Re: Borgata LO8 - 75/150?
[ QUOTE ]
in a 75/150 game with a kill (100/200) you can expect to have $5000 swings one way or the other fairly often. i.e., i played a 17 hour session my last day in Vegas and by the middle of the morning the game had taken on a feverish pace with multiple raises and pots contested multiway, and throughout that session I was $5000 ahead or $5000 behind multiple times. I think that on average, if you sit with $5000 you'll be fine, but dont be surprised if you play well and go broke, as it is possible, as is playing well and being $10,000 winnner.
I usually take $15,000 if I'm going to play the game for any length of time, i.e., more than three days.

All of this is QFT, and I'll just add that IMO the play is worse than 15/30 at PS. Very, very terrible overagg players, with maybe one actual good O8 player, and a bunch of probably-decent high stakes Limit Holdem players who suck at LO8. Then a couple of random suckers thrown in. That said, I dropped 8K last time I played it, and really didn't run all that bad (just a fair number of monster flops that didn't get there/hold up under the standard 4-way capfests).
IMO this is a GREAT game, as long as you can afford a buy-in (5K seems like a good number to take a shot with).
