Borgata 6/12 report
I spent a day off from work last week at the Borgata. I usually play stud at the Taj/Trop, but a couple of co-workers wanted to check out the Borg. Got to the poker room at about 11AM.
Room was pretty full for a weekday, 11AM tourney had a nice turnout. My friends sign up for 3/6 and get seated at two different tables. I sign up for 6/12 and there's a list of about six names. So, I end up on a list for 3/6. Ate lunch, came back and got a seat in 3/6 with one of my buddies. Pretty unremarkable game, tight/passive with about three good players. Long story short, 6/12 game doesn't get off until 6PM. Lineup- three regulars, two fish, a young guy from a 1/2 NL game, two old rocks, a drunk blue-collar guy, and me. Game is tight agressive until the drunk blue-collar guy (I'll call him DBCG) gets sucked out on the river by an old rock. He starts berating the other end of the table, goofing on the rocks' Members-Only jacket, and calling an old lady and her daughter "fishies". This is when the game got real loose. DBCG is trying to run over the table with pre-flop raises, and the rocks/daughter are chasing with any semi-decent hand. Four players are pretty much on tilt now. Young NL guy is on my left, he comments about DBCG, "This guy is out of his mind, I was going to play NL, but I'm not going anywhere now." Here's an example, I had 89s in middle position with three limpers ahead of me, two more callers. Six to the flop, flop comes 6 7 10 rainbow. I get called down the whole way by the daughter/regular and the Members-Only rock. I get paid off pretty nice. Couldn't catch any cards the rest of the session (6 hrs.), and ended up with a small profit. But, if this game is typically loose mid-week, I'd like to see it on a weekend. BTW, it was the only 6/12 game going. |
