Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa (Atlantic City, NJ) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.08.16 - Page 1013 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

We let's get a feature game of the month for November, what limit Razz do you guys want? 4/8, 5/10 8/16, 10/20? I prefer at least a 5/10 so I can make some money at the game, would love to play that game and watch first time players raise with a face card showing

whatever limits you guys want, I'm down for. fridays and saturday are best for me! Even if it's the "featured" game, we'd probably have to set up a time to actually get it running

On average how many entries are there in the $120 7pm MTT on Monday and on Friday?

Prob 40-500 $100-200 is standard. (However I'm basing it off of experince playing 4-8 LHE at other casinos than Borgata)

Waterfront Buffet @ Harrah's is also good, I feel about tied with B, all the others pale in comparison

Sundays are best for me but I can do Friday nights as well. Saturday is the wife's day. I'm in for the weekend of the 17th set up the time. Got an out of state wedding next week. Love to hang with some 2+2 people as well.

When was the last time you went to Harrah's? The Borgata buffet is much better, I would say 3-5 years ago yes Harrah's was better not anymore.

When is the fall/winter open or whatever it is called?

If it is not in November then I will tell Vinny that a bunch of 2+2 guys want RAZZ to be the feature game of the month. 4/8 is a little low for me, but if it is the only way to attract players let's go for it, I am running awful anyway and low forward to having horrible hands and taking down a lot of pots. If anybody sees Vinny before next week tell him also, I won't be in in the B until next Saturday.

now that I think about it, first time was probably about 3 years ago, and last time maybe a year or so ago and it was much better the first time..but still better than the others in AC,

The Winter Open series will be the second half of January.

The Fall Open series starts Nov 4 and ends the 21st:

I'd be interested in this too, so go for it....but I expect the answer will be a no. After Borgata got approved to spread Razz, there were games going the first couple of days but then it stopped. You'll find Razz only as part of a higher-limit mixed game.

Also, although it's less than a week into the month, so far neither of the 2 featured games (5-10 Stud, 6-12 LHE) has gotten off the ground...

Meanwhile, the 4-8 Omaha game did go on Fri and Sat. Perhaps it can build a base and some momentum to keep going.

Pineapple/crazy pineapple would be a good idea for a featured game, since it's not a big stretch from the main 1-2 NLHE games.

Does anyone think that Borgata would give away a car each week (for a month) as a promotion?

Telling him you can get one game to go once or twice a week isn't going to cut it.
