Borgata WPT Side Action - How is it?

[Jeffage]

Hey Everyone,

Anyone who has been there during this, how has the side action been? In particular, are they running a lot of 80 games? Higher? Big stud games? What's the wait like? I can't wait to get my ass down there (poss. tomorrow).

I have no clue but I'm thinking the same thing, I literally cannot wait.

The Borgata $40 and $80 games have been phenomenal. Worth the trip and yes, the lines are big.

what about the nl...

Any update on this? Jeffage what did you find?

[Jeffage]

The 80-160 action was about the sickest I've ever seen it. Unbelievable game...I got buried like 6k on 3 outers, etc, then came back to break just about even. Considered it a victory. But you can't beat the action. Too bad I had to go back to work.

Damn you're quick!

When I was there they were spreading a 150/300. I think I saw Michael Gracz playing it but wasn't sure it was him. I was playing a short handed 6/12 game on a neighboring table at 5am and saw Paul Darden walk by looking lost and told him to join us.

Was this last night (Monday)? If so I was playing with you. I sat 6/12 short and 10/20 all night and the action was really good. They also had a 10/25 NL game going that had huge stacks at the table.

Nope, it was last week. But someone asked Darden to join their short 6/12 game at 5am again? Now that's a coincidence. The only other good player at the table was sitting directly across from me (I was in the 9 or 10 seat) from VA and told me he worked for the government. If that's you.

Nope wasn't me. I was there playing Monday night into Tuesday morning. Nobody asked Darden to play but he walked by and seemed pretty shot sometime late night/early morning.

[/ QUOTE ] I feel like this post should be bumped every time someone starts talking about the "juicy" 40-80 and 80-160 games. No matter how soft the game, you've got to be ready to lose 50 BB. [I know Jeffage knows this.] IMO, if you're not comfortable dropping 8K, don't play 80-160.
