Stan,

The Bravo poker app has been upgraded to include the number of people on waiting lists for each game, including interest lists, but for some reason the lists for Borgata aren't included. Could you get the waiting lists updated as well?

Thanks,

i play at foxwoods and borgata and hated the borg chips at first but now i really don't mind em at all and love the fact that they aren't covered in filth. or at least they don't seem to be filthy like the woods chips.

Stan,

Are the structures for these two events posted online somewhere:

Event #7 11am $260 + $40 Deep Stack Semi Turbo NL (Re-Entry)
Event #28 7pm $100 + $30 + $50 Double Green Chip Bounty NL

I am torn as to which event I would like to play and seeing the structures could help me make an informed decision.

Thanks!

Thinking of playing more live tourneys ...

is this typical in tournaments because thats beyond rediculous

I always thought Borgata chips were the easiest to shuffle because they're nice and smooth instead of sticky and gross. Why is the general consensus the opposite?

I always thought and think that shuffling chips is a pointless exercise, and that the only people who do it are trying to make others and themselves believe that they are good at poker.

yeah well, you're over thinking it. it's just something to do with your hands and both bad & good players do it.

Is the shedule correct? (i.e. a 25k starting stack for 170+30- but only a 20k starting stack for the 200+30 tournament)

Just asking cos I need to choose which ONE to play (since I cant take both days off work)

So whats the answer STAN?

one little thing Borgata does right that I have to point out - Stan, thank you continuing to be transparent about your buyins and entry fees by listing them as $x+$y. a lot of rooms just list their tournaments as "$300 buyin" and you have to investigate to differentiate the buy-in from the entry fee.

Yesterday my comp balance was a few cents short of letting me and a guest into the brunch buffet for $10 a piece (room occupancy fee wiped out $5 of comps when I checked out -- whoops). I headed over to the poker room and explained the situation to the shift manager. Although he couldn't make an adjustment on my card, he gave me a $20 buffet comp which worked just as well. Great customer service!

3rd man walking is apparently now on 10/20 LHE, the rules at the podium include this gem...

Any player picked up as a result of 3mw goes to the bottom of the list on his/her return.

No more waiting an hour, huzzah! (Might have to bribe people to take a walk to utilize it, w/e)

Whoa whoa, they are handing out buffet comps now? This is pretty solid. Anything you need to do to qualify for it? I love the buffet! I know some people hate on it, but I think it is delicious!
