Stan and others...

I would be down to help start a 1-2 plo game over this coming Memorial Day weekend (Thursday Fri Sat only for me I believe), if there is no list or game running should we just sit at our normal games and tell the desk that we would be interested/willing to start the game if the interest arises etc. etc.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to get going since I'd imagine there will be lots of traffic. I probably won't play it all weekend but definitely will play some.

Just put your name on the list and play whatever until it starts. Should have a couple of games this weekend. Can't wait to post the live game report for sat night.

Legalized sports betting in AC would be huge both in terms of direct revenue and indirectly by bringing people to AC for big events like March Madness and the Super Bowl. I guarantee a lot of people would be more likely to go to AC if they could also throw down a couple of legal bets on a football game while they're there.
I'm all for a stricter interpretation of the commerce clause, but it ain't gonna happen. No idea about their other assertions.

They have more 10/20NL tables than most places have at 1/2NL. I don't think its unreasonable to expect better offers from places where 1/2NL is the highest limit.

note: i do not wish to offend. that is not my intention. i understand that the borgata may be more "selective" with its comps than other casinos. just pointing out that if you are looking for a cheap or comped room in AC there are other options for the average player.

sorry for the constant editing, too. english is not my first language, as i am sure you can tell!
Borgata is a higher quality establishment, all the way around, than the other AC properties. It is the only true Vegas-style casino in AC, and they have higher demand (and prices, unfortunately) that reflect that fact.

It really shouldn't be much of a surprise that they are more reluctant giving away rooms that can sell for double or triple other AC rooms on the open market.

the borgata has been great to my friend and I in terms of comps. I'm not sure what kind of comps people are expecting but comps in vegas are overrated.
You spend more hitting off staff members w/tips than any of your comps are worth. That pressure doesnt exist at borgata. The staff are always genuinly thankful when you tip them.

We are by no means ballers. He grinds 2/5 and i play some other games in the poker room when we visit AC and we've gotten great comps from borgata.

I'm planning to be down Saturday and probably Sunday, I'll play 2/5 or 1/2 PLO - whatever runs I'll be there

And yes I'll start the game very short.

I've probably logged a thousand hours at the Borgata in everything from 2/5NL to 10/25NL, and I still don't think I know who Stan is.

I feel like such a noob.

LOL. I don't think I want to self-identify as a 2+2 poster in front of the rest of the table. . . but certainly feel free.

I personally think that anything less than 200BB in PLO is short stacked.

Shrug, I can guess who posts/reads here anyway within 30 minutes, and I'm pretty sure that everyone I play with will still think I suck (or not) regardless.

If playing 1/2 is it even worth having a Red Label card?
