Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa (Atlantic City, NJ) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.08.16 - Page 58 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I was at the 1/2 table near the cage when that table exploded. Apparently 20 minutes after the tournament table hit, the table near 54 was quads vs. 4 to the straight flush, and was >< this close to hitting.

If im putting 1 dollar every pot I might as well atleast try and play as much as possible when it gets high

Sorry that you took my post as some sort of insult. I didn't mean it to be.

I know how you feel about the bog BBJ. It's kind of like waiting for the lottery jackpot to get over $200 million. The odds of winning don't get better. But, when somebody wins, I'd like to have a shot at it.

About five days ago, a table had A's Full of K's beaten by a Royal. The kid with the A's Full thought he hit the BBJP. Jumping around and screaming. He took his shirt off like that girl that played soccer. My floor person went over to the table and gave the safe sign (baseball). Tom got on the mic and said," And the Bad Beat is still $203K"

repost from "BSO thread"

Newb Question:

Stan (or really anyone who plays @Borgata and happens to know).

1. What is the 'regular' poker rate and how many hours are required
2. I'm a new live player, any way to get a 'welcome to the Borgata' special offer for cashing in my first live MTT (event 3) or if I buy in to BSO ME + a few prelims?
3. Are there 'poker rates' for players in BSO events?

$4-$8 H.O.S.E. today at 2pm. You moght want to lock up your seats early. Alot more interest in the game. Hopefully we will have a must move today.

That's just pretty much awesome.

I was still up in the air about where to plant my live roots, but your customer service along with your competitor's anti organized-labor campaign has just sealed the deal.

See you on Monday.

Stan,

Are you able to deposit and keep money "on account" in the poker room? My play (once a month) and amount do not warrant getting a box.

Not in the poker room directly, but you can create a front money account at any cage (or wire them money to start the account).

So hypothetically, could I do a wire withdrawal from FTP and pick it up at the Borgata cage?

Don't have any boxes to give out and the money will be held in the main cage.

Can't get there early enough to play the $3K, but already registered for the Monday #23 noon second chance. I guess I get to play with the Day 1 bust-outs from Sunday.

Keep the BBJ warm for me. Funny, a week or two ago I assumed it would hit so I didn't get my hopes up it would be this big as next weekend approaches. My luck, it'll hit Saturday night, or even worse, as i sit and wait to post or at the next table over once I'm playing. (Who am I kidding, will anyone ever wait to post with the BBJ this large?)

Please call 609.317.1000 ask for the main cage, then ask for the cage shift manager. There has so many changes to the rules that i would hate to give you bad info.
