I know that August is usually a busy month, but does Borgata have any poker room rates? Or perhaps specials for first timers, as I haven't stayed there before? I have a reservation at SB for the 18th (Thurs), but I am concerned that the room is going to be dead.

There is no justification for leaving a seat empty for 60-90 minutes.

3MW rule is good idea and would be even better if combined with 30 minute pickup rule.

30 Minutes is dumb, 1 hr is good. That's barely enough time to go to the cafeteria and shove some food down your throat. I'm a fast eater, but even I need more than 30 minutes.

Hope that Borgata Management considers this.

The reason they don't do this is that regular smoke detectors don't detect cigarette smoke. There are special smoke detectors that do, but they are so sensitive that they'd be going off all the time from the general wisps of smoke permeated throughout the whole casino.

The o8 ran overnight and still seems to be going strong, though the must move game broke.

people walking away for hours are unfair to people on the wait list, not the spineless nits who think the world is ending when a game drops to 8 handed

I saw Patrick Ewing in the High Side BlackJack Pit a couple weeks ago. He is much bigger in real life. I wanted to go and take a picture with him but he was too busy playing.

I've seen Allen Iverson occasionally at the Taj when he used to be on the sixers, but I know he doesn't like to be bothered at all when he's playing the 3 cardz pokerz. I remember when I used to take pictures and collect autographs, it was considered poor etiquette to ask for a pic/autograph when they are eating. I guess you can also add, whenever they are gambling.

friday night at the poker room cashier around midnight. was playing right next to cashier and dealer spotted him. then he turned around and i said "you're right, it's him." within 5 minutes he was surrounded by guys shaking his hand. funny thing about seeing barkley in a casino... he has a known gambling problem!

on another note, i agree that people leaving a seat for an extended period of time should be stopped. i hate playing short handed. leave for the bathroom only. go on a dinner list otherwise.

Is this a typo? Or are there really 2 different tables - one a 10 max and the other a 9 max?? If so, why the difference? Just seems strange to me.

Razz for at least a couple months or so. 50-100 HORSE goes off almost daily. Pink chip HORSE sometimes. And we even found a fellow to go around and canvass each and every table for 4-8 razz players with some success, might go off this Friday or Saturday. Now if only the floor would show that commitment and enthusiasm and go out to the boardwalk to round-up some 4-8 razz players!
