LOL that is the best story ever. Can you post this in BBV4L?...If you don't, I will.

Just saw this and was going to post it in BBV4L but you beat me to it. Surprised there haven't been any Pics or GTFO yet. But maybe its because I didn't post it...

Sorry I couldn't wait. Response isn't so great, but you should post in there with some more details. I can't believe she took the money hahaha.

learn to play post flop imo

Maybe its just my luck with table's there but the few times I've played 1/2 nle there has been about 3 people with huge stacks 1k+ at the table, a bunch of kids who play really tight and buy in for less than $100 and about 3-4 others. I never saw a hand where the flop was shown for 2 bucks. Every hand was raised to $25-30. Maybe it's just me but I don't like a game like that, esp with $300 max buy in. The room is immaculate but I'll stick to fishing at Ceasers.

Quick Borg Comp points question.

I know that food areas in the food court/starbucks redeem comp points as 2/1 dollar value.

Is this the same at the sit down restaurants (like Noodles of the World etc?) Or is it 1/1 value at the restaurants.

Also if you had 500 points just to blow, what would you get?

The food court/retail stores are the only 2/1 places. The sit down places and I think Bread/Butter is 1/1.

500 points that were expiring today? I'd probably hit up SeaBlue or Old Homestead.

...and Wolfgang Puck's American Grill right next to the poker room is 1/1 also. Good and quick food.. just sit and the bar and eat there.

bleh who the heck puts corn on pizza??? (even my mother doesn't do that, but only because she doesn't make pizza, ldo)

I'd go to the spa and get a 50-min massage for you and your girl ($165 each, after tip/tax). If you need a haircut, the barbershop is $30, I think. I'd use the remaining for a nice meal at Old Homestead (not a big fan of Bobby Flay's).

Is the 5/10 LHE game still running at B or did it die?

I'm considering a trip to play teh minbet pokerz, I think it's time.

Also, how about the 10/20? Is it red or blue chip game?

Good ideas, so no really shopping opportunities? Like Foxwoods has an apple store (got an iphone through wampums before) anything like that available at the Borg shops?

10/20 is played with red $5 chips, so is 20/40.

Comps expire after 9 months, right? If I have $175 comp dollars, $30 of which are expiring this month and I spend $30 of my comps, are they taken from the expiring dollars, or will Borgata still take $30 away at the end of the month?

What stakes does PLO run at?

I'll be there 3/20-3/22. Would be up for PLO but not very high -- maybe 2/5 at most.

Comp dollars are good for 6 months only and yes, they use the "older" ones first.

I bought a couple of very nice room towels in the shop across from the poker room, might have been 1:2 comp dollars.

Gonna play this Sunday in the $165 + $35 satellite (for the $1.5k Borgata Deepstack March 21-24th). Anybody have a guess at how many players this will get? I know it's up against a $300 event at the WSOP circuit.

2 things...

first, 5 pages and not one mention of the chip issues?

second, if we all agree the best players in the city play at the Borg,why would I go there when people at other places are just giving their money away?

NJ,

Depending on what stakes you play there may or may not even be a game to play at the other casinos.

Borg consistently has 10+ 1/2NL games running and almost as many 2/5NL games.

What other casino in AC will have 4 10/20NL tables and a wait list?

The reason to go to Borgata is clear, the volume is so much higher than everywhere else that the fish still outnumber the sharks by a wide number.

As for the chips, it's been beaten more than Tina Turner so what's the point? They suck. We know they suck. There are reasons why they use them.

beaten more than Rihanna?

about the limit games, i didnt really think about that. point taken. i mostly play 2-5 NL, with 5-10NL here and there.

I find the NL games at the Borg to be a big shoot it up, flop a draw shove, variance fest like the NYC clubs use to be. and in the world of the online players and infinite hands thats not a big deal or consideration, but pretty annoying to someone who exclusively plays live.

You just described the most profitable type of game. What are you looking for, a nit fest where you're stealing the blinds once or twice per round?

Besides, it can be tough to even get into a 2/5nl game (and forget about 5/10nl) at most of the other casinos in town. At the Borg, you can actually game select.

I disagree.

I think the most profitable games in AC are the games where players are loose passive and never put you to decisions.

It allows you to get max value when you make hands, and also run big bluffs when the situation presents itself.

The best games are the ones where people put you to the least amount of decisions, at the Borg people are constantly putting you to the test.

For instance the Trop is filled with old men who never put pressure and have endless cash and the Taj is filled with redneck degens who have no idea how to play anything but a pair and go to the grave with it.

as much as you may love to get it in with AKo v. QJd on a Kd 9d x flop, I dont really like being put in that spot to call and then for it to hold over and over again. it MAY be the most profitable if you can play 40k hands, but when you play 15 hands a half and have a normal life and cant play for 80 hours straight, its def NOT the best game.

Borgata has the most 2/5 games going consistently, however you can find a regular 2/5 game elsewhere. Also, the 5/5NL at Harrah's and 2/5 $1k max at Taj are VERY good games.

Borgata, however will always have a bigger selection. I wish they spread 2/5 $1k max tho.

Fine. Then change tables. At the Borg you'll have a choice.

And, btw, the 2/5nl games at the Borg are super easy to crush. Like "win 3/4 of your sessions for an average of $50/hour" crush. See my post earlier in the thread.

I keep seeing people post that the best players play at Borg. Why do you think that is. . . ?
