Yes but in the past it would have to be pocket pairs for quads, even if both cards played. Is that the same now for the full houses?

In other words, on an:

AAK85 board, A8 loses to AK and both hands qualify for the AAA88 bad beat and use both cards - but would this count? Or would it have to be something like A88K5, with AA losing to 88?

This is a significant development and displays a first, Borgata Is announcing an intention to fight for low limit players, unheard of in the pre-parx/maryland live! Era. This will help force other AC poker rooms to offer competitive promotions.

This is probably in response to parx adding a bbj, not cet promos

It is because the room is empty and efforts to fill the room with mid-limit players has failed. Also, you can't think they failed to observe the recent success of the Golden Nugget promotions

Well that is why they have fine print, yes I see it now.

There didn't seem to be any relevant fine print on the mailer.

It seems to mean the small jackpot, but it doesn't actually say that or anything about hole cards required.

The day after the Bad Beat Frenzy reaches $50k, the qualifier drops to AAAKK beaten at noon, AAAQQ at 4pm, AAAJJ at 8pm. The next day, AAATT at noon, AAA99 at 4pm, AAA88 at 8pm and stays there until it hits.

The small jackpot is 1/4 of the big, up to $50k, and when it hits the big is reduced by $50k. This will keep the big from getting as big as it just was, won't it? We should see more small hits, theoretically spreading the money around more and encouraging people to come for a better shot at a small payout rather than only coming for a long shot at a big one. Right?

Correct, and you need to use both hole cards!

True half the dealers had no idea today what we were talking about.

BTW had a comps question. I keep getting these offers for a free buffet for me and a guest. Do I need to visit the card stands and print anything or just go and present my card?

Thanks

I thought I had reached the hours minimum for March to qualify for bonus comp dollars but I didn't see it listed on my account page. Does anyone know how those comps normally show up?

in the past bonus comps needed to be activated by inserting your card in a slot machine within the alloted time(usually within 2 weeks)

Thanks !!

I agree, most people will not know of the new promotion, you still get so many people always asking if there is a bad beat jackpot. I can see somebody folding AAA88 and not knowing it qualifies.

Bonus Comp Dollars for your Live Action play (March 1 - 31, 2014).

Bonus Comp Dollars must be activated between April 5 – 30, 2014.

Does anyone know how to get old borgata tournament receipts? I need them to produce proof of my play but nobody at the borgata seems to be able to help me.

The bad beat frenzy starts on April 15. It. Is a promotion offered by the poker room.

I came here to report back on this very topic. You beat me to it!

I love the Borgata but I'm kind of annoyed that my mailer said "Starting in April" on the back and had hardly any info inside (no date), the website doesn't acknowledge the promotion at all, the dealers I asked had never heard of this as of last night, when I asked the floor they didn't know about it, brought me to the manager who told me it starts 4/15.

I would have been pretty pissed if I didn't ask for more details, my table hit what should have been the qualifications "starting in April," and we were denied because the manager verbally says so with no documentation. IMO this is the best poker room in AC, and I'm not sure what the intent is here, but this promotion feels half-assed.

Details on the bad beat frenzy?

There needs to be 50k for small BBJ which as of today its not.The promotion is only good if there is the maximum amount in the small BBJ

I see what you're saying, but that leaves me wondering where the poker manager got 4/15 from. Dipce has the same info so it can't simply be a mistake. Right now the small is $48,996. They can't possibly know it'll be full precisely on 4/15. Also, why would they only mention this in the mailer, with no date, and not educate the dealers/floor about it? Wouldn't the whole point of something called a frenzy be to stir up interest?

Also the next part that's unclear would be if the AAAKK would require a KK or AA in the hole, or if AK with the right board would qualify. It's still using 2 hole cards, but the official rules say you need a pocket pair for quads, and say nothing about a FH, since this promo seems to be in stealth mode.

I would think it got onto the mailer by accident and they didn't want to mention it before the 15th, except it's also mentioned on the back if the mailer. That would be a pretty big mistake if so, and unlikely.

Maybe it's a level and they wanted some nitty PITA like me to complain about it on this board for free advertising... NH Borgata

i had to do this at foxwoods a few years ago when i was looking for anything i could to write off…you basically get a printout of all your play at the casino….i had to do it for tax purposes so maybe use that angle…call and tell them you need your yearly report…you will have to go there and sign off to get it though

Possibly, but also possibly if the small is 50k before the 14 or 15, it may start after it hits...(because it did not reach 50k on or after the 15th, details still being worked out...

i hate that they changed this. they should either keep it the way it was originally or get rid of it all together.

I would think people would like that it is easier to get the small bbj.

How long do the 1 day large field tournaments usually take from start to FT? I am thinking about going down for 100k GTD on 4/16 which should get at least 400-500 runners.
