Like others said about 10/20 limit holdem, if you are playing 1/2 no limit it will be a major change. The 10/20 is a nit feast, the swings are much greater, and it is less profitable. If you really want to make money try 1/2 PLO, it rarely runs but so many inexperienced players, if you know PLO you can crush it since Holdem is such an easy game.

Mini just got hit at a 2/5. QQ vs KK and 3 aces on the board.

That is the easiest way.

Just running down a few of the promotions this month, because they have changed some.

Splash the pot on Tuesdays:

http://www.theborgata.com/casino/pok...splash-the-pot

Now only one table every 30 minutes, but runs from 12:30PM – 10:00PM.

Double comps:

http://www.theborgata.com/casino/pok...-month-2014-09

Only on $5-$10 7 Card Stud and $4-$8 Omaha HL; think this means 3 comp dollars an hour.

End of month bonus comps:

http://www.theborgata.com/casino/pok...ollars-2014-09

Only from the 15th to the 30th. 20 hours for 10 comp dollars, 30 hours for 25.

Something doesn't sound right here:

QUALIFY JULY 1-31:

Play a minimum of 60 live action hours from SEPTEMBER 15-30 and earn BONUS COMP DOLLARS!
Play Hours:
20
30 Receive:

$25

Customer must activate October 6-31, 2014
Customers may activate Bonus Comp Dollars by inserting My Borgata Card into a slot machine or open a table games rating 10/6/14 - 10/31/14. No play required.

The July stuff, I would guess, is just lazy copy and pasting?

There is a good promotion for 4-8 omaha players this month: 2X. Comps

Yeah, I don't think they'd bve running a 4/8 HL game at 930 in the morning without said promotion.

That said, I've not seen a 5/10 stud go off on Bravo yet.

Ok they fixed it, almost, the minimum is not 60 hours, its 20 hours: http://www.theborgata.com/casino/pok...ollars-2014-09

Anyone know what the 10-20 and 20-40 mixed games that have been running are?

10-20 was HOE and 2-7 triple draw I heard

Thanks, sounds pretty sweet

Oh Borgata, how I miss my weekend comps....

Played 2-5 NL with a late 20 something kid who wanted to sit down with like 25,000 in chips at a 2-5nl table and shove like every hand. Whole table agreed of course.

Guys said he was "famous" /other guys said he was big tourney winner and on high stakes poker on TV and one of the really good online PLO players(um not sure about that ). He said he was a trust fund kid from main line, first name Jerry.

Incredibly obnoxious but table let him do what he wanted because he was constantly threatening to leave if he didn't get his way. Think he was just screwing around penny ante 2-5 for ****s and giggles, but curious because he seemed like he could actually play when he wanted to. Anybody know who he is and or what his deal is?

Yeah google harrington25. And I wouldn't complain every 2/5 reg was trying to table change to that game. I would just appreciate the action. Seemed like a fun table to me!

lol bleznick is at the Borg?

Yeah. In high limit as we speak

Oh, don't get me wrong, game was great fun and jerry was entertaining despite being obnoxious. And yes they were 3 deep trying to get on table. One guy bought his seat for $100 from a guy jerry didn't want at his table anymore lol.

I was just trying to describe him best I could. He spewed hard for a couple hours then wandered off to high stakes and game broke soon after. Good times.

That guy was me. I had no idea who he was, but now having learned and listened to his online interview I find it very interesting. He was playing completely recklessly doing things such as raising blind to $300, or reraising people all-in with garbage preflop. I was shocked that some of the Borgata dealers and even the floor didn't know how to handle this situation. One dealer was completely confused and had to call the floor over who wouldn't let him raise blind because it "wasn't his turn". WHAT?? Of course if someone wants to blind raise it's completely legal. Perhaps different casinos have their own rules but a blind raise should certainly be allowed. In my experience, it should go as follows (for a 2-5 game): The action starts at $5 to go. *If* no one raises (either folds or just calls $5), when it gets to the blind raisers position the action becomes $500 to go. *If* someone raises prior to the blind raiser, that effectively changes the action, so the blind raiser has the option of completely taking back his bet and doing whatever he wants. This is not how it was handled - it was handled in a non-uniform fashion depending on the dealer. One dealer didn't let him blind raise, FORCING him to take his chips back after dealing the hand! He called the floor over who confirmed that he couldn't blind bet since it "wasn't his turn", ufb. One dealer held him to whatever chips he put out, regardless of the action in front of him but disregarded his verbal statements. One dealer, a young woman who definitely was the best dealer I had that night, came the closest by holding him to whatever verbal statement or action he made before his action. Her only mistake IHMO was that she didn't give him the option to change his action if there was a raise in front of him. Even so, her handling of Jared and her general dealing speed and professionalism was outstanding. Anyone remember her name?

Jared was either drunk or just plain "having fun" or whatever. However, in retrospect while he obviously is a phenomenal online nose-bleed player, it appears to me that he perhaps doesn't have a ton of live experience. I knew his "trust fund kid" story was a ruse, but the way he was playing and his demeanor didn't give me a clue to his true identity, well played.

As insane and reckless as he was playing he appeared to be very annoyed by players that beat him or, in his mind, didn't want to give him wild loose action back. I beat him in a couple of pots and so he said that if I didn't buy shots of Patron for the entire table, at a personal cost to me of $100+ he wasn't going to play anymore. I was in the process of making that happen for him (with the discreet contributions of other players) but then he started making other wild demands to other players, or else threatening he'd quit the game, so the Patron thing kind of fizzled, a shame. Then he just decided he didn't want to play with me at the table at all. He claimed I was "too tight". He also claimed he just "didn't like me" because of a couple of friendly jokes I made.

Anyhow, everyone at the table was pressuring me to leave, so I acquiesced and sold my seat for a mere $100 to young player who was dying to get in on the action. I could have probably drove a harder bargain with the new player and/or other players at the table, but I wasn't in the mood to haggle and felt like having some drinks myself and relaxing. Fun night.

cool story Rusty.. how much did he end up spewing? and how much was on the table?

Just FYI this question can't be answered here as it would violate B&M rules.

Recent rule change that if the river goes check/check worst position shows first. Just a heads up, I noticed the op had the old rule mentioned.

since when?


And why would someone buy patron in the Borgata booze is free..(I know patron isn't as easy to get if that's your bag of tricks) but audible to grey gooze or put some hair on his chest and get whiskey.

Since a few days ago. Not all dealers know about it yet but floor confirmed it yesterday.

Bout "tree fitty".

Actually about $3,500 before wandering off to the high limit with almost 2 full racks of black and a pumpkin or 2. So yeah good game. There was about $35,000 on the table at one point if you count his whole $24,000 although he basically said he was just covering everyone at table at all times so you could say there was $14,000 in play if only like $3500 of his 24K played .
