Default Re: 10/20 at the Borgata

Many of the Borgata bigger games (40-80, 80-160, sometimes 20-40) use time pots. In this scenario, one person puts the time up for the entire table (in 40-80, that would be 80 total in a full game). Then the winner of the first two pots of a certain size (400 in this case) each pay half the time back to the person who put it up. This favors tight players as they will win fewer time pots and thus pay less time. Many times, total fish won't adjust their play at all for this. If it tightens the game, it usually reverts to normal time again.

Default Compared to Taj and Trop?

How do the 10/20 games at the Taj and Trop compare
to the 10/20 at the Borg as described here?

Default Re: Compared to Taj and Trop?

I was at the Trop a few weeks ago on a Friday night, and they only had 1 $10/20 and 1 $6/12 game running. I sat in the $10/20 game and it was ok. But I wouldn't make a judgment of this game based on 1 night. Point is, I'd rather play somewhere with several tables running than just 1 semi-decent table.

A Trop 10/20 I played in one Sat. afternoon was probably the best game I played in AC in six months. Too bad that it broke.

A 10/20 game that is not soft is a rare thing to find, The Borgata included. Time charge is fine if you have a fast dealer. Not raking the pot speeds the game ever so slightly.
