I should be down and in the room by 7pm (hopefully a little earlier), would be great if the game is already running.

thats about when im trying to get there and yes

Wondering about the state of limit holdem at Borgata...

How often does the 40-80 go? Does 80-160 or bigger ever go?

Gotta Question for Stan or whoever else may know this.. I have read that in order to be upgraded to Black Label playing only poker, you need to earn 1,000 comp dollars in one year. I just recently turned 21 and I do not think I will have enough time in this calendar year to be able to earn 1,000 comp dollars (August-December). However in one years time (August 2010 - August 2011), I certainly will be able to earn 1,000 comp dollars. So just say I earn 700 comp dollars from now until December, and then 300 more from January til March, will that qualify me for an upgrade to Black Label, or will I have to get all 1,000 comps in one calendar year for the upgrade.

Thanks in advance to any responses.

^ you have a full year not a calender year

Stan how's the action looking this weekend. any big shows in town? Thinking of heading down tonight.

of course a poker room rate would always be helpful

Boc the 80 rarely goes. Although some where trying to get it going
last night. The 40 goes on the weekends. But it's hit or miss on the
weekdays

I find the 40 game is always two people away from running. Or maybe it's just people trying to coax me into the game so I can lose more quickly

Count me in.

Why dont we start at 3pm?

I will start the list when I get up in the morning but if we can get people to commit to like 3ish might be able to get it started. I am willing to play shorthanded 4 or more would work for me.

its not calendar year, mine is renewed in June, its just whenever you get to 1k hours.

I'll try to get there a little earlier, but it's not looking too good to get there before 5 at the earliest, traffic has been bad, really hoping this goes off, I want to play something other than just LHE this weekend.

Actually it's not 1000 hours, it's 1000 points. So if you play 2/5 which is 2 points per hour, it is 500 hours to get your black card.

i'm also at the mercy of traffic and another driver's departure time. i am down to play shorthanded as well. we have what, 4-5 people talking specifically about tomorrow night on this thread already right?

Yeah, about 4, I think we might get this going.

What are the quickest ways to get points outside of poker?

like everything? poker has to be like the slowest way to get points. hit the pit, doesnt matter where!

No, I think slots is the quickest way. Also the quickest way to lose your money.....

i mean yeah im sure some pit games are faster than others, and slots is likely it, my point was just that poker is the slowest so it was a funny way to phrase the question

I won't be there until at least 8p or 9p for the 5-10 HOSE game: gotta dinner reservations at a restaurant at the Trop. Hopefully it's still going at that point.

every time i go there besides playing poker i put $20 in the slots - i insert my card - but i don't see any points - what am i doing wrong ?

if they live game report site is accurate, the games look rather dead. 40 tables on a friday seems pretty low. I hope it is just temporary.

Not sure what you are looking at so here it is in real time.

I don't think that's been working properly for awhile. Maybe we can get a real live game report??
