I've gotten 4 room keys for comped rooms. I've never even thought to mention how many people were staying in the room when making the reservation.

When I check in, they ask me if there will be others staying in the room, if there are I give their names and keys are waiting for them at the front desk.

As long as you earn 1000 comp dollars between now and that date, you will qualify.
Online, Borgata says I need $1000 comp dollars by June 10th 2012 to qualify. This makes it seem as if black card isn't calculated on a rolling 12 month period. If it is, then that's awesome.

Does anyone know how they calculate comps for video poker? Or cash back? I've been searching online but I can't find anything.

I understood that you're supposed to show 1 key for each person. I've seen a bunch of people get stopped because they didn't have keys for every person. I'm just telling you what I observed, and what I think the official policy is. You guys do whatever you have to do.

I'm not saying you can't fit 7 people in your room by doing shady stuff with your keys. That's on you. I'm just telling you ahead of time so you don't check in 2 people and then try to walk to the door with 8 guys using 2 keys, because that's not going to work.

It's really not that hard to get rooms if you come with any frequency unless you're trying to get Saturday.

Stan,
I was wondering about creating a 1 2 NL game that has an ANTE! the game would be
1 2 NL where THe BB Posts the ANTE as well X where X is the # of players Delt in to the game. THe game also would have a Min and MAX buy in of 300 - 500

w/ a normal 1 2 Rake structure? or is this going to be a time game?

Could this game be run in your room? would this game have interest from 2+2 forum readers? I will be in town this week as of monday

I think that would be very interesting. IDK what kind of ante there would be, unless it was a $1 ante, which would be pretty high. It would probably work better as a 2/5 game with a 500/800 buyin with a $1 ante, especially because doing an ante game with the typical 1/2 crowd would be a disaster and take forever.

The Bike has a 5/5 game that has a 5 dollar ante, and a min buy in of 1000. It plays HUGE, equivalent of a 10/20 game with action pre and post flop absolutely nuts.

Only problem again is that the average player is not going to understand or want to play this game, and it will be the same thing as the 6 max 3/5 games, that the fish gets broke, then you have 5 nitty grinders all look at each other with a "wtf" look... and then the table breaks.

Played in the Saturday $100,000 guarantee yesterday, and as much as I'm a fan of The Borgata, I was rather surprised at how poorly the tournament was run once the daytime shift ended. It was very frustrating to the players, and I feel like we deserve better, given the amount of juice we're paying.

Stan - Floor ruling that I’m a bit curios of: I was in the small blind. There was action before me (bet and one caller). I looked at my hand for the first time and discovered that I was dealt 3 cards (2 were stuck together- this was also a new deck of cards). My hands was dead, but it was not determine a miss deal. Was this correct?

Apologies if this should go in a different thread...

In this situation does the player get his SB back or is it the players responsibility to make sure he has two cards before any action takes place? Sometimes I don't look at my cards until the action is on me, so although this has never happened to me it easily could have.

Yes, 100% correct. Once there's action, you're SOL.

Not 100% sure if Borgata is the same as Parx but I think it has to be a raise. If someone just limps I don't think the rules deem that as "significant" action. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is no offense to you, but just think how silly that sounds; if this actually is the rule at Parx, omg is that bad!

Ok, so I limp in, but, the $ that i just put into the pot isn't "significant" enough therefore it doesn't count? what if seven players limped in, are you saying it would be a misdeal? Of course not.

when they say "significant action", they are referring to the *number of players* who already called, whether anyone raised or not is actually insignificant.

Having two players put $ in the pot def. constitutes S.A.

Its three people acting

what they do, raise/call/fold, isn't relevant

Action is action, raise or no raise. It's all significant action. The hand is dead, he loses w/e he had posted in his blind.
The "significant action" rule is not based on the amount of $ one person puts in the pot, it is usually determined by the amount of players that have acted. If UTG calls and immediately the SB realizes and says "hey I have 3 cards", it is probably going to be called a misdeal. However, if UTG calls, there is a fold and another call, the floor may rule that there has been significant action and the SB should've spoken up sooner. This will probably be room/floor dependent, because each situation will likely be somewhat different.

yeah I know it's not based on the $ amount someone puts in.

The rest of it you explained on point.

I agree this is the standard rule, though I don't like it. This problem wouldn't apply to the SB, but many times I have been the button and 2 or more people have acted before I even received my second card. What if 3 people acted before button has all his cards? Then if he gets the wrong number, tough luck no matter how quickly he notices??

Yes, you would lose your blind, but if you don't like looking at your cards until the action gets to you, well, you can resolve that very easily by just counting the cards face down to make sure the number is correct and then look at them when it's your turn. (hopefully you don't take forever to make a decision), but w/e.
