Default \"Regulars\" at the Borgata....

I just got back from a 24 hour trip to the Borgata. Played 5/10 for about 14 hours on Saturday.

I encountered the biggest jerk I've ever seen at the poker table.

To all the regulars who play there: who the hell is "Rocco?" I don't want this thread locked, but suffice it to say, I would happily call this guy every name in the book (and did when we got into last night).

You talking about the 60 year old-ish Italian Rocco with the slicked back hair. Plays 10-25 NL. Probably him.

Is that right? Do you hold his hand and massage his [edited]everytime he plays. Didn't think so. Rocco has played 10-25. I've played it with him.

Rocco played BOTH 10/25 and 5/10 yesterday. He moved to my table from a 10/25 that effectively went on dinner break.

So, yes, it's that guy.

What's his deal? Why is he such a prick?

I was at the same table. Rocco was upset that the 800-1600 limit hold-em players were getting special treatment which he didn't get. What seat were you in?

Is that a typo, an exaggeration for humor, or is the Borg now spreading a game that's ten times bigger than the biggest regular HE game I was aware of?

Nope, it's completely accurate. There was a 2k-4k going the last time I was there.
