Borgata other than Hold Em' ?

I've played in a 4/8 O/8 game there once and been on the list for it a couple times. Doesn't go that often, though.

They have spread a 4-8 O8 game with a 1/2 Kill, they used to spread a 15-30 or 20-40 O8 game but that hasn't gone off in a very long time. The 15-30-45 and or 10-20-30 stud is a gem of a game, always the same guys and always terrible.

My goal when they open the new room is to get a 20-40 mixed game going OE 2-way or HOE.

The 80-160 mixed game there is absolutely disgusting in terms of action, but you better have ALOT of money to sit in the Omaha round bc it's ram-jam city. Also, my Omaha game is not great - one of my New Year's resolutions is to get extremely proficient at that game so I can sit the mixed comfortably. I got a ways to go though...

What games do they run in the Borgata 80-160 mix?

I've been wondering for a while, how do you get everyone to play all the rounds instead of the ones they are really good at? I mean if say a Omaha specialist is there, how do they ensure that he plays stud and hold'em rather than walking during those rounds? Or do people just take walks?

I guess the term "mixed" is a bit inaccurate. It is half Hold 'Em and Half Omaha 8. So it is really 80-160 Half and Half...many of the tougher players in the game play simply to beat the hell out of the hold em specialists every other down. But mostly it is loose as hell and great. Once in awhile the game will become all Omaha8 or they will insert Stud8. But typically the game is what it is.

Neat, I didn't even know that game ran there. What online limit does it play like?

It typically goes every weekend, not sure about during the week. It doesn't really have an online counterpart - in terms of looseness, it is looser than mid limit online games but the aggression in the Omaha round is nuts. I recall getting counterfeited after putting $1280 in the pot on one particular hand. That sucked. Then I got a Caesar Salad as I pondered killing myself. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Actually, the game is really good...I just decided I will stick with the straight 80 (or 40) hold em until I decide I can play Omaha at close to an expert level. Exception would be if three individuals who I will not name are in the game in which case I will just nut peddle hard during the Omaha round because the action is truly over the top.
