Please raise min to at least 150 or something. It is very annoying to have people buy in for 100 at 2/5.

It would be cool if they raised it to uncapped.

If by cool you mean 'would kill one of the most profitable games in Atlantic City' then yes.

Do you work for wyndham or something? I'm just perplexed why that site would be your suggestion instead of travelocity or expedia. Anyway, the guy is clearly asking for personal recommendations and not how to search for motels on the internet.

The 100 minimum is the reason I have not been there in a while. There were people hit and running more than I had ever seen in the past

They should make them all uncapped. Isn't the point of nl to get all their chips?

the reference is to buy in caps....not caps on pots.

If you actually mean an uncapped buy-in 2-5 game, well then that's ridiculous.

The Borgata DOES offer a 200-1000 buy in game. They list it as 3/5. It's been going more and more often on weekends.

Well a 2-5nl 1000 cap would offer better selection but what's the 3-5 game like on weekends? Loose?

All games at the wynn used to be uncapped. Pretty sick huh. But yea uncapped 2/5 would kill the game.

Does anyone know any good real hibachi resturants in the area? The ones where they cook in front of you with the show. I know of Mount Fuji in Absecon but was wondering if any of the casinos or any other locations exist that have this.

Borgata did budge by offering the 3/5 game. It has not proved very popular, and I'm not surprised. People want to play where to fish are, and the fish don't want to play in a game where everyone is really deep.

I personally have signed up for 3/5 only to have the game never even be called (for lack of players) or worse have it called and then only two or three people show up and it doesn't go.

There is a lot of complaining here about the $500 cap but not nearly as many 3/5 players as some of us would like.

Borgata has done a terrific job IMO of giving the players variety but they aren't about to kill the 2/5 game for what ultimately is a small percentage of the player pool that want it changed.

Thinking of making my long awaited (well, long awaited for me anyway) return to the Borg March 26. Since it has been since November that I have been down to AC, I have lost touch with what is going on. Anyone know if there is any big tournaments that weekend?

I didn't know they started spreading 3/5, that's a good start. The only problem is that it is almost guaranteed to be much sharkier than the 2/5, the 2/5 has good action on weekends but the short stackers were way to prevalent last time I was there, they killed a lot of the action. Just to clarify, I have no problem with 100 bb max, it is the 20bb min that is silly IMO.
Online-40bb min
1-2 in ac-30 bb min
5/10 in ac- raised from 30 to 50bb

For some reason though they have 2/5 at 20bb???
