Re: Borgata Winter Open
IMHO, the answer is "no": the 1/2 NL games will not be much different the week of the tournament. The players who pony up $10,000 to enter the main event don't usually sit down at a 1/2 NL game...

Re: 1/2 live hand - curious about a read/tell
In 1/2 NL, I think betting patterns are more reliable than physical tells. I play in this game at the Borgata a lot, and so here are some of my observations.
First, an open-raise to $15 from MP...

Re: AC Tournaments Current-end year
I'm not aware of any in the buy-in range that you mentioned. The Borgata is starting a deep-stack tournament today, but I think that the buy-in is $5,000. In December, The Borgata is running a...

Re: Things that annoy you about live poker.
Three pet peeves:
1. When someone pushes all-in for like 6 stacks of red, and then the guy with $50 behind wanting to know, "how much is it?" before he can make a decision on whether to call.
