There is a reason I travel 3 hours+ from Eastern Long Island to The Borgata in AC other than mo sun, Foxwoods or any other casino in AC. Borgata poker room is the best by far, I only go to Ceasars for WSOP circuit events.

(Long post about Borgata not quoted)

Definitely a good way to look at things, seeing that while the room has it's share of shortcomings, the Borgata poker room does get many things right and in a way that compares very favorably over other rooms of comparable size (or even rooms of not so comparable size.)

On a side note, the restroom was reeking of marijuana at one point this weekend. Could not determine where it was coming from though. It was strong and pervasive enough that I knew it wasn't coming off one person (as sometimes happens when someone comes back to the poker table,) but perhaps weak enough that it wasn't happening right then.

Because smoking in the bathrooms is illegal ($300 fine)and makes the bathrooms unusable for many players who have health issues.

Take the walk down to the bathroom by seablue and Bread and Butter behind the giftshop. It has enough urinals so no line ever, this is my preferred spot during tournaments.

The murmur smoking station is the best free show in Atlantic City.

take that for what its worth

I thought only Stan knew what nineinchal looked like IRL. I might be mistaken, since that was at the beginning of my time on 2+2.

I see PLO has been running on weekdays as well now. How long have the games been running for, and what weekdays will likely have a game going?

Me and nineinchal are good friends. Sad that he had to move away. He was fun to talk to. I was shocked to see what he was really like.

This seems to be a common reaction when you meet people. You said that to me when we first met.

I guess you just have a strange picture in your head when you see posts.

Would've been nice if you did bring him a ham sandwich when you first met him.

I had theories on who he was but the trail always ran cold.

I have seen the OE going a few times recently, but it is usually still Omaha only. How is it decided which game is run on a particular day?

I'm the players at the table themselves when they start the game. It seems to more often be OE in the middle of the week, since many of the weekend players don't like playing E as much.

interesting advice, usually i go to the one near the front desk, but your choice is probably more optimal.

Haven't played much there this month, but hope to get some more next month.

Does Borgata have a poker room rate? If so how much is it and what are the requirements to get the rate?
