Had my best session yet yesterday:

Played 1/2 bought in for 200, and later added 100, and 50.

Busted the player on my left and right with JJ in two separate hands. (Sucked out on one shorter stack when we got it in on the flop with 1 PSB after he flopped a Q for his AQ and I rivered a straight)

After playing loosely and losing a couple of bluffs, managed to bust a LAG ~$300-400 stack with AA after his raise to ~12 and 3 callers by reraising from the SB to ~70. After the Q X X flop, I bet the pot on flop and turn to get it in and beat his AQ.

Somehow managed to bust a player across the table with 66 on a A J 6 flop when he had Kings with only about 10% of the size of his stack in the pot. He bet the flop, I raised and he pushed.

Busted the player to my left with KK vs his QQ AIPF.

Ran up my stack to a peak of $1950, and had to use three trays to hold my reds.

Lost about $100 on a pot where I raised with AQ and got called by about 5 players. Flop came Ac Qc Jc, and I bet about pot. Got called by a short stack's AJ and he boated up.

Ended up losing about $500 from my peak, but still ended comfortably up.

Managed to see others do a AA, KK, QQ AIPF, as well as a AA, KK, TT later on. (the TT ended up calling the 4bet with 2 players all-in, and the KK spiked a K to win).

---

How's the play at 2/5 compared to 1/2? I think I might try to take a shot next time and move back down if I lose a buy-in.

Stan, what are the min-max buy-ins for 2-5, 5-10 PLO?
Thank you

Woo-hoo, my streak is intact. I left the PLO table at a little after 6 pm, and it seems like yet again the table didn't survive for another half an hour.

At the drawing times, we will draw a table # and then a seat # to determine the winner. There is no signing up for the promotion. We will start with 95 envelopes to choose from since there will be a total of 95 drawings in the month of July. The envelopes will contain a winner's letter that is worth a minimum of $500 to $5,000. Some envelopes will contain $750, $1000, $1250, $1500, $1750 and $2,000. I believe 9 of the envelopes will contain the $2000 prize.

how often do sit and gos run, and what are the buy-ins?

There's $30+10, $60+15, $100+20 and up.

This link to the website shows what's available.

http://www.theborgata.com/Main.cfm?C...46DCB3036E8E5D

From the announcements, it seems like the $60+15 and $100+20 are the most popular ones.

i've never seen a list/running for anything less than 100+20. maybe im wrong, im not there all the time.
The 500+40 is the best value in my opinion.

i still dont get why people play the 60+15... 25% juice? gtfo. The only winner in that sng is the house.

The 100+20's seem to go fairly often. I'd say at least 1-2 an hour but that's based off a fuzzy memory.

Is there expected to be a lot of people playing today? Not sure if most people get today off work.

Can we get an early afternoon game report please?

Stan, update us please

Your wrong. I have seen the 60 go many times.

Anybody notice that table 74 got new felt and was the first table involved with the drawing today? Live poker is rigged lol

Glad you mentioned that. It was actually table 76 seat 3, 10-20 LHE game.

havent played live in over a year, does the borgata run any small-mid stakes mixed games?

what is the approx. turnout for sat 11 am 300+40.. how long it last ?

Can we get a game report please?

Re: Clubs in the Borgata...

I have always just stuck to MurMur, especially on Saturday nights. I will be there next weekend (Saturday July 17) strictly to party. Planning to get dancefloor table(s).

Question is, how does the newly redesigned Mixx compare to MurMur, especially on a Saturday night? Anyone been since the re-launch?

Stan,

How long have the drawings every 2 1/2 hours been going on for? And also how do they work? I only play at the borgata and don't think I ever heard or knew about this. Thanks
