Until the promotions do, and they
Have not done so. Beyond that,
7 handed lhe wlll require cheating
To win the promotions

If you tell the floor 30 minutes,
They'll give people 90 minutes,
And lots of games will stop
Or break up for lack of players,
It's not just a lazy floor,
It's also about the great deference
Given to the no small number
Of prima donnas

I think dinner list is great idea and should be more promoted to keep people who may not know to use it.

Also whomever is interested in lhe, or mixture of lhe n the other fun more card games, at any normal level..happy to be over wednesday...thursday too. Or next week on a non traditional blue chip day.

This weekend will look like nothing changed people wise. Plenty of interest. If they opened 60 tables itd be full by week two.

Start the list on Wen for any type of blue chip mix. I think I'll be bored enough to start the game very very very short

Since Borgata will be the only poker room in AC and with 210 max players at the same time, do you foresee long wait times to sit at a game?

probably, especially since the
Other poker rooms in ac remain closed.
Expect waits Friday and Saturday night
10 pm to midnight. This is why the
Sports book is next to the poker room

No list needed for very very very short. Maybe just a time.

I've not been down to Borgata in a fair bit...has 1/3 always been the normal game they run, or did it used to be spread as 1/2?

1-2 is just a come-on line,
Once you get to the casino
You are offered a bigger game.
All of the poker games
At the Borgata include a group
Of players incessantly
Chirping every 30 seconds,
Like broken smoke detectors,
For a bigger game

(Almost) 20 games by 11 A.M Wednesday,
(1-3 and 3-6 both have 7 players waiting)
Looks like there will be longer
Wait times to play at peak hours
Than I imagined.

Is the buyin for 1/3 still $300 or did it move up to $500 like MGMNH?
Is the rake still $4+1 as well?

Out of dealers with 23 games
And over 50 players waiting to play
1-2, 3-6, 2-5, and 2-2.

$400 max. The place is run competently.
Highly recommended. I like the way the
Tables are deep in the room. ONly the
Pizza was missing in the high limit room,
Otherwise I would have stayed all afternoon,
I was texted on the phone when my seat
Became available, which gives time for a
Bite downstairs. 29 tables including
One 5-10 nl at 3:15 pm. The rake
Did not change.
