I believe the original was AAAJJ had to be beat by s
A bigger hand and both hole cards had to be pairs or suited connectors for the straight flush.

If they insist on having a BBJ then this is better than the old way but getting rid of it altogether would be the best thing they could do. I HATE paying into some BBJ I will probably never win every time I win a pot. I play poker because I want to PLAY POKER, not to hope to get lucky with some stupid jackpot.

Wow that needs to be clarified, myself and many other people were in the understanding that a AAJKQ board could yield many bad beat possibilities, but now I hear AK vs AQ or AJ would not qualify at all. BUT a flop of AAA would qualify against 2 pocket pairs higher then 8.

Any of you guys are playing the Spring Open?

I'm thinking of playing cash as the only tournaments are the senior, ladies, and the $2,500+$200 5 day event....I know unlucky right? Anyway planning on some cash games...does anyone know if the cash games will be more packed because of the tournaments going on?

According to the Borgata Poker Blog, you can register online for Spring Open tournaments. However, the link they provide doesn't lead to any registration page.

Is online registration no longer possible?

Ok. I've never played any of these big event #1s at Borgata. Is there any possibility of day 1d (Thu 7pm) selling out?

Thanks for any help.

Phaze, did you pop your card in a slot machine post April 5th? That's how you unlock the bonus. No play necessary and it's instantaneous.

No problem. I think table game refers to blackjack or pai gow, etc. I've done this a few times and poker doesn't activate it.

Three weeks ago I sat next to a guy playing online poker on his tablet while he played 1-2 live. I couldn't see which site it was.

Party has mobile app that you can 1 table cash.

You can play anywhere in casino.

On wsop and 888, the ip will block you from playing at any cash tables with someone else at borgata sitting, this was a pain during the winter series.
