Shuffling the Borgata chips is super easy (well ok I can't quite do a full stack yet, but I'm up to 16 and since I'm a limit player thats perfect for a turn raise ). In fact I have a much harder time shuffling Paulson chips.

Same holds for cutting chips out. I rarely see the regular players have issues (most of them are quite adept at spewing out the correct number of chips).

Practice makes perfect I guess.

Yup, the only time I have problems is when I get water on them (like from the condensation on the water bottle). Other than that I have no problems cutting the chips.

bremen, your cat is coooo......

Dcj.....you don't shuffle chips? wtf man, shuffling chips is cooo......what do you do with your hands when you are card dead and mucking hands, nevermind don't answer that! jk...seriously though I can't help it, ever since I learned to do it I can't stop!

The room is great, I love it I'm just saying, those chips are freaking annoying and tilt me hard! Harrahs has the same stupid ones, why not just get regular clay paulsons and make me and my poker playing cat "mickey" happy!

Don't have experience, but if you look at Stan's regular updates, 1/2 and 2/5 get spread every so often, on a rare occasion a 5/10 will get going. You'll usually find a game of 1/2 or 2/5 spread at some point during the day.

On the weekends there seems to have been a regular 1/2PLO game. I was there one night and I think there were two tables going like really late at night/early in the morning. The game was pretty good.

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

No, I was born and raised in Mobile, Al. I come down once a year to see my parents and my brother and sister. We have a 160 acre farm in Mississippi that go to relax. Private lake for fishing. GOOD LIVING!!

What normally takes me a 2 hour drive can often hit 3 hours with bad traffic on a sunny Summer day. I don't think I've ever taken longer then that.

I would rather not go then take the bus, but I guess its up to you. The train is also an option.

TT and other mods,

"The Official xxx Threads" are the most important on 2+2 to me and many others. The participation and comments from those banned & potentially banned are the main reasons why the threads are useful. I implore you, Matt, etc. take another look at how you define "improper promotion". Perhaps you could clarify the policy and delineate what's allowed or how it appears based on what thread. For example, if any Showboat employee posts on the SB thread, a disclaimer appears with their post declaring, "This poster is affiliated with the property and any comments should be viewed in that context". I can't imagine that your advertising community would have any problems with such a policy. This approach is used successfully on many other websites.
Thanks for your consideration.
