Default 5/10 at the Borg - No more 6/12

Stopped in yesterday. The 6/12 game has now been replaced with 5/10.

Seems to be a good move, there were 2 full 5/10 tables while I was there (with a list). The 6/12 always had problems keeping a game going for whatever reason.

I don't know why, but according to dealers, the change happened Friday.

Couple of us in the MTT were doing double takes when this game got called.

I thought the management just didn't encourage the 6/12 games which caused them not to run often.

From what I have read about more chips generaly encouraging more action, it sounds like this would likely be not as good a game as a 6/12.

Do you know what the small blind is on the new game?

Most likely the same as the Taj, 2-5 blinds.

This seems like a good idea by them, since the game hasnt been going much. Whenever I played in that game, there were very few white chips on the table, and the dealer had to make change for like every bet which slowed down the game considerably. In a 5-10 game, there is almost never change being made, which is a definite plus. However, having less chips in the pot does decrease action, so it would have been kind of cool if they adopted the 7.50/15 pink game instead, but I can certainly understand why they wouldn't go that route.

Based on my perceptions at another casino which has made this switch, it appears that moving from 6/12 to 5/10 makes it more enticing for slot-machining 3/6 players to sit at a higher game while waiting for a lower table to open.

maybe im crazy and there's a good reason why this cant happen, but why not use 2.50 chips for the 5/10? would it detract too much from the all too famous pink game?

I was going to post this same idea and think I was a genius. Now I just feel lame.
