As some one who play mostly at PARX, the few time I play PLO at the Borgata it hasn't been friendly at all. Just the overall general attitude of the player pool.

Just last week I have a player at my table saying they would never play that 5/5 game.

I haven't been to River for PLO yet, but will check it out in the near future. I really hope it's a nicely run game, because that would save 30mins from my commute.

How many runners are there usually in the 7pm tourneys on Mon and Wed?
Haven’t been there in months but I want to play a tourney. I always make money playing cash at the 1/2 tables but I’m in mood for a tourney.

I’ll be there on Wed for the guarantee tourney at 7. Maybe play a little 2/5 before it starts.

^^ Thanks for the info.

Only 5 tables huh? I think i'll play the Wed guarantee for sure.

BTW Alonso one vote away for unanimous NL Rookie of the year. There always has to be that contrarian voter to eff things up. He probably did it for a little notoriety and recognition.

Is this walking distance from 30th station?

No, but it's a 15 minute Uber ride ($10-$15). Or you can brave Philly public transit and pay $2.50 to take the "El" (aka Market-Frankford Line).

The SEPTA station for the El is right across the street from 30th St Station. Board the eastbound train towards Frankford and then get off at Spring Garden or Girard. From either station it's about 10 minutes to walk to Rivers. Girard is a little closer, but if you're coming or going late at night I would suggest using Spring Garden because your walk will be along well-lit main roads. On the other hand, Girard is near lots of cool restaurants and bars, including Joe's Steaks (best cheesesteak in the city IMO). The El runs until midnight or so on the weekdays, all night on Fri-Sat.

Don’t ever eat Pat’s or Geno’s. They’re both terrible and just tourist traps. Geno’s in Rivers is somehow worse than real Geno’s, which is a feat in it of itself.

New pizza place in Rivers is also pretty below average. Had it once, will not be having it again.

If you're on regional rail or some other SEPTA service, you could also keep going to Jefferson Station at 8th and Market which is 22 blocks closer and an easier walk/uber.

Anyone know why the poker part of their site is down? No tourney info or calendar.

Was just there and poker was good. But no drinks or food served in the building so it is hard to play a long sesh without drinking. For smokers you have to go all the way outside and whenever you come back you have to stand in line and get your temp checked and show your id every time. I like the masks mandate and the plexiglass cubbies are great. I also prefer 7 handed because more action and more leg and elbow room. Probably won't be going back until they start serving drink(water and coffee is fine).

Do they have bottled water? And if not, do they allow you to bring in water bottles from outside?
