For that price a happy ending better be included

i agree completely. one of the problems with the game the way it is, is that the regular players don't seem to want to budge as to what games they're willing to play (or not play) and then they wonder why it's always the same five or six players all trying to outdraw one another.

add the ***** holdem again and use your head! much better game AINEC

You should take a look at the current rulebook (available from the poker room staff at the back podium); review it; and provide appropriate feedback on where you think it could use additions/clarifications.

Even though, you're right, the vaguely general "fix the current rulebook and follow it" is really just a starting suggestion of limited helpfulness. Like "someone should invent a PS4 with better games"

In a perfect world, I guess there'd be a team actively seeking/collecting all the suggestions and put out a new edition of the book, but I'm assuming Stan & Co have higher priorities for now.

Perhaps the best we can hope for is that there is a soon-approaching window (they have added a lot of new game types that might need rules additions, after all) to get a slew of adjustments in. Maybe even get a suggestion box or staff contact to work with players on this.

Can anyone on the B side comment on any possibilities in this regard?

100+100 HUSNG's are gonna be huge!

Ummm, 100 + 100? sounds like a loosing prop. HU-SNG probably would start at 500 + 50 min. and go up, I can even see up to a 2500 + 200 HU-SNG (that may take some time to go, but I am sure the B can text you, if you're playing that high HU).

A double or nothing SNG can go cheaper, 10 people in, 5 win, would run for like an hour tops!

while I like the idea alot I think Stars showed the longterm viability of DoN's is bad. Collusion... softplay.. etc but ideally it is a great format

and 8 hour bubble play so that you can make $100? if you cash!... i think the idea of an entire tourney lasting 4-5 hours is a pretty interesting one to explore for Stan and Tab

unfortunately this will never happen...but they COULD put HU SNG automated tables...but that will never fly either, due to dealers balking at the idea.

P.S. See you all tomorrow-Sunday

Yes.

They had heads up auto tables ar Trump Plaza for at least 6 months and I'm not sure they were ever used. They were only set up for cash games though, not SNGs.

There ended up being 9 2/5nl tables throughout the entire "primetime period" tonight. It was at the top of my range. The record high bad beat contributed to this imo. No way the Borgata would get 10-14 2/5 nl tables on a Thursday (like someone else predicted) during non tournament time. Action was good today nonetheless. Also where has Rocco been?

The poker room was very busy tonight, but I think it had more to do with the holiday weekend than the BBJ. The Water Club was opened today early for the weekend because of the holiday, and they did not open midweek a few months ago when the poker room was way more crowded than it was tonight (during the Borgata Open).

I have reviewed the rulebook many times and know every rule in there, better than the shift managers know them. I'm really sick of having a shift manager rule directly opposite of what is clearly stated in the rulebook because he thinks the rule isn't fair. Exactly the reason the rules need to be rewritten. But as long as the rulebook is still current and in use, use the damn thing as it's meant to be.

As far as making specific suggestions, I'll wait until I see even a whiff of interest by poker room management (Stan). Have I missed it, or does Stan reply to everything about rooms and Sit n Gos but nothing about the things that really matter? When I see some initiative from the staff, you can bet you will get input about specific suggestions.

Stan or Tab,
On average how many runners does the Friday 12PM get ($300). And how many runners does the 6PM Green chip bounty get usually?

I assumed a HUSNG would need to at least bring in the same ammount as a traditional SNG does now to be viable. 500+50 prob ain't happening.

Actually, in the past I know some people have played HU cash games. You just need to pay time for a full table to prevent others from sitting down. You could use a forced raise/reraise to mimic blinds going up.

Friday noon usually gets 125ish.

I've never visited the Borgata before, but the PLO 8B tourney next weekend is worth the trip. Any tips for a first time visitor?

Any deals for getting a new players cards for the first time?

Parking tips?

Does this poker room have any unusual rules?

People just used those tables for chip dumping.

Could it be because an unprotected hand could be used by the player beside it when no one is looking?

Same could be said about tourneys tho...they always deal to dead stacks.

Question to the 2+2 community about opening a credit line at Borgata. Would think this would be no problem except that I recently went to apply at a not-to-be-named-PA-casino and they said credit lines are for slots and 'other' table games, but not for poker. Does the same rule apply at Borgata, or can poker-only players use a credit line? Since cash machines usually have a $1000/day max withdrawl, a credit line could get me around those rare occasions where I get the "ATM Heisman" and have to wait until 12:01 to get more money out
