Best and nicest poker room in AC by FAR..really really well laid out..really juicy 1-2,2-5..the only thing I didn't like was the chips but thats a pretty small price to pay for playing in a Great poker room..Overall experience was awsome..even after catching a cold Deck, my set of Kings losing to set of Ace's..(-300$) took a 25 min smoke break...Sat at a 3 card poker table to play a few Hands..and caught myself a Mini Royal at 20$ Pair plus bet..= 1000$ people where stumped to see me back at the table with a Huge smile on my face after taking a big hit 30min Earlier!!! Thanks Borgata I will be back!!!

I will be playing hookie from work today, likely sitting in a 1/2NL game if I don't feel like napping up in the room. Will be in town for the Builders Convention "tomorrow" (wink wink). I'll likely be the only non-floorperson in the room wearing slacks and a blazer. Go easy on me if you see me at the tables. I suck at poker

Had a great time @ Borgata and the Builders Convention. Here's a short TR:

Tuesday night I was pretty generous to the 1/2 table I played at, giving a couple bucks away. After a brief walk around the casino and some coffee, I jumped into what looked like a sweet 2/5 game. Made back all my losses and then some after flopping the joint in a 5-way limped pot vs TPTK for a $800+ pot (did I mention the table looked pretty sweet? ).

Later made a little more when a SS'er raised to $20 w/ like $70 behind and I iso'd vs the 3 callers w/ a decent enough 3bet. My TT>AA of the shortstacker when I rivered a flush. Gave back a couple bucks afterwards when I couldn't fold KK to a c/r shove by a short-stacker on a J/6/3 flop.

After dinner, I jumped into another sweet 2/5 table. Got all of 4 playable hands in the brief 3-hr session. Got it in w/ 9s/10s vs As/2c on a 2s/5s/9d/Qs board and held up when the river was a non-spade.

Room was great and the action was very sweet for a random Tuesday night in April.

How often does an Omaha game get going on Monday and tuesday? I'm more interested in a low limit high low Omaha game like 10-20 and below. Thanks!!!!

The 10/20 omaha game usually only runs on the weekends

Heard a rumor that the 2/5 game at Borgata is now limited to 9 players per table. Same for the 5/10. This was being debated and discussed, but different people had different "facts" on the issue.

Anyone know what the truth is?

Is the Borgata shifting from 10 players at a table to 9?

Thanks.

Lee

If I am to stay over the night before a tornament can I still get the torny room rate? I know it says to show receipt at check out. My rate went from 59.99 to 119.99 overnight and guess ill settle for the 80 they offer.

Not true, 5-10 NL and higher is 9 handed. 1-2 and 2-5 is still 10 handed.

Stan

Hi Stan:

I'm looking at your stud games. Have you ever thought about dumping the $40-$80 game and instead going to a $50-$100 with a $10 ante, and then dumping the the $75-$150 game and going to a $100-$200 with a $20 ante (and not a $25 ante as it was occasionally played)?

While there is always objection to change, it's my belief that this would work better than what you have. That's because the $40-$80 game, whether it's played with a $5 or $10 ante is a poor structure, and the jump from $20-$40 to $75-$150 is probably too big.

Best wishes,
Mason

Was curious about the reasoning behind the shift to 9-handed. Asked a floor person - was referred to you.

I'll wait for Stan.

But would assume that with the smaller player pool of 5/10 NL players (heavily affected by PA/DE casinos) They want to stretch their player base. More likely too keep three to four full 9 handed tables than full ring 10 handed lately.

10/25NL is played 9 Handed (not sure about 10/20NL never played it, also rarely runs) so enough 10/25NL players forced to play 5/10NL tend to complain about the nittiness anyway, and force people to play more hands... or eliminate some of the short stack snipers out there...
