[/ QUOTE ] i dont know how cool this is going to be for you but before i got a host at the borgata i'd just get the regular rooms comped, $50 to the front desk person got me upgraded to a suite.... just put the money under your borgata card when you hand it to them - worked for me at least 3 times, it depends on who you get though... some say they cant/dont accept "tips", some take the money and do their job

Re: Bummed about new Borgata poker rates

The poker rate was just such a great value. Without it available as readily it will tend to curtail my trips down there to some extent. No way I'm shelling out 400 to stay there. [/ QUOTE ] This is exactly it for me, too. I only recently turned 21 and have only got the room once as more of a party room, but I had planned on getting a $39 room many times this fall/winter since I'll be 120 miles away. Now I probably won't be going to the Borgata at all until winter break. Maybe I'll just stick to the Taj out of spite.

(worth it) I get suites now so I don't need to do that anymore but was just commenting that I have done it and it does work.

Do you play the high action games there on a regular basis?

[/ QUOTE ] I don't really play poker there anymore, I play a lot of blackjack... used to be green chip, now mostly black chip with a touch of purple - started getting 3 free rooms a week based on prior play (had a few weeks where I put in 50+ hrs of blackjack), then got hooked up with a host and now get suites whenever I want.

Re: Bummed about new Borgata poker rates
It might also depend on which operator you talk to..
I called for Fri/Sat in August and was told I could only have Sun - Thurs (I usually play 10-12 hrs per day of 6/12 and 10/20; 4-6 times per year). Called back thinking I'd ask about the criteria, but decided just to ask for Fri/Sat again and got it from a different operator... hoping if I make another Fri/Sat reservation when I check out, I'll be able to get it then from the desk clerk or perhaps now I'll always be able to get Fri/Sat [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've been mostly a 1/2 and 3/6 player (maybe 75%) so maybe your limits are the starting point. I need to check out the new room anyway so maybe Ima drink less and concentrate on better poker.
