Are you a mean mother $%^&ing servant of god.
Or
Are you a preacher who's lost his faith....
Huh ???

I mean deep down are you frugal person looking for a deal and good gambling

Or

Are you looking to spend some dough and live it up with the rich people.

The poll never said " Well your out with your friends and you don't wanna look cheap like govman... so where would you go" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't have any complaints [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Never did the purpose of an internet forum is to start discussion.

This poll is being taken too directly I think most "normal" people see what I'm trying to accomplish it's just good old fun.

B&M cardrooms and casinos are not just about poker it's about lifestyle and other casino games.

Like JJ said he sees a craps table and he thinks they are playing yahtzee.

To answer jjshabado's query, the only 6/5 games I've seen involve hand-dealt games or female dealers in bikinis, Hooters outfits or bunny costumes (unconfirmed, I'll find out next week, but I don't know why the Playboy Club would be any different).

I've taken your post to be a 'rhetorical poll', if there is such a thing. Some people will take it seriously and won't like it but I get your point.

I fit in the middle (which your 'poll' didn't allow for). I like as 'shiny and new' as my BR can afford although there IS something to be said for grunge.

ps. You seem like a happy, fun-loving guy. GL to you.

I think what you are trying to do is great, but the way you are going about it is obviously rubbing some people the wrong way. The reason is because your poll is so biased and worded in negative spin.

Since no one really feels strongly the other way, you are not going to the strong argument and intelligent conversation you want out of the confrontation. Only people displeased in the way you present the information.

Bravo for trying to get something interesting going, but you have to look at your delivery objectivly if you TRULY want the discussion you say you do. Otherwise I can only assume that what you really want is exactly what you got.

Hard Rock. Poolside, "swim-up" blackjack. She's dry, but in a bikini top. The pool's not heated, and the tables are shaded, so it's COLD, even in June. Enjoy!

Last time I played blackjack at borgata it paid out the right odds, and their craps tables went to 5x.

6/5 blackjack sucks
buffets suck.
[censored] hotel rooms suck.
casinos that have no appeal to the wife/girlfriend suck.

your poll sucks.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; the Borgata is the place where people with skill, but little money get to play with people with a little money, but no skill.

I don't like playing with nasty people and the Borgata has fewer of them. The folks who can afford to pay you off for a very long time are going to tend to feel the same way.

My definition of an Borgataite

1) Must have a nice plush room with large bathroom, 100 channels, good room service etc.
Call me a hedonist, but I've stayed in enough sh!tholes for one lifetime

2) Do not care about game rules... (exa) 6/5 on a blackjack 345 odds etc
Sure I care about game rules, but I don't play any EV- casino games. Just poker for me, thanks.

3) Would rather be around other well groomed people
Other than proper personal hygiene, don't really care.

4) Always have to stay at the "New and Shiny" places
New and Shiny, not sure. Just not old and crappy.

5) Money is of no concern
It is a concern, but balanced against fun/enjoyment/bankroll.

OR are you a Govman like grub [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

1) The Cheaper the Room the more money you have to gamble [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Meh, comfort is more important.

2) The less the Buffet costs the more you have to gamble
Cheap buffet usually = colon blow for me. Definitely EV-

3) Shows..... I only go to the free lounge acts so I have more to gamble.
Only show I want to see is you, showing me the money!

4) You hate sitting next to a guy in a suit talking about his stock portfolio
Not nearly as much as some tool going on about sports, especially after I make it clear that I am not an athletic supporter

5) Busch Beer and Keystone Light taste the same as Hinieken, Becks, Hefeweizen.
Grey Goose martini for me, please. The ony thing I use crappy beer for is cooking brats!

6) If the dealer hits on a soft 17 and pays 6/5 on a blackjack you wanna hit him.
No casino games for me, I'd rather have a better than 50/50 chance of keeping my money.

Yeah, I've always hated people that becuase you like something that is popular, go around talking about how you like something because it is popular. I find these people get off on liking un-popular stuff, while I tend to like the stuff I like, regardless of how other people feel.

OP strikes me as one of these people (mostly from one other thread), maybe he's not, but this poll reinfoces that view of him that I have. This poll basically says people can only like the Borgata because its "shiny and new" and becuase they want to be snobby. I believe this issue (and almost every other issue) has many many more subtleties.

If OP really wanted to know the demographics the poll and OP would look very different from what it looks like. End of rant.

Note: I'm not actually offended or annoyed by this poll. Its just the way I speak.

ok i'll take the bait since that's obviously what you're looking for and i suppose i fit your criteria

1) Must have a nice plush room with large bathroom, 100 channels, good room service etc.
yup, but i dont pay for my rooms at the borgata so the bigger the better - the huge suites, the bathroom bigger than your house, the nice sheets and fluffy pillows... yup, gotta have it

2) Do not care about game rules... (exa) 6/5 on a blackjack 345 odds etc
never seen 6/5 at the borgata, but then again neither have you since you've never been there - their blackjack tables have always had normal AC rules since the place opened

3) Would rather be around other well groomed people
yah, showers are nice, and so are things like nice clothes, shaving, haircuts, having a hot piece of ass by your side while gambling, etc.

4) Always have to stay at the "New and Shiny" places
nope, just the best, but unfortunately the two concepts are not mutually exclusive

5) Money is of no concern
i'm concerned about money, just not while gambling my ass off

1) The Cheaper the Room the more money you have to gamble [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
if you weren't so poor, you could stay in a nice place and gamble to your heart's content - see, when you gamble enough, your rooms are free

2) The less the Buffet costs the more you have to gamble
see above - buffet's are free if you gamble enough - seeing as how i dont think you've ever held a black chip in your life much less gambled with them for an extended period of time, i can see how that would be a problem for you

3) Shows..... I only go to the free lounge acts so I have more to gamble.
again see above - if you gamble enough, shows are free

4) You hate sitting next to a guy in a suit talking about his stock portfolio
i dont mind the suit, but i dont much care for stock talk while im gambling

5) Busch Beer and Keystone Light taste the same as Hinieken, Becks, Hefeweizen.
only if you burned your tongue real bad when you were young and cant taste things (or rather, you cant afford to drink quality alcohol)

6) If the dealer hits on a soft 17 and pays 6/5 on a blackjack you wanna hit him.
dont play blackjack with retarded rules


govman, you are simply a troll in this forum - you post about the same thing all the time, and while some people halfheartedly reply and try to engage in discussion with you, most people that view your posts just think you're lame, your subject matter is very, very tired (and most people have you on ignore by now) - you also appear to be quite jealous/salty/bitter towards those who can afford the better things in life, and that's just a real sad way to live your life, in my opinion
