This will not work because the computers have a special coating on the screen that prevents them from showing up in photography.

I doubt this. Most likely the shutter speed is just too fast.

I understand that borgata wants to make as much money as possible but am I the only one bothered that there is not ONE 10 handed Holdem event that is either not a rebuy or bounty event.

It's even worse than that because the rebuy is dead and everything is re-entry now which means you pay the vig twice. Unless that's what you meant in which case pardon me.

So fine. People shouldn't say it "wouldn't" have happened. But it would have been exceedingly unlikely to happen, unlike the current state where it did in fact happen.

So if you really want to be nitty about it they should discount his share by the percentage chance that it would have been hit had he stayed. So by some amount under 1%.

That being said I wouldn't ever expect people to give me anything in this scenario. And I'm not sure I would give someone anything, because I would probably be negative freerolling (they wouldn't pay me if the situation was the other way around).

i hit one at the taj and there was a guy there who had sat down and not yet posted...it hit and some of these guys broke him off...i didnt give him anything and wouldnt expect to be given anything...i just hooked up the dealer...besides that, props to the borgata...as a foxwoods regular, i wish i could say the B was my spot...everytime i come here its nothing but a great experience and i dread going back to the woods

I'll be heading down to AC tomorrow night late (9:00ish). I'm new to the live game, but is there anyway to get a comped room the night of or do you usually need to book way in advance?

I tried searching through this thread, but's it quite a behemoth. Can anybody help? Thank you for your time.

re: I'm new to the live game

try sending a PM with your card number or an e-mail to the poker room director:

Stan at Stanstrickland@theborgata.com

...if you play this weekend, you may receive a room offer shortly thereafter...however,
for a comped room tomorrow, prior play...

no one's going to tell him if he plays enough of 20/40 or higher that he will without a doubt get free rooms...basically whenever he wants

I'll be there around 10pm and will play a pink chip/10-20 mixed as long as it includes all the new games. Think that makes 3 of us if you're in, and I'm cool starting 3handed to get interest going.

There is a good chance I'm in for around 11pm or so. Have to put in some hours at 20/40 Stud first

But I'm not sure if I want to play all of the new games. I think Badeucey and Badaci are very slow. Same thing with those Razz split pot games. Maybe one of each would be cool.

But I'll wander over and see what you guys are playing

I was planning on starting an interest list for 20/40. Playing TOE and addding a few of the new games

Triple Draw
Omaha Hi/Lo
Stud Hi/Lo
Razz
Badugi
PLO ($2/$5 or $1/$2)
NLHE ($2/$5 or $1/$2)
