First trip i played a VERY modest amount of poker, like 2-3 hrs a day. was playing mostly low stakes table games with my wife. I figured I wouldnt get comp offers, but my offers would at least budge a bit, but they didnt even change at all, borg treated it like I didnt even show up.
Most recent trip, I was something like 2/6/6/4 and also got 4 “points” (i guess a point is 150 tier credits = 1 hr of poker at 2/5+) between friday and saturday, not sure which day I got the points. So I didnt seem to hit the 15 express comps threshold, although I fell not too far short for fri-sun, and may have gone over one day. Also I hope the 2 hrs I played when i got in at like 1 AM thursday night/fri AM didnt “hurt” my average. Would I really have been better off for comps to just go play at harrahs and not even show up to the borg thurs?
As far as the OP, fair enough, it seems I didnt hit the “modest” amount of hours from the forum, and maybe that is a modest number for grinders. I personally wouldnt consider 7.5/10 hrs a modest amount of hours per day. Thats a full work day and then some. Doable certainly but not modest, and do wish I had this info before I went. I would say at minimum, remove the word “modest”, and put the 7.5/10 hr amount as a “general guidelne”, because at least I felt misled. The vegas poker room rates require 6 or 8 hrs/day/room, so 2 person room =3 or 4 hrs per day per person, I guess thats about what id expect for modest.
And for wheoever asked if this was just for next week, I just looked thru for cheapest days. My cheapest offers are $109 Sun-thurs, $249 fri, $319 saturday, with the vast majority of offers higher than that, Most are much higher, may is like $449+ in sat. I would think... that there wouod at least be an in between where I can get like.... $79 sun-thurs, $189 fri, $249 sat foe the amount I played, but these prices, although I guess slightly lower than I was seeing before, is still astronomical. Like damn, who is paying $500 including fees to stay at the borg for a night?
Anyway, good info, I guess Ill give it another try and hit the 7.5 hrs/day.
