I am thinking of playing that and the $1K side event and then heading to Vegas. Are these a lot tougher than the WSOP events?

I'm thinking about playing this and the Foxwoods 3k mega stack 2 days later. My guess is that all of the good players will be out in Vegas w/ only a few good regulars traveling cross-country to play this.

i expect really small fields and the tourneys to be real soft...even the 5k main event. im reworking my whole vegas schedule to come back for the borg ME.

The ME drew a huge crowd last year, around 360 IIRC, and virtually all of the East Coast players I saw earlier that month in Vegas were there. The prelims have to be super soft, they usually are in AC, and now a lot of the top players aren't there.

I was planning on playing Borgata this weekend and next and then heading out to the WSOP. The WSOP events are supposed to be soft, so I wondered if Borgata would be tougher. Guess I will go ahead as planned.

I was thinking of going down on Sunday to play the limit event (200+30). Starts at noon. I must be back for work on monday morning. It says it is a one day event, just wondering if anybody knows about how long a tourney like this will last? Start with 8K in chips and 40 minute rounds. Any guesses???

todd terry/betgo---if it helps, i was at borgata this past thursday-saturday for ring and the regular fri/sat tourneys and i was literally 1 of 5 regulars that were there..all 2/5, 5/10 rings were all unknown and it was soft as hell..in talking with a lot of staff the feeling was the turnouts are gonna be lower than last summer...the tourneys were getting 25% less than avg this weekend too..

im thinking 250-275 for the 5k main event on the 22nd and that may be generous..no way im missing that.

yesterdays 450 drew over 500 players...

big letdown for me in turnout for the opening event, i thought it'd be around 1k like usual.

lost a race @ the 800/1600/300 level, same old same old.
