My fault, i should have stayed on top of it. It is very important to make sure that there is an official starting day and time. Saturday at 2pm

Stan

Sorry, I love this game, but I won't be around this Sat. Hopefully it'll go again tomorrow or Wed afternoon.

Stan

Thanks for all your help in taking care of my room situation. I'm really looking forward to playing next week.

Just want to poke in here and say that the BBJ hit today around 1pm. I was at table 6, and it hit on table 7. > < this close.

Quad 5's vs. 2c-6c. Quite the celebration, it was. ~$159,800. Not a bad haul, eh?

how many does the weds 15k get at 11am? im sure its been covered i couldnt find it though. what are payouts for top 3 usually?

i havent been in awhile but does anyone get annoyed by the chips there? They are hard to shuffle and always stick together....I love the borgootz, but seriously, what gives with the chips!?

Seriously this is probably one of my main reasons that I do not play at the Borgata completely regularly. I cannot stand the chips, regardless if people think they are "clean". I don't like that it is far more difficult to shuffle them.

Stan,

I got the mailer this weekend. Does the comp room night have to be on a sun-thurs? Is there any way for it to be a fri or sat night?

Thanks

It seems like you've got your priorities a little bit out of whack. If your primary concern is shuffling chips, instead of playing in a large well-run room that's clean, and profitable with hot waitresses, just get the chips that you like, stay home, and shuffle away.

I like the chips. I've got better things to do than shuffle chips like the people on TV.

It's not impossible to shuffle them, just harder. Also, if you need something to do with your hands, then you could try to learn a couple other chip tricks instead of being a one-trick pony (chip twirl is a really easy one thats doable with borgata chips).

And thank you for the lovely insight. How great of you to point out where my priorities are. Please. I am a pretty successful player. I said it was one of my reasons for not playing there more regularly.

Shuffling and doing other chip tricks helps me remain calm and steady. It helps my game. So I think when I go somewhere, where this feat is more easily accomplished then I think I do have my priorities straight. But thanks once again.

I never once bashed the room or the service or anything but the chips.

Thanks I can do more than just shuffle

Nothing much to add...but will be at the Borg Saturday to see STP in concert. Very excited.

Why exactly is "hot waitresses" a more rationale thing to care about in a poker room than nice poker chips?

I actually find that the poor suitability of the Borgata chips for poker play does have a adverse effect on my poker game. It is more difficult to cleanly cut out a bet with the Borgata chips, which can reveal tells if you are nervous or uncertain.

I don't shuffle chips but I find the combination of sticky chips and the table tilting towards the players near the edges to be distracting. The over/under for stacks falling in a 12 hour session (for me) is now 6.

In all seriousness it is annoying to try to cut out 4 chips and get 5 or more. However if this is the worst thing I can say about the room (and it pretty much is) then it is no big deal. Most importantly the dealers at the Borgata are collectively amazing.

Personally, I am not that into the waitresses. Their outfits would be extraordinary except that most of the waitresses have had boob jobs. Putting it differently, if they were on a plane and the plane went down in water, they would not need flotation devices...

Personally, I do not have an issue with fake boobs. They look almost the same they just feel a little different. Putting it differently, the waitress's at Borgata are much easier on the eyes then the overweight old wrinkly waitress's at some of the other casinos.

I do agree. A lot my game also involves being pretty smooth with my cutting out chips and things of that nature. The way the chips sticks together makes me feel that I look nervous, and then this in turn makes me a little bit flustered.

And I agree that the waitresses "being hot" does have nothing to do with priorities (only involving poker)

Hotel rooms all gone? Or just about? I just tried to book a night a week through August - and almost all the days are closed to comps.

Stan - I hope that you are having a wonderful vacation.

ruler of the east. how many people does the weds 11am get? what are top three prizes usually?

lol...same here, i just play out of the rack now..I usually keep 1 working stack of $100.00 and leave the rest in the rack untill needed

True

+EV IMHO

I'm not attempting to insult anyone. I've never even tried to shuffle chips. I've got great dexterity. But I feel like, if everyone else is doing that, I'll do something else.

I don't need anything to keep me calm. I'm pretty cool. But I don't smoke or drink alcohol like a lot os people in casinos do.

The table tilting on the edge tilts me more then the chips.

Who goes to Alabama for vacation?

Stan take a vacation and stop working while you're on vacation .


To the one asking about the wednesday tourneys, the afternoon one usually gets over 300 entrants. I remember the one I played it had 378 entrants, first price was like 12k.
