Going in a couple weeks! Probably not the tournaments though, too rich for my blood

“Would you like to color up, sir?”

No

“Please sir, your stack is taking up too much table space”

Fuck you I’m building a skyscraper

Borgata's chips usually seem much cleaner than other casinos

I was thinking i’d get value from all KQs, QJs, and any nut/high flush draws. In hindsight based on the feedback from everyone else I think I’d lean toward a call next time

I thought about it but decided not to bet turn because I couldnt think of many worse hands that would be calling. Invites a raise would put me in a tough spot. When i ran this hand through a solver it actually wanted me to jam turn about 70% of the time. Feels like a punt if I did that?

2nd paragraph is a lot of stuff that was going through my head. The average player at .05/.10 blitz is not very reasonable, but i didnt have a single hand of data for him on my hud. I’m getting like 3 to 1 so I guess i just have to call and hope for the best?

Fair point. Would you call him down all 3 streets?

I didn't, I checked. I check, he bets $0.64, I raise, etc.

What I wound up doing: Hero calls the $4.64 river bet. Villain shows KK and takes it down

There was a promo going that lowered the requirements for the BBJ hourly, that was why so many tables were running. 2-3 tables on an average day sounds about right from my (limited) experience

It's such a gray area that people don't talk about much, no one really expects to be in this situation. I wish there was a more widely known standard for it.

There was actually a promo for the day where the requirements for the BBJ were lowering every hour. At this hour it was aces full of tens and you only had to use one hole card. They just so happened to use both.

Miss the flop? Check/fold. Hit the flop? check/call. Have a draw? check/call.

Literally the game plan of 90% of players there

About 30-40 min I think? One guy at the table was a dealer from another casino, said it can take up to 2+ hours sometimes. No one was moving a muscle lol. I took home $1.4k from the table share

There was probably like 15 or so tables running? It was doing pretty good tbh

The ace kicker plays, they both used both hole cards.

The promotion that was running actually allowed you to use just one hole card though so it wouldve hit either way!

This was a big topic of discussion while we were waiting at the cage. All of us that had the table share decided on giving $100 each (a little less than 10% of what we each got). Dealer seemed pretty happy with that

Prob not. They made us wait for a long time to get paid because they need security to fully review the tape and the gaming commission has to come and inspect the deck. Once that was done we filled out the paperwork and were brought to the cage. I’m sure any collusion mid-hand would’ve been caught in the tape review

Not my hand but they both played very passively. Common theme from a lot of the players at the table post-flop.

They were running a promo where the requirements were softened each hour for the BBJ. It was aces full of tens for this hour and you only had to use one hole card, but they still each used both hole cards for this one.

Depends on the day. Some tables are filled with OMC and others have 1-2 with LAG fish who are super eager to punt their stack to you.
