I was there playing 10/20 too. Was wearing either a Bellagio hat or a Mirage hat depending on the day. Must have played against some of you. I was the guy that won a huge pot Sunday night with a set of queens when some guy was re-raising me with nothing and another guy missed his flush draw (then I had pocket queens again the next hand).

Played at the Borgata, The Trop and the Taj this weekend. Started off with 3-6, worked up to 6-12, and finally the 10-20 which i play much better in. Left the Borg up $500, tried to get home on the Academy Bus , which was a nightmare. No bus showed up at the Showboat, so decided to wait it out at The Trop and play the pink chip game for most of the night. Up a few hundred from there, decided to play poker at the Taj while waiting for the bus the next morning. All in all a good weekend, except for the nightmare ride back on the bus. I fell aslept on the bus and was jarred awake when we started making a turn and heard a loud scrape. It seems the bus driver was driving us back to AC, when he decided he was going the wrong, and made the decision to make a U-TURN ON THE AC EXPRESSWAY MEDIAN AND GOT STUCK!!! Needless to say we got stuck, and had to have State Troopers come get us out. Forty Minutes later another bus and 4 hours back to NYC.

I was at the Borgata Sat and Sunday, playing 1/2 NL. The room didn't seem busier than any other regular weekend. No monster waiting lists when I started playing. I even had extended periods of time when the table got real tight and almost everyone knew somewhat how to play the game. I ended up ~$125 for the two days.

Highlight of my trip was on Sunday I was seated at a table with 4 women, 1 was smoking hot, 1 was above average, and 2 were ok looking...all 30's or younger. One of the girls was in crutches, who was a very cute asian. If any of you guys were there, I was the asian guy with an ipod in the 3 seat.

Fun times.

I was at two horrible afternoon 10/20 games @ the borg on Saturday and a great afternoon 10/20 game on Sunday. Sabres jersey, fat guy with headphones on Saturday and w/o on Sunday.

I played 1/2 at the Taj on saturday. I don't have a ton of experience with live NL so it was only maybe my third time this year I played it. I bought in for 100 bucks and within 4 hours I had a stack of close to $800 dollars!

I think i'm going to play NL a bit more often.

Too bad that beautiful Jersey will never make an appearance in a poker room ever again.

+1500 playing a mix of 5/10, pink chip and 10/20 going into Sunday. Dropped $600 @ the Borg 10/20 game then another $700 @ the Taj 10/20 game later that day.

Ugh.
