Question, does anybody keep track of their hours and their comps? 1/2 is $1.5 per hour right? And 2/5 is $2. For some reason I am always short? This weekend I played 27.25 hours at 2/5, 3.5 at 1/2 so should be $59.75 but got $57. Or is 1/2 $1? Or do they always round down which has to be the case.

If you stayed in a room you probably paid the $5 fee with your comps. Maybe the dealer didn't swipe you in or swiped you late in one of your sessions.

That is my guess as well. Maybe they only round down to a quarter of an hour, a half hour who knows? Just makes me crazy when the numbers don't add up.

Mid/late this afternoon there were 50+ tables in the room for the tournament and 150+ people waiting for NL cash. When they were scrambling to switch tables from tourney to cash as tables opened in the Event Center there was way more demand for NLHE than for PLO. As they're able to move more tourney players into the Event Center and get more cash tables, they'll surely open some PLO, although the NLHE lists are still huge and table totals just a little over normal levels. And since the day's tournament is NLHE, it's reasonable to think that's what people who bust out will come looking for. Running at capacity with a huge excess of demand, they have to do what they think will satisfy the most people the soonest.

Yes and I round down to the quarter of an hour. I only really starting paying attention last few times, and last 2 times it was off by $1 or so, so I didn't care. I will see what happens next time, but it is never $ ahead of my calculations.

Partial hours count. If they round, it's to 10 minutes. I have a 4.90 and and 8.40 in my list of when they'll expire, from 1/2NL at $1/hr. The current rate for 1/2 is $1.50.

Does anybody have a sure answer to this? I'd put it in the FAQ, but I don't know the answer. I think it's no, but I've seen suggestions back in the thread that you can but only from inside, or only for high-limit games.

Do they put you in the "lobby" in Bravo when you step away from the table? If so, all those bathroom breaks can add up and could account for the missing time/comps.

Borgata poker room does not penalize you for bathroom breaks, there have been a lot of omaha games in past 48 hours, and if you like the tnmts, you will love the cash games! 56 live games now, including several omaha games! I play 1-2 and 2-5 as well and keep track of my hours and am never short comps, I try and play an extra 12 minutes if in doubt since I think bravo clicks your time 5 or 6 times an hour...
