A turned over hand is NOT a fold, although you will get a penalty for doing it in a tournament.

I can't speak for all over AC/Vegas, but in the Borgata in a cash game there is no penalty for turning over your hand. They will tell you not to do it and give you a "warning" if you do it, but your hand will definitely not be declared dead or anything like that.

Thanks Pippen...that's what I thought, but was not sure as I couldn't remember from last year.

Who cares what the ruling currently is?

I think the consensus is that this tactic is obviously not in the spirit of the game of poker and arguably should be changed such that exposing one or both cards (whether in a live game or in a tournament) equates to a fold, and, thus, a dead hand.

I assume at Borgata if you continue to do it, more than a warning will apply. What that is I do not know.

That was me DS, sorry you had to leave, turned into a lively game. Game was 8m players to full until past 2AM.

People who use it to legitimately get a read and are clear about their actions - "I am not folding, I am just turning over my cards" - are not doing anything wrong. People who try to manipulate the rules into tricking their opponents into thinking they folded are angle shooters.

ughh darnit..

i know who you are pacer, i thought i played with the other guy too.
the last hand i played really tilted the hell out of me, so i just left lol

Sure they are. They are breaking the rules. It is that simple.

TAKE IT FROM THIS OLD GUY, TILT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH OR YOUR GAME. sATURDAY HAD BACK TO BACK POCKET ACES AND HAD TO FOLD BOTH HANDS TO 3 BETS ON THE FLOP. BOTH WERE GOOD LAY DOWNS. THAT'S POKER!

wow, thats horrible. glad i wasnt there to see that, that actually would have tilted me more haha. im usually not one to tilt, but it does happen sometimes. the cards work in funny ways sometimes dont they

do i have to clock out after i finish playing or it auto clocks out for me

You have to clock out. You will be automatically clocked out if you don't do it yourself, but you'll be credited with zero hours.

Why is it that whenever I check the borg website for my comp dollar balance it never seems to accurately show how many I've earned / how many more I need to maintain black label for another year? Am I missing something? I feel like I've put in more volume than it shows I have and it's bothering me.

They're $1/hr for 1/2 and $2/hr for 2/5 still, right?

Is there a better / more accurate place to view these numbers, or am I sol?

poker is using a different system than the table games and slots. Comp point balance may be off while using online to check points,

Is HOSE and PLO 9 handed or 10 handed? I always played 10 handed but anytime I wanted to play a game saturday seemed like they were playing only 9 handed. I swear I took a shower before I came downstairs - hell I even shaved!!

How deep does the 10/25nl usually run? Figure like a Fri or Sat night. Is it like standard to buy in 300+ bbs, or do most buy in for 100-200 bbs. Thanks

What's an ARGER? The ATLARGE? I'm not familiar with these terms.

Thank you.

Lee

game report please!

Google ATLARGE... or go here: www.atlargepoker.com

Yes ATLARGE is basically 1/3 of the ARGE events.

ATLARGE - AC
FARGO - Foxwoods
BARGE - Vegas

I joined via a friend at work about 3 years ago.

It's derived from an (old?) site called Rec. Gaming.

R.G.E is Rec Gaming Excursion

The AT at the beginning signifies ATlantic City

I'm not familiar with the whole history of it as I am a relative "noob". I believe, in some way, it was (an earlier forum version) similar to 2+2 in that LOTS of poker was discussed.

There are others on here that can explain it better including Selling the Drama. He won the NLHE donkament at both The Taj AND Foxwoods in 2008. Luckbox IMO....JK...JK.

It's held at The Taj every March. 3 tourneys. HOE, NLHE and Stud-8. Lots of fun and lots of good poker players.....and degen gamblers. If you've played pink games, there were prob at least 3 ARGers in that game.

Wish it would get moved to The Borgata but what can you do?

We keep trying... there's more to it, than just changing venue.

Do SNGs usually run on friday and saturday?

God yes....especially after 6pm.
