Borgata 5/10 and 10/20 NL developments

[hamsamich]

I haven't seen too many people SS the 5/10 game but I play mostly on weekends. I don't think this represents any change to the min anyway amirite?

The 10/20 cap sounds interesting. I may have to check that out if it's going this weekend. I do agree though, I don't see how you can expect to keep a 10/20 & 10/25 game going for any length of time.

5/10 was 300-1500, now 500-2000.

And at least now I know what you look like, will be easier to find a soft game now

[hamsamich]

heehee.....you left that game pretty healthy right? I was gone not too long after you. had the other deep stack on my left and neither of us wanted to tangle. The gambling at the table got pretty wild after you left too.

GL will say hi if I see ya there.

lol I was barely up for that day - I was in for the tournament and about 1.5 buyins, so even wasn't quite $500.

Trying to remember who was on your left....was it that guy who was playing absolutely insane and calling with any pair?

I think the 10/20 game will take alittle while to get popular. Once it does it will likely take the 10/25 game's steam because if you want to play uncapped you can just move up to 10/25.

I would assume over time it becomes common to have the regular 4 - 7 5/10 tables going and 1-3 10/20 games going on a weekend.

Also, which table were you guys playing at Saturday (SellingtheDrama and hamsamich)?

I was the guy from Staten Island who had the blue shirt on with brown hair sitting in the 4 seat on the table that was in front of the 10/25 NL game.

[hamsamich]

spress.....sounds like you were in the hi limit room....we were outside @ a 2/5 table. I'll be down this Saturday playing 5/10 & maybe check out the new 10/20 game if there is one going.
Wow...another 2p2r from SI....yea baby.

I was born in Oakwood and live in Rossville now.

[spresso81]

Hamsamich - Yeah I was in the high limit room. It was packed last weekend.

I will probably be down there Saturday too. A friend of mine is coming with so I may play 2/5 with him or just play 5/10 myself. I think it should be good this weekend with the Breeders Cup in NJ, alot of extra gamblers will be in the horse room.

[SellingtheDrama]

I'll probably be at the 2/5 game...5/10 and I haven't gotten well this year and the 2/5 is just so juicy these days I have trouble passing it up. Knowing me as soon as I get to 2k in the 2/5 I'll probably bounce back up.

Yeah...horse weekends do bring extra gamblers into the games.

Look...all of you people with your arguments of EV such and such..and shortstack etc and taking away his depth and all this other technical mumbo jumbo...nobody has addressed the INDISPUTABLE fact that mikech provided with his example:

you guys are crazy. it's like the time on "high stakes poker" when brad booth bought in for a coooool million. he had nothing and phil ivey had pocket kings, he just shoved all-in with his massive stack and ivey had to fold. prima facie evidence right there.

In case you haven't seen the hand, Brad Booth bought in for a cool million and when Phil Ivey picked up KK, Brad Booth raised to a million on the flop in a 300/600NL game and Ivey really couldn't do anything but fold to the big stack. If a player like PHIL IVEY is at a disadvantage vs someone who buys in for a good deep healthy amount, then how can you shortstacks think buying into a 5/10nl for 1k is normal and doesn't place you at an immediate disadvantage?
