If construction is going on from Pa border, you are better off going route 22 (exit 3 in jersey) to 378 into Bethlehem. It adds about 15 min to the trip but is worth the drive around unless you like sitting in traffic.

+1
Easy access to Rt. 22 at the Phillipsburg exit and then smooth sailing from there.

at 3/6 from a mathematical perspective you can beat it over short sessions I believe once you hit around 6.5 hours its almost impossible

This post hits it right on the head. Yes there are 3 or 4 of us in the O8 game that know each other but not once will you ever be able to call us out on soft playing. We play our hands like we are playing stangers. simple as that. I have run down and been run down by people in that game that I would call my friends outside of the casino. Its the nature of the game. I would never want to play in a game where the regulars work together to squeeze you out of Pots. Just my opinion

I was the player that suggested the jump to 10/20 20/40 as I was stuck 480 in the game. I rebought for 500 and was the short stack in the game other players playing about 600 with one guy playing closer to 1500. as you said it's limit ans cash played also.

Didn't know cash plays at the Sands in some games. Is this new?

Cash plays at limit

Just wondering if there are any solid players who play at Sands regularly looking to set up some sort of coaching arrangement. I play $1/$2 and am looking to get better at my game. So far, I'm about breakeven. If you think you might be able to help drop me a PM. Thanks!

As I was walking to the bathroom some nice woman offered to sell me her bus voucher. Anyone know what the going rate is for black market comp dollars at Sands?

Glad to see a building interest for O8 at 10/20 level. We almost got a game last night with 8 people on list but floor screwed around for almost 2 hours once list topped 8 b/c they did not wanna break a 2/5 NL game which had 3 of the players at the table. Had me pretty upset being I only went there to play O8. When they did finally call it, several on list went home or were happy at the 2/5. The game would of definitely of went if they called the game like they should of when list topped 8 players. I was the guy at the table the 10/20 full kill night with the stack, I had just over 2K in front of me at one point. I was getting hit by the deck to say it lightly. I am gonna try to get the 10/20 going tonight for those interested come down. I am friends with most the regs in game, and there is no soft playing. It is really a good game and it is being spread more often there now which is good to see. And also yes, cash always plays at the O8 game as long as it is on table prior to hand start.

You mean food vouchers from the Asian ladies? $5 vouchers go for $2. And you can stack vouchers. I haven't paid full price for meals at the food court, ever.

People also sell their slot play cards as they get off the bus. The going rate is about 90% of the card value.

Thanks. Do they know fair mkt is $2 or do I have to negotiate?

...I wonder if buying slot vouchers for .90/$ can turn any of the slots to +EV??

will taking exit 3 in nj to route 22 take me around the construction...going to head out tomorow after work, i know i can take 80 from north jersey to avoid construction but that seems like an extreme roundabout to avoid a little traffic...mapquest looks like it has me gettin of at exit 3 onto 22 and then getting back onto 78 west a few miles down and im assuming thats to avoid the traffice,,,amirite?

You won't bypass all of it.

Take exit 3 to rt 22 into PA.

Take the exit for 512 South into Bethlehem (About 8-10 miles into PA)

Take a left onto Washington Avenue ( 3rd or 4th stop light)

Turn Right onto Stefko Blvd. (A mie or so)

Stefko goes over the Minsi Trail Bridge which takes you right into the Sands.

Any up for some Omaha tonight?

Let me think about it........ YES you talked me into it, start up a list if one is not already started, maybe even some 10/20 with full kill would be fun.

why didnt anybody mention BBJ that hit on september 18th 2011 around 10:30 PM ?????????????

Nobody cared?

So I ended up going to the PigPen place last Friday. It was alright.. I can definitely see the venue has potential. However it seemed to be college night, everyone was from some school Muhlenberg or something. I may have to try on a Saturday. Maybe Melt and Starters are better Friday?

Btw I played 5 / 5 No Limit last week and did very well. Is this a regular game at the Sands during the week?

And where can I find people selling the Food Vouchers

has 5/10nl been running during the day? thanks

Last time I was there, traffic was all the way to exit before sands.

easy directions...22 to 378 south to left onto 412 (3rd street) this does bring you to the opposite side of sands so you will be making a left into casino instead of a right. This is not the shortest route but has the least amount of turns.

Is there a daily/weekly tournament schedule available for Sands? What is the min/max buy in on 2/5, 5/5, 5-10? Thanks in advance.

Tournament schedule how funny is that.....and this is for Mike the Mad you mean the tournament schedule at the Sands. (aka the 1/2 house )...I guess that Oct. tournament schedule is just around the corner.

2/5 100-500
5/5 300-1000
5/10 500-1500

all max rake $5 and $1 for bb over 20 bux in pot


as far as tournies i dont think anything has been said yet
