Hopefully the BBJ will only apply to 2/4 to 5/10 limit games and 1/2 NL

I think this is definitely a bad idea. However, I would be very surprised if this applies to timed games, esp. with Taj now getting competitive in this area. Taj is competing in every ares besides 40-80 hold em and bigger NL, and I don't think Borg wants to drive any of the bigger players away.

Dealer (who also does floor) said that they are getting trained in a few days, but that the Borgata is funding the jackpot. She also said that it is for the month of December, only.

If that's accurate, fine, though it isn't a promotion i would value highly. If it somehow turns into something like they have at other casinos and isn't limited to games i don't play, it will be really annoying.

I like it. Of course I like anything that has the potential of giving me money without costing me.

I also like beginners hearing thinking "ooo, free bad beat jackpot".

That sounds like a pain in the ass to administer. How will they handle this? Any hand that looks likely to qualify, they gather the players' information, and then they contact the winners after the end of the month?

That said, sounds like a cool promotion, though I still fear it could be a trial balloon for a real BBJ.

True dat. I just hate the player funded jackpots with a passion.

The Borgata has driven the 20-40 hold'em players back to the Taj by not giving room comps. I didn't think the mid-limit stud players ever really left the Taj. Are you referring to the 80-160 stud game that now seems to be running at the Taj?
