Ughm... I started the actual "Kellie is the hottest" post so I'm not disputing that... Yessy is just a different type of fine.

I will be there till 8, J. Say what up.

PS. The hormone level in this thread is at a new high.

Do you call your host and ever ask for anything? That's the way it usually works. Unless you show a lot of play at the casino, and they want you back to give them action, they wont reach out to you voluntarily.

What level of play do you give them? What games? Usually a Host won't contact you unless you are a very big player...however they are very receptive if you reach out to them.

What level player are? (Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Seven Stars)?

Especially during the summer I would advise you to go ahead and make reservations for each weekend for about 4-6 weeks out, then if you end up not going down, just call on thursday and cancel....I believe their cancelation policy is 24 hours, but you might want to check.

Also, again, during the summer, there is a general lack of rooms in AC...this should be lightening up with the two new towers open at Borgata and at Harrahs....

Go to Harrahs and enter your Total Reward number and pin and then click on reservations and see what kind of rate you get....

Just to up the testosterone level a bit more:

Rank you preference:

Kellie
Yessica
Lillianna
Fui
Allison
Jacklyn
Nadia
Mervat

Add your own preference

Finally, someone mentions Jacklyn!! (she's tall, slender, blondish hair, right?).

Def # 1 (admittedly I'm not sure I know who Yessica is).

Jacklyn...more light brown that blonde....but yes, tall, slender, very hot!

Yessica, short (5'4" maybe), shoulder length reddish brown hair, was a dealer, just started floor 2 weeks ago.

Personally, I find it hard to rank them...they are all Nice, Attractive and Hot!!!!!!

Definately one of the main attractions of the Showboat Poker Room!!!!! (no offense xxRod17xx)

Well at the boat i usually play 2/5 and 5/5 and when i play mess around with blackjack usually 25 -50 a hand and if winning more then that..... it just makes me mad that everytime i call down there a week before the casino host tells me no openings... AC completey sold out

Yes, that's her...mama mia.

Agreed! It is even close vs other rooms in AC.

The poker really doesn't count....but the BlackJack should. Do you give them your Total Rewards card when you sit down at BJ table?...How many Hours of BJ would you say you play in a day?

What level Total Rewards are you? How Many Points (pm me if you don't want to say out in the open)? If you "just make diamond" you're probably not giving enough play for a comp'd room....

You may want to do it through the website and see if you get a deal that way. (you just have to put in your TR # and Pin)

Also, as I said earlier, what you may want to do is instead of calling down a couple of days before, set up a whole bunch of ressies out 4-6 weeks and then cancel if you have to.

In a previous post, I agreed that the Showboat sucks as far as working with poker players interms of weekend room discounts etc....especially during the summer....Hopefully I will be able to sit down with the Poker room manager and his boss the tables game manager and let them know who much it is annoying their players and hurting their ability to build up the room with bigger games.

People who want to play bigger games and therefore but more money out on the table, expect to get a little something back, even if its just a poker rate and the ability to get a room on short notice.

Finally, you may want to switch hosts....if your current one isn't helping you out.

I have had some success getting rooms very, very last minute on summer Saturday's, like 1-2pm on Satuday. Normally if there isnt an event in town (like a fight/decent concert at Borgata, etc) and the weather is going to be so-so they end up not selling out now and then and seem to open up comped rooms. I'm not a big pit player by any means, have a Platinum card, so I would imagine a 50+ BJ player could get something. I've found the best bet to be just check the Harrahs website often with your TR #. Also, it seems that Harrah's is the easiest to get a room at but if you're staying there is a free shuttle to Showboat anyway.

Edit: Posted before seeing Beaudog's....his response much more comprehensive.

That's cause I am a blabbermouth!

well im only a gold memeber last year i was up to 3,990 tier points needed 10 to go over the top, couldnt get down there in time though....
I know poker doesnt comp that much in relation to tables games, im usually a winning blackjack player so i usually i take the winnings to the poker room.

LASt night at the borgata playing 2/5 for a hour and then a bunch of 100$ a hand blackjack and i got a free room.... i dont know about the showboat anymore

I want the 5 or 7 star card so i can get free rounds of golf at the AC country club..... 5 handicap

Haha, not at all. Your info on this thread has been quite good, imo.

It's "7 Stars" and the good news is it is ONLY 100,000 tier credits. LOL.

1 day i will be there .....

OK....lets get a little serious here...

If you played BJ at the showboat for $100 a throw and actually played for more than a few minutes, you could get a room on a weekday at the Showboat as well...the problem is the weekend. With less than 5000 TR points it sounds like you either are not handing over your Players card to get rated when you sit down to play BJ or you are not playing very long or very consistently (which quite frankly is probably a good thing).

With less than 5000 points on the weekends you are not going to get much of anything. The Casino gives comps for play, not just because....

As for the Seven Stars, that is 100,000 points, that = $500,000 worth of play (not necessarily losses, but play), if I was you I would simply make a tee time and play the course and pay the greens fees...it will be a whole lot cheaper in the long run.

Remember this...to get a comp'd room at any casino you have to have put enough money at risk at the casino so that they feel that they had a chance to let their house edge work and to make enough money off you to justify the "expense" it costs them to give you a free room (overhead, cleaning, security, etc)... Often if you really work out the numbers you will see that it would be cheaper to just pay for the room and then play poker, and forget about the games with a house edge....

