Lot of other poker rooms are doing the 1/2 and 1/3 now if not just 1/3.
When Johnny came up from MGM National Harbor to help open the borgata, that whole region only spreads 1/3 400 max and 2/5 1K max (Maryland Live, Baltimore Horseshoe, and MGM) so he tried to start it up here which makes a lot more sense. The only difference is you don't have a bunch of nits buying in for $60 and waiting all day to jam with aces or kings. They should be in limit games.
If Borgata next door has 2/5 200-1K, it would be dumb for harrah's to spread 1/3 which is also 200-1K. And yes Harrah's hardy got any 2/5 games going, but trust me, if they ran the same games as borgata upon reopening, they would get multiple 2/5 games every day ainec (I played at Mt Airy few weeks ago until it closed that never got 2/5 off either, even on a saturday night, but they had at least 2 every day for weeks and they were good games).
