borg 20/40 - Page 2

There was a strictlystrategy thread entitled the same months ago.

The only difference in 20/40 and 10/20 is that 20/40 is more fun because the pots are bigger and the people more interesting/lessnitty.

And that sometimes you will find a bad 20 game when rarely you will find a bad 10 game.

I'll be there this weekend. Look for the kid in glasses who everyone refers to as josh.

jkamowitz likes to prey on 10/20 players who shouldn't be moving up. I can think of no other explanation for his comment.

I dunno, I've noticed a change in skill as I've progressed from 2/4 up to 20/40+.

3/6 people can actually read the board and realize there's a 4-flush out there. They still couldn't figure out there was a 5-way chopped pot on an AKQJT board though and mucked, even though they called the river bet.

6/12 people stopped cold-calling my raises with T7o and occasionally folded their second pairs on the turn.

8/16 people knew what a raise in position for a free card was. They still liked to cold-call raises with A3s though.

20/40 started cold-calling my raises with T7o again

40/80 people didn't care if there was a 4-flush on the board anymore and kept betting second pair

easiest way to do this is when you're not in a hand try and put people in the hand on ranges

ok cool that's what I do. I was just wondering if anyone else had some other method they used away from the table. I think thebryce's pokerstove tricks are worth playing around with, but I haven't tried them yet for myself, because I am a lazy mofo lately.

just try it. see how comfortable you are. there are plenty of bad players at the borgata 20/40, but there are more good players. figure your win rate in bb/hr goes down and your variance in $ up a little more than 2x.

not sure if this is right place for this. if nec move to B+M.

i wanted to ask the 20/40 regs in this forum - what is the borg 20/40 like on weekends? is it at all similar to the 10/20?

it is likely that i'll be moving up to this game by the beginning of next year.

If you want to take a shot at 20-40 i would suggest to play at the Taj. That game is just so much better.
