Isn't the rake 10% up to $4?

5% is correct. Same as 10-20 Omaha H/L

There was a lot of "debate" at the pink chip game as to whether it should be 10% to 4 or a time charge. I tried to figure out what would be best for me, as a winning nitty player, and figured the 10% to 4 would probably be marginally better. I think this is pretty close to a flip, but I'd be curious to see what others think.

If they were not raking for the BBJP, I would slightly prefer time.

I appreciated the auto folds, so that I could buy the button with my monstrous KTo and J8s..I know you guys liked it when i showed those down

It was fun

Omaha is a slower game. Time charge just wouldn't be right.

Anyway, brief report on the game (maybe we need an ***OFFICIAL BORGATA PINK CHIP GAME THREAD***)

I got to Borgata about 6:00 and immediately took an open seat in the game. Pretty standard lineup with a couple of my friends in two of the 5, 6 or 7 seats, I was in 2 or 3 or so, decent player in 4 (or 3 if I was in 2, whatever).

Play was generally pretty loose, with most pots playing for a raise 4 handed or so but most rivers heads up. It got much better closer to 8:30-9:00 or so after some people had some drinks in them and caveman was in full on anytwowilldo mode.

Interesting hands -- I open As5s from mp, get called by caveman in the BB. Flop has 2 spades and gives me a wheel draw. Action is check-bet-call; check-bet-call and caveman donks into me and it smells like a giant FOS bet so I call pretty quickly. Caveman taps the table and turns over KJ on a T high board. Ship it. He then asks how I can call and I tell him "Because I read souls for a living." Table chuckles and he looks confused. Caveman scared. Fire bad.

I have Th7h in MP and open and get called by caveman. Flop is T-T-8. Caveman calls me down and shakes his head after I table trips. Caveman scared. Fire bad. I may have pretipped the dealer while waiting for him to decide whether to call. I know I did that at some point against him as he was making some sort of speech that might as well have been "my hand can't beat yours."

I'm in the BB and my friend opens from MP. I call with T8o and tell him I am going to suck out on him. Flop of J-9-7 accomplishes that nicely.

I'm in the BB with J8o and defend against my friend telling him I am going to suck out on him. Final board of J-T-7-X-9 accomplishes that nicely.

I am in the BB and defend against a pretty good player with 5h4h. Flop is 7-6-J. I c/r, he 3! I call. Turn 3. I c/r and he calls me down.

After all that fun, we went to Old Homestead and ate dead cow. Yummy. We return and I get on the PCG list and sit 3-6 with them while I am waiting. I get called for the game but miss it because the call went a little like this:

DMfor7.5015lastcallforDM7.5015JLfor7.5015

Only complaint I had for the trip there was that call. I think I had about 4 seconds to realize they were calling my name before they gave it away to someone else.

I remember you, I was in seat 6 both days. I was happy when you left and left the caveman to me.

What is with the floor people referring to each other as "CUZ" as if they are talking to one of their homeboys on the street?? They will be like, "Yo CUZ! drop the time" or a dealer will be checking change and they will say, "ok CUZ!". They wear a fancy suit to look professional, and then the crap that comes out of their mouth makes them sound like they barely made it past high school. Very unprofessional imo.

I would expect that any cashier outside of the poker room would've had the change, since they're used to dealing with slot vouchers. I know the poker room cashier won't cash slot vouchers and I assume lack of change is part of the reason.

That will never happen, there is no chance you will ever win a 2nd pink chip!

You are incorrect.

There is no chance I will ever lose another pound...

What in Omaha qualifies for the bad beat? Is it also quads or better (using a pair in your hand?)

thanks.

no bad beat in omaha, unless they changed it. None in stud either.

Hey Stan

What have the numbers been for the Wed morning 11am Tourney. Last week was big, but was that just a blip or has it been consistently large fields over the summer?

And how late can you register for it as well?
