
Decision on the part of the Borgata because
The decision of the floor is final.
And the Borgata should have enough
Integrity to uphold final decisions
From the floor. ( Or immediately
Allow a shift manager to rule
On a final appeal.)

As this is a teachable moment,
I'd like to address a few of the finer points
Raised, which the VP's at the Borgata
are unaware.

(1) the 2-5 games at the Borgata
Have more electronic devices
On the table than a J&R
electronics store show room
And should not be eligible for the
BBJ.

(2) It's impossible to get the floor
To enforce the rule that the cards
Should be visible to the dealer at all
Times.

(3) This rule is bad. The rule should be that a player's
Cards must be visible to the dealer and all players at the table or
In the hand at all times.

Bad Beat:

4...to qualify for the BBJ
(a) if u have quads, you must have a pocket pair,
(B) both winning and losing hands must use
Both of their hole cards ...

(...I'll wait for additional player commentary before
Offering my opinion on the matter, re: the chickens come home to roost...)

the 2-5 games at the Borgata
Have more electronic devices
On the table than a J&R
electronics store show room

... Just spit my coffee all over my laptop because I was laughing so hard.....so true about the 2-5 Games.....Great Comment Dipce

Happened in a 5-10 game.
That changes my opinion,
In that case the players
Should return the money to
Borgata minus the dealer tip.
I'd let the dealer keep the tip.
I'd also lobby the NJ Legislature
to approve flogging as not inappropriate
or 'cruel And unusual'
Punishment for certain misbehaviors
Of Borgata poker players in the high limit
Room.

I've been wondering about this. I've definitely noticed a change. I always used to receive offers for free rooms Sun-Thurs. Now the offers even for those nights is limited to the $69/night rate. I don't understand why my offers are worse even though my play is a little higher than it used to be. I've meaning to ask someone in the poker room about it, but I don't know who to speak to.

Anybody else?

Maybe the Sun–Thur discount/comp line moved a little and you went from the right side to the wrong side. If you're playing just a little more, it'd take time to move your average, which looks back three months, I think. (Or is it six?) The host in the back might be able to shed some light. I wouldn't expect the regular floors/shifts to know much about it.

I maintain an 11–12 hour average and haven't seen a drop in comps. November is getting a bit spotty (Teacher's Convention takes out the middle), but I can have any night in December or January free. (Except 12/31 and, oddly, Sunday 1/28.)

didn't see any changes either

I agree with mxp in that there does appear to have been some small adjustment toward giving out less rooms, but it's not drastic.

Not quite accurate. Some peoples comps were not loaded correctly if you had an active Mlife in the last year when they combined the accounts.

Bit of a cluster. I had all weekend and weekday comps to ZERO comps (and it is still not fixed)

Have to now speak to Mabel to get my rate restored and can only book rooms through her right now as well.

She is the poker room host and you can find her in there and she will try to look at your accounts

How many hours of 1-2 are required to reach the highest tier of Borgatas rewards program?

I was informed that Harrahs will not tier match Borgata; can anyone clarify?

The highest tier (Noir) is "by invitation only". So I'd be surprised if you could get there with 1/2.

Platinum would take 1778 hours. (200,000 TCs at 112.5 per hour).

Gold (667 hours) is the old Black. Platinum vs. Gold doesn't add too many benefits unless shopping, the spa/salon or slot points are important to you.

Platinum bypasses line in regular buffet (supposedly you can also get evian outside high limit poker room, there might be some other unlisted perks that I don't know about)

no amount of poker at any limit would get you Noir

The borgata day starts and ends at 6am. This can effect your average if you play overnight.

Say you play two sessions on a trip at 10 hours each. 20 hours.

If both sessions start at 3pm and end at 1am, that's both within one day. So you have a two day average of 10 hours.

If you start both at 1am and end at 11am, half of your session is one day and the other half is for the 2nd day.

So if it's Monday night at 1am, a 10 hour session is 5 hours towards Monday and 5 towards Tuesday. The next session at 1am is 5 hours towards Tuesday and 5 hours towards Wednesday. Same 20 hours, 3 day average of 6.667.

The person who played within the two days still reflects a 10 hour average because they logged zero minutes of play on Wednesday. If they logged 1 hour of play, their average would drop to 7.

Total Rewards (Bally's, Harrah's and Caesars) did do a status match for a bit a couple months ago. From borgata, the listed accepted card was the black label. I took my old black label card (expiration May 2018) and I was matched to diamond. By old I mean the mlife switch was done a week or two after I obtained black label that expires in 2018. Diamond only valid until January 2018 though. Not sure if they'll accept mlife gold.

what airport would be my best option to fly into atlantic city?

atlantic city airport?

i cant find a direct flight from chicago airports there everything has a crazy travel time seems extremely odd

Next best thing would be Philly, its like an hour pr so car ride.

Maybe Trenton-Mercer too, it's a small airport.
