That is just incredible - has this game been running daily? Is the ante $10 in the stud rounds? Four tables of that is awesome, I can't think of another casino in the country that can pull that off.

I'm guessing its mostly guys in town getting ready for the HORSE tournament Sunday.

Thanks. It's not going to be fun getting up 8:40-8:45 on Sunday, aka the time I get up for work, but I guess it's better than taking a trip down Saturday, staying till 3-4 AM and then waking up at 9:40-9:45 AM. See you all Sunday.

Nah, you're wrong.

It's down to 2 games now, but the 4 games were almost all regulars. 40/80 horse does run every day, though sometimes it's 30/60 or 50/100.

If it's 30/60 HORSE, I might play it. 40/80 is too far out of my price range.

This time next week! Can't wait.

Your only chance for 30/60 is usually Monday and Tuesday. The change in season may drive limits down a bit though I guess.

Table 5 in the noon event might just have the worst waitress in the history of Borgata

Waitress service has improved in the past year, a lot less drive-bys, better correlation between the drink you order and the drink you get, number of times you have to ask for a drink before you get a drink reduced from about 2 to 1 1/4, somewhat less cool reception, the early morning service even showed an improvement with a smile and a certain timeliness, there are still cocktail waitresses who walk around with no idea what table placed the order and a request for no sugar undoubtedly results in extra sugar, the ability to distinguish an order with sugar and without apparently not something asked at the interview, they fit well in their dresses, so someone must have taken note of that in the interview process...

Aside from screwing up my drink, here is the incident I just witnessed. customer said his drink did not have 'x' . Cocktail waitress, extremely beautiful and competent, corrects guest by indicating he did not properly request drink as he didn't order it properly and forgot to say 'shaken not stirred' and so he was out of luck. I looked back. The cocktail waitress was competent and the poker player was an arrogant know-it-all who I have never seen miss an opportunity to put his foot in his mouth. I'm sure the cocktail waitress was right. And won the argument. Problem is she lost the war. If I am hearing an argument at a nearby table because a customer did not know how to order a drink properly, the war is lost. With a little charm and wit the waitress could have told the customer a drink would be out shortly as he requested. No one is going to complain about this cocktail waitress, she is competent, 36 and looks like she is 26 and a former 'Miss America' - she gets asked out on every shift despite being married and having kids and the boyz who play cards have probably succeeded in making her cold and hard, our loss...speaking of sexual harassment, - one of the women who works as a floorperson recently told a customer not to touch her. I had never heard that before and have seen the women working in the poker room touched and kissed by staff and players alike. But if you don't know her, why do you think it is so okay to touch her?

I played 30/60 HORE on Thursday a few weeks ago...it was a great game, and it was running alongside 60/120 for a while. I would be a little more hesitant to play 40/80 HORSE, since Stud High is the game I am least comfortable with, and if it is a $10 ante, this would raise the stakes quite a bit more than the bump in betting limit would suggest.

Not sure how rake vs. time matters for fills. The way to reduce fills is to go to California-style chip runners.

I personally like time because it doesnt penalize loose play.

Comment: it is the reason you get seventeen (17) 2-5 games on a Wednesday Night!

Nah. The two main reasons the Borg has so many 2/5nl games are (in order):
1) The casino and poker room are a million times nicer than anything else in AC
2) The cap of $500 max lures in more of the 1/2nl players who are intimidated by a 1k cap at other casinos.

Maybe time vs. rake is third, but it's distant if so.

Played some 5/10nl last night. Very nice games and well run as usual. Good to see the room packed and buzzing. Well done Stan and team!

Very interesting to see so many big mixed games. This has been an interesting trend in the NE region, but it was really highlighted this week at the Borg.

Re: Any predictions on how many 2-5 games there will be then?

***

Comment: I have found the Borgata to be creative and successful in bringing in poker players! I have a lot of faith in their efforts to bring the players in, I am sure we are in store for great comp offers and such to bring us in next month!

Badugi and Triple Draw Low Ball 2-7 starts Tuesday. These games should make it even better.
