I don't remember. I do remember a medium limit Omaha game called out (maybe 10-20?), but I don't remember if it was Pot Limit or High/Low. I'm annoyed at myself, since normally I look for those things, but didn't this time.

Of course, no games are being spread for now. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Guys... how likely do you think it is that they spread a 10-20 PLO game($2000 buyin)

Did you notice if they've succeeded in getting the 75 stud going? It was going for a bit on opening day when I was there and I'm curious if it's become a daily game.

It was going with a list early Sat afternoon. The 40 HE game was full of Taj regulars.

When I was there on friday night they had a omaha8 at 4/8 and 80/160 half kill and two tables of stud hi. On sunday night there was a 15/30/45 stud hi and a 4/8 omaha8. THere were several lists of interest for 10/20 2way (holdem/omaha) and other 2 way games, but none of them were a go.

I think a 10-25 uncaped PLO game would be more likely. Gamboool!

In the past has the Borgata ever had any Stud Hi/Low games on a regular basis?

when the borg opened, there was a period where they had the 15/30/45 hi/lo stud game from the trop there.
it died out and went back to trop because the friggin nits didnt want to waste their precious comp dollars. i remember some of the guys in the game pesterring the floor at borg for like $7 comps for food because they were there from trop.
the game is apparently fairly dead now at the trop, and a 2 way 15/30/45 game goes all the time at the taj.
im waiting to see if that game makes its way to the borg.

There was a list of interest going the last day I was there, but I don't know if the game ever went. I'll pay more attention next time I go, if the damn casinos ever open again.

I was there this weekend, and there was always 75 stud going. However, they did not always have a 20-40 game, and I didn't see anything between 20-40 and 75-150. The midlimit stud players stayed at the Taj.

Also, there were a tremendous number of break-in dealers. Many did not know how to collect time at a 20-40 game. I saw a lot of basic mistakes, such as burning and turning before a player acted, pulling bets into the pot early, etc. In one case, the dealer grabbed the board up while I was still contemplating whether to call or fold on the river.

Until they sort out the dealer situation, I think their motto for spreading games should be: Keep It Simple Stupid.

Most of those are "extra" dealers that have been used from time to time during big tournaments, and are now a permanent part of the staff due to the expansion. Give them time. They'll get it right.

Though it was both hilarious and annoying to be at a game dealt by an older guy who kept unplugging the ShuffleMaster with his foot [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
