this sounds awful

is the rake in 5/10 nl and 5/5 plo 7 per half no jackpot?

how about 1/2 plo rake?

thanks

+1. Someone said this is the case at Live too, but I've never noticed it before until I played at MGM (and I played at Live a good amount)

When requested, the dealer should be responding with an exact count. The chips should be counted and stacked. Historically, one of the reasons dealers do not announce bet sizes in No limit and pot limit is because players didnt want the dealer handling the money every time it was placed into the pot. Hence, to announce every bet, the dealer would have to guess at the amount, and would be wrong on occasion. When this happened, if a player acted on the incorrect betting call, then the dealer was liable for the error. Imagine how well that worked...

Yes. $7 per half no jackpot.

1/2 PLO is 10% $5 no jackpot.

It would be. Fortunately, that's not policy here. It's a dealer making an error.

how can the dealer combine/push the pot without touching it every time?

So its better that every single time theres a mush of chips out there you have to slow the game down - completely unnecessarily?

I wont speak for anyone else but in the 20+ years I've been playing I honestly dont think I've ever heard of anyone complaining about the dealer handling the chips.

What exactly is wrong with a dealer cleaning up a chip-pile thats been bet and announcing the bet? Because they might make a mistake? First, I dont think that happens. Second, if it did, I have no doubt another player would immediately correct it. The benefits of a much more efficient and fast game with more hands being dealt seems to *far* outweigh the endless string of "how much is that".

100% on board with the dealer counting out the bet when it's pushed forward. Players already take enough time "thinking" about the decision, and 9 times out of 10 before taking action they'll now ask "how much is it" and hem & haw over the decision again. This is even worse when they are just saving face and never had the intention of calling.

Heading out from Philly in the AM to check it out. Limit player. Fingers crossed for bigger than 4/8, but it will do. Likely will be representing the Sparties somehow.

Sorry if this was answered looked through the thread and didn't see it.

I saw that you can match your borgata black card.

Are you able to transfer your borgata comps to use at mgm since their system still isn't on mlife? Or are they to be kept separately and can't spend them there. Thanks

Can't transfer comps to/from borgata

There should be a way to do this, but for what ever reason there isn't.

Very silly

If so, any shot they'll match an expired Borgata black card?

+1 to dealers counting bets. Current way slows things way down. Fwiw Mdl definitely has dealers count and announce the bets immediately without any prompting from a players.

They haven't fully migrated borgatas system and mlife together yet

I Like having dinner lists. The are great. 4 hour wait is not. Players should be able to eat anytime they want since someone is taking their place anyway.

The question I have is this: lets say you have $2000 in your stack. Now you take that and have to either carry it with you in your pockets to dinner or go to the dreaded cashier cage to cash out or color up. Half of you dinner break will be taken up by going to the cashier cage twice, before and after dinner.
Not good.

Quick trip report (first visit): Played 1-3 from about 11 pm to 1:15 am yesterday night. Overall, I was very impressed with the room, short wait, quality of the dealers (for the most part), drink service, etc.

Had a great time and really only two minor things came up that I'll mention in the vein of constructive feedback:

1. One of my cards slid under the rail three or four times during the session - Definitely not a big deal at all

2. A lot of discussion, and some disagreement among staff, re whether it's OK in a heads up situation to talk about your own hand, including declaring your hole cards (just talking - not showing any cards). Ultimately, I believe the final view was that it's OK to do so.

Excellent experience overall - Thanks Johnny!!

You can't even use your poker comps for non food items at MGMNH. I doubt they will be integrating across properties. You can't migrate comps between MGM Vegas properties for poker either.

As mentioned many times ITT, there is a solution coming for this issue. Please be patient. The solution will be a positive change for everyone involved.

Johnny: keep up the good work. You are doing a great job.

Any interest in trying to arrange a low stakes limit Mixed game for Monday the 26th in the afternoon? Maybe Holdem, Omaha, stud at 4/8 or 8/16?

I am interested. Please let me know if you get enough to start anything. We will have a table waiting for you.

I could be talked into playing on Monday. Why not just a 6/12 HORSE game?

Sounds good to me. What do we need to do to make it happen?
