*** OFFICIAL Borgata Opening Weekend Thread ***

[Bulldog]

Who will be there? Playing what? When? Are we going to get a 2+2 rotation game going?

I have Saturday-Tuesday off from work. I'm leaning toward a Sunday day trip for some 10/20 or a 5/10 rotation game if there is something similar going.

I will be staying there Friday through Monday.

I'll be playing a lot of blackjack but do anticipate playing the Saturday morning $300 tourney and if there's a good 15/30 or 20/40-ish O8 game going I'd love to play that as well. I know a few others have mentioned interest in a game like this, so we should definitely try to make it happen.

Oh, and I'll be reaaaaally drunk too. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[mdelcorso]

Oh Yeah! It's finally here! All our hopes and dreams finally answered?

This isn't to be missed. I'll probably be there on Sunday playing 10/20...

"I will be staying there Friday through Monday. "

Straight from here? :P

"Oh, and I'll be reaaaaally drunk too"

STARTING here, I hope? :P (jk, with the driving thrown in)

I'll have to hold my official game report until I get these juicy trip reports from everyone who gets to go down.

[Obfuscation]

Dammit.

I can't possibly hit AC three weekends in a row, can I?

I'll be down the following weekend for the Summer Open.

I think I'll be there Saturday during the day. Anyone interested in a 5/10 (or maybe 6/12 in borgata's case) or 10/20 mixed game? Thinking about some holdem, 7stud 8, omaha 8, 2-7?

No 2-7 in AC. Thinking at the beginning they are going to want to spread only new games that they can expect to spread on a regular basis. Two-way games are already popular at the Taj, I was hoping to get a three-way (aka HOE) game going at the 10 level. If there is a game going I'll definately be in it unless there is a 10,15 or 20 O8B.