If you like playing BJ or Slots or whatever, and you end up playing enough to get comp'd, remember that in effect you already paid for the room. Most likely you lost enough at BJ to have paid for the room.

As for getting a room at Showboat on the weekend (comp'd or not), because of its size and # of rooms, you have to plan ahead during the summer months....so make a bunch of reservations now for August and September and then cancel them if you end up not going to AC.

Then if you have played BJ you can always use the "comp dollars" you earn playing to help defray the costs, if your host won't retroactively comp the room.

What a host will often do is look at your comp dollars, use those, then no charge the remainder.

For example, When I went to Vegas for 6 days with GF (stayed at the rio), between hotel room, room service, restaurant meals, various shows (penn & teller are great), bar bills when in lounge, incidentals charged to room, etc...I ran up at the rio of about $1,200...I had about $500 in comp dollars available, the host (my ac host contacted a host in LV to take care of me), used the $500 to off-set some of the bill and then simply "comp'd" me the remaining $700, so I had a zero $$$ out of pocket for all expenses.

I'll be in AC this weekend if you want to discuss this somemore.

Showboat just doesn't have any rooms to be able to offer. Its easy for Harrah's to offer rooms to poker players on the weekend. The new tower at Harrahs has more rooms than the whole Showboat.

First of all, I love that this thread is still goin strong. I figured it would die off after the big tourney.

Second of all, I really wish I could get into that 5/5 game. It sounds great. Unfortunately I am way under rolled even for 1/2 and the $65 weekday tourneys (and in the midst of a nasty downswing *sigh*). I am seriously considering swinging down tomorrow though!!

Third of all, while I wouldn't call myself a regular, I've played at the Boat a buncha times over the past 2 years and I still have no frikkin clue who Rod is lol

P.S. last time I was down there (the day of the big tourney) I know Yessica dealt my table for a bit but for the life of me I cannot remember how she looks. Kellie and Jaclyn on the other hand.......

Im not saying all i do is play blackjack I play more poker then anything, it just sucks that you have to log in some serious hours to get comps... I mostly play 2/5 and when the 5/5 game is running im in that but to get a diamond or plat card you have to play 6 days a week for 6 months to get anything rolling

BEaudog I have more then 45,000 TR points but I was talking about the tier score to get the next cards

See you guys tonight. Hopefully the 5/5 or at least the 2/5 table will be running when I get there at 7. If not, I'll hop on the list and donk around on the 1/2 tables. :-)

I didn't mean to sound condesending or anything and if I did I am sorry.

What I was getting at is that for comp'd rooms, etc...they base it all on Tier points....while the "comp points" can help you offset costs of rooms etc... If you have 45,000 TR points that = $450 worth of comp dollars that can go directly to paying for rooms etc....

It is true that for table games it is a factor of both size of bet and time, its all based on average bet x time played (for slots its coin in).

I would talk to your host and see whats up and why your not able to get a comp'd or at least discounted room...but I think if your Tier points are under 5000 they'll say you don't have enough play...I know it sucks but its their rules...

As a poker players....the tier points we earn for our time at the tables is very low...and if you think about it..it makes sense....

At BJ, say house edge = 2% (for non-card counter and close to perfect basic strategy)...you bet $50 per hand, 60 hands per hour: 50 x 60 = $3,000 x 2% (0.02) = $60 for the casino.

Poker player, max rake at showboat table $4 per hand...say avg 9 people at table...with shuffler 40 hands per hour (a little high, but err on the side of the casino's take) with max rake taken everyhand, not strange in 2/5 or 5/5 game...that means that the poker table will generate $160 in rake per hour, your share of that (1/9th) = $17.78

BJ = $60/hr is much better for the casino than poker = $18/hr

You play BJ for 6 hours casino will expect to yield $360 from you, poker for 6 hours only $108....if they fill room with paying customer they get $250 (weekend rate).

For BJ they make $110
for Poker they lose $132

As I said, it really sucks for us Poker players but then we are playing a game with a +EV not the casino games which are -EV...in the end we WIN!!!!!!

See you tonight....I am out of here.

I used to play w/ Snake years ago at Trop. He is a gypsy/Roma. He drinks alot and plays very LAG. HE took a lot of money from me w/ some crazy hand like 74 I had AA he rivers the 2 pair.

There is actually a group of these gypsies that play around town, some of them collude I've seen them at the Taj doing this. But they are generally bad/losing players.

Snake is actually real fun at a LAggy 2/4 LHE game when you've had a few drinks...

So, after playing at the Borgata for a few hours tonight, I decided to head over to Showboat to check out their new room and see if the 5/5 game lives up to all the hype.
Got over there, sat in a 2/5 game while waiting for a 5/5 seat. This game was absolutely awful. Eventually sit in the 5/5 seat. Somewhat uneventful until I make a terrible call and sucked out. Left a few hands later.

Room's kinda nice, but I definitely prefer the Borgata. (Rake and BBJ suck, imo) Action in the 5/5 game is pretty good. Some really bad players, but also a lot of regulars.
I think the real draw to this room are all the female floors. Kellie's very attractive, and probably the nicest and most personal floor I've dealt with.
May go play the 5/5 game again tomorrow for a few hours. May just hang out at the Borg.
