Borgata regulars - some questions about the games...
 

For those of you who play low and middle limits regularly at Borgata, I'd love to hear what your general impressions of the 3-6, 6-12 and higher limit games are.

I've only been to Borgata twice, logging a total of 12-15 hours at the 3-6 tables. Both times, I have absolutely crushed the game and found it to be very soft. To offer some background, I'm a regular Party 3/6 player (along with occasional sessions at 3/6 and 2/4 on P*, UB, True, etc.) and I beat these online games consistently, but the Borgata has been even better to me in very limited action.

While playing 3/6 during my last trip down to AC, I was told by at least 3 different players that the 6/12 game was about as loose as the 3/6 and I'm assuming these players were not pulling my chain, as each of them left the 3/6 when a 6/12 seat opened up.

Too late to make a long question short(:p), but what are the Borgata regulars' impressions of these games? How about the 10/20?

I'm on my way back to the Borg this weekend, so all input is much appreciated.

Slogger,

The Borgata will most likely have 4 or 5 $6-$12 games this weekend.

The Borgata $6-$12 games usually play softer than an online .50-1.00 game. I have seen some tough games however those games have players waiting to get into a higher limit game.

I suggest you give the $6-$12 game a shot. The games generally play very passive and very loose.

If you see someone using a pyramid to protect his cards and wearing a baseball hat and glasses, come say hello. I have just described myself.

Will do. Thanks for the info and encouragement.

I'll likely have a Yanks or Notre Dame hat on (big win for my boys tonight!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

I'll do my best. Never really kept notes for live games before, but I'll try to relay my general impressions and a hand or two.

I have met both her and him, and they are 2 very nice people. She also plays a mean 2-4 [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img].

I've played 6/12 there before and I'd agree with MG entirely.

I'm also going to Borgata the weekend of the 20th. I'd enjoy meeting other 2+2ers then.

It looks like all the fish in Borgata slowly graduated to 10-20 game. I skipped last weekend but two weekends before instead of the usual 2-3 10-20 games they had 5...and the game went just like 6-12, loose-passive sometimes even flat out dumb. All three( [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]) players on my table who knew what they were doing left with 3-4 racks ... It was just hard to believe that 10-20 could be THAT soft...but I don't know if that was just my luck with the tables or that was the general level of play...

The Borgata has very good games on the weekends.

Try Foxwoods. The 10/20 is always downy soft. Although the best game I have ever played in live is still the 15/30 that fateful sunday with "Double Down" mosch. My position kind of sucked, double down's didn't but it wasn't a big deal as the table was that good.

About 3 weeks ago at the borgata im playing in a 3-6 game on a saturday night while waitng for a seat in the 6-12.At the start Im not catching any card and im just folding for the first hour.I start getting some decent cards and the flops start clobbering me.Im showing down the best hand every time I go to the river.I become friendly with this 21 year old who decides to literally show me his cards every hand.I even told him it wasnt in his best intrest to show his cards to me,but he kept doing it.He is directly on my right and decides to open for a raise withh JJ.How do I know he showed them to me.I smile courtiesly and look down to find AA.I 3 bet and limit the field to him some other fish and myself.Board comes 2-8 7 rainbow.It gets capped on the flop and when a 3 falls on the turn it gets three bet.The fish drops on the turn.So its up to me and my new best friend.The river is a King.It gets 6 bet and my buddy is totally shocked when his Jacks didnt hold up.5 mins later I get called to the 6-12 game.The game was a little tight and I was questioning if I made the smart move of leaving that 3-6 game right when my buddy and his drunk friend sit down on my right again.Gotta Love the Borgata on a Saturday night.
