Stan, do you know by chance if the Borgata will be running sattelites for the August 2-5 event? Will you run sats even on Aug 2nd for the 1B start? If so how much would they be? Kind of a longshot but I'm headed up there for that week, and won't arrive until August 2nd (Also can't put up 1500 so would need to sat. in). Appreciate the info.

hey man, I was the winner of the hand with the 4-5 diamonds, in the 7 seat, which seat were you at?

what a thrilling experience to have had, to be the winning hand of the bad beat jackpot !!!!

The general public should know that during a visit to the Borgata this weekend, this lowly minion encountered the Ruler of the East seated upon his Royal Chair, in his Royal Office, and wearing his Royal Crown. I was truly humbled.





Stan, you da man dawg.

Did you have to kneel and kiss the ring too?

Man, I was thinking about heading down there today but didn't want to play NL and figured there was a decent chance there wouldn't be a 5-10 game.

Stan, I'm curious. Why Burger King for your avatar?

haha dude last year I got crap for wanting to turn on the talladega nationwide race. I was thinking to myself like wtf it's a sport there are 27 TVs showing CNN how the hell do you watch CNN without sound?

Actually, Tab picked it.

Stan

Stan, just curious...

How is the BBJ split at Borgata. I noticed when it was hit the other day, it was reseeded at, IIRC $80k+.

I'm assuming this means that some portion of the BB money collected every day goes into a "refresh fund" to help it remain high after it gets hit.

Perhaps the breakdown is something like this?

80% directly into the bad beat jackpot.
15% set aside to re-seed when it hits.
5% for advertising or other administrative costs.

I know I've heard people speculate how it breaks down at the table. Who better to ask than the king himself?

I'll guess:

50% into the jackpot
15% into the next jackpot
35% into the craps table when Stan clocks out

Hmmm, interesting theory but you're forgetting one major thing: Stan obviously never clocks out!

I think the BBJ at Borgata is split 70% current jackpot/30% next jackpot.
Other casinos do this as well, but the typically split is more like 80/20.

http://theborgata.com/assets/pdf/pok...oker_rules.pdf

It is 70/30. The 30% reserve is great because it creates a nice starting amount for the new BBJ when it is hit. I believe all the other AC properties are 80/20.

Only thing I am not 100% sure of is when the BBJ is hit twice in the same day. After the first BBJ is hit, the 30% reserve amount would become the starting amount for the new BBJ. When it hits a few hours after that, technically there is no reserve jackpot at that point to fund the next BBJ. So what may happen is Borgata (or another casino) may choose to advance funds to have a "minimum BBJ", say $20,000. Borgata (or another casino) will recoop the money they put up to fund the "minimum BBJ" by taking a certain percentage (usually 10% is average) until the casino has been paid back in full.

Also, I could be wrong, but I believe you can not pay for advertising/administrative costs for the BBJ out of the BBJ funds received. I believe this is a NJCCC thing. Therefore, every dollar that comes in, must be paid back out to the players.

Played in the 300 + 40 tourny on sat., great time. This was my first live tourny, I'm mostly an online & live s&g (Borgata) type of player. As card dead (I hate when people say that, but I really was) as I was, small ball strategy & nice comfortable 30 min levels kept me in there. Got knocked out around 25th, & if I had ANY cards (ak once & highest pair was 10's in about 4 & 1/2 hours), I would have fared much better. The reason I picked this tourny was because of the structure, and it really played very, very nice. Can't wait to do it again.

It didn't hurt that I played 1/2 right after and made my tourny buy in back by time the fireworks started.

Drew

the money that's actually distributed for BBJ is done 40-20-40 fwiw. (loser-winner-rest)


Also, I think I'm gonna become a live pro. 5/10 and 10/20 players are lolbad

Someone said that to me this weekend too after I squeeze AKcc from the BB to 135, utg+1 folded and CO pushed 1k/2400 and i shipped my 2500 stack (5/10).

So the girl that took you was playing 10/20 with some black dude hu and I decided to play. We played 3 handed for a few and then I got it in with top pair against her fd...she hit and took off. Was kinda funny to get hit and run by a reg -- LIVE

Does the Borgata allow girlfriend/wife to pull up a chair to the side if not playing at the table?
