Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa (Atlantic City, NJ) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.08.16 - Page 219 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I just attempted the Borgata from about 5 blocks south of the Hilton.

Snowblinded as soon as I opened my garage. Chinese food delivery after this humiliation.

Perhaps I should trade in the convertable for a four wheel drive vehicle...

A real man walks to the Borg

Or at least to the Hilton, then takes the jitney.

And I thought you were a true degen... disappointing, very disappointing.

probably a combination of the weather, and the fact that the smaller 2-4 and

They may not want to brave the icy roads .... they are older and wiser !?!?

Possibly, or they may have actually left for the Borgata, but are driving even slower than ususal because of the weather, so they should be arriving sometime between now and Monday night.

Bad beat #1.. weather forces me to not go to Borg.
Bad beat #2... daughter felts me in home game, by spiking J on river for quad jacks, crushing my quad 9's. All the $ goes in on the flop of 6 9 9.
Bad beat #3... no BBJ in my kitchen

Stan... how was the action tonight - game report, please.

No problems. Not much snow.

Of course, after living for 15 years in Buffalo - this doesn't really count as snow. I don't see what the excitement is about. If cars aren't buried, it doesn't count.

I have a room booked at the Borgata tonight. I'm heading down from northern Jersey.

Will things be cleared up by the afternoon?

I drove into AC on the expressway the morning. If you just take your time and be smart you will be fine.

Wow, that's crazy. I guess lots of people like me that are too cowardly to brave the snow and roads.

No one can get to the casinos to play tournaments due to the 20 inches of snow that got dropped on the area in 24 hours.

Because it's not worth anyone's while to run a tournament with 5 people in it? Turn on the weather channel, bro. The East Coast got pummeled by a nor'easter.
