Last time I was at the Borgata there was this Canadian dealer. Overall he was good, but he talked way too much about hockey and Justin Bieber! Hopefully he will change by my next trip.

I am coming to Borgata on Monday and have already booked a room for 4 nights. Could you organise a poker rate for me Stan? I am looking to play 10-25 nl +, how often do these games run and are they deep?

Thanks, S_Cowboy

Stan can answer as well, but pretty sure that big a game does not go on winter weekdays. Probably the biggest NL game will be 5/10.

Sent you a PM

Stan

It will go on the weekdays.

I'm just asking because on the Borgata blog for this Saturday there are no tourneys at all: borgatapoker.blogspot.com

Maybe just a bug...

Hey, are they gonna post the results from Event 26 yesterday (200+30 reentry)?

how come the 5-10 stud game died here? i had a few people over from the taj once or twice and could never even get it six handed but there are 3 tables at taj today?

AS OF 3:30 PM ON 02/05/11

26 LIVE GAMES

[1] $20 - $40 STUD
[1] $10 - $20 STUD
[1] $5 - $10 STUD
[0] $1 - $5 STUD

Why would the Taj show only (1) game on their game report. Why does the Borgata have (3) 20-40 Stud games and the Taj only has one?

Stan

Once or twice doesn't help. You need to have more didication to getting the game over if that is what you want.

hey stan, i sent you a pm.

Stan -

Any chance we could start a 2/5 half hold 'em, half plo game on weekends?

there should be more of a push to get the 3/5 game off

quite a shame how many previous borgata dealers are now playing at borgata. most of them were good dealers; what's left of the current ones is very polarized: either really really good or just plain terrible

agreed 100%. The terrible ones must be loved or something. I saw you on your way out yesterday, but was in middle of spewing half my profit at PLO. Hope to see you in that game again.

A shame for who? You? Dealers are notoriously bad players.

Pretty sure he means it is a shame that there are good dealers who have been laid off; if they are now playing at the Borgata it means they are no longer working there.

How many runners were there in the O8 tourney yesterday? I assume that it was somewhat low since it was Superbowl Sunday.

A lot of folks on here like to complain about this but then no one signs up or shows up to the game...Last time I was down I got up from my 2/5 game and locked up a seat when they called it only to have it not go because nobody shows up.

I've been at the Borg every Saturday but one since the year began, and I don't recall more than one 3/5 NL table going at any time I was there. It seems to me that the games in between 2/5 and 5/10 only work in rooms that have a hard time getting off a 5/10 in the first place. The Showboat used to do a 5/5 NL, $1000 max buy-in but they very, very rarely were able to get off a 5/10. I know that the Sands Bethlehem also does a 5/5 (probably because many former Showboat people are working there now) but again, they rarely if ever get off a 5/10.

I don't bother with the 3/5 for four reasons. First, I keep forgetting that it's offered. Second, I'm not going to sit around and wait for it. Third, a corollary to #2 is there's no table selection like there is with 2/5. Fourth, even if it does get off it rarely lasts more than a couple hours before it breaks or morphs into a 2/5.

I realize the 3/5 was created to cater to people who like their 2/5 NL to have a $1000 buy-in (Del Park, Harrah's Chester, Parx). But I don't think there are many people going out of their way to those casinos who won't go to the Borg just because of the $500 cap. If they're going to those other casinos it's for convenience first and foremost, with the $1000 max buy-in as an added attraction, but not a determinative factor in their decision-making.
