Super sweet. As primarily a tournament player, I've been hoping for this for a long time. I've always thought that someone playing a $2500 + $250 event should earn the same comps as someone putting in 25 hours of time-raked 2/5.

Thanks to Stan and Tab, always looking for ways to keep poker players of all stripes grinning.

I have been trying to get a mixed game at those levels going for the last three weekends with no success, and now two are going on a Monday apternoon?
How did that happen?

The idea that tnmt. Dealers should subsist on millet, while 2-5 dealers eat rice and can afford soy sauce is a practice that needs to be examined...

Re: '... I've always thought that someone playing a $2500 + $250 event should earn the same comps as someone putting in 25 hours of time-raked 2/5...'

The 2-5 players tip the dealers much more generously than tnmt. Players so 3% of the $250 goes to the dealers, not the house

3% of the price pool goes to the dealers.. $250 is the entry fee to the house.. .

I have been in contact with these players for the past week trying to get a start date on these games. Monday (today) was the day everyone agreed upon. You should see the Pink O.E. go most days now. There are also a lot of regulars that have been requesting the 15-30 O.E. as well. Just so happens that today was the starting day for that game. Today they devided to add RAZZ to the mix.

Just wondering if these are mostly the people who had been playing the pink chip OE at Harrah's, or a different group. Are the 10/20 O8 players likely to raise a stink about either game?

Will be in AC playing all day this Wed and Thurs.

If a pink chip game goes at Borgata, I will be there playing my favorite kind of poker at my favorite Poker Room.

Is there a good chance of this happening?

Does the Borgata still offer a Black card to anyone who has a higher level card at another casino?

Harrah's group moved over.

Stan

The offer still appears to be ongoing.

I appreciate all the good stuff the Borgata does for poker players and it is important we get the word out so that more players come to Atlantic City this summer to play poker. My thought was some poker magazine could interview Stan and he could lay out in graphic detail the (1) comped rooms (2) free parking (3) free-rolls (4) bonus comp dollars (5) free drinks, I mean where do you get Heineken in a bottle to play 2-4 lhe, and if I'm playing 2-4 lhe do you think I work here. The borgata has done a great job in creating terrific conditions for poker players to play and deserves all the good publicity it deserves for this. I can't make any money on my good hands at Borgata if the fish are playing somewhere else.today I am thankful for the gift of a pink chip OE game. I don't work here, I love playing hi-lo games here!

I don't know how I feel about this...15-30 is alittle too high for me to play. I feel like this is Parx all over again with the 4-8 Omaha 8o game being killed so the regulars could play 6-12 O.E. I just hope that the pink chip game plays daily and at night. If not, now maybe the 5-10 Omaha 8o game might get legs and move from the Taj to the Borgata.

In all fairness, I only play at the Borgata one weekend out of the month.

The PC game and 15/30 is a much better option IMO. The 10/20 was always too small and they wouldn't allow you to spread like a 15/30 OE or anything because it was too close to the 10/20. 20/40 was hard to get started because it was too big for most players.

With the 7.5/15 OE going, it's not much smaller than the 10/20, and gives us room to play 15/30 mixed games.

i'll be arriving in AC tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. i'll be headed straight from the airport to borgata. hoping to get some PLO action going! see you all there!

Stan,

Would I be allowed to bring a couple of teenagers into the poker room for a 60-second tour of the room and then lead them right back out? It seems like the rules kind of keep them completely off carpeted areas, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Sorry, they will not be able to enter the poker room.

Stan

If you hadn't said anything I'd doubt they'd notice . Now Stan has informed every Borgata Poker Room employee to be on the lookout for you and your underage companions.

Obviously joking about this. No PLO or HORSE went this past weekend after 11 PM which led me to nearly bore myself to tears until I doubled some drunk moron who runner runnered a flush vs my trips. I then proceeded to dust off 250 in craps and gain most of it back in roululette(12 numbers in a row were black and even, 22 3 times 6 2 times 11 times in 1st or 2nd third). Im pretty sure I wasn't comped a penny from that though .

They can take the Borgata poker room tour here:

Yeah, odd to see no PLO game on a Saturday Night. I did make it, but played 2-5 NLHE. I was up $400 till a huge multi-player pot, where I busted out with second nuts. LOL Yes...a winner took down a total $1200+ main and side pots with flopped trip 8's with Q kicker, vs. my flopped trip 8's with 7 kicker, vs. Opponent's busted flopped Q-high diamond draw. The latter player bullied us with a huge overbet post flop, prompting an all-in fest.

Re: I don't know how I feel about this...15-30 is alittle too high for me to play. I feel like this is Parx all over again with the 4-8 Omaha 8o game being killed so the regulars could play 6-12 O.E.

***

This isn't quite right. Efforts have been made to get a 4-8 horse game going that have not been successful with a few exceptions (so there is no game that has been killed) ...I would like to keep trying on Friday night/Saturday day-night...
