57 people on 2/5 really shouldn't be all that rediculous of a wait with 16 tables running.

I've been in the 30s-40s on the 5/10 list twice this week so far and never waited more than 45 min for a seat. They have been pretty slow managing the must moves but have been pretty good about calling names/getting people in games considering how busy it is imo.

The decision to keep a high hand promo going during wpt really takes the cake.

Since it's only 50+ tables with 100's people on the list floors are clearly bored and have nothing better to do.

I'm guessing around 100 ppl for the $560 HORSE event. Over/under?

Action has been great so far this series. Staff has done a fine job. Waits have been healthy but reasonable. Poker players love to whine.

6PM Saturday, 120 on the list for 1-2 and 90 for 2-5. I took a seat at 10-20 limit (no list for that, unusually!) thinking it would be a long wait. Within half an hour of opening tables and clearing people who were no longer waiting, both 1-2 and 2-5 were open seating. When the 10-20 must-move broke up a little while later I got a 1-2 seat with no wait.

I think he should be given a pardon.
(He is not using foul language or
Disrespecting the cocktail waitresses
Or harming any players, except the
Peace and quiet of the
Octogenarians who object when
Anyone has fun and is not
As miserable they are.)
The Professional should be allowed
to kick things up a notch,
At least for the Chinese New Year Celebrations,
January 26-February 3.
A poker room with the Professional
Silenced, is a boring poker room.

Or one where he's losing.

Great poker series at Borgata as usual. Huge turnouts, and great structures. Oh and the video games were a nice touch. Haven't played donkey kong in years.

However, I do hate the new food court. Looks like a money grab by getting rid of all the "name" places.

It's a money grab because of the 2-1 comps.

The buffet and Amphora lounge remain
The best deals in town for comps.

No more Hibachi San??????????

What did I miss?

Tab Duchateau (@TabDuchateau) tweeted at 11:38 AM - 31 Jan 2017 :

1312 entries for the WPT Borgata Winter Open Championship. 1st place over 900k. Paying 130. As always, Thank You to all that played. (http://twitter.com/TabDuchateau/stat...502285314?s=17)

Nope it's gone. One of my favorite places.

They had video games available to play up in the tournament area.

I'm probably going to do this in a couple threads but any chance of running a PLO / NL Holden game say nL 2/5 / PLO 1/2 ?

the problem with this is you have to play half nl. almost any time ive played half a half the game just becomes all plo in an hour or two.

how big does that 1/2 plo game run?

yep no one ever got unstuck by folding, with 4 cards you have no reason to fold

varies

sometimes it's 9 nits nursing tiny stacks and arguing whether dead sb counts towards the pot (more often than not)

sometimes back-to-back $2K pots

i've played in it about 10 times and it's usually a bunch of nits who never raise pre. a couple of times it was really good with straddling or a 5 dollar bring in and people actually raising and 3 betting.

Played last night after a long layoff from AC.

Got seated at a fairly non-descript table at the front for $1/2. Play on tilt in seat 5 blows $200+ in about 5 hands and I take his seat.

Dealer change.

Throw a few hands away with the new dealer then the dealer while asks player 4 to sit in front of his cup and while he moves the dealer spanks his six stacks to the deck during a hand....

OMG - I nearly fell off the chair looking at Player 4's face as he has to restack his chips.

Enough comments around the table to suffice that the dealer should be swabbed or at least have their immigration papers checked.

Hard to understand any of this.

First time back here in a couple years. Was hoping for some PLO. Anyone know if it usually goes during the week when there's nothing else going on?
