I'd argue most dealers who floor are actually terrible dealers (from seeing who most of the dual rate people are.) The good dealers don't want to floor because they make more money dealing and deal with less bull****.

Holy **** it's about time they fixed this. That was such a terrible rule.

Yeah, always seemed a bit strange to me that there could be a pot, one player with a live hand, and anything else that needed to be done.

Like the dealer would ask you to show both and one was left to wonder what could possibly happen to the pot if you didn't?

At any rate, it's fixed now. Seems like no one has a problem with it (unlike all the other ones!).

I saw some guys muck like half a second after their opponents did. It's definitely going to cause some confusion if a dealer ever is not paying good attention or something. I'm never mucking face down until well after I've been pushed the pot... but it seems plenty of others have no problem practically throwing their hands on top of their opponents before they've even landed in the muck.

Any chance we could get an actual picture or pdf of the new rules uploaded here?

Also, would probably be a good idea to update the faq in the first post of this thread with the relevant new rules (eg, lobby function now being used).

As I mentioned, I'm planning on that as soon as I get all the solid info.

i don't think i would accept that ruling. i'm pretty sure i'd either get paid or i'd have security or police have to take me away. the guy should go to the gaming commission and file a complaint. he's not getting paid because the staff didn't follow their own procedures?? if he was paid by mistake you can be sure they'd go get their money back.

Yep exactly, it was the dealers fault for saying there was no royal promotion, and mucking the board.

And the floor management just basically did nothing but say the floor has to verify it in person.

These are great changes; I always thought the suit thing was weird for chops.

I wonder if the lobbying/absent button stuff will work. If so, hopefully MDL can learn and implement.

Guys question. I've done well with 2/5 here on the weekends. I am interested in coming up to the Borgota one of the weekends during the Winter Open end of January. My question is, would you say the cash games are juicier (more fish drawn cause of the big tournaments) OR the opposite, harder to beat (more pros coming to down for the big touranemtns). Which would you say happens?

A little of both. Depends upon your table. I will tell you this much. The waiting list for cash games is very long especially during the more popular events and alot of the action will spill over into Harrah's and the Golden Nugget. So game choice doesn't really become an option. If you hwt a transfer it will be to another random table. If you're disciplined you'll do well.

bottom line is there will be more action... and long waits (which sometimes causes guys to play a little looser when they finally get to the table... and also makes guys less willing to take a break)

i'm not sure about 2-5. more action.. but not sure if i'd say games are easier or not.

for 1-2 i'd say games are easier. you get a lot of the guys that got knocked out of the tourney that are pretty bad in cash games or don't have the roll for anything but the lowest game or are drinking or killing time so they're just splashing around in 1-2.

i used to make sure i was at borgata during their tournament series and would play 1-2 almost exclusively for these reasons (i play 1-2 more than 2-5 anyways though so take that as you like).

guys tend to play more like a tourney though... be ready for people going to war with AK every time they get it.

I will concur with that. Tilted guys getting knocked out of tourneys always makes for profitable 1/2 games there during the opens. But again the waits. 1/2 and 2/5 NLH could both be over 100 names deep and 5/10 all PLO will be 60 deep. Then higher stake games will be 35 deep on the waiting lists. They will call new 2/5 tables more than any other game if you pay attention during these times. That's probably to keep the core base happy and a lot of pros will sit in 2/5 at tourney stops. I would say come on by for sure. just bring a book to help pass the time maybe.

I bet they do for a high level slot/pit game degenerate. Just did so elsewhere for my wife who is s slot degenerate. The fifteen is nothing much to us but the idea of it did not sit well. When her host came by as he does when she plays just a mention of it and he say don't worry it will gone. It was.

Do you guys think 20/40lh will run mon-thu during the 2 milly?

If the intrest list is there they'll call it eventually. The 40/80 too. If the game isn't a go relatively fast they'll dcrsp ot and move on to different game type ie; PLO OE etc

Bravo says 40/80 o.o.e is running. Omaha 8 stud 8 and can someone tell me what the other o means please

Two rounds of Omaha for every stud round

Interesting ty

This happened at our table 2 weeks back, somebody hit a royal on the turn, and the 10 seat said royal, the dealer said no high hand today, he said royal royal, dealer starred like an idiot, and then we called over the shift manager, it then took 5 minutes to verify the hand, this was a 2/5 time game. Borgata is going down the drain, once north jersey and New York opens casinos, the poker room at Borgata will be dead.

Will be traveling to AC this weekend. Probably bringing $5000 to play the cash games and was wondering if they are quick about credit applications? I have the $5000 in bank but I always hate bringing so much cash with me thru train and bus. I applied for the credit and have some questions.
1) The $ limit requested is covered and readily available in my checking account, are they generally good about approving credit applicants?
2) Will I be able to take out a marker to use the funds to play poker? From what I read it sounds like markers are used mainly to play table games against the house which I am not interested in playing.

Hopefully they'll approve me.

you can just wire the money ahead of time. just call the main number. the money will be waiting for you.

How do the January bonus comp dollars work? Bravo app says play at least 60 hours in January to qualify. So let's say one plays 70 hours. What bonus would they get? Are bonus comp dollars any different from regular comp dollars?

Bonus dollars work the same as regular, except that they don't count toward Black Card totals.

if your credit history is good I don't see why they won't approve you quickly.
I applied in the casino credit department, the whole thing took maybe 10-15min and I play absolutely nothing but poker

Weird, I asked about this once at the Bellagio in Vegas, and they told me the markers could only be issued for use in the pits for table games, not for poker. Maybe they just didn't want to deal with me, who knows.
