In times of -18% revenues, you'd think a few crumbs to the poker players would more than pay for itself. I don't need it (top 5% household income), but if I'm driving two other poker/blackjack/craps players and the games we want are offered elsewhere, that's where we'll go 75% of the time.

i have a coffee club card, it gets stamped daily, when i get ten stamps i get a free one. it works great cause i'm a regular and get comped appropriately. When i go to vegas for a week or two (several times per year) i go to "its a grind coffee house" and dont expect them to treat me special cause i was there four months ago for a week and a half. Get it?

Were you really losing business to other rooms? I never heard of any room in AC being busier than the Borgata. I would be more likely to play there if they didn't have the jackpot. If you must have it, I think it would be better to have it easier to hit than other rooms.

No BBJ is really EV neutral. Even if they return all the money, better players are less likely to hit the jackpot; plus if you hit it, you will have to pay taxes on the winnings, and probably a large tip as well.

All good points on the BBJ...

Not arguing for or against it, but if every poker room has it, wouldn't you think it's because it generates that much more traffic and draws in more new/inexperienced/casual players? Wouldn't that make the lower limit games juicier since that's where these players will jump in and take a shot? I think that could be an EV increase because more players will make more/bigger poker mistakes at that level.

In a down economy maybe anything that drives new players to the game is +EV!

BBJs suck IMO. It's basically just a tax.

Wow, I totally missed that. I was there, and I never heard them call the game or announce that it was going. Weird. Does anyone know what table this was?

Or, did the second 10-20 OE game somehow morph into the pink O8 game? I still didn't hear any announcements, which is a shame -- I happily would have gone over to play.

I'm sure it slows the games down to a crawl when anything even remotely significant happens.

Hey Stan--

A game report any time between 10-11 tomorrow morning would be sweet so I can get pumped as I get off the train and head over. Hope to see you.

Stan,
Is tomorrows 12PM still 50K guaranteed? Still 10K starting stack, 30 minute levels? I am torn between the Borg tourney and the USPC at the TAj.
