Borgata floor is a complete joke. I was playing a sitngo the other night, 3 handed i fold btn, sb (who has 3 bbs left) pushes, bb tanks then while this is going on sb flashes bb an ace and bb folds. If thats not bad enough on its own, up until this point they were both being little btches towards me anyway since i refused to chop the tourny/last longer so they kept making comments how they would chop once they knock me out. Anyway floor is called and the dealer tells him what happened and the only thing the floor does is tell them to not do it again. Looooooool ok whatever, i cancelled the rest of my stay there since they obviously dont mind blantent cheating. F U borgata.

uh...what did you want the floor to do?

Sounds like your gripe is with the two people you were playing, not Borgata. But misplaced anger is cool too.

Are you serious? So people can show eachother their cards without worrying about any kind of penalty and theres nothing the floor can do about? That makes ALOT of sense.

What exactly do you think the floor should have done? Players like to chop. This type of talk happens in all tournaments.

Stan

You didn't mention that the first time.

Stan

Showing a card, like that, justifies a one round sit out penalty. Continued collusion (cheating) justifies harsher penalties up to disqualification. It's too bad that some dealers and/or floor people do not know the rules, or are used to cheating, or don't want to take a stand and make a ruling, taking the easy way out and letting it go.

What didnt I mention the 1st time?

And I think something other than just a warning should be given for such obvious colusion

I misread the post. I thought I read that as the bb was folding the sb showed an ace. In this case the following should occur

1st time = Warning
2nd time = Hands away penalty

Stan

So basically you have one chance to collude, after that is when the cheaters have to be careful?

I'm here blogging the entire Borgata Summer Open. Check out coverage of all the events here



Congrats to Richard Maurer who won the Heads Up Championship

Whats the min bi for 1/2?

$60

1/2 NL is $60-$300
1/2 PLO (a real man's game) is $100-$500

Just wondering because I might be bringing a complete newb to the games and I think it would be easier just to tell her how to short stack so she can sit there drink some drinks and maybe make a little something while I do my thing

lol lots of help itt thanks. Just out of curiosity whats the min bi for the 25/50 game when its running? 1k?

What's the reasoning behind no food at the tables in Borgata - I love long sessions - 10-15 hours and hate to leave the table to eat - Would be great if we could get food at the tables...

would u like to scrub tomato sauce from the tables and dirty the chairs with mayonaise? or mess up the cards or something? come on man use common sense
i hate seeing ppl eat at the tables

this IS the reasoning behind no food at the table AFAIK

hate when some greasy slob is at my table eating and getting food and junk all over the felt, cards and chips

I hate when people eat at the table, especially when you just get to the table. This dbag brought a greasy ass cheese steak with him to a 1/2 table today at another place and ate it. Like seriously dude, you can wait 10 minutes to sit down and eat your food elsewhere...

Borgata is one of the few places that get this right in AC
