Not too bad, considering the weather and the last weekend shopping day before Christmas.

Hat's off to everyone for what must have been a herculean effort the last two days.

LOL !!! Best laugh I had all day !

It reminds me of all those unfortunate air travelers whose flights got cancelled out of Philly and Wash. DC yesterday, and today, Sunday, cause of blizzard.
Now, they're being told their next available flight won't be till at least X-mas!

I anticipate being there for the 7 pm on Wednesday but am not 100% due to my flight being scheduled to arrive at 3:30 pm along with any weather delays. Either way, I'll probably be there Saturday, probably being the annoying asian kid at 1/2.

Is there a fee for the box? Is there currently a waiting list?

How many players has the Saturday $340 tourney been getting? I haven't played it regularly in about a year, used to get 125-150. Will be there Fri-Sun and hoping to confine much of my gaming to the poker room, sprinkling in enough pit games to keep wife entertained and keep host happy.

Is there a waiting list for a box right now? I play mostly in the high limit room but not extremely high limit games (some 10/20 and some 20/40) - would I likely be able to get one?

The time charge on the 2-5NL game totally completely sucks. The Taj and Showboat have 10% up to $4 on $2-5NL. The Borgata is losing a ton of 2-5NL players to the Taj because of this. Can you switch to raking the pot. Thanks

What?

Can you please explain WITW you mean by this. How can 10% up to $4 per hand be less rake than $5 per player per down.

I am very confused by your post.

I agree. $10 per hour pp, is $100 per hour for the table.

At 25 hands per hour it matches $4 per hand. That's of course the same rake at $1/2NL but their pots dont always get over $35 (rounded to $4).

In 10 hours I dont think i ever win more than 5 pots...I figure my 5 winning pots are all missing $4..So im missing $20 because of the rake. At the borgata, in 10 hours, ive paid $100 and my winning pots all have that extra $4 in it, so i figure the fees is costing me $80 at the borgata..and only $20 at the Taj. I play 1 hand an hour.

I'm kind of indifferent on the rake vs time charge on the 2-5 game.

If you polled 100 players, I'm faily certain the results would come out close to 50-50. The tighter/nitter players prefer the rake cause they will be playing less hands. the more agressive "LAGS" (hate those terms) don't mind the time charge.

I don't see a significant advantage one way or the other. It's certainly possible I'm missing something though.

Also, The place gets twice the 2-5 action of any other place so while it's possible that there are a few players that go to Taj to play with a rake, it's certainly not a "ton" of players.
