It seems as though i need to clarify a few things. First, on the game report, if you see the 40-80 game listed as it is below. The (9) does not mean its a nine game mix. It means that the table is capped at 9 players.

40-80 Mix (9) 1
100-200 Mix (8) 1

The (8) means the game is capped at 8 players.

was wondering this too. i'll be heading down for my 3rd consecutive saturday for some 5/10 (maybe 10/25) and was considering finally staying this weekend instead of driving home but it's a bit too pricey at ~300.

showboat usually offers sat night rooms for $215 or so, you might want to check them out.

Right now isnt the best time to get comped rooms, because May-August is way more expensive. Last year I didnt even go once during those months. But as a 5/10 and 10/25 player I would guess you could get better offers than me.

Actually, as I think about it, it'd be impossible for 9 people to play Triple Draw or Badugi.

I know it's hard to go back to yesterday's posts but..

There are a few new games that can be added to the mix which include: badacey, badeucey, razzdacey and razzdeucey(you can google the games for more info). Stan also came up with a new variation of Holdem but we almost never include Holdem in our mix anyway so we're not going to be adding the new version any time soon.

We almost never play stud/no qualifier(Q) anymore because it's very hard to scoop in that game,so, when the hand is heads up there is little or no money to be made.

To be clear, yes, we can play any game that is approved to be played but the average number of games played in the 40 mix is around four and the only two games that are the staple games of the mix are Omaha8 and Stud8. We did play badacey and badeucey this weekend and the games were fun IMO.

The 300/600 mix game is something different all together; these guys play NL, limit, they'll play any game, make goofy prop bets, anything for a rush.

If anyone is ever interested in playing mix, you'll be better off calling the high limit podium directly and ask them which games are being played as the game report is not always accurate when pertaining to mix games because we add/remove games from the mix throughout the day.

And sorry that i"m not Stan, but actually, we play the 40 mix game with 8 players, not 9.

Also, you made a previous comment about it being impossible to play badugi 9 handed. Not true. Things just chose to make the game 8 handed.

No offense intended to you; a "Rush17 is right" post from Stan would be sufficient.

Hey I wasn't offended (just maybe a little bored from reading the same thing over and over about one subject).

And this is no offense to Stan, but, for someone who plays this game all the time, i"m probably going to be able to provide you with more info about the overall ins/outs of the game. But other than that, of course Stan is def. the one to go to.

Following the games around. Sounds like I've been missing some good ones at Borgata, though.

can you guys at borgata eliminate the rule of racks on the table that are NOT in play....an angle shooting scumbag was pulling that **** yesterday and tried to take the money off the table.

is it that much to ask for someone to take a 2 min walk to the window or color up through the dealer and put the money in his pocket?

The lock box waiting list sucks. They need to figure a way to please a few more people. I'm there weekly and I travel via bus from NYC play 5-10 and up. Lot of the people that have boxes are locals. It sucks
