Tab, I played in a few tournaments this week at the Borgata. Yesterday and the day before while I was playing, I felt like it was a joke sometimes and I was involved in a few hands where I was very annoyed. I would hear random people on the microphone clowning around on more than one occasion. How can one concentrate on a hand? As i looked up they were players, not even workers. How and why did you let this happen more than once? YOU were right there too! Please dont let things go down hill! This tournament is great but that really pissed me off!

Please let me know if you plan on playing any cash games or SNGs because I want to be at your table.

Why would they come back on their off day next time to "have fun" if the only talk they here all day is internet kids talking about EV and hand ranges.

There are some other guys here who had the same thing happen and they were moved rooms, over to the Water Club. I assume if wi-fi is not available in my room (on floor 5 fwiw), the wall internet will be taken off my bill at checkout..?

They do that all the time at the Borg.....what did u end up working out w/supervisor..because i'll be in 3 days next week and 5 nights for ME and I dont want $150 per nite added to card either. No WiFi in rooms but there is a connection..when my daughter has problem w/connection we call to main desk and someone always runs her thru connecting..shes got MacBook.

I'm still perplexed about this wi-fi situation, as I type i'm hooked into the wall internet. Maybe i'll hunt Tab down tomorrow and get that sorted.

+1...for the last time, there is NO Wi-Fi in the rooms at Borgata, but Free Internet access (through wired LAN line) for tournament players...

there are FREE Wi-Fi access all around the casino...in the poker room, in the event center, in the lobby...practically everywhere in the hotel, EXCEPT in the rooms!

Around when is the 2k HU tourney likely to sell out? Planning on coming for a week, but probably going to get there last minute before the tourney, and might as well cut my stay two days if I won't be able to register.

Tab, what is up with the breaks for Event 14? Going 4 hours without a break is a joke. Should be every other level. I assume you will use your head and change this?

JFC do you really talk to people like that? Tab is a smart man, I'm sure he'll make changes as necessary. He really should tell you where you can shove your break though......
