And of course, within minutes, ROTE has investigated and provided a reasonable explanation and solutions. Thanks again, Stan.

No problem, always PM me, we can always work things out.

We are close to announcing a tournament on August 22, 23, and 24. Or maybe I just did!

$500 + $60 Deep Stack Re-Entry.

mini TR from yesterday:
Brag: went to borgata yesterday and won one of the drawings for 1.5k. the 7:30 drawing, table 17. thank you borgata. (I hope the regulars aren't too pissed off since I only get to play at borgata 1x or 2x a year, since I live in atlanta. sorry). thank you to dealer(Al?) for picking my seat #. tipped him $50, I'm not sure if that was too much or too little. I told him it would have been more if I didn't have such a miserable day otherwise. Nothing went my way all day other than that.
even after that, I still left down $100. dropped 200 at 1-2, 700 at 10-20 O8, then 700 after I won the drawing at 2-5. after 4 or 5 winning trips in a row to the B I got pounded everywhere. the drawing saved me.
The O8 game had some annoying lady there with red glasses who played crap hands and couldn't lose. Please, someone, anyone, take her money.

thank you. that is all...

so you gave it back

Congtratulations on the drawing. Funny that table 17 won the 7:30pm drawing today. Seat 6 won $2,000. I'll be driving through Atlanta on my way to Alabama at the end of next.

Tyvm Stan, will let you know when I need a room. I think I'm dealing with Maybell for this Sun night - Fri morning, texted her yesterday, but if she doesn't have anything would you? Or are you both comping out of the same poker pool?

Same pool.

Stan

Wow! I really should read my post before I hit submit. Doing too many things at the same time equals bad results. Let's try this one again.

Congratulations on the drawing. Funny that table 17 won the 7:30pm drawing today. Seat 6 won $2,000. I'll be driving through Atlanta on my way to Alabama at the end of next week.

Now that pixelpusher and Mike have their rooms straightened...are you guys coming Sunday and help push 1-2 PLO in the afternoon? I'm coming while my family chills at the Boardwalk and outlets, too. (Oh yes. Thank you so much, Stan!)

Just wanted to mention in regards to the whole "cutting back on cut backs", as someone who hasn't even been to the Borgata since last December (not by choice of course, finally getting a chance to go down there next week, and it took an epic event like my birthday to finally give me the chance to go down), I'm getting the same exact comps as I have been getting since they started giving out a lot more comps last year, so if they are giving me comps, there's no way they're cutting back.

Mini TR:

Spent the last three days at the Borg. People tell me it was hot outside, it could have snowed for all I know as besides the two 7 hours stay's in my room for sleep and shower, I was in the best the poker room in AC.

Brag, singular: Took 8 out of 290 in the Wednesday 15K 11am. for $844.

Not so Brag: Did not cash in the other three I played: The Tuesday 7pm, Wednesday 15K 7pm (40 minutes after busting in the 11am, although I did get down to 30, that is almost 13 straight hours of tourney play) and Thursday's 11am. Cash game (1/2) was a roller coaster that saw me almost pull of a break even with a rush the last two hours I was there only to see me lose $280 on two hands after I declared to the table I was leaving in 5 minutes for dinner and drive home. A/K with A/K?9 flop was a disaster. Can anyone guess what seat three had? Yeah, 9/9. Negative $190. Then very last hand of stay, K/J see's a K/J/rag rainbow flop. Checks to me, Bet $20, one caller. Turn blank, checks to me, bet $20 (Yep, about to get sucked out with my slow playing, I know, flame on.....), call. River, 9, he leads out $50. I have to go into the tank a bit, talking it out......He tells to me fold, that he liked me, and did not want to see me lose anymore money (sure you don't, then why bet?). I am thinking I just got ****ed by a set of nines again, but wtf, here is $50, he shows Q/10, ugh. This along with the $250 that I lost night one after I flopped a J high straight to a flopped nut straight where the three hands that if I could have just gotten away from, would have been a pretty positive trip. ****, I am not there for work, I had fun for free, who cares? Oh, and thanks Stan.

Had a blast even though

I'm a NLH player but I can put a horse in the game if you want action. I will be there Sunday.

Cool! Worst-case scenario, I'll be grinding 1-2 or 2-5 NLHE that afternoon until late evening, get some sleep and wake-up and grind some drunks and sleepyheads in the early morning before checkout and head back to home then work. But I'll have my initials SMG on the 1-2 and 2-5 PLO interest lists.

Doubtful. B-day on Monday, and tho I floated the idea to my family that we should celebrate by driving to AC Sunday morning so I could play the survivor tourney followed by PLO grinding, the wife and kids aren't biting.

Will try to squeeze in one brief trip in the next couple of weeks, but between business and summer obligations, I probably won't see any extended Borg action until the end of the month.

Either way, happy birthday in advance. If we do meet up on the next visit, remind me to treat you at the Amphora Lounge and we'll liquor up!

(I see my HORSE comment got deleted; didn't think it was that bad!)

Nevertheless, headed down tonight; wondering if that 5/10 HOSE game will go? I will definitely put my name on the list when I get there if anybody else is interested. Otherwise, it's 1/2NL for me!

What kind of 1-2 action would there be, starting around 10P on a Wednesday night in July / August, and running through to, say, 6A Thursday?

Hmmmm....

1/2 is a staple of any casino. Look at Stans previous game reports. I usually do not notice the 1/2 tables but there is consistently at least 10 tables going at any time.

Really late night on an off night (say at 4am) there might only be 4-5 tables then.

But its not like other casinos that have the game break. There will ALWAYS be 1/2 tables going..

Your birthday is also on Monday? So is mine haha. However, I will be spending my Monday into Tuesday at Borgata since I am 22 and no familial conerns(for now). I might come down Sunday if there PLO indeed runs.

1/2 is always running. Probably would get down to like 4 or 5 tables I guess at 5 or 6 AM, but it'll still be running.

Fri night update please.

i always hear about people getting comped this and comped that. how? im not a black card holder, but i go to Borgata a ton, no one has ever offered me anything.

They might be talking about using their comp dollars which are earned at the rate of 50 cents to $2/hour at most tables.

There are also room offers which can appear online on the web site for your account.

Others may play other games, slots and table games, that offer better comps.

You may want to PM Stan to see if there is anything he can do for you. I PMed him to get a poker rate room.

Presumably you swipe out of the poker room when you leave to make sure your visit is recorded?

Do you have a no mail code on your account? If you ask for (no mail) to be delivered to your address, then no offers will be loaded on your account.

Is your address correct? Have you moved and your address hasn't been changed in the system?

Has your DL expired?

Lots of things can happen that could stop the offers. PM your account number and i will check it for you.
